0:00.0	Hello ladies and gents welcome to another episode of the Genius Life. I'm your host Max Lugov
0:04.1	your filmmaker, health and science journalist and the author of the New York Times best-selling
0:07.8	book Genius Foods. In this episode of the show I'm super excited to welcome back my good
0:11.8	friend Chris Masterjohn PhD. Chris is a nutritional science expert and I consider him one of the
0:18.5	foremost thought leaders on how to really harness the power of micronutrition for better
0:25.8	health for a longer life and to just overall feel and perform better. In this episode of
0:32.6	the show we're going to go deep into a few topics. We're going to talk a little bit about

1:53.6	to give a shout out to the sponsor of this episode of the show and that is Ned Ned makes among the
1:58.2	highest quality CBD products I've ever seen and in a time when CBD infused products seem to be
