How do we inspire more people to get in the kitchen and make the whole foods that we all should be eating?
You cannot be healthy if you're eating out, even if you're only eating steaks. We all have to remember restaurants are businesses. They have bottom lines. They're trying to make a profit. And how they make a profit is they cut corners. You know, they use seed oils, they use different things. If your outcome is, I want to be healthier, then your. Your gateway into that is cooking from home. Even if you're someone who doesn't like it, you just gotta pick the thing you do like. So create the environment that does inspire you. So let's say you might hate cooking, but then you love classical music. We'll put classical music on while you're in the kitchen. Like, literally create the environment that even if it's outside of the kitchen, anything like that, that's gonna stimulate your inspiration, your creativity. Try to just focus on the basics we can get really tied into. It's gotta be perfect. Focus on animal protein and then fat. Just focus on a formula versus a recipe.
