0:00.0	Dr. Sean Baker, welcome to the podcast.
0:03.2	You know, I'm curious, if I brought you a handful of patients as a physician and I said,
0:09.6	okay, this individual is dealing with severe gut issues, this person's dealing with an autoimmune condition that they haven't been able to get to the root of and I said
