Hi and welcome to the Wellness Mama podcast.

I'm Katie from WellnessMama.com.

Just a quick thank you to the sponsor for today's podcast, Vital Protein's College and Supplements.

Vital proteins have pasture raised, grass that organic, collagen and gelatin products that are made from all natural high quality, sustainably sourced, pasture cows.

So these cows live on a grassland, they're not constrained, they're not given hormones or steroids or antibiotics and they eat their natural diet of grass.

They have lots of open space and sunshine and you can really tell in the quality of the gelatin and collagen products that they offer.

If you're interested in finding out about their gelatin, go to wellnessmama.com, forward slash go, forward slash gelatin and you can find out all about Vital Proteins there.

Also some random facts for your day.

Did you know that some store bought ranch dressings contain titanium dioxide, the same ingredient used in sunscreens and paints to make them more white and chalky?

And that's exactly what it's used for in ranch dressing.

Additionally, chocolate was once used as a currency. Maybe we should go back to that.

The oldest soup recipe is from 6000 BC and calls for hippopotamus and sparrow meats.

And lastly, castorium is used as a vanilla flavor in some processed baked goods.

And this is actually a secretion from the anal glands of beavers. Pretty disgusting.

So today's guest and I are going to be talking about real food and how to actually effectively make the transition to real organic foods.

My guest is Kelly. She's known as the kitchen cop online and she had a huge food transformation in 2004 after a long history with processed convenience food.

And she became a Western A price chapter leader and researched her way into a traditional real food diet.

She has an online class called real food for rookies where she helps people to make that jump more easily and has recently written a book by the same name, real food for rookies.

And she lives in Michigan with her husband of 27 years and her four kids, although her oldest is now in college and not living with them.

And I can't wait to be here to hear this conversation. Kelly and I are friends in real life and I had a great time chatting with her in this conversation.

So without further ado, Kelly, welcome. Thanks for being here.
