Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.
00:00:52.904 --> 00:01:01.904
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers the traditional route.
00:01:01.904 --> 00:01:09.153
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.
00:01:09.153 --> 00:01:12.926

Hey there, sunshine.
00:01:34.152 --> 00:01:36.298
Welcome to the podcast.
00:01:36.298 --> 00:01:37.983
I almost said welcome to hanging out with us.
00:01:37.983 --> 00:01:40.849
I really did, because we love doing this with you.
00:01:41.171 --> 00:01:41.893
They're synonymous.
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:43.245
Absolutely.
00:01:43.245 --> 00:01:47.444
Today we're discussing the natural way to lower cholesterol.
00:01:47.444 --> 00:01:52.207
Now maybe you're thinking I didn't even know there was a way to naturally lower cholesterol.
00:01:52.207 --> 00:01:59.337
Listen, there's probably a lot of things that you have never heard before, and I'm saying this in a loving way, because we've been there.
00:01:59.337 --> 00:02:01.021
We're healthcare professionals.
00:02:01.021 --> 00:02:08.752
Jared's a physician assistant who's gone back and gotten certified in lifestyle medicine to get his specialty to help you out with these things.
00:02:08.752 --> 00:02:26.301
I'm a nurse with my bachelor of science degree who's certified as an integrative nutrition health coach for the same reason, and we have created a free community where you can get your eyes open to so many of these things that you may be struggling with that you didn't even know there was an answer for.
00:02:26.824 --> 00:02:37.221
Maybe you're dealing with weight struggles right now and you're thinking am I ever going to be able to lose this weight in a way that I can actually sustain for the rest of my life?
00:02:37.221 --> 00:02:49.250
Listen, dieting, counting calories, stepping on the scale, eating tiny portions that aren't even fit for a bird, eating foods you don't like in the name of health that is hogwash.
00:02:49.250 --> 00:02:51.247
You do not have to live that way.
00:02:51.247 --> 00:03:09.918
We're here to help you set up and live in the way that you are going to absolutely love because it's quick, it's simple, the food tastes great and therefore you're setting up a lifestyle, not just no longer a diet, switching to a lifestyle, but you're switching from just oh, I'm going to try to set up a lifestyle.
00:03:09.918 --> 00:03:10.820
No, I don't need to diet.
00:03:10.820 --> 00:03:14.109
No, you're setting up a sustainable lifestyle.
00:03:14.109 --> 00:03:16.502
That's what makes us at Power and Plants different.
00:03:16.502 --> 00:03:18.645
We are here to help you learn.
00:03:18.645 --> 00:03:32.913
How do I make the way that is proven time and time again in research eating whole plant foods sustainable so that it is enjoyable and simple and quick, so that it's sustainable, so that I like it.
00:03:32.913 --> 00:03:34.963
I have found my plant based joy.
00:03:34.963 --> 00:03:38.633
You need the community to be able to support you to do that.
00:03:38.633 --> 00:03:40.866
We were not created to be an island.
00:03:40.866 --> 00:03:43.072
I know you've heard that before and it is so true.
00:03:43.072 --> 00:03:47.794
You were not created to have to live and walk out life on your own and listen.
00:03:47.794 --> 00:03:48.717
Sometimes it's hard.
00:03:48.717 --> 00:03:49.841
You feel like you're on your own.
00:03:49.841 --> 00:03:50.665
You don't know what to do.
00:03:50.665 --> 00:03:57.009
You've got these health struggles you're dealing with on a regular basis and you're thinking I don't even know that there's an answer.
00:03:57.009 --> 00:03:58.921
I just thought I'd have to take medications forever.
00:03:58.981 --> 00:04:14.066
Maybe you're struggling with type two diabetes, like some of our members have before that have reversed it completely, reversed it naturally, with us showing them what to do, walking them through this step by step and gaining the support they need.

It is the best thing you could ever do for yourself if you're trying to heal naturally from diseases like autoimmune diseases.
00:04:30.374 --> 00:04:32.841
We have a member who's just reversed Crohn's disease.
00:04:32.841 --> 00:04:35.809
We have another member who's reversed rheumatoid arthritis.
00:04:35.809 --> 00:04:38.581
These are not the rarity inside.
00:04:38.843 --> 00:04:41.045
Eating whole food, plant-based, the sustainable way.
00:04:41.045 --> 00:04:43.550
This is the normal for us.
00:04:43.550 --> 00:04:47.822
This is what we see time and again and it is so exciting.
