on today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast.

If you came with pain or like you said or high blood pressure and they,

you know, why do you have it? Why though? You know, if that injury was a long time ago,

why is it still continuing? Or why is your body responding with constricting blood vessels

and things are, your blood pressure is going up. Why is this

happening? And if you continue to ask those why questions, you'll, you'll never miss the answer

that you're looking for. You continue to advocate for yourself that way. Hello, welcome back

to another episode of the Real Foodology podcast. If you are new here,

my name is Courtney Swan. I am the creator behind Real Foodology, which started out as a simple

recipe and food blog back in 2011 when I was getting my master's in human health. And it has

since grown into my Instagram page. And of course, now this podcast.

I don't believe in diets. I believe in just getting back to eating real food. I think that is

prioritizing eating whole real foods in their natural state.

And of course, there's a lot of other things that we need to address in our modern lifestyles,
