Her first Whole30 was in May 2014 and it helped her rediscover her love of the Paleo diet and regain the energy she needed to keep up with a toddler. Since then, she has managed to complete and help others complete their own Whole30s while being on public assistance (SNAP and WIC). She uses her love of coupons and finding a great deal to stick to her family’s monthly food budget while still providing the best food possible for her family.
