0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Wellness Lama podcast. I'm Katie from walnessmama.com and I am back today with Dana Cohen to talk about why diets don't work and how to properly feel yourself to improve your health using the cheat code of your blender. And I actually really enjoyed her new book on this because we all think of blenders and smoothies.
0:21.8	That's a pretty easy one.
0:23.3	But in this episode, she really talks about foundationally, first of all, why diets don't work.
0:28.9	We talk about the problems with our ultra-process diet in the United States and many parts of the world
0:34.3	and how the blender can help solve this problem, especially for moms.
0:39.6	And it goes in a lot of directions that you might not anticipate. And Dana has a wide-ranging
0:46.4	expertise in a lot of different areas. She's been deeply involved in integrative medicine for a long
0:51.1	time. And she really practices with an emphasis on the individual understanding.
0:55.4	I think this is important that no two patients are alike. And I think her results really speak
1:00.0	to that. Now she also really is doing a lot in educating and giving us foundational tools that we
1:05.3	can use to improve our health at home. And I especially like the focus in this episode on
1:10.1	nourishing versus depriving the body
1:12.8	and how to really make sure that we're giving the body the foundational things it needs,
1:16.9	both in macronutrients and micronutrients, and how the blender can help us do this much more
1:22.2	easily at times and especially can be great with kids. So let's join Dr. Cohen now and keep learning.
1:29.3	Dana, welcome back. It's such a pleasure to have you here again. Thank you so much again.
1:34.9	Well, I'm really excited for this episode. I have a feeling I'm going to learn a lot. And we
1:39.2	recently saw each other in person. And I got to hear a little bit about your new book called Fuel Up. And I love the
1:45.3	concept of this because we've talked before about hydration. And I feel like this one is sort of like
1:50.5	the food kind of corollary to understanding the importance of hydration. In that, a lot of people know
1:56.2	that the American diet is very high in ultra-processed food and low in micronutrients compared to
2:01.3	one of perhaps ideal human diet would be. But we also hear about how busy we all are, how food
