The Truth About Health, Metals, and What’s Really Safe To Eat
266: After an intense struggle with depression, Karalynne Call began to explore the way that nutrition impacted mental health. This journey quite literally saved her life - by prioritizing real foods and regular exercise, she felt whole again. And along the way, she created one of my favorite clean food brands, Just Ingredients. Karalynne is known for her food swaps on social media, where she helps people all over the world identify the cleaner alternatives to unhealthy ultraprocessed pantry staples. She also is super serious about testing her own products to make sure every ingredient is up to her standards (which I love).
