Description

260: My wellness bestie Illie is here and we are not holding back. Her brand, Live Healthillie, promotes clean living through everything from food, to skincare to supplements. Like me, she’s been super vocal about exposing the toxins that lurk in our food supply and pushing for change on a national scale. We yapped so hard that we needed to make the conversation into two parts. This was like therapy for me, and probably will be for you too. 


Topics Discussed:


“Big Wellness” compared to “Big Pharma”  


Misconceptions about the MAHA movement 


Beef tallow at Steak 'n Shake


Why eating clean is actually cheaper than people think 


Toxic additives in baby formula  


Why current food guidelines are so backwards
