Today I’m joined by one of the most lovely young women I’ve had the pleasure of knowing professionally; we got to hang out a little bit this past summer. She really is incredibly genuine. She’s this light, bubbly, positive person, and I’m so excited to introduce Kristen Boehmer to you guys today. She’s the founder and creator of Living Loving Paleo; and from her own experience, is a true believer that food can be a powerful medicine. She was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of 12, and then after spending far too many years in and out of the hospitals, and ultimately having her entire large intestine removed in 2011, she took back control of her own life by completely changing her diet and mindset. Her biggest mission is to share her story and knowledge with the world, as so many are needlessly suffering just like she once was. Kristen is here to show you how she believes that creating a positive mindset in eating real food has the ability to change your entire life. Welcome to the show, Kristen!<br> <br> Kristen Boehmer: That was the sweetest introduction ever; thank you Cassy!<br> <br> Cassy Joy: {laughs}<br> <br> Kristen Boehmer: I feel the same about you.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: Oh, you’re too kind.<br> <br> Kristen Boehmer: I mean it.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: I mean, really, I guess; we’ve kind of just touched back and forth online and social media for years. And I’ve admired the content you’ve put out there, and you really are truly positive and your genuine spirit comes across in all of your posts, so I’ve always been a fan.<br> <br> Kristen Boehmer: Thank you.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: And then I got to meet you, and your awesome husband.<br> <br> Kristen Boehmer: {laughs} That was so fun.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: It was so fun! This past summer we were in San Francisco for a book tour stop, and we got to spend some time together. I really did walk away knowing that I’d found a real friend, and a real; I don’t know, connection with another person from the internet. I’m just so excited. And I’m excited to introduce you to the Fed and Fit people. {laughs}<br> <br> Kristen Boehmer: Aww, thank you! I feel the exact same about you. When I came across you years ago, it was your positivity that just shined through your posts, and I was just instantly drawn to you. So thanks for being you.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: Oh my gosh; let’s just high five! {laughs}<br> <br> Kristen Boehmer: I know! {laughs}<br> <br> Cassy Joy: Across a couple of time zones.
