0:00.0	Mark Sison, welcome to the podcast, been a big fan of yours, still am for many years now.
0:06.5	I want to start off with something on the topic of longevity specifically supplements.
0:11.5	Okay. You've been pretty vocal over the last couple years that you've almost altogether removed the majority of supplements out of your diet.
0:21.0	Yeah. Number one, I'm curious why why but first before we get to that I want to talk about one
