0:00.0	The following podcast is a Dear Media production.
0:05.8	In a world of ever-changing wellness trends and information, what does it mean to truly be well?
0:12.1	I'm Ariel Lorry and I'm going to explore this with you.
0:16.0	I am bringing you candid conversations that will equip you with everything you need to live your best life
0:21.2	and look good doing it. Think of well as your go-to resource for all of the latest in wellness
0:26.1	and me as your internet bestie. Well, let's get into it. Hi, everybody, welcome to the show. So our
0:36.0	country's food system is all over the news right now. There is a lot of confusion
0:41.0	and I would say curiosity in regards to what actually goes into the food that we're eating.
0:46.7	What exactly are things like natural flavors and dyes and questions like why do we have
0:52.9	the worst food in hospitals? This is something that I've
0:55.6	always wondered myself. So I am talking to Ashley Nicholson. She is the founder of BTR Nation.
1:02.5	She studied biochemistry. So she has that background. And she has been immersed in the food
1:08.0	industry for a while now. And she is on the show to break it all down. And I thought
1:13.0	it was so fascinating to hear how distribution works and why that has such a role in the kind of
1:18.5	food that is in hospitals and how it works at major grocery stores and things like that. And we
1:23.8	also talk about what to look out for on food labels. We talk the worst ingredients
1:28.0	in foods and also why we have to have some balance when it comes to all of this. I really appreciate
1:33.2	that despite her position, she understands and practices a really realistic approach where
1:39.0	sometimes these things are just unavoidable and wellness doesn't have to be this completely unattainable thing.
1:45.8	So I loved her insights. I loved her energy and her passion for her mission, which is to
1:51.4	clean up the food and the snacking industry. And I know that you guys are going to love this
1:55.1	episode as well. Also, if you want to try BTR Nation, I love their bars so much. They have the best flavors. They have a high protein bar, which I actually ate before we started recording this episode. I never feel gross after eating them. They have super clean ingredients. They also have amazing chocolates. So if you want to check them out, she gave us a 25% discount. You can go to BTRNation.com
