Episode 57: WARRIOR WOMAN RECOVERY: BREATH, ICE + RED LIGHT with Kristin Weitzel

My guest this week is Kristin Weitzel. Kristin is a health and high performance maven, certified fitness trainer, breathwork instructor, and nutritionist with a focus on guiding women to optimal health. Taking action is her nature, coaching females to create lasting change and build stronger, healthier futures by taking full control of their biology, food, and fitness. Her achievements as a brand strategist, entrepreneur, and global marketer for Fortune 500 brands have given her the ability to travel extensively and continually discover how what we do affects how we show up in the world. Kristin also hosts the WELLPOWER Podcast which blends health and wellness subject matter expertise, inspiring guests, and Kristin's trademark wit and wisdom to lead clients and listeners alike. This podcast allows Kristin to share with a broader audience just how far we can go in the pursuit of optimal performance. As a progressive voice, dynamic leader, and active biohacking proponent, she questions how far the human body can go and helps people take it there. In this episode, Kristin and I discuss red light therapy, ice baths, leather pants and more!
