Today, I am blessed to have Dixie Huey. Dixie is the founder of Favor Fat, whose objective is to help you regain your vitality and lose fat with integrative coaching, straight talk and focus on nutrient rich, real, whole foods. She is on a metabolic mission to help people improve their health and reclaim the vitality we all deserve, one delicious nutrient-dense, authentic, whole-foods meal at a time. Eating in America is convenient, mindless, and disconnected from the pleasure and sustenance it is supposed to provide. Dixie is also the author of The Nourishment Mindset which is about eating real, whole foods to improve your health and rediscover your vitality one delicious meal at a time. Her health journey is one of acquired knowledge, personal failure, and paradox: most health coaches aren't foodies, and most international culinary marketers aren't elite athletes or have an eating disordered past. After a lengthy fight, she discovered salvation in what she feared the most: natural dietary fat. She now teaches her customers the Nourishment Mindset, which teaches them how to improve their metabolic health and lose weight while enjoying the pleasures of the table and real, entire, naturally nourishing foods. In this episode, Dixie shares her extensive knowledge about health science while relating it to her own experiences. Tune in as she discusses and answers questions about calories, losing weight vs. losing fat, workout routines, and many more!
