| 0:02.0 | Oh |
| 0:03.0 | Oh Brian Sanders is the filmmaker behind the Food Lies documentary hosted the Top 5 nutrition podcast, Peak Human, and an international speaker. He graduated from |
| 0:38.7 | UCLA with a degree in mechanical engineering. Found it. I'm also an engineer, but I've never |
| 0:44.4 | done any of my engineering degree at all. He's the founder of Sapien Center, a popular health club |
| 0:51.3 | in Austin. He also works to spread the awareness of regenerative agriculture and increase access to well-raised animal products through his nationwide |
| 0:59.7 | meat and body care company nose to tail. Incredible. Incredible. All this stuff right at my alley, |

| 1:44.4 | the Primal Blueprint, and they cut out seed oils that added sugars and refined grains. |
| 1:48.9 | And their whole life changed. And I did the same. And so, yeah, I basically think that my |
| 1:55.5 | parents were victims of the food pyramid and just of the modern sick care system because they did what they were told |
| 2:03.3 | our whole lives we ate the foods that we were told to eat we ate the low fat products we ate |
| 2:08.5 | the whole wheat pasta and the whole wheat rice and lean chicken and low fat dairy the whole thing so you |
