0:00.0	Welcome to the MyBuddyGreen podcast. I'm Jason Wachib, founder and co-CEO of MyBuddyGreen and your host.
0:07.8	Hey everyone, if you're a regular listener of this show, you know about my passion for
0:12.6	methylation and how homocysteine levels might just be the most underrated biomarker for longevity.
0:18.3	A healthy homocysteine level is less than 15 and mine was 63. Well guess what, it's now 10.
0:26.0	This is where our methylation support plus product comes in as it optimizes methylation

1:41.2	Pilates statement from our last episode, which certainly caused an uproar the last time she was on
1:47.2	the show. So the last time we had you on, we were having a fantastic conversation about building
1:55.0	muscle and protein consumption. And I thought I asked a very, you know, harmless, innocuous question
2:04.9	about Pilates. And if I recall, it was something along the lines of, is Pilates enough? It one is
2:11.6	focused on building muscle mass and your answer was nothing against Pilates. I like Pilates,
2:19.1	but no, it's not enough. And wow, the uproar, the trolling, what is going on?
