We are super excited to have a special guest who is passionate about fitness and nature. She works out six to seven days a week and is diving into jiu-jitsu and kickboxing, despite her busy schedule.

These activities help her find peace and a sense of unity with the world around her.What if you could transform your health and life simply by understanding the food you eat?
