0:00.0	Welcome to episode 444 of the Intermittent and Fasting podcast.
0:09.7	If you want to burn fat, gain energy, and enhance your help by changing when you eat, not what you eat,
0:16.7	with no calorie counting, then this show is for you. I'm Melanie Avalon, biohacker, founder of Avalon X, and author of What, When, Wine?
