Ashleigh VanHouten is a key influencer in the health and fitness industry. As the self-proclaimed ‘Muscle Maven’, she coaches elite athletes and many nonathletic clients on ways to optimize their health. Ashleigh is not only a fitness expert, but also a well sought-after speaker, podcast host, and author of a new cookbook entitled It Takes Guts. Her book focuses on the importance of the often neglected, but nutritionally dense organ meats.
