This is Austin Adrienne Huebner

Monique Karabach is a successful food blogger (at ATX Eats & Treats) and personal chef whose background as a first generation American with an autoimmune diagnosis has informed her love of food, both healthy and indulgent, varied and delicious. At ATX Eats & Treats, Monique shares her original recipes, reviews of restaurants around Austin, as well as posts about travel and wellness. 
 
We talked about Monique’s childhood in the Dallas area, how she began her career as a food blogger and personal chef, and her favorite spots in Austin to find delicious gluten free food.

Vanessa Rutkowski is a licensed acupuncturist and applied clinical nutritionist who has been practicing in Austin for about 18 years alongside her husband, Douglas Rutkowski. Together, they own Tigerlily Wellness and Acupuncture off S. Lamar. 

We spent most of our time talking about various modalities of Chinese and alternative medicine including acupuncture, cupping, and muscle testing. Whether you’re an acupuncture devotee like myself or a total skeptic, I think you’ll find something interesting in this conversation. 

**Note that this episode was recorded in mid-February 2020, before Covid-19 became an immediate concern for most of us in the United States. We discuss general advice for wellness during cold and flu season, but this advice does not necessarily prevent or treat Covid-19.

Julie Oliver is a Democrat Running for US House of Representatives in Texas District 25, which stretches all the way from Austin up to Burleson south of Fort Worth. It’s a heavily gerrymandered district that has not seen a Democrat in office since redistricting in 2012. Julie has a compelling personal story and professional background in healthcare finance, both of which inform her platform and her passions. I walked away from our conversation feeling inspired and optimistic and I hope you will too.
