In this episode Sal, Adam & Justin speak with Christina Rice. Christina, at 20 years old, has been to hell and back again with her health. She has seen it all (or at least more than her fair share) and has knowledge and experience well beyond her years. She talks in depth about her journey on this podcast and doesn't pull any punches.
You can find Christina on iTunes at Actually Adultish and Straight Up Paleo, her two podcasts and at her blog, addictedtolovely.com (she has tons of awesome, healthy recipes there!).
