Today's episode covers the ins and outs of body composition testing. Body composition testing is a way we can estimate the amount of muscle mass and fat mass someone has. Brooke and I do some "nerdy talking" in this episode explaining the various tests used to measure body composition, pros and cons of each test, and give you some take aways to consider if you perform any of these tests for yourself. We also go over the results from my own body composition test that Brooke did for me a few weeks ago.

Today's episode is for anyone on a healing journey and focused on restoring health.

Won Dolegowski, a business owner, coach, competitor, mom and go getter who found herself last year exhausted, gaining weight despite working out and and dieting;  irritable, not sleeping, zero libido, struggling with horrible PMS and poor gut health.....at a health rock bottom - and knew something has to change. Today she shares how she was able to let go of old habits and commit to doing the hard things, working with a coach and trusting the process that she knew were necessary to heal her body from years of being  .

It's not easy to pause, to stop the grind, to focus on slowing down, maybe exercising less, sleeping more, eating more or eating differently, setting boundaries, lowering stress, gaining weight for your health etc. Won is an amazing role model for anyone going through this journey,  showing that the process does work-  if you work it. It's definitely hard to trust the process, but I hope in today's episode you can hear from someone who's gone through it, and know it can work for you too.

If you are struggling with hormone imbalances, poor digestion, no libido, irregular menstrual cycles as a female, low energy... it may be time for a health phase where we focus on doing the things discussed in today's episode and previous episodes.

Today's episode is with Anthony Spada, coach and owner of Symbiote Strength. Symbiote means: a bond between 2 people that brings upon super human abilities, and within Anthony's background, and his passion for helping others, he for sure is doing just that!
In Today's show, we hear about some of the dark places Anthony has been in his life, and how he eventually broke through what was keeping him stuck, and served as a catalyst to get him to where he is today.
