Episode notes
Sedona Roots To New York Pressure
- Whitney and Danielle grew up together in Sedona and moved to New York where their lives diverged into medicine and Wall Street respectively.
- Their Sedona upbringing (meditation, Tai Chi) contrasted sharply with NYC's high‑stress lifestyle and fueled their later food mission.
Wall Street Lifestyle Hurt Their Health
- Whitney describes 80‑hour Wall Street weeks, late‑night networking and drinking that led to weight gain and stress problems.
- That lifestyle directly worsened her skin and health, prompting a search for root causes beyond prescriptions.
Medical Fixes Missed The Root Cause
- Whitney recounted trying nearly every dermatology treatment including Accutane and invasive lasers without addressing underlying causes.
- Those medical interventions felt extreme and she realized doctors rarely asked about diet, stress, or bowel habits.
