166: Stress, Hormones, and Health with Bri Edwards

This one is for the ladies out there….myself included. Over the past few years, I have been on a health journey. In 2015, I found strength training and really loved how my brain and body responded to weight lifting (more on that in this episode from the Re-Find miniseries of the podcast). Then, in 2018, I dove into nutrition and started paying attention to macro rations, portion sizes, and caloric deficits with the help of my friend Coach Erika at Sweat Inspire Sisterhood (hear from her in one of the very first episodes of the podcast). But in the years since, with the Covid of it all, different seasons of business, and stressful life circumstances, I've found myself at my heaviest weight ever and carrying a LOT of it in my midsection. I've been pretty vulnerable sharing about this journey on my Instagram Stories, and thankfully through the magic of social media I was able to connect with Bri Edwards, owner and integrative nutrition health coach at Healthy Foundations Dubuque. Through her proven Mind Body Nutrition Method, Bri guides women to their healthiest and most vibrant selves. Because she believes you don't have to continue looking for the next right diet. You don't have to continue looking for the next right fitness plan. You don't need to push harder. You don't need to have greater self control. You just need to unlearn and relearn the truths about your body as a woman, nutrition and how you can utilize both to transform your life. In this episode with Bri, you'll learn simple steps to set you up for success each day, ways to manage your stress levels through the foods you're eating, and how to listen to your body in order to understand what you need most. This is an episode every woman needs to hear. Key Takeaways
