Yeah, it was a journey for me to get there for sure. We had talked about this earlier off camera, but I started out working in music actually. My mom had really planted the seeds for me when I was a kid because she was buying organic and natural food before it was even a movement or a thing. And when I was a kid, like most kids, you don't realize how good you have it, right?

I was watching all my friends eating Dunkaroos and getting Burger King every night for dinner, and I was upset. And then I was going home to my amazing, organic, home-cooked meals that my mom would be in the kitchen almost for two hours every night making everything from scratch.

Yeah, I was like, I want the McDonald's. Like, I want a happy meal. And now, I mean, obviously, I am so beyond grateful. I went to college. I started eating fast food. And I don't even recognize who that person is anymore. But, you know, I was eating in the dining hall, which is, you know, Cisco and Shamrock Foods catering. And I gained a bunch of weight. I got acne I never had before.

I was fatigued. And it wasn't until I took a nutrition course. And also, my mom had sent me a book on nutrition. It was literally just called You Are What You Eat.

And because I was looking for answers. Right. But I was looking in all the wrong places. I was eating slim fast bars for breakfast and thinking that I was going to lose weight and like get healthy, which is so ironic. Right. And I found this book. It's called You Are What You Eat. And it really just it was talk about a light bulb moment for me. It made me really understand. Oh, wow.
