0:00.0	Hello friends and welcome back to the Liz Moody podcast. I'm your host Liz Moody and I'm a
0:06.0	best-selling author and longtime journalist. This podcast is all about helping you live your
0:10.6	healthiest, happiest life. Whether we're asking dentists the newest and
0:14.0	best ways to care for our teeth, learning how to cultivate world-class
