0:00.0	All right, welcome back to the podcast. I am joined today with soon to be Dr. Rachel Lockard.
0:21.1	She is a fourth year medical student who has been working with a couple other medical
0:26.9	students on digging into this episode, which is exercise and mental health. This is an update.
0:36.1	So I wanted to look at articles that came out in 2022 and now 2023 because we've done a couple
0:44.8	episodes on exercise. And so welcome to the podcast. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me.
0:51.7	Yeah, so we connected on social media because you were, you had listened to the podcast on
