So Lee, the good news is we can eat our way out of this, can't we?
7:41
Yeah, we definitely can.
7:42
In my book Eat To Heal, um, it's, it's actually based around the Mediterranean-style diet because there's 70 years of really good research around that.
7:52
It's one of the best diets, I would say, for, um, inflammation and for overall health.
7:58
So i- I've got 60 recipes in the book, and they're all based on the Mediterranean approach.
8:03
I've also got a little, um, 4-3-2-1 plate, and what I love about that is it's really simple and easy.
8:10
So by 4-3-2-1, I mean 40%, you know, leafy greens and good veggies, 30% protein, 20% smart carbs, and 10% good fats.
9:26
Uh, with this, this type of a lifestyle and, and eating plan, how important is, is meditation in the process?

Lee, we look forward to hearing from you.
4:20
Thank you, Judge.
4:23
Lindsey Graham's approach to judicial nominations was simple.
4:28
Elections have consequences.
4:30
and a president's qualified nominees deserve confirmation.
4:35
Lindsay moored this view in Alexander Hamilton's Federalist 76, that the Senate should refuse a president's nominees only where there are special and strong reasons for the refusal, not because the Senate would have picked someone different.
4:52
Lindsay lived that principle when it was easy and he lived it when it was hard.

39:27
Lee, what about you?
5:10
Can you share some of your experience with this work between trauma and inflammation?
5:17
Yeah, sure.
5:18
So in the book Eat to Heal that I've written, it's basically primarily quite interesting because it's the link between not only trauma and inflammation, but also gut health.
5:28
You did mention your gut as well.
5:30
The link between those things and also your nervous system and your vagus nerve, which you probably know a lot about.
5:40
So I was looking into new research across all of those areas and I noticed in my clinic that people were coming into my clinic because I'm a clinical nutritionist and they would say, I'm really tired.
5:52
My hair's falling out like you did in the shower.

35 MINS LATER

41:23
So it's been really illuminating, I think, to me around food and also society's impact on how women should be and should look.
AmyHOST
2:52
Yeah.
2:53
No.
2:53
So previously I worked at the ABC in Sydney.
2:56
So I was working in the music department.
2:58
I was working with the Wiggles and Bananas in Pyjamas.
3:01
I was working in making their albums and videos and things like that.
3:05
So I worked in the kids' music department, which I really loved.

5 MINS LATER

AmyHOST
8:14
So in simple terms, what is the connection?
6:46
What was different about writing this? Like, how was your approach different?
6:51
Well, you know, the, the thing that I really loved about this book is that it was just the coming together of so many unique skills.
6:59
Um, you know, the [laughs] story about Andrew was funny, but, like, there's just so many different, like, perspectives that made this book good.
7:07
You know, the...
7:09
Before, I had, you know, done a couple iterations on the PowerShell Cookbook, and it was very much a, you know, one person's perspective, one person's insight, and, and what comes out is, is, uh, just all of that.
7:21
But, you know, getting to have the four of us together, coming with our different experiences, like this has been the kind of book that, that we've needed to put out for so long.
7:35
You know, there's so much of the stuff out there, uh, in the industry is about, like, how to attack stuff and how to break stuff, and I think those are really, really important skills to have as defenders to be able to understand, like, what are the attacks that you're going against.
10:55
Mm
11:26
What's the Senate going to miss now that Lindsey Graham's no longer there?
11:29
Well, I think the most important thing they're going to miss is exactly why John Thune was choking up there.
11:36
It's Lindsay's compassion, his ability to engage with humans, his humor, his true caring for the people around him, the people of the United States, and the policy that he delivers.
11:52
I think beyond that, they are going to miss the person who knows DC, who knows the Senate, who knows the House, who knows all the players, where the linchpins are, and how to move them.
12:07
And of course, he knows the policy too, but he was a master at understanding exactly where the linchpin was and how to move it.
14:49
It happens.
14:50
Right.
14:51
I understand, but I think the important thing to remember about Lindsey is he never forgot his job, which was to represent the people of South Carolina.
