0:23.4	Today I had the honor of connecting with my friend and colleague Shayna Husin. She is a registered dietician. She is the host of the
0:37.0	Fast to Heal podcast and is on a mission to help women reverse obesity, diabetes,
0:43.4	PCOS, and fatty liver.
0:45.5	Today we dove into the chief contributors
