Welcome to The Model Health Show. I've got a question for you. Are champions born or are they made? Are successful people just successful by birthright? Is it in their DNA to be successful? Or is it something more?

Is it a matter of the conditions that they've had to endure to figure things out? We've got this nature versus nurture conversation and there's no better person, I'm telling you, to provide us with the answer to this question than today's special guest. To say that greatness is in her DNA is an understatement, but you're gonna be shocked to find out how messy things were for her and how her life could have gone in a totally different direction. But those qualities that we might have within us, our gifts, our talents, our capacities are very often dormant until we have the right conditions for those things to manifest, for those things to develop. And so today's episode is not just about our success, it's about the success of our children. Today, you're going to have access to the mindset of a real champion, an undefeated, undisputed champion. And to hear the inner battle that even she had to endure, that she had to figure out, and what qualities, what insights we can take and add to our own lives when things get challenging, what we can tap into to help us to figure things out and to achieve our ultimate goals. What is the mindset that we can borrow, that we can have access to, when things get so difficult that we might want to give up? What is the mindset when that challenge is in front of you and it might feel like it's just you against the world? Now, you against the world could be true, but it can also be a perception. You're also going to discover the importance of our mentors, of our community, of our social circles in helping us to achieve true success.

And not only that, our special guest is going to reveal her age, which a lot of women don't even do that. Let's just keep it 100, all right? And you're probably going to be shocked because the vitality, because of the youthfulness that our special guest is expressing is just remarkable. And she's going to give us the tea. She's going to give us her secrets on the health side, on the beauty side. And it's pretty amazing. It's pretty simple as well. It's not as complex as you might think. But some of these things just like really hit me like, oh man, like that's something that I need to pay more attention to myself. And so we're going to cover so much. But again, at the core of this is keeping in mind the impact and the importance of helping our children to get access to this information.

Our children today, more than ever, are struggling with identity or struggling with developing certain character traits, struggling with even having the conditions to where these dormant capacities can even be expressed. And so being able to provide this information, not just for ourselves, but for the people that we care about is absolutely important.

Now, one really special thing that I had access to on multiple occasions is our special guest is an amazing chef. As a matter of fact, the cooking show Chopped, cooking competition show Chopped on the Food Network, our special guest won that show twice, twice.

And having the experience of being able to sit down and enjoy her food is something that not many people on this planet have had the ability to do. And I'm so grateful for that. And she's very, very adamant about food quality, the food sourcing, and also being intelligent about, especially when you got a family, that budget when it comes to food.
