In this special edition episode, MindStrong Founder and CEO, Rachel Freiman, shares her personal backstory on the road to creating and growing MindStrong. 

Rachel is the CEO of MindStrong Fitness, a lover of lifting heavy things up and down, and an educator dedicated to helping others unleash their healthiest, most empowered selves through mastering nutrition as a lifelong skill, rooted in neuroscience and psychology. To date, she's helped a whopping 3,000 women do exactly that. 

She has more than fifteen years of classroom instruction, and certifications in Personal Training, Sports Nutrition, and Behavior Modification. A true neuroscience and psychology nerd at heard, she has studied the Neuroscience of Nutrition under the renowned Dr. Nicole Avena, visiting professor of Neuroscience at Princeton University. 

Rachel is the author of the bestselling book Becoming MindStrong: The Truth About Health, Fitness, and the Bullsh*t That’s Holding You Back and podcast host of the Becoming MindStrong Podcast. 

She developed MindStrong Fitness with an inside-out approach, to focus on both physical and mental attributes in building healthy, sustainable habits.

When she’s not in the gym, Rachel enjoys exploring the world with her partner, snuggling their puppies, Gus and Frankie, eating, and thinking about the next time she'll be eating.
