1. Introduction to Grace Price and Her Health Conscious Upbringing (00:00 - 00:42)

Grace Price opens the conversation by reflecting on her health-conscious upbringing. Influenced by her fitness-oriented mother and scientifically-minded father, Grace developed a keen interest in biology during her high school years. Her father introduced her to Deep Nutrition by Dr. Kate Shanahan, which revolutionized her understanding of nutrition and its impact on genetic expression.

Grace Price [00:42]: “Our DNA is actually not the key determinant of all of these chronic diseases... 90 to 95% of cancers, for example, are caused by environmental or lifestyle factors.”

---

2. Challenging the Genetic Determinism in Chronic Diseases (00:30 - 04:19)

Grace challenges the prevalent belief that genetics are the primary cause of chronic diseases. Citing research accessible on platforms like PubMed, she argues that environmental and lifestyle factors account for the vast majority of conditions such as cancer.

Grace Price [01:50]: “Only leaves 5 to 10% for genetics. So why are we spending billions on gene therapies that are already very ineffective when we could be looking at data-driven therapies?”

Grace criticizes the heavy investment in gene therapies, advocating instead for personalized, data-driven approaches that focus on improving the body's overall terrain to combat diseases.

---

3. The Metabolic Basis of Cancer and Diet’s Role (02:08 - 04:59)

The discussion shifts to cancer, which Grace highlights as a primarily metabolic disease. She expresses frustration over the medical community's disregard for the role of diet, pointing out that cancer patients are often fed high-sugar, high-protein shakes that inadvertently support cancer growth.

Grace Price [02:44]: “Cancer is actually largely a metabolic disease. So sugar fuel feeds cancer growth... you're just willfully denying the connection between food and this disease.”

Sean echoes the concern about unhealthy food options in hospitals, emphasizing the irony of promoting health within medical facilities.

---

4. Rise of Metabolic Disorders and Gen Z’s Health Crisis (04:59 - 07:00)

Grace declares Generation Z as the "sickest generation of all time," attributing this to widespread metabolic dysfunctions like prediabetes and insulin resistance. She cites an 80% rise in early-onset cancer over the past three decades, linking it to poor dietary habits and disrupted gut microbiomes.

Grace Price [05:02]: “If we continue on our current trajectory with all of us being pre diabetic... we're going to struggle a lot with these cancers.”

Grace underscores the addictive nature of ultra-processed foods, driven by big food companies leveraging strategies similar to those once used by the tobacco industry.

---

5. The Role of Parents and Early Dietary Habits (09:48 - 10:49)

Addressing childhood obesity and dietary habits, Grace firmly places responsibility on parents for the nutritional choices of their children.

Grace Price [09:52]: “I always put 100% of the blame on parents... when you are under someone else's roof, you are entirely impacted by what those people are letting you put in your mouth.”

She controversially labels giving children fruit juice as child abuse due to its high sugar content, arguing that excessive sugar intake from a young age sets the stage for chronic health issues.

---

6. Maha Girls Movement and Empowering Gen Z (10:49 - 15:04)

Grace introduces the Maha Girls Movement, a platform aimed at educating and empowering young women to take control of their health. She emphasizes the importance of gradual dietary changes over restrictive dieting to combat addiction to ultra-processed foods.

Grace Price [14:55]: “Nori actually has a process that meets you where you're at... instead of ordering your burger with the bun, just remove the bun.”

Grace discusses her upcoming app Nori, designed to help individuals transition from fake to real foods through manageable steps, fostering long-term health improvements without the pitfalls of sudden dietary restrictions.

---

7. Critique of Modern Food Systems and Accessibility (17:00 - 19:27)

The conversation critiques the modern food system, highlighting the prevalence of high fructose corn syrup and its detrimental effects, likening its metabolic impact to alcohol.

Grace Price [17:39]: “High fructose corn syrup and fructose in general is actually an analog to things like alcohol... it increases the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.”

She calls for banning harmful additives and improving access to real, nutritious food, especially in food deserts. Grace praises retailers like Costco for offering healthier options but underscores the need for broader systemic changes.

---

8. Future Initiatives and Call to Action (19:27 - 21:44)

Looking ahead, Grace outlines her mission to expand the Maha Girls Movement, launch her app Nori, and address food accessibility issues. She advocates for community-driven solutions, such as establishing mini grocery stores in underserved areas to ensure everyone has access to nourishing foods.

