Have you heard of hormone replacement therapy? Most of us have and unfortunately many are worried about using it. Or we just don't realize the importance.

In this episode, you will learn here how incredibly protective hormones are to women’s health. Remember that menopause is actua...

Join the Group Coaching Program HERE How you construct your meals can feel very “diety” if you are counting macros and weighing your food. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

The microbiome--what is it and why should we care? This episode will answer that for sure. For starters, consider that genetically "we are about 150 times more bacteria than we are human. We actually have at least 150 times more genes in our bacteria than we do in our human cells! So when you think about genetics and epigenetics and all the things we keep hearing about, bacteria is a big deal." That's just the first truth bomb Jared drops and there are many, many more!

Do you still think like a dieter? The goal of coaching and intentional thinking is to stop thinking like a dieter and to choose a lifestyle that works for your body and your health.
