Far too often, our problems as women are chalked up to hormones or menstruation or just being whiny, but we know our bodies and we deserve to be listened to – especially by our medical professionals. Women’s pain just isn’t taken as seriously as men’s, and that’s a problem.   But today’s guest Bethany Holmes, AKA The Healthy B, has a story about one of her own health issues that just resonated with us so so so much. Really, it’s like a soap opera – you can almost hear Liz + Nina eating popcorn in the background!   And if you weren’t aware, Wine & Shine is now FINDING YOUR SHINE! We’ve grown a lot as people over the past two or so years and we wanted to make a change to the show to reflect that. But don’t worry – you’re still going to get the same incredible guests and the same fun conversations, all in the same place!   We Chat About: Moving from the Midwest to NYC (and then back to the Midwest) Becoming more aware of the stress in your body Being your own self-advocate Suffering through nine months of pain without anyone listening to you Going through a five-hour brain surgery What does a coach do?

Alex Mazzurco is a fitness coach and business coach who has flipped the script on what it means to eat a “healthy diet.” Because we’re all different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to being healthy! When Alex started fitness competitions, she was approaching health with a scarcity and restriction mindset – but after a long journey, she’s learned to do this work in a healthy way by focusing on nourishing her body with what it needs. From there, she’s been able to help other women live a fit lifestyle, without restricting themselves and their bodies. We Chat About: Learning how to use the gym effectively Developing health issues after an extended caloric deficit Putting blame on certain foods (and getting out of that mindset) Realizing what your body is craving What Macros are Focusing on your macros without focusing on counting calories Alex’s gut health journey #IIFYM (if it fits your macros) Developing a fear of food Stool testing It takes a while for your body to heal How social media glamorizes unhealthy practices You don’t have to stick to just one diet – use what works for your body!
