0:00.0	Hello and welcome to episode 303 of Sigma Nutrition Radio, the podcast that brings you
0:07.1	deep discussions about nutritional and health sciences. And as always, I'm your host, Danny Lennon.
0:15.1	One of the biggest questions facing society at large and particularly the areas of health care and
0:23.2	those that work within it is what if anything can be done about the current
0:29.2	trends in chronic disease that is related to lifestyle and there's a number of
0:35.2	diseases that would come under the spectrum.

1:54.9	able to either change or change effectively. And so looking at the extent of this problem and solutions is a worthwhile,
2:05.5	albeit difficult, endeavor. So today's guest is Dr. Brad Dieter, who has been on the podcast twice
2:13.3	before, once as an individual episode in episode 107, and was also on our panel discussion
2:19.8	on saturated fat that we had in episode 200. And recently, I had the chance to connect with
2:27.6	Brad in person after knowing him in an online fashion for several years, where we got to hang
