Healing through food with Danielle Walker of Against All Grain (2022)

Hey, it's Guy here, and I'm super excited to tell you about something new that we're gonna be rolling out on how I built this lab. Starting next week, we're gonna be inviting some of our past guests back onto the show to answer your calls about the business challenges that you're facing and hopefully we can help you get closer to solving them. You can think of it as kind of like a mentor's edition of how I built this. It's gonna be so cool. I cannot wait for all of you to hear it. Meantime, this month as we explore the stories of digital creators on our Monday show, We thought we'd replay Danielle Walker's story from our lab archive. Danielle has built an entire business around healthy eating, which includes her online blog, Against All Grain, and several cookbooks. And it was all inspired by her own journey discovering how food affected her health.

It's an awesome story. I hope you enjoy it, and now on to the show. Hello and welcome to how I built this lab. I'm Guy Raz. So I'll admit that I'm a total sucker for trendy diets. I've tried paleo, gluten free, whole thirty, keto, intermittent fasting, vegetarian, vegan, you name it, I've done it. And the thing is, in each case, I actually benefited from sticking to those diets. And while I pretty much eat everything these days, those diets have really helped me organize the way I cook, and I should mention here, in our family, I do all the cooking, but

It means I get a free pass when it comes to the dishes. Anyway, back in 2014, when I was trying to eat a strictly paleo diet. I came across a cookbook called Against All Grain, and that book completely blew my mind because it was full of recipes I could cook for my whole family and eat a grain free, dairy free, sugar free diet. The book's author, Daniel Walker, wrote the book because she struggled with an autoimmune condition called ulcerative colitis. and she found that changing her diet in a pretty dramatic way allowed her to control the symptoms. Over the next few years, Danielle built her brand of cooking into a business. A business that today publishes cookbooks, sells spices, offers cooking courses, and much more Her newest cookbook is called Healthy in a Hurry, and a lot of the recipes are inspired by her grandma's recipes.
