EPISODE 27 | Even though I'm a certified nutrition coach, I don't believe nutrition is the be-all, end-all. If you want to lose weight, boost energy, have better focus, and look/feel your BEST, it's important to optimize five key areas of your life: nutrition PLUS sleep, stress management, movement, and mindset. That's why I was suuuuper excited to chat with stress expert Courtney Elmer! In the ep, she shares some critical stress and mindset shifts that'll allow you to experience effort-LESS success! I know you're gonna love everything Courtney has to say. Enjoy!!