00:04:47.822 --> 00:04:49.487
It lights us up.
00:04:49.487 --> 00:05:03.194
We want you to know the things that are possible to reverse naturally and how to do that, and one of the best ways to get started is get in the place where you're going to not only get the information but get the support that you need on this journey.

So come and join us right now inside podcast insiders experience at power on plantscom forward slash pie.
00:05:10.790 --> 00:05:14.144
That's power on plantscom forward slash P I E.
00:05:14.944 --> 00:05:18.130
So what is the natural way to reverse cholesterol?
00:05:18.130 --> 00:05:28.865
We are going to get to that, but, jared, and I feel like it's super important that you learn some things that you may not be hearing about from your health care provider, and that is what is cholesterol?
00:05:28.865 --> 00:05:30.029
Where does it come from?
00:05:30.029 --> 00:05:31.485
Why am I struggling with it?
00:05:31.485 --> 00:05:33.908
Maybe you think it's just your genes or your age.
00:05:33.908 --> 00:05:39.312
You know those are things we had come to believe about certain things we were dealing with and we just didn't know.
00:05:39.312 --> 00:05:41.966
But you know, you see it from your family side.
00:05:41.966 --> 00:05:50.343
You see, well, uncle Joe had to deal with it and Aunt Susie had to deal with it, and then my grandma had high cholesterol, and then my mother and my father both had it too.
00:05:50.343 --> 00:05:51.790
So obviously I'm going to have it right.
00:05:51.790 --> 00:05:57.649
Well, you know what else you probably shared with Uncle Joe, aunt Susie, your mom and dad and your grandma, your habits.
00:05:58.211 --> 00:05:58.853
Your habits.
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.526
What you do, what you eat, how you prepared those foods.
00:06:02.567 --> 00:06:08.264
The food that is on your fork, and JR brought up a great point there how you prepared the food.
00:06:08.264 --> 00:06:10.108
That's also super important.
00:06:10.108 --> 00:06:13.254
But what exactly is cholesterol?
00:06:14.259 --> 00:06:16.184
That is an excellent question.
00:06:16.184 --> 00:06:17.427
I thought you'd say that.
00:06:18.589 --> 00:06:20.273
I can always count on you to back me up.
00:06:20.420 --> 00:06:28.151
Yes, and that's something that I like to talk about with my patients Anytime the conversation goes into cholesterol, because we've seen the advertising.
00:06:28.151 --> 00:06:34.994
There are medications, many medications, different classes of medications that are targeting cholesterol.
00:06:34.994 --> 00:06:40.930
So we think cholesterol must be bad, but really it isn't Cholesterol what?
00:06:40.990 --> 00:06:41.471
Wait a minute.
00:06:41.471 --> 00:06:43.521
What Did you just say?
00:06:43.521 --> 00:06:44.940
Cholesterol isn't bad.
00:06:44.961 --> 00:06:47.422
Cholesterol itself is not bad.
00:06:47.422 --> 00:06:52.845
It's actually very necessary, and our bodies would be in a heap of trouble without it.
00:06:53.105 --> 00:06:58.187
Right, that's a big mindset shift for some of us because we think cholesterol equals bad and it's not.
00:06:58.187 --> 00:07:00.007
Your body actually needs it.
00:07:00.668 --> 00:07:03.168
Every cell in your body has cholesterol.
00:07:03.168 --> 00:07:05.850
Now there's several different major functions that it does.
00:07:05.850 --> 00:07:09.492
It actually is part of the membrane around all of our cells.
00:07:09.492 --> 00:07:25.379
It also forms the basis for a lot of our hormones, like testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, vitamin D yes, even vitamin D has a base structure of cholesterol.
00:07:25.379 --> 00:07:33.588
Now, they have different side chains and that's what gives them each their individuality and what function that they serve, but they're part of your hormones.
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:35.144
Yeah, that's really important.
00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:37.331
It's very important, it's super important.
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.226
Also, too, bile acids.
00:07:39.226 --> 00:07:41.908
These are things that our liver creates.
00:07:41.908 --> 00:07:46.927
We store them in our gallbladder and then we release them whenever we have fat in our meal.
00:07:46.927 --> 00:07:51.505
Now, not all fats are bad, because you have fats in things like avocado.
00:07:51.505 --> 00:07:57.492
I mean, even plants like lettuce has small amounts of fats within them, but you have to have these.
00:07:57.514 --> 00:07:59.565
I'm going to drop a little golden nugget here myself.
