250 - Midlife, Mindset, and Mastery: Achieving Optimal Health with Nancy Leeds Gribble

Our guest today, Nancy Leeds Gribble, thought she had it all. She was a successful realtor, married to the love of her life, and mother to a happy child. Then tragedy struck, changing her world forever.    Living in a haze of grief for several years, Nancy decided to take control of her life, and change her mindset, and her priorities. In 2014, she enrolled in the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, immersed herself in her love of health and fitness, and once again, found joy.   Fast forward to today, and Nancy is a Culinary Nutrition & Lifestyle Expert. She wants you to know you don’t have to be defined or restricted by your age. With an emphasis on whole foods, plant-based eating, and exercise, she helps women – especially women over 50 - achieve sustainable health, mind and body transformations to live longer, happier lives.   Join us to hear Nancy’s powerful story of resilience and hope!    “Most women my age are very calorie-focused. So it’s if you want to lose weight, energy in, energy out. How many calories do you consume, how many calories go out? Right? And so instead of just saying, ‘Okay, 1,500 calories. Have at it. Go eat whatever you want, even if it’s plant-based.’ We break it down. I break it down into within that 1,500 calories. I would like you to consume anywhere from 25%-35% of that in protein, maybe 40% in healthy carbohydrates, and 30% in healthy fats. What I loved when I learned about macronutrients – so those are your proteins, your fats, and your carbs – was that they’re very tailored to the person. So it’s based on your age, your height, your goals, your lifestyle. So it’s not a one-size-fits-all, and I think that’s the beauty of it.” – Nancy Leeds Gribble   What we discuss in this episode: How faith sustained Nancy through grief.
