My name is Brian Strickland. I'm the producer of the show, and I am joined as always in the studio today by our host, Mr. Ed Jones. On today's episode, we're talking once again with Dr. Kate Rheaume. Dr. Kate is a fantastic resource. And on today's episode, we're focusing on energy now, most of us probably feel pretty tired from time to time, some of us more than others. And that's exactly what we're going to talk about today. Our energy really affects us even down to a cellular level with our mitochondria. Our sleep affects our energy. And that's what we're focusing on today's conversation. We've got a ton of ground to cover on this episode, so I'm not going to hinder it any longer.

Dr. Kate lectures internationally on so many topics related to health and wellness, and is a frequent guest on many radio and television stations across North America and is the author of the best selling book, the vitamin K two and the calcium paradox how a little known vitamin can save your life.
