Summary

Almost 10 years ago, Whitney Tingle and Danielle DuBoise were both at their own self-described rock bottoms. Tingle, beside herself dealing with persistent cystic acne. DuBoise, in the hospital after years of yo-yo dieting finally caught up with her. The solution to both of their #hurdlemoments? Founding Sakara Life—a wellness company rooted in the belief that food is medicine, favorited by A-listers like Kate Hudson and Chrissy Teigen, and known for its ready-to-eat plant-based food delivery service. In episode nine, the duo tells all including how mood relates to what you eat, which foods are necessary for a healthy gut, and what it’s really like building a multi-million dollar company with a best friend.

Fresh back from an unbelievable trip to Italy. BTW. I think I might be in slight fresh made pasta withdrawal. My name's Emily Abadi. My schick is that I am a

New York City. On today's episode, I sit down with Whitney Tingle and Danielle Dubois. I wish my

last name was Dubois.

No offense, that.

The founders of Sakara Life,

an organic, ready-to-eat meal delivery service that is like the it thing

A little note about what's going on with me.

0:52.6

I guess it's kind of relevant to what we talk about here on Hurtle.

I am running the Boston Marathon a week from today.

for you along the route. Quick thanks to the sponsor of today's episode, Ultra. If you're

1:23.9

looking to run injury-free and really, who isn't, then putting on a pair of Ultras could be exactly what you need. That's thanks to their zero-drop design, which means the forefoot and the heel are at the same height. This encourages a low-impact landing with a bent knee and a softer footstrike. Again, the brand is called Ultra. That's A-L-T-R-A. You can find them at
