0:00.0	Do a challenge say okay. I'm give it 90 days. I'm not going to have any alcohol. I'm going to hydrate really well half your body weight in ounces of water every day as a minimum
0:10.2	I'm going to cut out the ultra processed stuff, the dairy, the gluten, and
0:13.7	see. So sort of like a whole 30 plus whole grains, right? And I'm going to see how that
0:18.8	works. And then you might decide, this is not how I want to live live but you can then figure out how much
