Live from the Live Better recording studio! Bret and Jason are here this week with Sarah Russo, holistic certified chef and owner of Love Your Fat Personal Chefs here in Chicago. Sarah, a former vegan, now specializes in therapeutic foods and healing foods that are functional and delicious. Her favorite cuisine is the farm-to-table approach, seasonal-plentiful-relatable. Sarah added animal protein back into her diet in 2015, as she discovered mindful ways to source the "good stuff" in the Chicago area. For the past 5 years, Sarah has been working as a personal chef, recipe developer, speaker, educator, blog contributor.

Sarah is also the founder of organic ice pop company, ITSAPOP and her newest venture, an organic weekly subscription service in Chicago called Salad Club. When Sarah is not cooking or scheming a new concept to launch… you can find probably find her at the nearest farmer’s market, working out (her favs: strength training, spinning, and yoga) or spending time with her family. If this was senior year of high school, Sarah’s yearbook quotes would probably be: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” -Winston Churchill and “When you have the best sourced ingredients you can cook very simply and the food will be extraordinary because it tastes like what it is.” -Sarah Russo

In this episode we breakdown the secrets to:

  1. Getting curious with food and learning its benefits 
  2. Testing to determine your diet and what works best for you 
  3. Creating an entrepreneurial lifestyle as a private chef

Listen in as Bret and Jason discuss with Sarah about her mission to help others follow their food journey and discover their ‘perfect menu’.
