0:11.5	Welcome to The Model Health Show.
0:12.8	This is fitness and nutrition expert Sean Stevenson and I'm so grateful for you tuning it
0:16.5	with me today. This is an incredibly important episode. We just got a new CDC report coming out.
0:22.1	As of this recording, last week denoting that 80 percent, approximately 80 percent of the folks
0:29.3	hospitalized with COVID-19 were either overweight or obese. This is a huge underlying susceptibility,
0:36.0	but the question is why? Why is this susceptibility existing when we have conditions like diabetes,
0:42.7	hypertension, obesity? What creates this susceptibility? And so I want to bring on the top person

1:22.9	but also what can speed our recovery? Should we happen to contract a viral infection from this
1:29.6	virus or many others that can have tragic or suppressive side effects for us? And it's important
1:36.8	to understand that the side effects experience from a viral infection, it's not the virus itself,
1:41.6	it's the human body's reaction to the virus. The symptoms of sickness come from our immune system.
1:47.9	So that's what's so overlooked in this process and having a healthy intelligent immune system
1:53.4	is of the utmost importance right now. This should be something we've talked about in the very
1:56.8	beginning. Matter of fact, we should have been talking about this prior to any of this even
