0:00.0	I'm really happy to have another nutrition focused episode on the podcast today because if there's
0:07.8	one part of the healthcare industry that I feel is vastly underappreciated, it is dietitians.
0:15.1	A lot of the times, we're just trying to make the best choices for our family.
0:18.5	We are trying to eat a little bit healthier, cook a little bit more at home, hope that we're doing what's best for our kids, seeing all
0:25.4	of this fearmongering on the internet about seed oils and sugar, and sometimes it can feel like
0:30.9	food is scary, and every food decision feels so big and overwhelming. And it can really mess with our heads.

1:32.3	that connects you with nutrition professionals and helps you get it covered by your insurance. It's
1:36.9	absolutely amazing. And the work that she's doing is changing the game and helping us all work
1:43.0	one-on-one with a nutrition professional for a true accessible price, literally just a co-pay. I cannot believe that I didn't find her company sooner and I just want to kind of scream it from the rooftops. So I'm really happy to be able to get Vanessa on the pod today.
