Samuel ShepardGuestBrandyHostHi, everyone.
Welcome back to another episode of Functionally Autoimmune.
I'm so happy to have you here with me today.
I have a fantastic guest on the show with me that I know you're all going to be super happy to hear us talk and meet.
So with me is Samuel Shepard.
He is an award-winning physicist, an inventor, a scientist, an engineer, so many things I can list.
Also the founder of Ballasta.

Thanks, Brandy, for having me and at least the ability to get some of this information out to the general public.
Yeah, I love that.
I really appreciate you taking the time to do that.
So I want to just give you a little chance to tell us a little bit more about yourself, kind of what led you from being an inventor, a physicist, all these scientific things into the area of health and wellness and founding your Valastra company.
How did you make that transition?
