0:00.0	Today I am honored to welcome Dr. Alan Bacon to the podcast.
0:05.1	Alan has quickly become one of my favorite voices in the fitness industry because he doesn't shy away from difficult subjects and he is one of the rare professionals with a tangible passion for helping people.
0:17.7	Alan brings a rare blend of scientific rigor, no-nonsense myth-busting, and genuine
0:22.5	hilarity while remaining grounded in evidence and inspiringly practical. His ability to cut

0:33.0	and I'm blessed to have him here and share his insights with both me and you. Dr. Alan Bacon,
0:38.5	welcome to the podcast. Hey, thank you for having me on, Jordan. You know, it has been an honor of

1:40.1	And he had been a doctor for many, many years, practiced for 35 years.
1:44.3	And towards the end of his life, one of the things that I had said to him was, you know, if you could do things over again, what would you do differently?
1:52.1	And what he said stuck with me.
1:54.1	He had mentioned that he wished that he had spent more time with family. He wished that he had spent more time doing things that he was really passionate about because, I mean, to be honest, he was a great father and was working all the time
