🎧 From Chronic Illness to Coaching: Coach Rachel’s Journey to Empowering Women in Health

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by lingering health issues or struggled to trust your own body, this episode is for you. 💡

Today I sat down with PCC’s newest coach, Rachel Rohr (@rohr_28) , who went from battling chronic illness to transforming her health, and now helps other women do the same. We dive into:

✅ The mindset shifts that make health & fitness sustainable

✅ Why behavior change (not just workouts & macros) is the key to lasting results

✅ How trusting yourself & celebrating small wins can build confidence

✅ The importance of advocating for your own health (because common doesn’t mean normal!)

Rachel also opens up about her current struggles with mold toxicity & hormonal imbalances… and how she’s navigating them while continuing to coach others.

🎧 Tune in now for an inspiring conversation on resilience, self-trust, and taking control of your health journey.

Many of us started our fitness journey when we were in our early teens, and began developing the foundations of our relationship with food, our health, and our bodies then.

After over 12 years of healing inside and out, I thought it was timely to write a letter to my past self, and tell her all the things I know now so she can skip the mistakes I made along the way.

For my teens and younger audience that follows me, I hope something in this hits home and changes the trajectory of your health journey and relationship with food and your body for the better. 🤗

If you’ve ever felt like you were too hard on yourself, this episode is your reminder: you were never the problem. 💙

🎧 Tune in now & let’s talk about healing, growth, and finally finding peace with food & self.

You’ve heard the hype around intermittent fasting (IF)

…but is it really the metabolism-boosting, fat-burning miracle it’s claimed to be? Or just another diet trend?

In this episode, I sit down with Grant Tinsley (@grant_tinsley_phd), a researcher specializing in time-restricted feeding (TRF) and body composition measurement, to break down:

✅ The real science behind IF & metabolism - what works and what doesn’t

✅ The difference between early vs. late TRF (and why timing might matter more than you think)

✅ How fasting impacts women vs. men

✅ The best ways to track progress - beyond just a number on a scale

🎧 Tune in now for a research-backed (but practical) take on IF, body composition, and what actually moves the needle in your fat loss journey.

If you’ve ever followed a diet plan perfectly and still didn’t get results—YOU aren’t the problem. The plan was. 🚨

I see so many high-achieving women stuck in the cycle of “just tell me what to do, and I’ll do it”—but what if the plan itself is the reason you’re stuck?

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

✅ The difference between real coaching vs. a generic program

✅ The biggest red flags to watch out for in the coaching industry

✅ How to find a coach that actually helps you make progress (not just another cookie-cutter plan)

Think about it like this: A program is just a list of instructions. Coaching? It’s having a mentor who walks with you through the process, helps you troubleshoot, and adjusts the strategy as life happens.

🚨 You don’t need another plan—you need a strategy that adjusts with you.

🎧 Tune in now, and if you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and finally get results, book a call and let’s see if coaching is the right next step for you.

Thinking About Hormone or Gut Testing? 🧪

You’ve seen the words ‘DUTCH TEST’ and ‘GI MAP’ thrown around on social media, everyone seems to be getting lab work done… people raving about how hormone and gut health tests changed their health.📈

But… do you actually know what these labs tell you?

Or how to use the results to actually feel better?

In this episode, Coach Julia and I break down the most important functional lab tests - what they measure, how we interpret them, and why lab work isn’t just about popping a bunch of supplements.💊

We’re diving into:

✅ Cortisol & adrenal health (DUTCH Test)

✅ Gut health & digestion (GI-MAP)

✅ Thyroid function & metabolism (Comprehensive Thyroid Panel)

✅ And more - like blood markers for inflammation, insulin resistance, and nutrient deficiencies.

The truth? You don’t need “perfect” labs to start feeling better.

But understanding your body’s signals is key to making real, lasting change.✨

🚨How I identified burnout & stopped living in survival mode

You tell yourself you just need more discipline.

More willpower.

A better routine.

But no matter how hard you push, your body just won’t cooperate.

Sound familiar?😩

I’ve been there.

For years, I thought I just needed to try harder to get leaner, be more successful in business…

Until my body started whispering at me… then screaming at me. 🗣

Constant fatigue😪

Losing my train of thought constantly😵‍💫

Anxiety and depressive like symptoms around my cycle😣

Painful breakouts on my face and chin🫢…

and a cycle of burnout that no amount of coffee or 8-10 hour nights of sleep could fix.🪫

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my hormonal health journey - what I thought was the problem, what was actually happening under the surface, and what finally got me back to feeling like me again.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down Western vs. Functional Medicine and why understanding this difference could be the missing piece to finally getting your health back.

✅ Western Medicine: Great for emergencies, but often reactive - focusing on treating disease after it appears, rather than preventing it.

❌ Basic lab work that only detects disease, not dysfunction.

❌ “Normal” lab ranges that ignore optimal health.

✅ Functional Medicine: Root-cause based - designed to catch imbalances before they turn into chronic symptoms.

Your fatigue, weight gain, bloating, and brain fog aren’t in your head.

They’re just not being addressed correctly.

Sound familiar?

You’re NOT broken.
