0:00.0	Hello and welcome back to the Food Metapodcast on your host, Dr. Hazel. I am so excited about today's
0:08.0	episode because this topic was so highly requested and our guest today has so much experience in this
0:14.6	particular field. Today we are taking a deep dive into PCOS or polycystic ovary syndrome. As
0:21.8	someone who received a diagnosis of PCOS a few years ago, I know how confusing and how conflicting
0:28.6	information about nutrition and lifestyle can be when it comes to this condition. So I wanted to
0:34.9	record this episode to help give you some clarity. If you want to know more about this topic, we do

1:37.6	scientific advisory board but if you haven't heard of WOOP before let me quickly explain. WOOP
1:43.8	isn't just another fitness tracker. WOOP is constantly measuring important metrics and vital

1:56.2	The WOOP algorithms then process all of these inputs to provide you with personalized
2:01.6	recommendations and coaching feedback to help you accomplish your goals whatever they might be.
2:06.9	So if you're setting some goals whether it's preparing for your first half marathon or like me
2:11.8	trying to get more sleep, WOOP are here to help each and every member in their community
