The Jessie Golden Podcast

In this episode, I’m joined by neuroscience health coach, Alyssa Chang. With the Health and Fitness industry currently saturated with quick fix and cookie cutter approaches, she aims to challenge these norms as a Neuroscience Health Coach. 

Neuroscience Health Coaching involves deeply understanding the inner workings of the nervous system and its role in how it governs how we think, feel, move, behave and live. This scientific and compassionate approach focuses on training the brain to give options back to the body, so healing feels both sustainable and possible again.

Ultimately, she trusts you as the expert and believes we house the tools within our own brain and body to heal ourselves. We cover:

• The most common symptoms of nervous system dysregulation Alyssa sees with clients.
• How to navigate low exercise tolerance.
• The biggest factor in her healing her metabolism after gaining 60 lbs after a physique competition.
• How she learned that cardio was hurting her.
• Her message to women who want to push their bodies with extreme diets or exercise.
• How men and women respond differently to intermittent fasting & stress.
• And so much more!
