| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Food Medic podcast on your host Dr. Hazel. |
| 0:08.2 | All right, this is the running episode. So many of you have messaged in to ask that we cover |
| 0:13.6 | running and I have the perfect guest to help me out with this. Emma Kirk Odenobi is a very good |
| 0:19.3 | friend of mine, but she knows more about running than many coaches I've spoken to, |
| 0:23.4 | due to her unique experience on background. So Emma's a footwear expert and graduated sports |
| 0:29.2 | scientist who has been in the running industry for over 15 years. Day to day, she coaches treadmill |

| 1:34.2 | cutting down on alcohol and as a result I swapped in kombucha as the perfect alternative. |
| 1:39.4 | I used to brew my own and sometimes I still do but it's a bit of a labour of love and so now I have |
| 1:45.2 | the fridge stocked with remedy kombucha for times when I fancy something a little bit more exciting |
| 1:51.1 | than still or sparkling water. My personal favourites are the ginger and lemon and apple crisp |
