In this episode I'm chatting with Jessica Christin, a Denver-based Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Women's Health Coach.  After years of struggling with her body image and dieting Jess decided she no longer wanted to live a life that was consumed by food and exercise.  She did the work to heal from the inside out and finally found a balance that has allowed her to create a life & body she loves. Jess now supports other women in finding this freedom using her 90 day Liberated Woman coaching program where she walks  through the 6 pillars she has found to be essential for finding true self-respect and food freedom.  This program is designed to help women who are ready to trade in their food, fitness and body stress so they can feel confident & sexy in a body they love. In this episode, Jessica shares her personal history with overexercising and undereating and how that affected her hormones and gut health in the long run. Jess discusses how her body image shifted over the years, what it was like giving up running, and how she overcame Hypothalamic Amenorrhea. She  also talks about how she got rid of her bloating, different diets she's tried over the years, how limiting beliefs were related to her health struggles, how stress management affects hormones and gut health, and much more.
