0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Nutrition Diva podcast. I'm your host, Monica Reinegel, and this is
0:10.0	the third in a series of episodes in which we're talking to nutrition professionals from
0:15.1	around the world about their culture's traditional cuisine and heritage. So if you missed those
0:21.2	previous episodes, please check them out. We did one on traditional Indian food, one on Colombian
0:26.9	cuisine. You can find both of those on our website at quickandirtytips.com. And several of you
0:32.3	have now written in to suggest other countries and cuisines that you'd like to explore together.

0:44.1	cuisine. Many people consider it to be a healthy cuisine, but I'm wondering whether it might be too

1:39.2	Nice to meet you, Monica. Thank you so much for introducing me.
1:43.6	So on your blog, you tell a story about moving to the United States at the age of 11 and being sort
1:51.0	of plunged into school without really knowing any English at all. That sounds really challenging.
1:58.6	Yeah, yeah, it was, but looking back, it definitely it was a stressful time during that time,
2:04.8	but looking back, it taught me a lot. I bet. Well, I'm curious what made you decide to study
2:12.6	nutrition after finishing high school here in the United States?
