Hangry to Healthy

Women like you want to maintain a happy weight and excellent health without counting calories, struggling with fatigue, pushing through hunger and feeling deprived of desserts. And I'm telling you I heard this over and over and it took me 15 years to really hear it: Exercise is not a weight loss tool. Exercise is like the icing on the cake. I talk more about that in today’s podcast episode with board certified holistic nutritionist and functional nutrition, and lifestyle practitioner, Amy White.
