Now I've been a wonderful pistachios customer for a long time prior to them coming on board, as I'll typically use their no-shells, honey roasted pistachios in my morning oatmeal, and then have some no-shells, sea salt and vinegar as a healthy fat source for a meal or snack in the evening. Wonderful pistachios come in a number of other flavors, as well as different sizes for taking with you on the go, and they also have unsalted versions, which holds the sodium but not any of the flavor.

Wonderful pistachios is a complete protein providing all nine essential amino acids.

Like other nuts, pistachios are known for their protein power, the fiber content, and better

for you unsaturated fats for a combination that may help you feeling fuller, longer.

Whether you're running between meetings, dropping off the kids, or need something on the way to the gym, Wonderful Pistachios are the snack that works as hard as you do.

I'm going to be playing the role of the patient. So a little acting generously, charitably using the term acting. So we'll see how good Dr. Baraki is when he puts on his clinician's hat. And also we've got a quack watch from the New York Times. So that's going to be fun. On the other end of the line is the second most handsome doctor in North America.

Dr. Austin Baraki, what's going on, man?

Hey, interesting, unexpected twist.

So hopefully this works out or at least provides the desired edutainment that people are looking for.

But I'm doing all right.

Yeah, people really just wanted me to play the patient.

I think that's, you know, the people have been saying

that. Everybody's been saying it. No, gosh, I just need, I want to get off the internet.
