| 0:11.0 | I'm your host, Ari Witten, and today I have with me, Dr. Miriam Rahav, who is a triple board |
| 0:16.6 | certified physician in the fields of internal medicine, hospice, and palliative medicine and functional |
| 0:22.2 | medicine. That sounds like 15 years of training or something really remarkable. Dr. Rahav is also |
