Cleaning Up Cereal & Big Business with Parker Brook
Green Living with Tee
05/22/23 • 30 min
Did you know that 67% of the average child's diet is junk food and 1 in 2 children have a chronic health condition? This week Tee welcomes Parker Brook, a former “Big Food” executive who is on a mission to change these stats. After developing an autoimmune condition and then welcoming the birth of his daughter, Parker was inspired to leave his job and start Lovebird, a gut health-boosting organic, grain-free, and no-refined sugar cereal.
The birth of his daughter was such a powerful experience that Parker felt the responsibility to rise above his autoimmune disease to provide love and protection. That feeling became a calling. Working in the big food industry, he knew there was a better way to make food for himself, his daughter, and the world. Parker's purpose is to help families eat better so they can rise and fly with food from the earth, lightly sweetened by nature.
In this episode, Tee and Parker discuss the development and formulation of Lovebird’s first cereals. From Parker's kitchen table to the aisles of Whole Foods, Parker recounts the process of testing and refining while continuing to develop the live-with-love philosophy of Lovebird. We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but until now there were few choices for parents looking to nourish their children's bodies with a cereal free of highly inflammatory ingredients and full of nutrition. Lovebird gives you that option.
20% of Lovebird’s profits go to fighting childhood cancer, a case that Parker has been passionate about after spending time with children and families battling cancer during his autoimmune diagnosis and recovery.

Green Living with Tee
05/15/23 • 39 min
This week Tee welcomes Heidi Kuimjian for an informative and practical conversation about how you can transform your bedroom into a low-tox, chemical-free oasis. Heidi is a content marketer with a passion for non-toxic living. As a brand strategist for Better-For-You Brands, she is helping to increase sales and awareness among low and non-toxic products aiming to reduce harmful chemical output in our world. Heidi entered this line of work after healing herself from a complex environmental toxic illness she struggled with throughout her adolescence and college years.
After graduating college Heidi started working as a marketer in the textile industry. During her free time, Heidi returned to school to earn accreditations in holistic health and nutrition, alongside her marketing career. In addition, Heidi launched a skincare brand, a 1:1 health coaching practice, and the podcast LIfelong.
In this chat, Heidi lends her experience in textiles and low-tox living to inform and educate listeners about how the beauty, durability, and abundance of natural fabrics and materials can be a perfect first step in reducing your toxic exposure. Heidi discusses the elimination of chemical-laden laundry soaps and how dust-filled carpets and rugs can pose a risk to your respiratory health and the burden of allergens. Tee and Heidi also discuss how buying used furniture and clothing that has naturally off-gassed can be a further step in creating a healthy and happy home.

Dr. Whitney Donohue: Treating the Individual Not the Disease
Green Living with Tee
11/11/24 • 36 min
This week, Tee is thrilled to welcome Dr. Whitney Donohue, a naturopathic physician and applied kinesiologist, to discuss the importance of addressing the root causes of illnesses rather than merely medicating symptoms. Dr. Donohue, who earned her doctorate from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona, is the owner and lead physician at Quantum Body Optimization. She shares her personal journey from chronic pain to holistic healing, illustrating how naturopathic and lifestyle medicine can provide personalized treatment plans, reduce reliance on medications, and improve quality of life.
Additionally, Dr. Donohue explains the foundational elements of alternative care, including applied kinesiology, neuro-emotional technique (NET), and the triad of health approach, which considers physical, biochemical, and emotional factors. This conversation underscores the value of trusting in the body’s natural healing abilities, advocating for one’s own health, and embracing lifestyle changes. Practical tips for everyday wellness—like walking, staying hydrated, and reducing environmental toxins—are also shared.
