| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of Sigma Nutrition Radio. |
| 0:05.0 | And as always, I'm your host, Danny Lennon. |
| 0:08.0 | We're at episode 325 of the podcast today. |
| 0:13.0 | And in just a few moments, I'm going to be joined by Dr. Kirk Parsley. |
| 0:17.0 | And let me start by maybe giving a bit of context about this particular episode, how it came about, |
| 0:23.1 | and what we're planning to cover and what it doesn't cover. |
