Hello, everyone. We know the last thing you need is another fitness podcast to catch you up on the newest trends, fat diets, all the things that are based off of popular opinion and not research. Enter myself, Mariana. We made fitness stuff for normal people podcasts to make exercise and nutrition science practical. Our goal is to expose misinformation in this industry by providing

only evidence-based education. Where today we are talking about the hot-putton topic of

alkaline water, this trend that is sweeping over social media, thousands of dollars spent

on these machines. But before we get into that, a friendly reminder.

This show is free, always has been free. And we actually have some pretty exciting news to announce first time on our podcast. We've been talking about it on our social medias as of lately.

But people keep asking us where they could find more. And if we could do something special,

or if we want to make this podcast limited and start

charging on an account of subscription, something like that, and that's not what we're trying to do.

We're trying to reach as many people as possible. That's why this podcast is free and always

will be free. But what we just announced is that we made a Patreon account where we're taking

the science and evidence that we break down

on each episode on our social medias. And the goal is essentially to make that applied science,

where we can actually apply it into your individual and your unique life to give you the

confidence and understanding to better understand your training, your nutrition,

your health. So we just launched that. It's actually the first live lesson we're doing is this

Friday, the date that this actually should be rolling out. So if you're hearing this early in the

morning, the day it drops, race on over there because we also got like $500 in giveaways as well.

It's going to be five bucks. And we're excited to get into this. So Mariana, let me start by this. What up? You've been through some some challenging couple days here with your wisdom teeth, haven't you? Oh, yeah. I'm doing good right now. I have a bunch of numbing stuff. So I'm in zero pain, which is great. Naturally, I got my wisdom teeth out a week ago.

And of course, they got infected and I got dry socket.

But now we're on the upswing.

But she's here.

Back to back weeks.
