Hey MindFitters, today on the show I have Bobbie-Anne Poulton. Bobbie is a Female Human Optimisation Coach that incorporates 3 major pillars of health, being Nourishment, Movement and Mindset in her programs to help Humans optimise their lives.

Bobbie is from the UK, but currently lives in Sydney, Australia and coaches CrossFit at CrossFit Play and also works online helping her clients Optimise their results. On the show we talk about her Journey and how she ended up in Sydney.

She talks about how she was brought up in a small town with a lovely family, but they were quite small minded. She then went travelling and was introduced to all different people of all different cultures and realised how much more there is to live. At this point she realised she had to move out of the UK and decided to move to Hong Kong.

She talks about how she was introduced to CrossFit after injuring her MCL in her first Rugby game. We chat about how good CrossFit is, not just as a Training Methodology, but also for forming bonds with a like minded community and to help with your mindset.

She worked with Ed Haynes at Coastal Fitness and become quite good very quickly and then decided to become competitive. She started to put the work in and made it to the Pacific Regionals in 2017 as an individual competitor.

She then dives into how she has an auto immune disease, which basically means her immune system is on overdrive and that effects the connective tissue around the pelvis area, which unfortunately gave way when she was training one day and she went and got it checked out and found she had fractured her spine.

This then put an end to her competitive CrossFit career. She explains how this was the worse thing to happen, but also the best thing. This injury made her realise that all her self worth was based around her abs and athletic performance.

It was at this point that life changed for her and she decided some things needed to shift in her life and she went on a spiritual/self discovery journey, which has lead her to where she is today and helping others to overcome adversity and challenges in their lives.
