16: I talk with Mina of Misfits Bakehouse about moving to the US at 16 from Egypt, gaining weight, then ultimately gaining his health back through the keto diet and how he started his paleo/keto/grain free bakery. The story of how he turned his bakery into a thriving business amidst a global pandemic is truly inspiring. This episode is a little different from our normal episodes, but his persistence and the way people showed up for him was a story I felt that we needed to hear more than ever right now!https://www.misfits.kitchen/Code REALFOODOLOGY saves you $ at checkout!
