| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone, welcome to Science versus Bullshit. I had a week or two off, just a week actually, I think, to make sure that I nailed the last commit to six intake and that all my clients were happy. |
| 0:16.8 | That's what I was doing last week. Sorry, I'm sure everyone was really upset that I wasn't here. |
| 0:22.3 | But many things have been sent to me, many things to review. |
| 0:26.5 | And I will be covering Ella, the quote-unquote golden pill, a few questions around |
| 0:32.8 | creatine, and then a really interesting question from a client. |
| 0:36.8 | And then maybe one more more but I'm not sure |
