I'm thrilled to be welcoming Kelly LeVeque to Google

So Kelly, if you don't know, is a wellness expert,

SPEAKER 1: --under your belt. But I really

and nutrition, and just found it really fascinating.

of the clutter that's out there and just confusion

around what advice to listen to-- so super excited

And just to kick off, Kelly, you have a really unique approach.

So can you tell us a bit about how you developed that strategy

and what led you to your overall nutrition philosophy?

KELLY LEVEQUE: Sure, so I'd have to take you guys all back

I had an eight year career in cancer and genetics

where my job everyday was to read studies and determine

if they were biased or unbiased, if they had

significant p-values like how many people were involved

Which you find a lot in nutrition studies,

really hard to determine if an apple a day is good for you

another person's eating fries, and another person's

But what it was for me was always a passion, always

I was that girl who read diet books in high school when--

I mean we joked about this when I got here--

when I was not allowed to watch "The Simpsons" or "90210."

And it was something that obviously was a hobby

I learned how to read those studies and go into--

you guys have Google Scholar, which I love.

something that I'm searching for whether it's the benefits

of curcumin, which is the active ingredient in turmeric.

Or what's better, two meals a day or six?

And understanding how to read the research

allowed me to just mine that nutrition knowledge and figure

out what I thought was the most important.

diet, or an Atkins diet, or a paleo diet, or a Keto diet,

or your blood sugar balance, or you were Weight Watchers,

I kind of just didn't want the eat and do not eat list.

But for me it was really trying to decipher what was

Because your body is constantly breaking itself

You rebuild your body about nine times over your life.

So I wanted to know what did my cells need.

And then what's going to make me feel my best

And so that's kind of what led me to my philosophy, which

is a light structure around eating that isn't an eat

Because I think for a lot of people who decide,

oh, I'm never going to eat rice again, well, what

happens when you go on a trip with your husband

And making choices around food based on that knowledge--

so that's also kind of how it all happened.

SPEAKER 1: So coming out of learning all that research,

what are some of the biggest biological takeaways that you