00:07:59.565 --> 00:08:09.985
So when you're cooking without oil this is why you can cook a lot of whole plant foods and you think, oh, I'm going to have to saute with oil and we show you how to cook without oil.
00:08:09.985 --> 00:08:11.050
Why can you do that?
00:08:11.050 --> 00:08:17.593
Because the things like the onions and the bell peppers, they're going to release their natural fats into the pan.
00:08:17.593 --> 00:08:19.286
You're not going to miss that oil.
00:08:19.286 --> 00:08:20.745
You're not going to miss it.
00:08:20.745 --> 00:08:25.809
You won't miss 120 mostly empty pressed out calories per tablespoon.
00:08:25.829 --> 00:08:33.698
Okay, and I'm not going to even talk about how that can inflame you and how it was keeping me stuck.
00:08:33.698 --> 00:08:38.028
Okay, maybe I am, so it really was a key for me.
00:08:38.028 --> 00:08:41.201
That was really a key for me is getting rid of those added oils.
00:08:41.523 --> 00:08:46.092
Oh my goodness, I mean I was in so much pain daily in my joints and my elbows and my shoulders.
00:08:46.092 --> 00:08:54.929
I used to just have tears running down my face in the shower because it hurt so much just to wash my hair and I was sitting there thinking people don't even understand.
00:08:54.929 --> 00:08:59.196
I mean, they're able to regularly wash their hair and not even think about it.
00:08:59.216 --> 00:09:00.019
Not even think twice.
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.047
And I'm hurting so badly.
00:09:02.047 --> 00:09:10.808
Just my arms, my shoulders trying to push on my scalp, just that little bit of pressure to wash my hair and a lot of that inflammation that I had came from the oil.
00:09:10.808 --> 00:09:13.870
Yes, the animal products also played a huge part in it.
00:09:13.870 --> 00:09:18.580
Okay, I know I trailed this a little bit off topic there, but I like to share these practical tips with you.
00:09:18.620 --> 00:09:21.370
I want you to understand all plant foods and share our experience with you.
00:09:21.549 --> 00:09:26.693
Yeah, it's like Jared said all plant foods have fats and we need these bile acids to help to deal with that.
00:09:26.994 --> 00:09:32.457
They help to break them down into small particles that we can absorb, but that also includes the fat-soluble vitamins.
00:09:32.457 --> 00:09:34.482
So, again, these are very important things.
00:09:34.943 --> 00:09:37.570
Also too your liver makes cholesterol.
00:09:37.570 --> 00:09:45.041
Pretty much most of the cells in your body make cholesterol, and even something that I learned after PA school make cholesterol.
00:09:45.041 --> 00:09:48.013
And even something that I learned after PA school that cholesterol is an important nutrient for our nerve cells.
00:09:48.013 --> 00:09:54.633
In our brain, the cells that support our nerves actually make cholesterol for the nerve cells.
00:09:54.633 --> 00:10:01.052
So all this to say is that it's an important nutrient within the body, but we see it demonized.
00:10:01.052 --> 00:10:01.894
And why is that?
00:10:01.894 --> 00:10:03.594
Because we have too much.
00:10:03.594 --> 00:10:07.366
I mean too much of a good thing is still too much.
00:10:07.366 --> 00:10:08.229
It's not a good thing.
00:10:08.288 --> 00:10:08.909
And it becomes a problem.
00:10:08.909 --> 00:10:10.474
Too much of a good thing is not a good thing.
00:10:10.821 --> 00:10:19.871
It becomes a problem, and then now we have to have a solution for the problem, and that solution, regretfully, has become medications in too many instances.
00:10:19.871 --> 00:10:27.446
We're not against medication, but there are many times when we may not need it, whenever there are other things like lifestyle choices.
00:10:27.446 --> 00:10:33.970
We know that 80 to 85% of what we typically see in a regular practice is lifestyle choice related.
00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:48.167
And look, I'm just gonna address the elephant in the room If you knew there were things you could do, that would naturally lower your cholesterol and you wouldn't have to take medications, wouldn't have to deal with the side effects, the pain, the things that a lot of people have with that, how would that change things for you?
00:10:48.167 --> 00:10:55.004
How would your life be different?
00:10:55.004 --> 00:10:58.034
And that's what you've got to look at is how is what you're doing affecting your life and how is what you don't know affecting you?
00:10:58.034 --> 00:11:05.013
And we bring these things to you because we feel that it's super important for you to understand them so that you have the power back.