Grace Price [21:00]: “You can find me on Instagram and TikTok and X as Grace Price... check out my documentary on X, which is Cancer: A Foodborne Illness.”

Grace encourages listeners to take ownership of their health, boycott harmful food products, and support initiatives that promote real, unprocessed foods.

Transcript

[Grace Price]

And it's hard to grasp because you do have to be thinking a little bit further ahead than just the moment. And most people, when you're hungry, you're like, I'm hungry. I want to eat. You shove food in your mouth, you move on. But it's like, no. Are you going to restrict what actual food you're going to eat, which is really fake food, or are you going to just restrict your lifespan because of the chronic diseases that these foods raise the risk for?

[Sean Kelly]

Okay, guys, we got Grace here from the Maha girls movement. Thanks for what you're doing. And I can't wait to see you grow in this space. You've been killing it though, so congrats.

[Grace Price]

Thank you. I appreciate it. I'm so excited to be here.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

Have you always been really health conscious, health aware growing up?

[Grace Price]

Yeah. I was so. I was lucky enough to have a mom who was like super fit when I was growing up and was always kind of pushing these things at me. And then my dad's really into science and one summer he just pushed this book towards me called Deep Nutrition by Dr. Kate Shanahan. And it completely blew my mind because I was super into biology. Like, that was my passion in high school. But this book basically said that our DNA is actually not the key determinant of all of these chronic diseases we get in life, which I thought was to be true. And it's an ideology that we all kind of believe, and it's almost become a dogma at this point. When in reality, what I found when I read this book and other research papers literally accessible online on PubMed, 90 to 95% of cancers, for example, are caused by environmental or lifestyle factors. That only leaves 5 to 10% for genetics. So why are we spending billions of dollars on gene therapies that are already very ineffective when we could actually be looking at these quote unquote alternative therapies that I really think we should just call data driven therapies because they're personalized. They look at your whole body and they say, how are we going to treat your terrain to best kill this beast?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

That's profound data because I remember growing up, like really fear over inheriting cancer genes, Alzheimer's gene.

[Grace Price]

I was the exact same.

[Sean Kelly]

Like, I took the 23 and me test.

[Grace Price]

Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

And I had some of those gene breaks and I was like, damn.

[Grace Price]

Exactly. No. And. And you're just told, okay, I guess, like, sucks to suck. And it's like, no, that's not true at all. You have so much more power than.

[Sean Kelly]

You realize, wow, so 90. That is.

[Grace Price]

Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

That is really insane.

[Unknown]

Right?

[Sean Kelly]

I mean, that shows the importance of diathon.

[Grace Price]

Yeah, no, totally. And food actually, I mean, is a huge. A huge portion of it. And that's why I decided to make my documentary Cancer a Foodborne Illness. Because a lot of people are like, well, obviously there's exercise and. Yes, that's true. There are so many other factors. But when you have such an important factor continually being missed whenever. I mean, you see that cancer patients, when they're in the hospital, they're given these high protein shakes that contain like 30 grams of sugar.

[Sean Kelly]

Wow.

[Grace Price]

And we know that cancer is actually largely a metabolic disease. So sugar fuel feeds cancer growth, and that means that the cells are rapidly dividing. And you're giving these cancer patients sugar because you're just willfully denying the connection between food and this disease.

[Sean Kelly]

There's soda vending machines in a lot of hospitals.

[Grace Price]

Yeah, just right there.

[Sean Kelly]

Candy.

[Grace Price]

Oh, yeah. It's. It's just so frustrating because these patients, we should be giving the highest quality food because they deserve that.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

What was the most shocking thing when you were making that cancer film that you discovered?

[Grace Price]

I think the most shocking was how we've absolutely ostracized people who have dedicated their lives to trying to figure out what's actually the root cause of these diseases. Because, look, I'm not trying to be anti doctor or anti holistic health. I feel like I'm really just trying to hear what's going to work. Because diseases are problems. We need to find a solution. And that means we should look at all the data. We shouldn't just listen to what's mainstream or what the most money goes behind. So Professor Thomas Seyfried, who's researched the metabolic origin of cancer versus. It's not the somatic mutation theory, which is what most people believe. So you just randomly get cancer because of a mutation or a genetic predisposition, and then your cells rapidly divide. It doesn't account for why, though, or how we can impact it. But if cancer is a metabolic disease, that basically just means it's energy dysfunction. We're abusing our body's ability to convert food, food to energy. So every time we have, I think it's 77 grams of added sugar is what the average American has per day.

