0:06.6	On this episode of the Dr. Tina show, The Quick and Dirty, I'm going to be diving into the topic of how, while muscle may not fix everything, you literally cannot fix anything without it.
0:19.7	This is the non-negotiable. This is the hill I will die on.
0:23.7	And I have been preaching this message for well over a decade. It is more recently becoming
