Welcome back to the Diet Doctor podcast.

So you might notice something a little bit different.

Now, with the stay-at-home orders, with coronavirus, it's, you know, hampered my ability

to get out and travel and go to conferences and meet people in person, which is how all our other

podcasts have been done.

So we're venturing out into the virtual podcast. So

please forgive us if there are any technical difficulties in sound and in the video quality.

You know, we do our best to make the best viewing and listening experience for our audiences.

And she then found it difficult to find someone to work with to help her continue getting her PhD.

in communication rhetoric and digital media still with her thesis about the dietary guidelines.

So what it comes down to, though, is she probably has spent more time researching the dietary

guidelines and knows more about the dietary guidelines than just about anybody.