[Sean Kelly]

Per day?

[Grace Price]

Yeah. We're recommended like less than 24 or 30 grams if you're a male, which is just terrifying. So we're abusing our mitochondria's ability to break down sugar. And then we wonder why we're so sick and we're literally causing our cells to have all these little fires around them that they can't put out on their own, and it's our own doing. So it's, it takes a lot to look at that and then see these people who have just been fighting for this message to come out. Because even though it's hard to take ownership over that, it's freeing as well, because it means that we actually might have a chance at fighting these diseases that most people can do nothing but just feel hopeless about.

[Unknown]

Right.

[Sean Kelly]

Is Gen Z the sickest generation of all time?

[Grace Price]

Yes, they are. But we also have an opportunity to be the healthiest if we can turn things around. Now, I do believe that if we continue on our current trajectory with all of us being pre diabetic or having some sort of form of metabolic dysfunction, whether it be insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome, I also think that we're going to struggle a lot with these cancers that we're seeing. I mean, early onset cancer rose by 80% in the past three decades. And a lot of that is colorectal cancer, actually, which has to do with our gut microbiome or breast cancer, which is strongly tied to sugar, if you look at the papers as well. And so if those are the cancers that are rising and we have these other metabolic diseases rising, it's all pointing towards what we're eating and we have to pay attention to that. But I mean, college students don't care about that even. I'm, I'm talking to people here and it's like hard to find people who really see that we're being poisoned. And it's not our fault that big food companies realize we're super profitable and have basically created an entire environment where we are targeted by their food constantly that is made to be classifiably addictive because big tobacco company scientists literally transferred over to some of the biggest food conglomerates back in the early 2000s, and then they exited before anyone could see. So it is actually addiction that we're dealing with here. And these chemical additives don't add any nutritional value. They are nutrient void. Yet when I go and testify in like the Texas state capitol, I get opposition from people who say that I'm actually taking away food from people in low income families who need this food, when in reality this food is actually the reason why they have to struggle with chronic diseases or obesity rates that are off the charts right now. But it's this broken idea.

[Sean Kelly]

All right, guys, Sean Kelly here, host of the Digital Social hour podcast.

[Unknown]

Just filmed 33amazing episodes at Student Action Summit.

[Sean Kelly]

Shout out to Code Health.

[Unknown]

You know, sponsor these episodes, but also I took them before filming each day.

[Sean Kelly]

Felt amazing.

[Unknown]

Just filmed 20 episodes straight and I'm not even tired, honestly. Much like this, where it's just based off, you know, the code, the codes.

[Sean Kelly]

That are in the saline solution.

[Unknown]

Code Health has been awesome.

[Grace Price]

Feel the drop and go code yourself. Yeah, of. No, you're helping them by letting them go and spend their money on these foods that they're addicted to. And I understand, because I was addicted to them, too. We all are. But that doesn't mean we should subsidize it through a program that has nutrition in the name.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

I grew up eating those pop Tarts like everyone else.

[Grace Price]

Yes.

[Sean Kelly]

All those cereals that are now, like, filled with glyphosate and sugar.

[Grace Price]

Eggos. That was like one of those. Yes. Lego my Eggo. Like, that was my brother's favorite thing. And I was obsessed when I was a kid, but as I was so happy, I mean, like, I always like to think about it this way. My friend Nick Norwitz, he's amazing.

[Sean Kelly]

He's starting on the show.

[Grace Price]

Oh, nice. He's been starting this metabolic health revolution that I like to think I'm a bit of a part of. But he said this in one YouTube video that really stuck with me, which is that we are restraining ourselves whenever we eat, no matter what. You're either restricting calories, you're restricting a certain type of food, or maybe it's ultra processed foods, or you're restricting your lifespan. And I just think that's such a powerful image, and it's hard to grasp because you do have to be thinking a little bit further ahead than just the moment. And most people, when you're hungry, you're like, I'm hungry. I want to eat. You shove food in your mouth and you move on. But it's like, no. Are you going to restrict what actual food you're going to eat, which is really fake food, or are you going to just restrict your lifespan because of the chronic diseases that these foods raise the risk for?

