#78 Nutrition In, Nutrition Out - Amanda Ramirez, Eat Pluck
b'Amanda Ramirez holds down two inspiring and demanding roles that are a result of her commitment to better nutrition for the world. She is a personal chef running her own business, Made to Nourish, and is also community builder and social media director of Eat Pluck. Her personal business advocates recipes that offer great tasting and nutritious meals. Eat Pluck has created spices from meat organs that are incredibly rich in natural nutrients and have added vegetables that give meals a unique spicy taste. How did she get to be the nutrition guru? In the fashion industry at the time, Amanda had health issues that western medicine could not heal. So she turned to changing her diet to natural healing and in two short months she felt 100% better. She wanted to share her good fortune and knowledge with the world and started her personal chef business began in 2013. And luckily, some of the first people she met was James Barry, founder of Eat Pluck. She simply HAD to work with James and his company after hearing him speak. The parallel stories have worked well, as Amanda has now grown her team to three women chefs who specialize in creating recipes for people with auto-immune system problems, food allergies and those dealing with cancer. They want food as healing to be a message carried forward as an alternative to pharmaceutical medication. And it\\u2019s more that good tasting, good for you food. It\\u2019s a total mental health, physical health and spiritual growth program that comes with a new way of living and thinking for many. It\\u2019s mainly what Amanda calls elimination diet, a process of eliminating the foods that irritate the gut and lead to many common maladies.\\n\\n"Masoni and Marshall the meaningful Marketplace" with your hosts Sarah Masoni and Sarah Marshall\\n\\nWe record the "the Meaningful Marketplace" inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.\\n\\nAudio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon Beausoleil\\n\\nShow logo was designed by Anton Kimball of Kimball Design\\n\\nWebsite was designed by Cameron Grimes\\n\\nProduction assistant is Chelsea Lancaster\\n\\n10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimes'
