On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast, you know, we moved to Boulder 21 years ago

and had four children and it was my fourth child that had this allergic reaction.

And it just made no sense to me because I was like, why are all these children allergic?

And the way the data had changed so quickly made no sense.

And I thought, you know, genetics don't change this quickly.

This isn't necessarily generational things. So what's going on in the environment and, you know, ultimately don't change this quickly. This isn't necessarily generational things.

So what's going on in the environment?

And, you know, ultimately landed on this question

that was game changing and is, you know, are we allergic to food

or what's been done to it?

Hey, welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology Podcast.

I'm your host, Courtney Swan, and I am so happy that you're here.

Today's episode is particularly special to me. This woman is someone whose career I have followed

for about 10 years now, and she's one of my idols. She gave a TED Talk back in 2011, so 10 years ago now, and what she said

really opened my eyes and lit a fire under my ass. Her work has really shaped my career and my

passion and my drive in all that I do in the last 10 years because she has really revealed a lot

about what is going on

and what's happening in our food industry today. Her name is Robin O'Brien. You may recognize

her from the TED talk that she gave 10 years ago. If you have not seen this TED talk yet, I'm linking

in the show notes. I highly recommend watching it. It is so amazing. And it really does open your eyes to what is going on with our food right now.

She is the co-founder of Replant Capital with a 20-year career in food and finance.

Robin has been called the Foods Aaron Brockovich by the New York Times and Bloomberg.
