I actually find the absolute perfection of the house that the lady in the intro has, to be off-putting. It seems to be out of a magazine shoot… or that the lady has so much money that she has a lot of help to keep the house, and to have someone prepare the food for her - or at least the time to be able to do it without having to worry about rushing out to a job etc.
The interviewees on this show give a far better idea of the diversity and interests that are shown by their environments. :) Ie. They are totally real. And this channel has fantastic interviews.

Great interview. Difficult if not impossible to find plant based doctor especially since I've been on a wait list for family doctor via Health Ontario since September 2020. No doctors taking new patients in Ottawa. Dr. Nagra, where did you get your t-shirt? I googled but couldn't find this exact one.

Not that I don't like the introductory video but I have actually stopped watching because I thought 🤔 I've seen this video before. Love your interviews though.
