0:00.0	People don't crave fat. They don't crave protein. There's zero evidence in humans to support
0:05.0	that. They crave carbs. And so that's what these medications can help with. You are tuned into the
0:10.8	Dr. Tina Show with Dr. Tina Moore. For more, visit Dr. Tina.com. On this episode of the Dr. Tina
0:17.6	show, I am so excited. I got to have Dr. Ben Bickman join us for this episode,
0:24.2	and I could not be happier. Dr. Bickman is an expert in metabolic health and insulin resistance.
0:30.8	He wrote the book, Why We Get Sick, Wonderful read if you haven't read it yet. He's a professor at
0:36.0	BYU, and the man knows his shit. And we, I missed him.
0:40.7	I missed my opportunity to have him on the show months ago when my Instagram got taken down and I was so

1:18.5	consuming the sewer of the sea, in my opinion. Quality really matters when it comes to your fish oil.
1:23.8	So when Peori reached out to me to try their omega-3 fish oil caps, I was in because I know that
1:29.3	they go above and beyond to ensure freshness, quality, and sustainability.
1:33.1	Each batch of every product is clean certified and third-party tested by the Clean Labeled Project
1:38.3	against more than 200 contaminants, including heavy metals, PCBs, dioxins, furoins, and other
1:43.4	pesticides.
1:48.8	Each batch is also IFOS certified with a 5 out of 5 score,
