Fuel: Level up your performance and your life with superfoods! | Matcha, wheatgrass, acai, and more with Kristel de Groot
This conversation is with Kristel de Groot, a former professional tennis player and co-founder of Your Super, a successful superfoods supplement company. Beyond this, Kristel is a women’s health activist, a plant-based health coach and yoga teacher and is certified in plant-based nutrition from eCornell University. She has been named one of Forbes 30 under 30, and Inc Magazine’s 30 Under 30 and holds a bachelor's degree in finance and accounting and a masters degree in Management.
