- People at first thought she was a little bit of a crazy mom, but now her kid is so insanely healthy and athletic that she’s showed how this lifestyle works.
- She’s always trusted doctors, so the moment when she realized her diet wasn’t good for her child (or for her) blew her mind quite a bit.
- Her husband is a doctor, after all!
- He’s endorsed this wholeheartedly, too, though.

- Brittany really believes if she could cook for people herself and show them, they’d be as content.
- She now uses generic insulin for him when he needs it –– it’s different now.

- He’ll always need insulin but it’s more manageable.
