In this episode, you’ll hear:

• A listener questions how to shift their workouts to align with their Human Design

• How Human Design has influenced my evolving relationship with exercise

• Practical ways to incorporate movement and exercise into your daily routine and my favorite resource for workouts

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• How my approach to eating for energy has evolved through the lens of Human Design

• The two markers I look to for red flags in my health

• A recent 3rd Line experiment I’ve had in curating a 10-day detox program to shape what eating for energy looks like for me

In this episode, I’m answering a listener's question - Are we meant to enjoy the sweet life?

As someone with a Splenic Authority, you’ll hear me talk about the Spleen and its relation to “the sweet life,” and as a 21-Day Sugar Detox Coach, the importance of satisfying our sweet tooth and healing with whole foods. I discuss the importance of balance and even share the backstory of how “balance” is the backbone of Live FAB Life.

Returning to the show is friend-of-the-program and clinical nutritionist, Melinda Staehling.

Melinda recently joined me in Episode 220: Developing Self-Trust and Leadership through Human Design and Intuitive Eating.

(She was also a guest in Episode 041: How to Start A Meditation Practice and Episode 046: Gray-Area Drinking and Sobriety).

In this episode, we continue our conversation on trusting our intuition and stepping into a self-leadership role in our healing journeys.

Melinda shares her 17+ year struggle with migraine and how her approach to treating them has evolved over the years.

She shares:

• Why migraine is a women’s health issue

• Why and how she takes an integrative approach

• Why only focusing on the physical aspects of pain is an incomplete conversation

• How she’s chosen to reframe her relationship with pain and the tools that have helped her do so

Joining me in Episode 220 is Melinda Staehling. Melinda joined me way back in Episodes 041 on meditation and 046 on gray-area drinking. Since then, in true Manifesting Generator form, she’s made a complete career change going from a career in the restaurant industry to now as a Clinical Nutritionist and NASM personal trainer.

My curiosity was piqued when Melinda recently started a book club on Intuitive Eating. I’ve always been fascinated with Intuitive Eating because I didn’t know how to trust my intuition enough to practice it. I didn’t have the self-confidence to trust myself and my decision-making.

In this episode you'll hear us discuss:

• What is Intuitive Eating

• As a clinical nutritionist, why she advocates it

• Intuition x Intuitive Eating

• The relationship between intuition and Human Design

• How we can develop self-trust and step into a self-leadership role through Intuitive Eating and Human Design

I recently put a call out to my Instagram community for requests on topics for future episodes. One topic that came up was how to make wellness more inclusive.

It’s a vast topic given the variety of things that fall into the wellness space. I certainly don’t have all the answers, but I do believe that we can find empowerment when we become leaders in our own health care.

In this solo episode, I share why I take an integrative approach to wellness, marrying science with holistic practices, and how I found empowerment through education, taking a leadership role in my health.

Functional Nutrition is an approach where you address not just WHAT you’re experiencing, but WHY. What’s the environment that’s created your condition(s)?

In Part 2 of this 3-part mini-series on addressing burnout, I walk you through how to use the tools of Functional Nutrition to explore YOUR antecedents, triggers, and meditators (ATMs) and construct YOUR big picture to understand WHY you’re experiencing burnout.

I walk you through the methods I use to help myself (and others) recover from burnout.

There’s never a one-size-fits-all solution, but this approach helps you create one that works for you!

They say that the best coaches have coaches and today we’re joined by *my* coach, Dr. Jacqueline Bouley Price (@livewellwithjacqueline)! Dr. Jacqueline is a chiropractor & certified holistic health coach who helps her clients find more balance on and off their plates.

After years of struggling with food and weight loss, she finally learned how to fuel her body and manage her weight without feeling restricted. To date, she has coached hundreds of happy clients who were able to change their habits and find a better relationship with their food and their bodies.

In this episode you’ll hear us discuss:

• Why Dr. Jacqueline went from chiropractor to health coach

• How she and her clients (myself included) have managed through the COVID-19 pandemic #realtalk

• Her unique approach to macros and her BEST tips (they truly are) for taking a holistic approach to macros

• And so. much. more!

Seriously, we had so much fun chatting about all the things, we could’ve talked for hours (these are my most favorite kind of episodes to do!).

As a health coach, I’ve had my fair share of challenges in my health.

Back in 2004, I first ventured into (what I perceived to be) healthy eating and was dogmatic in counting every calories that came my way. Years later I struggled with a variety of digestive conditions and poor gut health.

Along the way I’ve experimented with a variety of nutritional therapies and have come to learn that not all of them have the same effect, nor are they suited for the long-term, and, depending on one’s approach, can end up doing more harm than good.

In this episode, I share how I’ve adapted to the shifting nutritional needs that my body has required through different phases of my life.

You’ll hear me discuss:

• My health journey from weight loss to fueling for endurance training to repairing my gut health

• The aha moment when my weight plateaued

• How I’ve come full circle with macros
