In this episode, Corey and Christine welcome Lexi Noel, a 19-year-old Gen Z health advocate, baker, and co-founder of the MAHA Girls account, for the first installment of their new series: MAHA Girls Gen Z and How One Generation Is Changing the Future of Food. From being diagnosed with anorexia at 13 to healing through real, whole foods, Lexi's story challenges everything we've been told about what "healthy" looks like for young people.
