| 0:00.0 | Hey deserving listeners, it's that time of year again when I try to clean the slate regarding the emails that y'all have sent in. |
| 0:08.0 | Whenever you email in, Stacy will put your email into a Google Doc and then I will go through the emails, you know, |
| 0:19.0 | if I'm doing an episode by myself or an episode with one of the co-hosts and the emails will pile up and so I at the |
| 0:28.4 | end of the at the beginning of each year I try to go through all those emails and clean up the Google Docs because if I don't do that, |
| 0:36.6 | the Google Docs will become so large that they won't open. If you've ever had a Google Doc that has too many pages, |

| 1:36.9 | it down. A few days ago, I came across a link where an interconologist who champions a healthy lifestyle, this interconologist |
| 1:47.4 | tweeted that on a weekly basis he deals with a patient referred to him for obesity that has experienced sexual or other abuse as a child or teen. |
| 1:58.0 | And just chime in here, she sent me a link to said tweet or Instagram post and it is by Dr. Carl Nadolsky and it says not a |
| 2:11.2 | fucking week goes by that I don't have a patient referred for obesity |
| 2:16.4 | and complications who has a history of weight gain after sexual or other abuse trauma as a child or adolescent, so heartbreaking |
