But we were conditioned to think like that, you know, the Special K diet or, you know, I can just eat cereal for my breakfast.
7:53
Cereal is probably more so even breakfast than the idea of people under-eating.
7:58
Most people under-eat.
7:59
They under-eat their breakfast, they under-eat their lunch, and they might eat an adequate dinner that would have a balance of, let's say, two most certainly veg and a meat source.
8:09
But still, even at that, I would always love to bump up two main protein sources with, let's say, any one of your main meals.
8:16
But going back to the likes of the breakfast, Like eggs are literally a multivitamin for anyone to consume for, I'm going to say, a breakfast starting off.
8:24
And those are the last things that we take out of people's diet.

So I definitely wasn't as good as I would like to be, but, like, that's a huge thing, your skin, and I'm gonna say the way you s- hold yourself.
19:15
And people who are short-breathed are typically hunched over, and they're trying to catch their breath at particular times.
19:20
So it only, I'm gonna say, caused me major issues while playing sports, and I used to have the Ventolin, the brown and the blue.
19:26
I can't even remember half of them now.
19:27
But in changing my diet as well as, I'm gonna say, changing, uh, the, the lifestyle that I live and the foods that I ate regularly, th- that's completely eradicated.
19:37
I don't have any eczema right now, and your skin being the largest organ in your body, like, I'm so grateful that I came across this path where it was fate, or you can call it whatever you like.

You just give it a small patch in the garden.
1:58
You know, what gave you that interest to actually go into horticulture to begin with, actually?
2:03
I'll be as straight up and honest as I possibly can in these podcasts.
2:06
And, uh, my mam and dad are, uh, nurses and retired, uh, psychiatric nurses now.
2:11
And after that, I chose to do [laughs] uh, sports and rec in college but didn't get enough points in my, uh, Leaving Cert 'cause I definitely wouldn't, uh, imagine me as a student.
2:23
Um, didn't make those 300 points that I was meant to get, so second thing on the CAO was horticulture, and it was, the reason why I put that down, it's 'cause it was an outside job.
2:32
I actually couldn't possibly sit down for too long, and that's why I was actually chatting to you before this, I was like, "This can't be too long.
2:38
Why?" And you were like, "Why?" And I was like, "More so really straight up, I can't sit down for that long." Um, I wanna be moving.