[Sean Kelly]

They'll end up paying more in the long run.

[Grace Price]

Totally.

[Sean Kelly]

With all the health issues, way more.

[Grace Price]

And what's crazy, too, is, like, I mean, even my friend Lexi Noel, she's right over here, she's shown that the foods in Costco, your local grocery store that most people go to, or even if you go to a gas station, if you get whole foods there, it can be less expensive than the ultra Processed foods. So even the whole dialogue of oh well, you know, eating whole foods and real foods isn't realistic because that's only for people who have a ton of money. That's not true.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Grace Price]

The hard part that we don't want to accept is that we truly are addicted. And we don't want to stop eating Cheetos. We don't want to stop eating donuts. We love these things so much. They give us dopamine, rises in our brain. And so we mistake that for energy when in reality we're causing our body's ability to create good energy to collapse in on itself. And over time it's going to break down. And that's when you get these chronic.

[Sean Kelly]

Holds you back for sure.

[Grace Price]

Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

When you see overweight kids, how much of the blame should be put on parents in that situation?

[Grace Price]

I always put 100% of the blame on parents.

[Sean Kelly]

100%?

[Grace Price]

Yes. Because. And the reason is, I think that when you are under someone else's roof, you are entirely impacted by what those people are letting you put in your mouth. So I actually one of my most viral threads on X, I wrote that it was child abuse to give your kid fruit juice. That was super controversial. And what I really meant by that is a lot of these fruit juices, like take your typical Tropicana orange juice, they have like 36 grams of sugar in just like a cup.

[Unknown]

Added too, right?

[Grace Price]

Yes. Added sugar. It's not natural sugar. And on top of that there's natural sugar as well. So it's, it's actually, it's terrifying how much sugar is in this. And there's research that shows the first meal you have of the day, if you spike your glucose, then so just high amount of sugar in your bloodstream, it actually impacts your energy the rest of the day. So you're setting up these kids to have zero focus and energy.

[Sean Kelly]

Wow.

[Grace Price]

So I'm like, why would you do that to your kids? And it seems fine because there's not enough information out there for parents. So I feel for them. But at the same time, parents have to take ownership of what goes into their kids bodies. But then once the kids are in college, it's up to them. And that's where like I come in. And I'm so excited about Maha girls because there's this in between age where, you know, you see all the Maha mom influencers and that's great. I'm like, yes, we need moms to take ownership like I was just talking about. But what about when you're that age where you're no longer under your parents roof, but you also want to be a mom in the future. So you're hoping you're fertile, you're hoping that you know what to eat so that you can be fit and healthy and you can hopefully find someone who you want to date. And like, like you actually need to feel your best then, and you need to be at your optimal health then because you're preparing for this future that you're going to have. And it's the focus is longevity. So it's like the best time possible to really get ahead in your health. And so that's why we created Maha Girls to reach out to all these college girls so that we can be like, he, like, here's what's real, here's what's not. Because I mean, you can't even trust our health organization to tell you that.

[Sean Kelly]

You'Re like the counter movement of freshman 15.

[Grace Price]

Yeah. Yes. No, it's so true. I love that you said that. Because I'm like, I want to have a shirt about that. Because we've normalized that or we've normalized girls having acne all the time. I have acne. And I have a terrible acne growing up. Yeah, no, it's terrible. I have it. And every time, like I would go to a dermatologist, they're like, go get on Accutane.

[Sean Kelly]

I was on that. I regret it.

[Grace Price]

Yeah, no. And I'm like, I mean, okay, I could do that, but is it gonna change? And I have friends who have done Accutane three times and it still isn't working. But then if you read studies, it's like, sugar is actually really closely tied to overproduction of sebum in your skin. And you're like, oh, well, there you go. Like, so it's just when we're getting such broken feedback from the people who we're supposed to trust, it means we really do have to take that next step, step of ownership over our health and come together. Because Gen Z isn't one person. Like, we're a huge group and if we actually like boycott some of these things, they would change. Like, I don't think my generation realizes the power that we have over these big food companies, but instead we've just kind of let them determine this stuff because we're so passive.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Grace Price]

Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

I regret Accutane. It worked on my acne, but I still have side effects to this day. My fingers go numb. Yeah, Like, I got nerve damage.

