Hi, Ella. Great to be here.

Hey, could you tell everybody who you are and what you do?

I am a naturopathic doctor who specializes in helping busy moms and dads over 40, get back in great health, age well, and create healthy cultures for their families.

And specifically, I run two companies, the Fit Mother Project and the Fit Father Project,

and collectively would help millions of families around the world through our health programs.

And quickly, my backstory is I didn't plan on being a doctor when I was growing up.

It kind of came through a bit of personal tragedy.

I watched my own dad work himself to the bone,

and he died from cancer when he was 42 years old. So I was nine when that happened. And as you can imagine, it totally rocked my world. But it also kind of like was a light bulb moment for me where I realized at a young age, like how foundational our health is. And also as parents, when we're like trying to do all the juggling all the things with life health can get on the back burner and when

that happens, like ultimately, bad stuff can happen. And my dad missed out on so much. So it inspired me to study help and fitness. And when I was in naturopathic medical school, I saw so many people just like my dad, who were busy parents that couldn't find a routine to kind of make it all sustainable. So I wanted to help people find a way to live healthy. And I created my programs. And here we are. I think that's incredible because I think that a lot of people who are really focused on longevity, they tend to be older. But you've been called to this mission since you were young. What decade are you in now? If you don't mind my asking me. Yeah, I'm in my third decade of life. And it's been like a, I mean, I've been doing this for over two decades now. And a lot of experience. First in like fitness and I was a competitive bodybuilder and then through medical school and now coaching so many people. And it's funny, you know, being in my third decade, although I'm not yet in my 40s or 50s,

I've been through a tremendous amount of my body. I mean, over 10 different surgeries,

serious accidents. And it's taught me a lot about how to tend to an aging body and how to

regenerate, how to heal, and what's really important when it comes to longevity.
