Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Sirius XM Triumph 11.

Laura, welcome to the program. Thank you, Dr. Laura, for taking my call. And I am a first-time caller, so I'm a little nervous. So I'm going to give a little background.

I am 60 years old.

I am active, always been active and healthy, stayed in shape.

Been to the gym since I'm in my 20s.
