Cancer, Casually: Your Super’s Michael Kuech and Kristel De Groot
On this week’s episode, Lindsay brings along her boyfriend, Manny Frausto, to co-host as they chat with Michael Kuech and Kristel De Groot, the founders of superfood powder brand, Your Super. In an inspiring episode for all men, Michael shares his story of being diagnosed with testicular cancer at the age of 24. It became a life-changing journey that ultimately pushed him towards a powerful path to healing. While on chemo, his girlfriend, Kristel (a self-proclaimed food nut), encouraged him to adopt a healthier approach to eating. By using the power of plants and a diet of documentaries, Michael began researching the effect lifestyle choices such as food, stress, and inactivity have on the human body. The results astounded both of them, and immediately they set to bring their learnings and personal experience to others struggling with health issues. Today, Your Super, is sold all over the world, with headquarters in Venice Beach and Berlin. Their superfood powders offer all the nutritional value of fresh foods with the convenience of supplements. Both Kristel and Michael agree that cancer is a mystery and you can’t control every piece of the puzzle... but there are alternative routes that can help. It is their mission to make superfoods easy and accessible for the masses, healing as many lives as possible along the way.Listen on iTunes or Spotify.[soundcloud id='611076759' height='false']
