| 0:04.1 | Cummings and as always joined by Ben Bergeron every week here on the show. |
| 0:07.6 | He dedicates some time to exploring how we can live a life of better health and |
| 0:11.1 | increase fulfillment. We answer your questions about the five factors of health. |
| 0:14.6 | To have deep on living a life of excellence and explore the strategies and |
