I put together this series of shows directed at the ambitious audacious woman, the one who is craving more while doing less. Today I am talking about the Nourished Woman, going deep into changing the relationship we have with food. We are going to move away from deprivation and counting calories, and move towards how to best nourish yourself, creating a healthier foundation for your body with real food while honoring your gut, your adrenals, and your thyroids.

 

Here are the main topics of this episode:

• What’s the meaning of success?
• A meal plan can turn into the illusion that this is what is going to fix your life.
• You cannot build a successful business at the expense of your wellbeing and health.
• You have to change your lifestyle if you want to change your symptoms.
• Being fed but feeling starving.
• Allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances are interfering with your gut’s functionality.
