0:00.0	Welcome to the Ask a Nutritionist podcast, brought to you by Nutritional Weight and Wellness.
0:06.2	We are thrilled to have you join us today as we discuss the connection between what you eat and how you feel and share practical real-life solutions for healthier living through balanced nutrition.
0:17.6	Now let's get started.
0:19.2	Good morning and welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition's new midweek
0:23.2	segment called Ask a Nutritionist. My name is Brittany Vincent, a registered and licensed
