Ashley sought out one-on-one nutrition coaching because she was tired of working her butt off in the gym, but eating in accordance with her goals inconsistently. She knew coaching would provide her with the accountability and kick in the pants she needed to begin feeling, performing, and looking like she desired.

After her first dieting phase, Ashley dropped 23 pounds. She rocked her post-diet maintenance phase, staying within a couple pounds of her end of diet weight.

But then life hit.

She was out of the country when Corona hit the US hard. And she then was rocked with a slew of personal and work-related challenges that led to her making the decision to end a dieting phase (that we'd already postponed!) very early...but then rebounded to finish that phase at a later date to reach an all time new low on the scale.

Tune in to learn how Ashley's mindset was greatly tested in 2019 and 2020 and what she's been doing to keep self-care top of the priority list.

20% of people deal with some form of a gut-related issue (think bloating, constipation, etc.) every single day. And, even worse, they feel helpless, therefore, allowing whatever stressor is present to wreak havoc on their days.

In today's episode, I interview Certified Functional Medicine Nutritionist and Gut Health Expert, Rachel Scheer. Rachel shares more information about the gut as well as signs that something is out of balance, before transitioning to discussing the steps you can take to optimize your gut health. 

We also spend time discussing the importance of stress-management, habit formation, and how essential personal development is for optimizing your path to continued weight maintenance success. 

Enjoy!
