0:06.8	And I'm Juliette.
0:08.3	And you're listening to The Ready State Podcast.
0:11.6	You got it.
0:13.5	This episode of the Ready State podcast is brought to you by Momentus.
0:20.2	I want to talk about one of my superpowers as a human being. Is that sleeping? No. Although. That is one of them. That's just the gift. Oh yeah, that is a gift. One of my freakish traits is I can take the most number of pills. In a single serving? In a single serve. Yeah, you are really good at that.
0:38.3	It's actually, it's, I don't know if you should be proud of that.
0:41.1	I am proud of it.

1:39.2	I love Momentus, it's actually third-party tested. A lot of these supplements are not. And it's
1:45.5	NSF and Safe Sport approved, which means that no one is going to take these vitamins and then
1:51.6	pop for some weird performance dancing drug if you get drug tested. And because I'm getting
1:56.2	drug tested all the time in my life as a middle-aged father, because my performance is so elite,
