Welcome to the Just Ingredients podcast. I'm Kar-Lyn, and here we dive deep into the journey of healing and wellness.

If you're ready to learn, feel empowered, and take charge of your health, you're in the right place.

Welcome back to the show. I am really excited for today's show because it is different than all of our other shows

because I get to announce something super exciting. The exciting news is that we have added the first

member to our science advisory board at Just Ingredients, and it is Dr. Ben Bickman. So thank you so much

for being here, but most importantly, thank you for joining our advisory board.

We are so lucky to have you. You are top research scientists. You are world renowned. You're amazing.

In fact, why don't you tell a little bit about your background? Sure. Well, it's not amazing,

but I'm thrilled to be here. I am a metabolic scientist, and nothing thrills a professor and scientist more than taking good ideas out of the lab and bringing them to life.

And then I was like, we need to bring you on Just Ingredients to help us out.

And so to tell you, listeners, he does a ton of research for us on the ingredients,

ingredients being combined together, the outcome, how the products will really perform.

So much research so that we make sure we bring you the best product out there.

I would just add how impressive it is, truly,

that just ingredients really does continue to be determined to just find the best stuff.

And that takes a lot of humility.

Maybe you're making up for not finding the best science advisors,

but you're making up for it by finding the best ingredients.

No, you're helping us make the best products out there. And so, in fact, I want to tell the listeners about some of our new products because they have some ingredients that are new that maybe some people don't know. And so, first of all, listeners, our new sports nutrition line, some of the products have ketones in them. And I learned this yesterday. We were doing an employee

training. Yeah. And there's over 100 employees. And I was asking, how many of you guys know