00:11:05.013 --> 00:11:10.381
You don't have to just sit down in an office and have somebody tell you what you have to do.
00:11:10.381 --> 00:11:11.485
You can understand.
00:11:11.485 --> 00:11:12.726
There is another way.
00:11:12.726 --> 00:11:20.971
We have clients, even podcast listeners, who have just come to us and said look, my doctor said my cholesterol is this high.
00:11:20.971 --> 00:11:26.842
They told me to just take a pill and they thought you know, I think Janina might have something that I could try.
00:11:26.842 --> 00:11:28.106
First Might be on to something.
00:11:28.126 --> 00:11:32.885
And they just told the doctors you know what, I'm going to try this first and they made that decision.
00:11:32.885 --> 00:11:43.850
They took the power back in their health Because a doctor, a health care provider like Jared and I, we are meant to come alongside you to assist you in your care.
00:11:43.850 --> 00:11:46.048
We're not the be all, end all.
00:11:46.048 --> 00:11:53.169
We're not to be the ones who decide, who make the ultimate decision, but yet a lot of times in our society, our power is handed over.
00:11:53.169 --> 00:12:07.722
It's like the great white coat comes in or the great stethoscope comes in and all of a sudden we just bow down and we're like whatever you say and really you need to be informed for your own health, because if you don't do this for yourself, who's going to?
00:12:07.722 --> 00:12:14.048
And that's in every area of life, no matter what you're struggling with in your health, become informed, find out.
00:12:14.048 --> 00:12:17.373
Is there something natural that I could do that would help?
00:12:17.373 --> 00:12:18.793
We're not saying come off your meds.
00:12:18.793 --> 00:12:20.274
If you're on meds, absolutely not.
00:12:20.316 --> 00:12:21.616
We're not saying ignore providers.
00:12:21.616 --> 00:12:25.905
No, but we're saying that you make the decision Because it is your health.
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.711
It is your health, this is your body and it's ultimately the most important thing is your future.
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.424
And, as health care providers, we're consultants.
00:12:33.424 --> 00:12:44.298
We have to give you information, the best information that we know, and I believe that most providers are well intentioned, but many of them are not taught these things.
00:12:44.298 --> 00:12:52.274
Absolutely we're seeing people that are medical providers that are coming and saying, hey, I want to learn more about plant-based because I was not taught this.
00:12:52.315 --> 00:12:54.803
We love that because we were in the same exact place.
00:12:54.803 --> 00:12:56.248
We get it gives me goosebumps.
00:12:56.307 --> 00:13:00.405
I love seeing that because this really is going to be a grassroots movement.
00:13:00.405 --> 00:13:03.552
Likely we won't see as much movement from the top down.
00:13:03.552 --> 00:13:10.753
As far as spreading the word, it will be from provider to provider, patient to patient, provider to patient family member.
00:13:10.753 --> 00:13:12.844
Yes, and I love seeing that.
00:13:13.626 --> 00:13:20.572
It's incredible and, honestly, when you learn these things, how is God going to use it to help other people as well, too?
00:13:20.572 --> 00:13:21.494
We love seeing that.
00:13:21.580 --> 00:13:26.741
I mean we have people in our groups, even inside our free group, inside Pi, that have shared this with their family.
00:13:26.741 --> 00:13:33.059
Their family kind of thought well, that's kind of different, and they maybe weren't even accepting of it at first, some of them.
00:13:33.059 --> 00:13:40.028
But yet at the same time, when they hit a wall in their health, guess who they came to and guess who now is getting results.
00:13:40.028 --> 00:13:42.034
Guess who now is getting free.
00:13:42.034 --> 00:13:47.947
Praise God, you know you have the opportunity, when you learn, to share the things that you learn.
00:13:47.947 --> 00:14:01.812
And with cholesterol, one of the things you've just learned is it is natural, it is normal, and the ultimate outcome of you having excess cholesterol doesn't always have to do with your genes or your age.
00:14:01.812 --> 00:14:05.240
A lot of times it is lifestyle related.
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:06.462
How do we know that?
00:14:06.462 --> 00:14:19.052
A lot of times it's lifestyle-related Because when people change their lifestyle, the numbers come down, even when they're not taking medications, and most times way more than what the medications themselves would have brought their numbers down.
00:14:19.052 --> 00:14:23.904
So if your body needs cholesterol, don't you need to eat some?
00:14:24.586 --> 00:14:25.988
Another excellent question.
00:14:25.988 --> 00:14:26.688
Another excellent question.
