Hello everyone. Welcome to the first episode of the Dr. Shannon show.

I'm Dr. Shannon. So if you are like what happened to hit body happy joints,

I'm going to explain what happened to fit Body Happy Joints?

I'm going to explain what happened to Fit Body Happy Joints.

I'm going to explain where we're going.

And then I want to use this episode

as the first kind of bonus episode that we're releasing. And we're going to talk about some different things.

Usually my podcast episodes are scripted, like I write them down, I research heavily and I basically

read from a script.

And that's so that I don't ramble too much.

And I'm making sure that I'm saying the correct things

because it's very important for me

to actually give evidence-based advice. These episodes are going to be a little different. So I want to not read from a script. I just want to talk to you all casually and I'm excited about kind of this little change.

So we are rebranding the podcast from the Fit Body Happy Joints podcast to the Dr. Shannon Show. And the reason we're doing that is because it's time for a

change. I have been doing this podcast since 2021 and we've been doing it the same way every week.

It started as me just recording the episodes in my closet and you know short episodes no fancy intro no ads and then we slowly kind of

developed the podcast we now have a production team hi Logan and we've got

fancier mics and equipment and things like that but we still kind of kept it

bare bones no intro no, nothing like that.
