ROUGH TRANSCRIPT OF THE EPISODE:

Hello, Health Investor!

As I announced in a previous episode, I’m gonna start doing “Q&A-style” episodes every so often, which I’m super excited about!

I must say—I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of questions I got on Instagram prior to this first Q&A. I won’t be able to answer ALL of your questions in this episode, BUT keep the questions coming! Cause I’ll definitely get to all of them eventually!!

To ask a question, just DM me on Instagram (@thehealthinvestment) or email me ([email protected]). If you follow me on Instagram already, you know I usually post one of those little “question stickers” before ANY episode—so keep an eye out for those!

But, never hesitate to reach out—even if I haven’t explicitly asked for your questions on the ‘gram. I’m alllllways here for you, and I read and reply to every single direct message and email I get! You’re NEVER a bother.

In today’s episode, I’m going to answer the following questions:

Which fast food places and choices are healthiest?

What’s the difference between salt WITH iodine and salt WITHOUT iodine? Which is best?

When it comes to the types of milk—2%, non-fat, whole, non-dairy—which are best for kids and adults?

And finally...what is my favorite “cheat” treat?

Quickly, before I start answering them, I want to share an Apple Podcast review with you.

KDMara gave The Health Investment podcast 5 stars and wrote:

Informative podcast with “doable” lifestyle hacks. Brooke is so knowledgeable and funny. Her style is light and positive, but that doesn’t take away from the accurate and science-based information she provides. She offers such good advice on how to easily transform your diet into the healthiest one it can be. She’s not into fads, but is grounded in the latest research. This is one to subscribe to and to recommend to your friends and family, especially those who haven’t made the switch to a “real foods” approach.

WOW, wow, wow. What a kind, thorough review. I’m so grateful to you, KDMara!

After releasing my 15th episode, The Health Investment Podcast had over 2,000 downloads—which is incredible!

You’ve helped to make that happen through reviews!! Apple Podcasts makes the highest-reviewed podcasts the most visible, so each and every review helps new listeners find my show...which means I can help more people optimize their health!

That’s my ultimate goal, so I REALLY appreciate you helping me make that happen!

Alright,
