Eating disorders are a topic we don't talk a lot about in the fitness industry, and I think we should. Today we have Becky Freestone sharing her story of recovery from anorexia and orthorexia. She lets us in on what her eating disorders looked like in her life and how she has created a life of recovery. Becky has an inspiring story that I feel anyone can benefit from. Whether you are struggling with an eating disorder yourself or know someone who is, this conversation with Becky is a must-listen!

If you’ve hung around here for a short while, you know that I am BIG on setting goals. Today I chat about the four goals I had set at the beginning of the year, and what working toward those goals has looked like for me. Hopefully, as I go through those goals and give you a little report, you will recognize that just because you don't complete your goals doesn't mean you shouldn't be setting them.

As a follow-up from last week’s Episode 60, in this segment of “Ask Amber” I continue to answer all of your health and fitness supplement questions! This second part in the series addresses pre-workouts (what they are and their benefits), BCAAs (what they do and who should take them), muscle aches and pains, daily multivitamins, and the BIG question: supplements while pregnant/breastfeeding. I have also created a freebie reference sheet that can be found in the show notes.

I also spend a LOT of time addressing protein powders – different kinds, pros, and cons, what to look for, etc. Feeling lost? No worries, I created a freebie reference sheet that can be found below.

Our brains are hardwired to keep us alive, #fact, but one way they do this is by subconsciously creating “All or nothing” mentalities for us to revert to. What does this mean? Well, the All or Nothing Mentality is the mentality that tells you to eat all 20 doughnuts because “you’ve already messed up your diet today.” Join me as I help coach you through how to overcome this mentality by making better choices to help you succeed on your fitness journey!
