| 0:00.0 | Health, wealth, happiness. I'm Dr. Michael Grecker and you're listening to the |
| 0:06.7 | Nutrition Facts podcast and while I can't promise you all of those things, if you |
| 0:12.8 | take a listen to the evidence-based nutrition found in this podcast, chances are |
| 0:16.8 | you'll learn something that you can use to make a positive change in your diet |
| 0:20.6 | and in your health. My job here is to bring you the information you need to make |
