0:00.0	Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition, brought to you by nutritional weight and wellness.
0:14.4	We are a Minnesota company that specializes in real food, nutrition, education, and counseling.
0:20.6	My name is Leah Kleintrote, and I've been a registered and licensed
0:24.2	dietitian with nutritional weight and wellness for the last seven years.
0:28.0	We have been helping people connect what they eat to how they feel and perform for over 35 years.
0:36.3	Believe it are not, food and nutrients can have a significant impact on how
0:41.1	well our brains work. I have a quote from Dr. Daniel Eamon here that I want to share to kick us off on
0:47.4	this show. He says, quote, when your brain works right, you work right. When it is troubled for whatever reason, you are much more

1:46.3	This is a topic I am paying close attention to as I have a son who's just getting into the
1:51.4	martial arts scene. I have a close family member who is an Army veteran who is now unfortunately
1:56.9	suffering from Alzheimer's disease. I have some nephews who play lacrosse and football,
2:02.5	and I have another close family member who slipped on the ice here in Minnesota,
2:07.1	hit the back of her head and suffered a concussion, as she still has some lingering effects from
2:11.8	that injury almost a year later. So I just want the listeners to just take a moment and think,
2:17.3	have I had a concussion
