Hello guys and welcome to another episode of Sigma Nutrition Radio.

Thanks so much for tuning in today.

Today I'm being joined by Dr. Linda Fersetto, who is a nephrologist in San Francisco, California, and she's affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area, including San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical

Center as well as UCSF Medical Center.

She received her medical degree from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine

and has been in practice for over 32 years. So before we get into anything else, I'd just like to say,

welcome to the show, Dr. Fursetto.

Yeah, hi, Danny. Thanks a lot for asking me to do this. I really appreciate it. So I am a

professor of medicine at the medical school at the University of California, San

Francisco.
