0:00.0	Hello and welcome back to a brand new season of the FoodMedic podcast. I'm your host as always Dr.
0:07.2	Hazel Wallace, I'm a medical doctor, nutritionist, author and founder of the FoodMedic and it's so
0:13.2	very nice to be back speaking to you again. I can't really believe that we're back on season seven
0:19.6	already but I'm so grateful to those who have stuck around from the start and a very big welcome
0:24.0	to those who are joining us for the first time. Hello, welcome, come on in. So this episode
0:29.9	may have been my maybe my favorite episode ever. Not only is today's guest someone I really admire
0:37.7	and respect but I've learned so much from him through reading his books and even in the short
0:43.0	hour that we spoke when recording this episode I felt was invaluable to me in terms of the advice
0:48.7	he provided and the stories that he told. He's just full of energy, full of wisdom, share so many
0:54.5	tips and things to think about and I don't think we could have picked a better guest to help you

1:33.6	book Essentialism, the disciplined pursuit of less has sold more than a million copies worldwide.
1:40.4	So if you haven't read his books already, I absolutely recommend that you do that. But in the
1:45.4	meantime, what I'd further do here is Greg McEwan. Okay it's the start of a new year and I know
1:54.4	some people are looking to make some healthy changes, be that moving more, eating more greens or
1:59.3	taking up running. One switch I made last year was cutting down on alcohol and as a result I swapped
2:05.0	in kombucha as the perfect alternative. I used to brew my own and sometimes I still do but it's
2:10.7	a bit of a labor of love and so now I have the fridge stocked with remedy kombucha for times