00:14:26.688 --> 00:14:40.523
You in fact do not, because your body makes all that it needs, so any that you get from any dietary sources would be extra.
00:14:40.523 --> 00:14:40.883
Now wait a minute.
00:14:40.883 --> 00:14:41.625
What are the dietary sources?
00:14:41.625 --> 00:14:43.607
Only animals make cholesterol.
00:14:43.607 --> 00:14:51.230
So animal products like beef, chicken, fish, anything that is muscle that is living, it's making cholesterol.
00:14:51.700 --> 00:14:56.292
And not only that, other animal products, like eggs, are filled with it.
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:05.674
Actually eggs are the highest source of cholesterol when you look at just per volume, which makes sense because it's got to make a whole baby bird from whatever is in that cell.
00:15:05.674 --> 00:15:09.124
So it needs to have a lot of cholesterol because it's making a ton of cells.
00:15:09.124 --> 00:15:14.528
Every cell in its membrane has cholesterol as a component of that membrane, so it must have a lot.
00:15:14.528 --> 00:15:17.633
So for people to say oh, you can eat a few eggs a day.
00:15:17.633 --> 00:15:20.936
Oh, it's just a little cholesterol Like no, there's a ton of cholesterol in that.
00:15:24.961 --> 00:15:27.044
And again it makes sense because of what it needs to do.
00:15:27.044 --> 00:15:29.428
And then you've got dairy.
00:15:29.428 --> 00:15:32.153
You've got milk, yogurt, cheese, now with dairy, what does dairy?
00:15:32.193 --> 00:15:32.333
do.
00:15:32.333 --> 00:15:46.923
It feeds a baby cow, so it's growing, its nerves are developing all of that, so it's going to need that from the mother until it starts weaning off of that eating grass, gets to the point where it can make all the stuff that it needs itself.
00:15:47.364 --> 00:15:53.596
But the terrible thing is, the marketing has convinced us that we need these foods for our health.
00:15:53.596 --> 00:15:54.999
Marketing.
00:15:55.620 --> 00:15:55.799
Yes.
00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:58.908
So then we used to when we grew up.
00:15:58.908 --> 00:15:59.630
What do we hear?
00:15:59.630 --> 00:16:00.865
What do we hear about milk?
00:16:02.020 --> 00:16:03.004
It does a body good.
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:04.364
Do you hear that anymore?
00:16:04.846 --> 00:16:05.427
You do not.
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:07.125
Why don't you hear that anymore?
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:09.905
Because they got sued.
00:16:09.905 --> 00:16:15.688
The dairy industry got sued because they could not prove that it was a quote unquote health food.
00:16:15.688 --> 00:16:22.668
It's not a health food Right, so they had to change their marketing to got milk.
00:16:22.668 --> 00:16:24.692
They don't make any health claims.
00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:25.902
They can't, but it sounds clever.
00:16:25.902 --> 00:16:27.687
I mean, it sounds good, hey got milk.
00:16:27.687 --> 00:16:36.128
So they cannot make health claims, they cannot tell you that milk or dairy products are healthy, so they have to ask you if you've got milk.
00:16:36.349 --> 00:16:36.610
Beef.
00:16:36.610 --> 00:16:38.465
It's what's for dinner.
00:16:39.380 --> 00:16:42.009
Again, no health claims, no health claims.
00:16:42.009 --> 00:16:42.409
Why not?
00:16:42.409 --> 00:16:44.062
Because they're not allowed to make health claims?
00:16:44.062 --> 00:16:44.702
Why is that?
00:16:44.702 --> 00:16:47.386
Because it's not healthy?
00:16:47.386 --> 00:16:50.072
Ok, I want you to think about this for a minute.
00:16:50.072 --> 00:16:52.315
Why are they not allowed to do these things anymore?
00:16:52.315 --> 00:16:59.711
This is important for us to ask these questions, but the advertising has been there to convince us that we need these foods.
00:16:59.711 --> 00:17:02.446
And then the marketing ideas.
00:17:02.446 --> 00:17:06.509
It's not just in their slogans, it's where are you going to get your protein?
00:17:06.509 --> 00:17:08.067
All the questions that they throw out there.
00:17:08.180 --> 00:17:10.727
You need protein protein protein, protein, protein protein bars, protein shakes.
00:17:10.727 --> 00:17:17.328
If you're on, if you're vegan, you got to have extra protein, but all plant foods have protein.
00:17:17.328 --> 00:17:22.633
Okay, so let's talk about I want to go back to, because we're not going to sidetrack on protein here.
