0:00.0	This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens. I get asked all the time what I would take if I
0:05.2	could only take one supplement. The answer is invariably Athletic Greens. I view it as all
0:11.2	in one nutritional insurance. I recommended it in fact in the four hour body. This is more than
0:16.0	10 years ago and I did not get paid to do so. With approximately 75 vitamins minerals and
0:21.6	whole food source ingredients, you'd be very hard pressed to find a more nutrient dense and
0:25.8	comprehensive formula on the market. It has multi vitamins, multi mineral greens complex,
0:31.0	probiotics and prebiotics for gut health and immunity formula digestive enzymes, adaptogens

1:13.9	produced in our bodies from sun exposure. So adding a vitamin D supplement to your daily routine
1:18.4	is a great option for additional immune support. Support your immunity, gut health and energy
1:23.6	by visiting athleticgreens.com slash TFS. You'll receive up to a year supply of vitamin D and five
1:31.2	free travel packs with your subscription. Again, that's athleticgreens.com slash TFS as in
1:38.8	Tim Ferris Show. Athleticgreens.com slash TFS. This is Tim Ferris and welcome to another episode of
1:45.1	the Tim Ferris Show. Happy to have you guys. This episode is an experiment. The guest is Steven
1:53.9	Jay Dubner. You may recognize his name. He's an award-winning author, journalist, radio and tv
1:58.6	personality. Best known, probably, for writing along with economist Steven Levitt Freakonomics,
