After investing in other people's ideas for years, I decided to invest in my own idea to change the world. It starts with empowering ourselves, armed with information, to transform our lives and live out our healthiest and best lives possible, from wherever we are. It is never too late. These small changes will ultimately change our food supply systems, so everyone has access to clean, unpolluted food.

High performance lifestyles, flexibility and openness to change, and an abundance mindset.

The global Covid-19 pandemic has upended our lives in so many ways, including how and what we eat. Through a thorough examination of our personal nutritional choices as well as our national food systems, we have been collectively presented with an opportunity - to enact global cultural, social, and economic change to help communities become more resilient and better equipped to overcome future public health crises.

I showed up to a huge party, at which I knew no one except the hostess, whom I had briefly met once. I had decided I wanted to make friends at this party. I did, with a wonderful woman who later invited me to my first TEDWomen conference. The rest is history.
