This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. As Amanda Cherie Payton explains, one with a fast-paced and packed-full schedule, complete with days of eating on the run, does not have to throw a healthy life-style out of the window—there’s a market for that! 

Amanda Cherie Payton is an Industrial and Organizational Psychology graduate student concentrating in Occupational Health Psychology at Touro University Worldwide. Her studies of workplace science and busy schedule as a human resources practitioner make eating on the go sometimes inevitable, but with food allergies, metabolic glitches, and healthy living goals, eating on the go does not always give her the fuel she needs to sustain her highly energetic mind and meet her wellness needs. As both a thinker and a foodie, she believes in the ability to use nutrition as an energy source to fuel her busy life. However, most fast food meals aren't designed with energy in mind.
To solve her own problem and the problems of numerous other busy scholars, practitioners, and wellness advocates, Amanda, along with colleague Lyubov Sakara, is in the embryonic phase of co-founding Robust, a fast super food organization that offers convenient yet flavor-filled, nutrient-rich meals designed to boost energy.


About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
