Dr. Gabrielle Fundaro is a former Professor of Exercise Science who holds her PhD in Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise and left academia to become a Health and Nutrition Coach. In this conversation, we talk about her journey from entering school as a music therapy major to going on to get her PhD in Human Nutrition, following curiosity and trusting herself while changing her path in both her academic and professional careers, how to make sense of research studies, and taking a lifestyle behavioral approach to health to focus on improving all aspects of health rather than the number on the scale.
