On this episode of the podcast, Michelle Parmita Voeller conducts and co-produces a fantastic audio interview with me. When this interview was recorded on April 15, 2020; there was a technical issue that came up on Zoom where for some reason, the recording conversion process from Zoom to my computer's hard drive could not be completed, so Michelle conducted/co-produced a second audio interview with me two days later where the recording conversion process from Zoom to my computer succeeded right away. But on the night of June 6, 2020, with the help of a couple websites I saw on the internet and thru watching a YouTube video; I was able to learn how to fix the problem with the Zoom recording conversion process involving the files from Michelle's original audio interview with me, complete the recording conversion process from the Zoom files of our interview to my computer, and then finally be able to share the interview here. During this audio interview, there are a whole bunch of topics that are brought up:

5. Michelle asks me about my interest in nutrition and I explain my thoughts on what I consider to be a healthy diet in terms of food without promoting a specific type of diet.
