0:16.0	Hello, this is Tina Muir.
0:18.8	I'd like to welcome you to another episode of the Runners Connect Run to the Top
0:22.4	podcast. Now my job at Ranners Connect we get a lot of
0:27.3	comments questions and concerns about various topics but by far the biggest topic that people want to know about is weight loss.
0:35.6	Our posts about losing weight are some of our most popular posts.

1:41.0	but he himself offers lots of knowledge snacks. I just made that
1:46.2	up, but it seemed to fit with what we're talking about here. So I know you're going to enjoy
1:50.9	this podcast, so let's talk more about who Dr Mark Kuizella is so we can get on with this interview. He is a professor and family medicine doctor at West Virginia University, was a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reserves, is the chief medical
