| 0:14.3 | Today on the exam room. My breakfast used to be a dozen eggs, a bowl of oats and blueberries and peanut butter. I was eating three chicken breasts every two hours for five meals a day with rice and broccoli, the traditional bro bodybuilding type of diet. To the next day when I went vegan it was |
| 0:19.6 | a bowl of frozen blueberries, dates, and bananas. That was my transition, it was instant to eating vegan. |
| 0:25.2 | I didn't know about kinewa and grains and all that stuff, |
| 0:27.4 | so it was just fruits and veggies. |

| 1:07.1 | That was his go-to snack. |

| 1:09.9 | That's my go-to snack. |

| 1:13.2 | eating well hasn't been taking care of himself and now he's sick you know |
