Addison LaBonte

And I just love her story.

She had a brain tumor.

She's thankfully healthy now, but she really dug into her health and all these healthy ingredients and

holistic ways of healing and so I messaged her and said I'd love to partner with you on a protein cookie and use Taylor Duke's Wellness unflavored bone broth protein powder in that and she agreed and it's been a really fun partnership with them and that's what we use you can't taste the protein powder so that's incredible yeah I know um speaking of athletics you were a D1 athlete yourself and you had a pretty crazy story about how you got into all the health stuff from that right

Yeah.

So I went to the University of Maine, played college soccer there and was eating the standard American diet.

I look back and I cringe because it was McDonald's multiple times a week.

And I just was not taking care of myself.

But I thought I was fine because I was able to be a D1 athlete and could eat whatever I wanted.

So right after I graduated college, I had all of this competitive energy and all this extra time and thought, what's next?

So I started long distance running and I noticed that 20 to 30 minutes into every run, my feet and my legs would start to get like a tingly feeling, almost like your foot is falling asleep.

And then if I kept running, my legs would go completely numb.

Wow.

Which is crazy when you're running.

Right.

It's a very strange sensation.

It's not necessarily painful because you can't really feel anything.

Yeah.

But I just always thought, what if I misstep and I'm going onto a curb and I fall because I can't feel anything?

And so I went to a physical therapist.
