Episode 225: The Intersection of Fitness, Stress, and Nutrition: A Conversation with Expert Jenny the Nutritionist

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, Jenny the nutritionist and I tackle the issue of body image identity, discussing strategies to help clients fine-tune their shape and aim for small adjustments over time. We discuss Jenny's insights into managing stress with nutrition, natural herbs, breathwork, and meditation. Be prepared to walk away from this interaction equipped with invaluable knowledge to help you, and your clients, achieve your health and fitness goals in a balanced, sustainable way.

This podcast is brought to you by the Physiologic Flexibility Certification course. In the course, which opens again on September 18, 2023, I talk about the body’s homeostatic regulators and how you can train them. The benefit is enhanced recovery and greater robustness. We cover breathing techniques, CWI, sauna, HIIT, diet, and more.
