| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, Kay here, Director of Dr. Mark Hyman's brand new longevity roadmap |
| 0:04.8 | docu-series. I'm so excited to announce that this docu-series is now live and today we wanted to |
| 0:10.3 | give you a sneak peek of episode 6. In today's episode, Dr. Hyman and his team at the |
| 0:16.4 | Ultra Wellness Center discussed the food as medicine approach to longevity. You can eat to beat |
| 0:21.7 | disease, you can eat to prevent disease, you can eat to enhance your health span and your lifespan. |
| 0:27.6 | Let food be thy medicine. Here's a sneak peek of episode 6 of the longevity roadmap docu-series. |
