So you’ve heard about online health coaching, but what exactly does that mean? 1:1 Summit Coaching is an online coaching container that I designed for busy professionals in pharma/biotech who want to optimize their gut + hormone health and also get fit! When I became a medical science liaison I loved the travel, hustle and bustle of the job, but also needed to overcome some SERIOUS health hurdles (cue SIBO, adrenal insufficiency, and hormone dysfunction). After coming out on the other side I knew I needed to design my coaching to serve others like me who give so much of themselves to their education and career. We are a special breed and you need support from someone who understands your values, your career, the travel demands, stresses, and loves setting and achieving goals just as much as you. 

Now that my health is where it needs to be, it has brought the joy back into my career and has made the demands of travel, early starts, and late nights manageable (and dare I say, fun, again!)

If you just went holy shit, it's Thanksgiving next week which means 2023 is coming to a close and you've not quite made the progress you've wanted to - still bloated, tired all the time, can't lose the weight - and now you've got to make it through the holidays, this episode is for you.

I'll walk you through two really powerful exercises to figure out what it is that you truly want, why you want it, and why you've not been able to make it happen (yet!).

My clients love these exercises and I think you will too!

You're a go getter and don't have the time to slow down just because you're on your period? Yepp, I get that. I used to think cycle synching was a luxury afforded to ... softer women. But when I actually started doing more research and embracing aspects of it I realized it was a tool I could use to become more efficient and optimize how I approach a variety things in my life.

In this episode I'll take you through how to identify the unique aspects of your cycle and how you can use that to perform better at work, train more effectively in the gym, and eat to support your body in the different phases of your cycle.

This is a topic I am super passionate about because it has made a huge impact on my life and my mental health as well. If you're also into this topic send me a DM, I would love to hear your experience!

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (or SIBO) is becoming a more common problem amongst women (and some men) on their fitness journey. Besides the bloating, gas, stomach pain, and irregular bowel movements, SIBO can be the culprit for adult acne, brain fog, joint aches, weight gain, and more! In this episode I break down what SIBO is, what causes SIBO, and how you can finally start healing from it.

Often times clients are afraid (whether they say it or not) to enter a healing phase because it could mean shifting focus from their fitness or weight loss goals to a non-aesthetic healing goals and they don't want to lose progress! I totally get it, because that was 100% me just a couple of years ago. I ended up pushing my body too far and then spent 2 years healing my gut and adrenals. I'm on the other side of that now and I'm about 11 weeks into my very first fat loss phase since healing! You bet your ass I'm doing things a bit different this time to ensure that my health is taken care of WHILE I'm losing weight (we call that a major win win!).

This episode is raw and I admit to some things that would put me in functional nutrition coach jail, but whether you're on the verge of a healing journey or full send into one, I share my mindset battles, little wins along the way, and how to diet once you've overcome gut, adrenal, and hormone dysfunctions so that you're healthy AND fit.

Want to see where my journey goes next? Let's continue the conversation on IG - DM me @coachjennafoster :)

If you think meditation is just for woo woo hippies, I used to think that too! Turns out there are many science-backed ways that meditation helps you better manage stress, regulate emotions, and bring functional aspects of health into better balance - yes I mean gut issues, hormone dysfunctions, and adrenal fatigue. This episode goes into the types of meditation, the science behind how it can improve deep levels of your health, and how you can implement meditation into your routine (even if you definitely do not have time for it!)

From someone who used to think meditation was a bunch of crap, to someone who has seen the transformative impact it can have on my clients health and fitness progress, it is something that everyone can add to their toolbox.

I open up about my personal journey of sobriety and the reasons behind my decision to stop drinking. I talk about the challenges I faced socially and emotionally, including feeling abandoned by my friends. I highlight the connection that I found between alcohol and its impact on mental health, as well as the practical aspects of when sober time is necessary to heal gut issues, hormone dysfunction, and adrenal fatigue. This episode made my heart race enough while recording that my oura ring thought I was working out so I guess it's a bit vulnerable!