[Grace Price]

It's, it's real. What These medications do or like accessories every time someone's depressed. So then you just are numb to everything in your life.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Grace Price]

It's not a good way to live at all.

[Sean Kelly]

No, no, they never asked you about the. What's causing the issue also.

[Grace Price]

Yeah, yeah. What's the deal with that? Why do they never say like, hey, what you have for breakfast this morning? Hey, did you stay up till one in the morning?

[Sean Kelly]

Wouldn't make me if they are.

[Grace Price]

Yes, exactly. It's like these are, this is reality. We're not living in this make believe world.

[Unknown]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

That freshman 15 stuff needs to go. That shouldn't be a cool thing to. To do.

[Grace Price]

No, it's not cool at all. That pizza at 12am when you're studying should not be cool at all. But it is. It's like that's what we normalize, you know?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

What, what's next for you? What's the big mission this year?

[Grace Price]

I think the biggest mission is getting Mahogirls off the ground. It's launching my app Nori, which I have in test flight right now. Actually I'm gonna announce it whenever I'm on Alex Clark's panel. But I basically created Nori just because I wanted to have a way that could help people figure out what to actually remove and add to their plate in a stepwise process. Because what I can't stand is on social media it's so easy to think everyone's perfect and we know that's not true in reality, like everyone. I struggle with my health still. All my friends who are on Maha girls, we all still struggle, but the difference is trying to and trying to understand what's good and stuff. And so Nori actually has a process that meets you where you're at. So say you're like 80% ultra processed. That's what you eat and that's what most people are at. Like, I think 76% of our daily caloric intake comes from ultra processed foods.

[Unknown]

Wow.

[Grace Price]

Yeah. So if we have that much of our food intake coming from ultra.

[Unknown]

I hope you guys are enjoying the show. Please don't forget to like and subscribe. It helps the show a lot.

[Grace Price]

With the algorithm processed, then we actually need a process that's going to meet us there and give us easy steps so we can feel good but slowly adjust. You can't just suddenly go on a diet and hope that like that's going to work because it doesn't end up binge eating after. But if it's like, hey, next time you go to Peter's with your friends, which. How many times have you like been on your health spree? And then you go, your friend's like, hey, let's go to McDonald's or hey, let's like hit up one of our favorite fast food restaurants. And you're like, well, I'm not gonna say no because that's just weird. You don't want to be the weird person. But what you could do is instead of ordering your burger with the bun, just remove the bun. That's it. You've removed like a majority of the chemical additives.

[Sean Kelly]

That's what I do.

[Grace Price]

I ate that burger.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Grace Price]

No buns, no bun. But then you're still getting, I mean, you're getting meat. And then hopefully if they just do salt and pepper, like you can literally do that at McDonald's. And it's just meat, salt, pepper, if you just ask for it that way. So that's what Nori does. And eventually the goal is to take you from fake foods to real foods. Because I believe that we are supposed to eat food the way that God intended for us to the way that it occurs in the planet. It's. It's not supposed to be the way that we see it in the store.

[Sean Kelly]

I'm not a fan of the lab grown meat.

[Grace Price]

Me neither.

[Unknown]

Spooks me out.

[Grace Price]

No, no. Why, why on earth would we do that? It's like it, it's just one of those things where at a certain point too, and people get really mad at me because they're like, grace, you're not an expert. You're 19 years old. And I'm like, I agree. I get so wrong all the time. I'm not an expert. I never claim to be. Am I a 19 year old who likes to read though, who spends a lot of time on her computer trying to understand any other cause for these diseases than just what we're told by our doctors. Yes, because I don't believe in half assed answers. I think there are reasons for why we feel this way and I'm not going to stop at anything until I figure that out. And a lot of it does come down to common sense, which most people have access to. You don't need to be a certified dietitian to look at a lab grown meat or to look at a bag of Cheetos and compare that to chicken and say which one is real and naturally occurring. And it sounds stupid and silly, but that's seriously how far gone we are.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Grace Price]

And someone has to say it. I'll continue to preach about Sugar. Because people are like, everyone knows sugar is bad for you. Do you still eat it every day? Yes. So clearly it hasn't hit you how bad it is for you.