00:17:22.633 --> 00:17:26.385
We could do that, but we have episodes on that and we'll be talking about it more in the future, never fear.
00:17:26.385 --> 00:17:31.144
And if you, if you want to know about it, get inside Podcast Insider's Experience, we can talk about it.
00:17:31.144 --> 00:17:32.188
Ask your questions there.
00:17:32.188 --> 00:17:41.095
Okay, but right now I want to get back to the fact of cholesterol being in all these animal products.
00:17:41.095 --> 00:17:45.685
Meat, dairy eggs, animal products all have cholesterol.
00:17:45.685 --> 00:17:59.423
So when you eat the cholesterol in these products and your body already makes cholesterol plenty, all that it needs, then what is going to happen to your cholesterol levels?
00:17:59.965 --> 00:18:00.929
Was that a question for me?
00:00:00.580 --> 00:00:04.551
00:00:04.551 --> 00:00:06.626
00:00:06.626 --> 00:00:13.762
00:00:13.762 --> 00:00:18.986
00:00:18.986 --> 00:00:21.248
00:00:22.059 --> 00:00:25.053
00:00:25.053 --> 00:00:30.373
00:00:30.373 --> 00:00:35.747
00:00:35.747 --> 00:00:42.075
00:00:42.075 --> 00:00:52.884
00:00:52.904 --> 00:01:01.904
00:01:01.904 --> 00:01:09.153
00:01:09.153 --> 00:01:12.926
00:01:12.926 --> 00:01:14.510
00:01:14.510 --> 00:01:26.322
00:01:26.322 --> 00:01:31.603
00:01:31.603 --> 00:01:34.152
00:01:34.152 --> 00:01:36.298
00:01:36.298 --> 00:01:37.983
00:01:37.983 --> 00:01:40.849
00:01:41.171 --> 00:01:41.893
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:43.245
00:01:43.245 --> 00:01:47.444
00:01:47.444 --> 00:01:52.207
00:01:52.207 --> 00:01:59.337
00:01:59.337 --> 00:02:01.021
00:02:01.021 --> 00:02:08.752
00:02:08.752 --> 00:02:26.301
00:02:26.824 --> 00:02:37.221
00:02:37.221 --> 00:02:49.250
00:02:49.250 --> 00:02:51.247
00:02:51.247 --> 00:03:09.918
00:03:09.918 --> 00:03:10.820
00:03:10.820 --> 00:03:14.109
00:03:14.109 --> 00:03:16.502
00:03:16.502 --> 00:03:18.645
00:03:18.645 --> 00:03:32.913
00:03:32.913 --> 00:03:34.963
00:03:34.963 --> 00:03:38.633
00:03:38.633 --> 00:03:40.866
00:03:40.866 --> 00:03:43.072
00:03:43.072 --> 00:03:47.794
00:03:47.794 --> 00:03:48.717
00:03:48.717 --> 00:03:49.841
00:03:49.841 --> 00:03:50.665
00:03:50.665 --> 00:03:57.009
00:03:57.009 --> 00:03:58.921
00:03:58.981 --> 00:04:14.066
00:04:14.066 --> 00:04:19.521
00:04:19.521 --> 00:04:21.605
00:04:21.605 --> 00:04:30.374
00:04:30.374 --> 00:04:32.841
00:04:32.841 --> 00:04:35.809
00:04:35.809 --> 00:04:38.581
00:04:38.843 --> 00:04:41.045
00:04:41.045 --> 00:04:43.550
00:04:43.550 --> 00:04:47.822
00:04:47.822 --> 00:04:49.487
00:04:49.487 --> 00:05:03.194
00:05:03.194 --> 00:05:10.790
00:05:10.790 --> 00:05:14.144
00:05:14.944 --> 00:05:18.130
00:05:18.130 --> 00:05:28.865
00:05:28.865 --> 00:05:30.029
00:05:30.029 --> 00:05:31.485
00:05:31.485 --> 00:05:33.908
00:05:33.908 --> 00:05:39.312
00:05:39.312 --> 00:05:41.966
00:05:41.966 --> 00:05:50.343
00:05:50.343 --> 00:05:51.790
00:05:51.790 --> 00:05:57.649
00:05:58.211 --> 00:05:58.853
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.526
00:06:02.567 --> 00:06:08.264
00:06:08.264 --> 00:06:10.108
00:06:10.108 --> 00:06:13.254

00:06:47.422 --> 00:06:52.845
