0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Sigma Nutrition Radio, the podcast that brings you deep conversations about nutritional and health sciences.
0:08.0	As always, I am your host, Danny Lennon.
0:10.9	We are at episode 305 of the podcast today.
0:16.1	Now, when it comes to creating a successful career within the health and fitness industry,

1:50.4	podcast is Dr. John Barardi, who was on the podcast a few weeks back when we talked about
