So you learned to see the world in a whole view through these topics and debate. And so one year's topic happened to be healthcare when I was in high school. I never applied anything I learned to it to my own body, but then it suddenly came rushing back. And so I started to check out these big books on nutrition. And one of these early books that I read was called Conscious Eating.

And in there, he talked about how the majority of foods in the grocery store shelves are dead. And I was like, that's how I felt most of my life is dead.

Yeah, the whole center of the grocery store.

Yeah, the whole center of the grocery store.

So, you know, I continued working on in the corporate world. And I remember having this really terrible boss. And he was so bad that I started not being able to sleep at night. I started to get very fearful of, you know, just going to work. And it was becoming an issue. He was very aggressive. And in the way he acted, in the way he not only managed his employees, but treated me in general.

It was very misogynistic, if you will. And so I started to feel like kind of this this situation where I suddenly just stopped sleeping. So I went to the doctor and I just remember this moment because I sat in her, you know, she was my internist and I sat on the table and I told her, I was like, you know, I just can't sleep. I have a lot of stress at work.

And she just asked me like kind of what's happening. And she goes, oh, okay, this is what you need. You need Ambien, you need Xanax, and you need, starts with a C, it's an antidepressant. It starts with a C, I can't remember the name of it. And I said, wait a minute, like really? Like these, you want me to take these three drugs? And I was so trusting.

of my doctor and so trusting of the medical system that I took those drugs to get through that time period when she should have just been saying, hey, Vonnie, why don't you quit your job? You're 25 years old. Like, why don't you quit your job, right? Why don't you go look for another job? You don't need to take this mistreatment from this dude because you're making a big paycheck.

Like, go find another job, right? But this is kind of where I think the rubber meets the road for me when I was going through that period, because that's really where my... Symbalta? Symbalta. That's it. Thank you. I was like, it starts with a C. Symbalta, yeah. And... It was around that time where I said, I don't need to be on these drugs.
