0:00.0	Thank you for tuning into the Goop podcast. May possible by our friends at Parsley Health.
0:10.0	Hi, I'm Erica Chidi, co-founder and CEO of Lume and the co-host of the Goop podcast. At Lume,
0:19.8	we believe that a woman's health journey begins with education because we know that understanding
0:24.1	your body can change your life. Much like what we do here at Lume, Parsley Health was founded
0:29.8	to bridge the gap between wellness and medicine. Parsley is the largest functional medicine

2:01.8	to the conversations that are led by my brilliant co-host and friend, Erica Chitty. Erica is
2:07.5	the CEO and co-founder of Loom and she's been a part of the Goop family since the beginning
