| 0:12.3 | confused about why I couldn't look like my favorite plant-based influences even though I was |
| 0:17.8 | chugging back green smoothies every day. After a decade of unsustainable vegan diets, |
| 0:23.9 | I learned the truth about weight loss, lost 40 pounds, |
| 0:27.7 | and now I'm in the best shape of my life even after two kids. |

| 1:43.0 | I had such a fan girl moment. It was so |
| 1:45.6 | amazing to interview him for the podcast. And he is really in my mind the key person when it |

| 1:59.7 | an even reverse disease. |
| 2:01.7 | He is the creator of NutritionFacts.org, which I love sending people to. |
