| 0:32.8 | Hello and welcome back to the FoodMedic podcast. I'm your host, as always, Dr. Hazel. One of my |
| 0:39.1 | favorite topics is how food and diet impacts our mental health and vice versa. So today, |
| 0:45.1 | we're taking a deep dive into that topic with one of the world's leading researchers in this |
| 0:50.6 | field. For this episode, I'm joined by Professor Felice Jaka, whose work I've been following |
| 0:56.2 | for a long time and often share her research in my content on social media and on the Food |

| 2:01.8 | breaking down your recovery, sleep and workouts via a non-invasive wearable device and companion app. |
| 2:08.8 | But it's probably also worth talking about what Woop doesn't do. It's not going to ding on your |
| 2:14.1 | wrist when you get a text. It's not going to call you an Uber. It doesn't |
| 2:18.2 | tell you the time. What it does track is every heartbeat throughout your day and break down all |
| 2:23.5 | your data for you so you understand everything you need to know about your body. As a medical doctor, |
| 2:29.1 | PT and nutritionist, this is the kind of data I love to geek out on. And over the years since wearing |
