And I was also thinking, too, looking at all my parents' friends and older generations, and a lot of them still hadn't figured it out. And I was so flabbergasted, for lack of a better word, because I was like, this is so simple, right? It's so simple. The things that we're eating and we're putting in our bodies are either fighting disease or fueling it, you know?

And so that really ignited a passion in me. And then I just could not get enough information. I found Michael Pollan back then when he was writing about food. I found Dr. Mark Hyman. I think I read one of his very first books. Love him. And he introduced me to this world of functional and integrative medicine, which is root cause, disease protocol.

Um, where you're looking at the root cause and you're looking for the root cause and trying to mitigate symptoms with diet and lifestyle changes. So that really affected me a lot. I was in school or sorry, I was actually touring at the time. Um, I finally decided on the music industry. Exactly. So I was with the music industry.

Um, I decided to quit that and I went back and I got my master's of science in nutrition and integrative health. Wow. And then actually during that time, I got pulled back on the road and I ended up being a nutritionist for four years for a pop star. Really? Yeah, which was pretty amazing.

And it was very cool because it was, you know, I got to kind of blend both of my favorite worlds, which was nutrition and then being on tour and getting to work for musicians, which was so much fun. But I did hit a point where, um, you know, we kind of talked about this on my podcast that it was really starting to, to really like tax my body.

Like I just was feeling the effects of not getting enough sleep and you know, it is harder to eat healthy. And so I finally in 2019 decided to no longer tour anymore. And I had been building real foodology on the side. And at the time it really was more just of a hobby. I really had no plan. I had no like goals or plans of turning this into anything.

other than it started with a passion where I felt like this was information that people largely didn't know. And I was seeing so many people suffer. And like you just said a minute ago, I wanna see people thrive. And so I started Real Foodology as a blog and I was just kind of Instagramming my touring life. And then in 2019, I was like, you know what? I'm gonna pursue this full time.
