This week, I had the chance to sit down with Melissa Urban, co-founder and CEO of Whole30 and an authority on helping people create lifelong healthy habits. She's a seven-time New York Times bestselling author, including a recent book on creating boundaries, The Book of Boundaries. Her new book, The New Whole30, will be available in August this year. In this episode, Melissa and I talked about the power and freedom of boundaries, learning to trust ourselves, and what's new in Whole30.

Memorable Quotes"Whole30 was founded in 2009, and it started off as a two-person self-experiment. It had such a radically profound and permanent transformation on my health, my habits, and my relationship with food that I decided to share about it on my little CrossFit training blog. And the rest is kind of history.""My first Whole30 was the first time I was able to get off the scale and out of the mirror, and when I was done I knew I would never go back to the way I was eating before.""We aim to be a science-backed program based on clinical evidence and the scientific literature, so as we learn more about food and the way food impacts our bodies, our program rules have certainly evolved throughout the years. If the evidence doesn't hold up anymore, we're making a rule change."Resources Mentioned
