| 0:00.0 | Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter. |
| 0:10.4 | All right, everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast. |
| 0:14.6 | I'm your host, Zach Bitter, and today I have a topic-based episode for you. |
| 0:19.2 | So today's topic was sent in by David Sanger. |
| 0:21.7 | David was interested in time-restricted feeding as a tool to use in your dietary approach. |
