0:00.0	On today's episode of the Real Foodology Podcast.
0:03.0	So we went from what I call the Johnny Bowdoin Four Food Groups,

1:28.0	Also, there is a connection between insulin resistance and heart disease and cholesterol which you know we learned in
1:35.3	earlier podcast episodes but it's just I love these conversations so much guys I love
