0:00.0	Everybody, welcome to the show. This is another installment of the Derenalene show. Your questions
0:09.5	and my answers. So, you know, this one is a big one and I'm going to try to keep it as succinct
0:16.8	as possible because this is talking about supplementation. The global dietary supplement world
0:24.7	is massive. It's now approaching $150 billion. That was actually in 2021. So it's surpassing that
0:36.9	and they think it's going to be around $240 billion in 2028. And it's a little bit of the Wild West
0:46.2	as it comes to, you know, have you heard of, I didn't really get into the dietary supplement world
0:52.2	in my fatal convenience book, but it largely is a world that I very much am familiar with and come
0:58.6	from and it's a lot of the Wild West claims marketing and very little substantiated quality. And
1:06.6	that's really a shame and they're taking advantage of you. So we're going to try to get into a
1:11.9	little bit of that and, you know, your personal vitamin mineral super food regimen. It seems
1:22.4	as though if you listen to all the marketing that we need to buy so much and we need to invest in
1:29.0	so much and that's true and not true. Because of our modern day world, the fatal convenience
1:34.8	world that we are in and of course the food is no longer the same, right? And you've heard me talk
1:42.8	about that maybe you haven't, but if you're listening to this podcast, you're probably well aware
1:47.9	that our food quality is in the toilet because of conventional farming. We need to grow our food again
1:54.0	is best that we can as much as we can. We need to create food rather than lawns. I think it's 47
2:03.1	million acres of lawns told to me by my great friend and badass Paul Hawking. 47 million acres
2:12.2	of lawn that we are watering instead of food and we could largely create food security and get out
2:21.3	of the chemicalized version of food production. That's a whole nother tangent. So again, like,
2:28.4	subscribe, share this. It's important that we build community of self-empowered, sovereign
2:36.8	individuals taking your health back from the profit-centered power that we've all been born into.
2:46.1	So it's not necessarily your fault or my fault. But now that we know, now that we learn, we can then
