0:00.0	Hey there, welcome to episode 423 of the Find Your Food Voice podcast.
0:04.5	Today, we are talking about midlife body changes.
0:07.5	Let's get to it.
0:10.1	Hey there, dear voice finder.
0:12.3	I am Julie Duffy Dillon, registered dietitian, and your host.
0:16.1	I'm excited to share with you this week's episode.
0:19.7	Today is a letter episode. And if you're new to the podcast,
