| 0:14.8 | On today's episode, we are going to talk to someone who not only helps people overcome their |
| 0:19.3 | greatest and most debilitating obstacles, he's lived through some of his own. I'm joined today |
| 0:26.4 | by Eric Zimmer. Eric is a behavior coach and the host of the One You Feed Podcast, |
| 0:33.0 | which is one of my personal favorites and was also named one of the best health podcasts of all |
| 0:38.9 | time by The Huffington Post. I was actually honored to be on it not long ago. Eric's story is an |

| 2:08.0 | Atlanta, Georgia. We do that every month. My partner's mom has Alzheimer's and we take care of her. |
| 2:13.6 | There, so we were used to going back and forth during the pandemic, but it was very |