[Sean Kelly]

Do you think high fructose corn syrup should be banned?

[Grace Price]

I totally think it should. I think that there's been really riveting research on how high fructose corn syrup and fructose in general is actually an analog to things like alcohol. So when we look at non alcoholic fatty liver disease rates, which have actually risen a ton, and compare that to just fatty liver disease, when it's being broken down metabolically, it's actually essentially the same in our liver and increases the risk. So that's why without alcohol, we're like, why are all these kids now at risk at non alcoholic fatty liver disease? Which is a terrible disease to get diagnosed with? I mean, it's really hard to actually figure out whether you have it as well. And it kind of creeps up on you because you don't realize it, but if you have that, I mean, that's just so brutal. And high fructose corn syrup is in everything.

[Unknown]

Everything.

[Grace Price]

It shouldn't be in ketchup.

[Sean Kelly]

Yup. Even the buns.

[Grace Price]

Jelly buns. Yes. No, it's. It's insane.

[Sean Kelly]

Chips, like, literally everything. Like, I love going to the grocery stores and pulling out the Yuca app.

[Grace Price]

Yes.

[Sean Kelly]

And just scanning stuff.

[Grace Price]

Yuca's awesome.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Grace Price]

Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

Everything's super low. Even at Whole Foods, like, which is like one of the healthier grocery stores, I guess. But, like, if you go down some of those aisles, you'll just see 5 out of 100. 8 out of 100.

[Grace Price]

Crazy, right? Dude, Whole Foods drives me insane because I'm like, they make you pay so much, and then you check it and you're like, this is not more clean. Why am I paying premium for this?

[Sean Kelly]

Good marketing. Good branding.

[Grace Price]

It's good branding. Yeah. But if you go to, like, central market, H E B. Even Costco sometimes has more wide variety of brands that actually score higher.

[Sean Kelly]

Yeah. Costco stepping up lately with the health stuff.

[Grace Price]

Yes. No, they really are. And that I get really excited about that because I do feel very concerned about food deserts right now.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Grace Price]

And just making sure that people do have access to real food. Because we can continue to say, stop drinking soda as much as you want, but if they don't even have access to real food, you don't even know, like, what it is like to feel good. And I mean, everyone deserves access to food that nourishes them. And I mean, whether that means we start like mini grocery stores that are basically next to every single 7 11. I'm like, that would hopefully make it more accessible. It'd be cool if it was almost like an automated process where like people go in. It's just farmers bring their stuff.

The Trilite from Thera Sorge is no joke. Medical grade. Red and yellow near infrared light with three frequencies per light. Deep healing, real results and totally portable. It's legit photo biomodulation tech in a flexible on body panel. This is the Tri light from Therasolj and it's next level red light therapy. It's got 118 high powered polychromatic lights each delivering three healing frequencies, red and near infrared from 580 to 980 nanometers. It's sleek, portable and honestly I don't go anywhere without it.

And it sells out by the end of the day. And you never stock. Yep. But instead it's in a local store right next to the gas station. I'm like, yeah, why do we not have that?

[Sean Kelly]

There needs to be. So I'm in Vegas, which isn't a food desert, but like if I want to order from the Amish people, the shipping is like 200.

[Grace Price]

Wow.

[Sean Kelly]

So it kind of sucks. But yeah, the food desert stuff is no joke.

[Grace Price]

Yeah, no, it's, it's real and it's definitely something that I hope to work on in the future after doing my app and all of this awareness stuff with college students and getting college students involved.

[Unknown]

Yeah, I love it.

[Sean Kelly]

Well, where can people support you, find you and join the mission?

[Grace Price]

Yeah. So you can find me on Instagram and TikTok and X as Grace Price. I also highly Recommend following the mahogirls account on Instagram if you are just in your 20s or even if you're a high school student and you want to learn more about how you can take ownership over your health. And I would also recommend checking out my documentary on X, which is cancer, a foodborne illness. I made that in high school. And I think it's pretty informative on how we are being lied to as Americans about what truly these big food conglomerates and our most trusted health organizations want for us and our health.

[Sean Kelly]

I love it. Check her out guys. Thanks for coming on.

[Grace Price]

Thank you, Sean. Yeah.
