^{FLASH POLL}

^{THIS KID ROCKS}

This teen is fighting for a healthier world for your kids

You’ve heard me talk about AlphaX graduate, Grace Price, a few times.

For her AlphaX project, Grace:

👉 Produced a health documentary that has nearly 5 million views.

👉 And garnered incredible media attention for it, like:

• Morning on Merit Street

• The Comments Section with Brett Cooper

• Back to the People Podcast with Nicole Shanahan

• Health Longevity Secrets with Robert Lufkin MD

Well — she just topped herself. 🤷

Earlier this week, 18-year-old Grace was one of 14 expert panelists invited to speak at a roundtable in Washington D.C., hosted by Senator Ron Johnson and RFK Jr.

Grace valiantly defended the health of her generation, and demanded action.

“Ultra-processed foods are the new cigarette for my generation,” she announced, as she shared shocking data that painted a pretty compelling argument for why that statement is horrifyingly true.

For 10 minutes, Grace had the ear of government and the ear of the nation — and she took full advantage of the opportunity.

She didn’t just demand change. She persuaded people to act by crafting a thoughtful argument that was:

• Backed by data 🧬

• Rooted in emotional storytelling 📖

• And confidently delivered 💪

If you do one thing today other than read this newsletter, take 10 minutes to watch her speech. It’s enthralling. 👇️
