| 0:00.0 | Welcome to my mommy's podcast. |
| 0:04.0 | This episode is brought to you by Beam Minerals and you hear me talk a lot about minerals |
| 0:10.0 | because I find more and more both from guests on this podcast and from what I'm seeing in the research |
| 0:15.2 | that minerals are so important and that we are not able to get what we need only from food anymore. |
| 0:21.2 | And I love that I found this company called |
