0:00.0	Welcome back to another episode of Arnold's Pump Club. Today, I released a video about my legacy.
0:08.4	It's titled My Legacy is You. A lot of people make shit up when they promote a book,
0:14.7	but I recorded this video because I meant every single word. You can go to my YouTube channel
0:20.8	or social media to see the video, but the whole point is that wrote this book to help you find
0:26.8	your own success in life. I wanted to provide the tips that I think can be used by anyone.
0:32.4	Because long after I'm gone, my legacy won't be the bodybuilding trophies or the box office records.
0:40.0	It will be the lessons I shared that made all of you more useful. It's also why I do this
0:45.6	podcast in the Daily Newsletter. I want to help you all become better. So thank you all for being

1:32.0	studies are needed to determine if probiotics could help in the context of severe depression.
1:38.3	But when studies have tested prebiotics alone, they did not show any benefits. So probiotics are
1:45.0	likely the primary provider of these positive effects. While more research is needed to
1:51.6	determine why probiotics may help treat depression, Adam explained to me that there are two current
1:58.3	theories of what might be happening. First of all, your gut produces microbes that then produce fatty
2:06.0	acids, which have been shown to improve your mood. It could also be that gut bacteria may stimulate
2:13.2	the vagus nerve, which sends signals from the gut to the brain to improve mood. If you're like me,
2:20.5	learning about this stuff can be fascinating. We'll definitely keep an eye on research to see how
2:25.6	this continues to develop. Now, let's talk about old bodybuilding approach that might need to be
