    Episode 500: All About Naturally Nourished and Ali Miller RD Part 1

    Have you ever wondered about how Naturally Nourished got started or wanted to learn more about Ali and her background? In this reflective episode Ali is interviewed by her husband and COO of Naturally Nourished, Brady Miller. They go deep into the making of the company and how Ali found her passion for food-as-medicine in this two part 500th episode celebration. In part one of this epic deep dive, they discuss Ali’s odd jobs from crystal buyer at a hippie gem shop, to parking lot attendant, and hospital diet clerk; when they met and how their diets coevolved from ultra processed to vegetarian and locavore to sustainable snout to tail.    You will learn about what drew Ali to Bastyr Naturopathic University and her unique experiences with food-as-medicine, herbal medicine, and ultimately how she learned about functional medicine. Ali shares about her dietetic internship at University of Houston, key mentors in her professional development, and her first job as a registered dietitian leading medical weight loss and functional medicine programs on dysmetabolic syndrome.    This episode closes out with some big streaks of growth from working with a producer as a patient to getting locked in for 5 years of weekly food-as-medicine television segments on Fox26 and starting her own clinic and eventually supplement line, Naturally Nourished. Ali testifies how God has blessed her with opportunities and alignment for favor and how many things in this journey have been big surprises.    In part 2, Ali will discuss the building and development of Naturally Nourished and take us up to date with what we can expect in the next 10 years.
