Arianne Jones: Detractors told Jones that she could never excel at luge because she has a small build. In a sport where size means speed, Jones defied the odds to become an Olympian and win a gold medal at the World Cup in 2016. How did she do it? While recovering from a broken back, she completely changed her eating habits, studied holistic nutrition, and became a chef. It became about food quality not quantity. Shortly thereafter, she was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease. Despite the challenges, she has not given up and her newly found holistic lifestyle has also become her career, as she guides others to make healthier choices and find balance.
