0:00.0	All of a sudden, it seems like AI is everywhere. Whether it's recommending your next series to binge
0:04.4	watch or finding fraudulent charges on your credit card, AI is here to stay. But it needs a lot of
0:09.7	speed and computing power to thrive, which means staying competitive requires an infrastructure
0:14.1	that can keep up, and one that won't see your cost spiraling out of control. Oracle Cloud
0:19.1	infrastructure is the solution with its fast,
0:21.9	hyper-secure platform that gives you everything from database management to application development

1:16.2	diabetes, and many people are maintaining higher visceral fat than what they should be. So I've spent
1:21.0	40 years helping people get healthy, and I can tell you that I think you should be fasting every day.
1:27.0	So tell me about that then, but also, isn't the game here just to not eat as much?
1:30.3	Well, here's the problem.
1:32.3	Dr. Alan Goldhammer is a pioneering physician.
1:34.3	Who has spent his life helping thousands of people reverse chronic disease, eliminate medication,
