“It was a week ago. And so we could plant seeds. You can plant seeds at your home, which I did in my pot plant. You can plant in your gardens and it gives you joy to get outside, watch them grow.

And so, and he's, you know, with Big Green, he's built over 650 gardens, vegetable and fruit gardens and underserved schools. And I go with him to some openings and we've done media work about it. And it's just because I'm a dietitian and he does give me some credit for that, that even though we struggled, we always had fruits and vegetables at home and we kept in good health.”

“Right, absolutely. And we got to get back to Kimball because, of course, you asked me about Kimball, and then I flipped over. So Kimball does farm to table restaurants. And I think they pretty much closed. He's doing some takeout. But struggling. And I think the whole restaurant industry is struggling terribly. I'm concerned about all his staff. He gets very sad with all the staff and all that. And the farmers that were supplying the farm to table as well. So that's very sad. But what he did do two weeks ago was plant a seed day.”

“The thing is, they are academic snobs. And I have many friends who are academic snobs. And I remember a friend of mine, a PhD in psychology. We were giving a talk in Durban in South Africa and on eating disorders. She's a psychologist and I was the dietitian. And then we needed a ride to the airport. So this handsome young model-y guy offered to give me a ride. So she came with me and then we were talking away. And then he said, what's an MSE degree? Because he didn't know what a master of science degree was. And so when we were dropped off, she says, I don't care how gorgeous he is. You don't date somebody like that. So that's funny.

“Yes, you see, I used to talk about entrepreneurship and nutrition worldwide. I mean, flew to Australia, at universities, to wellness professionals, especially dietitians, to get out there and be entrepreneurs. And now I'm speaking more about older women, so age is great for me. Older women being in the workplace. Because what's happening when women become turned 50, people don't want them want to employ them and men become CEOs. So that's got to stop. And the way to stop it is that women have to support women and men have to support women. There are many men who do support women, but we just need to, you know, there's still the old boys club and it's hard to convince them to let any woman encroach on their territory. And so if women”

“Don't have a private practice anymore, but I do talk around the world. Yeah, I've been recently in Kiev, Budapest, Khan, Shanghai. I mean, the point is that was last year, of course, I go worldwide talking about, first of all, a woman empowerment, feeling good about aging, working when you're older. I'm going to be 72 next month and I'm quite happy about that. Not worrying about that so much as doing good for the world and keep staying educated. I just finished before my book came out, I finished the 75 one-hour exams I have to take as a nutrition scientist to maintain my registration as a dietitian. And I want to retain it because in the media, they won't allow non-dieticians to talk about nutrition. They actually check your credentials three times before you can get on to CNN.”

“Well, the science is that you need to eat for good health and delicious food. So you need to eat the foods you really enjoy. And I have to say, being in isolation the other day, I really, if I could go out to the stores, then I would go and get myself a huge chocolate and just eat chocolate and lie down here, go into a food coma, a happy food coma. But then I would regret it afterwards. And I've been in that state. So you need to focus on getting the right foods in and having them in your home because shopping is limited. Even deliveries are limited now. And when you go to these stores, you need to be careful wear your gloves. Don't touch your face and choose a lot of fruits and vegetables so that you can have enough for five days and then you can go back to the stores again because it's daunting to go to the stores nowadays.”

“I'm just happy that I stopped my practice five years ago because I wouldn't tolerate any of this nonsense. I didn't have it before that. You know, it's really been the last five years with the internet that people are looking for their magic solution. And there is no magic solution. You really just have to plan your food. I'm very careful even now, you know, in isolation. I make my beans stew. I eat very healthily, but then I did have a hamburger, which was delicious. I had half for lunch, half for dinner.”

So the research shows that there are four diets that have the best results health-wise. The first one is the Mediterranean diet. Then there's the dash diet. You can look that up because nobody knows, but it's similar.”

“I don't like weird diets. I don't see why they're giving weird diets. They're very restrictive. There's no science behind them. I have two Master of Science degrees. It annoys me completely. And if someone tells me when they find out I'm a dietitian, they say, oh, I bet you want to know what supplements I'm taking. My children or my friends will pull me away from them because I'll just start insulting them.”

“We're here with May Musk as she has a book called A Woman Makes a Plan, Advice of Lifetime Adventure, Beauty, and Success. One of the things you did, I was just interviewing Dave Asprey, who does bulletproof coffee. I've talked to a lot of people about food. When you're thinking, you were saying, I know you were interviewed recently, and a lot of the tech guys like to do keto. They like to do all kinds of different weird diets. How do you look at that? I don't know if Elon does that or not or Kimball or others”

“And they thought that was funny that I should do that to them, and they need to change their clothes. I call them Kleenex clothes. You need to, if you drop £10, you go out and buy very cheap clothes so that they fit you nicely and you feel good in them. Because when you start wearing men wearing, they lose 20 pounds. They look like they're wearing their dad's suit. And they look frumpy. So they need to then get inexpensive clothes. I remember Elon's first suit because he was going for an interview with a bank. It was $99. And I think it included two shirts, two ties and a pair of socks. And as he has said, don't light a cigarette near me. And he had to wear that suit every day”

I don't like mean people. I've dated a lot. Some very men who would be cruel to me and I don't know why I stuck in those relationships. But yeah, as long as they are good and they are doing good things. But then they also saw that as a dietitian, clients would come and see me and they would be happy to make changes in their eating habits so that they could be healthier and just feel better about themselves. And that's what many of my clients said is that I don't just tell them to eat better and they have to come every week. They also have to stand up straight and walk in with a smile because I don't need a Miserable day”

So I dragged her out. And then she just said, I was their pillar. They always could come to me. They knew I would support them with everything. And so they always felt like they had a home, even though they came first in my life. I mean, everything was about my kids. And people said when they leave home, I'm going to have the intines syndrome where you go into depression. And Tosco was the last one to leave.

We all didn't, I mean, I did get that one job for eight months, but pretty much I didn't have another job after that. It was mainly running my own business, which was unusual for a dietician. They thought, you need your five years in the hospital before you get out there. But I felt I was more qualified than nutritionists who have no education at all. I had a bachelor of science degree. So that's why I could run my own business and I could have children and I could work from home. So that was a big advantage to be able to run your own business from home.

And I said, whoa, I'm going to survive. I'm so happy. Because, of course, we couldn't afford any meat, fish, or chicken anyway. So we had to do quite a vegetarian diet with anything that you can afford to eat. So it was high fiber cereals, milk, fruit, vegetables in season, talking about organic. Now, if you're on a budget, don't even look for organic. You need to just find whatever you can afford. It could be frozen. It could be canned. But you need to get your vegetables in and your fruit. Because that keeps you in good health, and just the main thing was to be in good health.”
