VP#87: From Gnarly to Powerful! Health Coach & "Aging Powerfully" Author Nan Simonsen on Reovering from Trauma, Breaking  Out of Bulimia, and Coming Into Her Own Power


Listen Later

Nan Simonsen is a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and the author of Aging Powerfully: Accept Your Past and Take Control of Your Future. Many of us think of eating disorders as something that teenagers and young women wrestle with and naturally "outgrow" – but that’s not always the case. Shrouded by feelings of abandonment, inferiority, and self-loathing throughout adolescence, Nan developed an eating disorder that would stay with her into adulthood. She carried that secret for decades, until she found her way out of pain and self-sabotage by feeding her body - and her microbiome - the right foods.

Part memoir and part self-help book, Aging Powerfully explains the steps that Nan took to not only break free, but to step out on a path to aging with power. She offers a wealth of straightforward and powerful lifestyle modification that anyone can adopt. In this intimate conversation, Nan speaks honestly and vulnerably about her own challenges and how she overcame them in a way that I found truly inspiring and empowering. I think you will, too!
