On this episode, Brooke talks with Michaela, who shares her life journey from Sweden to the United States, detailing her passion for animals, her entrepreneurial spirit from a young age, and her transition into becoming a health and nutrition advocate. Growing up in a large family in Sweden, Michaela developed a knack for business early on, starting with breeding and selling small animals to finance her dream of owning a horse. She eventually built up a successful horse breeding business. However, after meeting her husband, she made a significant life change by moving to the United States, selling her business, and facing the challenges of moving to a new country. Transitioning from her early entrepreneurial ventures, Michaela later delved into health and nutrition, inspired by personal and family health challenges. She established a platform to educate others on the importance of nutrition and the body's ability to heal itself under the right circumstances, focusing on gut health, fatty acids, and reducing inflammation through diet. Her story is a testament to following one's curiosity and passion, despite the inevitable changes and sacrifices life demands.
