Krista Scott-Dixon, PHD and the Designer of Curriculum at Precision Nutrition (PN). She earned her doctorate in Women's Studies from York University. She holds counseling certifications from George Brown College and Leading Edge Training, which is certified by the Canadian Psychological Association. Currently, she's pursuing a master's degree in Counseling Psychology at Yorkville University in New Brunswick, Canada.

I first learned of the work Krista was doing to help real people with real lives understand, embrace, and master the complex issues of nutrition, health, and lifestyle improvement after listening to her podcast on Boom Boom Performance with Cody McBroom. Afterwards the first thing I did was buy her book "Why Me Want Eat" which is for people struggling with food, eating, and body image issues and tackles the concept of disordered eating from a more informal, real-life angle. Part self-exploration guide, part nutrition advice, part workbook, part manifesto, part instruction manual for life. For me this book gave me direction to what my next step was going to be to overcome my eating disorder but was also extremely comforting to know that other people experience these feelings and I am not alone.

So guys if there was ever one to share please make it this one, if you enjoy this episode screen shot and share it on your Instagram stories, tag myself @coachdarianbates and Krista @stumptuous and I will personally thank you for doing so.

In this episode Stef Jung and I discuss her journey through a destructive relationship with food and body and her struggles with bulimia and all the nasty grey areas in between.

Together we discuss Poliquins Fat Mapping Principles. The BioSignature Modulation created by Poliquin, is a method based on the correlation between body fat distribution and possible hormonal imbalances. Hormonal imbalances are often the culprit of stubborn body fat storage and other health concerns such as poor sleep, low energy, impaired cognitive function, and more. Lan and I address these potential imbalances using nutrient supplementation, training and lifestyle modifications to improve body composition and overall well-being.

She centres her clinical practice around supporting women to navigate their hormones, menstrual cycles and fertility using a combination of education (all the womens health info you didn't get in high school), acupuncture, herbal medicine, diet and lifestyle support.

Lauren believes every woman has the right to know how her body works, and what she can do to optimise not only her reproductive health, but whole body health. Lauren sees firsthand in clinic everyday the dramatic improvements that can be made to reproductive health through simple, inexpensive, non invasive techniques and firmly believes life interrupting periods and menstrual cycles can be a thing of the past.
