In this episode, our very own Thriving On Client shares his story of losing 30 lbs by eating MORE.

He first came to us only eating 1600 to 1800 calories and working his butt off in the gym.

It wasn't until he joined with Coach Ellen that he finally started to see results by first restoring his metabolism through reverse dieting.

6 months later, he is 30 lbs down, PRing in the gym, and finally feeling like his body is reflecting his hard work.

In this episode, my friend and fellow nutrition coach, Christy Cambell, was wonderful enough to GET REAL with us about:

- her journey to becoming a coach

- the struggle of prioritizing yourself as mom and how to overcome it

- unrealistic expectations of what a pregnancy journey is "supposed it be" according to social media

- and more

Towards the end, both Christy and I discussed our divorces and our own personal journies of healing through that.

In this episode, one of our very own Thriving On clients, Nicole, agreed to come on to the podcast to share her inspiring story of overcoming insulin resistance and being on Metformin to losing 5 pant sizes, getting off of her medication completely gaining food freedom, being able to live her life and so much more.

She shared what she and Coach Tobi worked on to help achieve all of this in hopes that you guys can take away some tactical things to apply to your fitness journey.

Most people see the before and after picture, but we wanted you all to see behind the scenes of what it took her to achieve these goals through nutrition, fitness, and mindset.
