We are talking all things Pre/Post Menopause in reference to eating.  She works with women recovering from a life of diet, so many of us are working hard to change our default programming in regard to diets. She breaks down what a diet cycle is and how it relates to women during this time. We talk about the actual definition of pre/post menopause.

While I prefer to keep the podcast educational and inspirational, this episode is me sharing my personal experience with you. My personal experience with disordered eating and a dysfunctional relationship with exercise. While I don't recognize that person any more and I have evolved into someone new, that experience shaped me and is why I am so passionate about what I do today.  Thanks in advance for letting me share my experience with you.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/heresthedealwithkylie/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heresthedealwithkylie/support

Today on Far From Perfect, I’m talking to Dr. Jen Horton, who started her career in family medicine and eventually shifted her focus to functional medicine. Dr, Jen also speaks regularly to our LTGL VIP  group & I’ve been dying to get her on the podcast. Today we are talking about Pillars of health, sleep being a huge one and what we can do to better it. We also chat about alcohol and it’s effects on our sleep and gut. Then we talk all about gut health and how important it is to our whole body. I really think after listening to this podcast you’re going to want more information and to book an apt with Dr. Jen. You can do that through her website @ www.drjenniferhorton.com  About Dr. Jen: After practicing for 16 years in the traditional model of health care, I felt my days were spent putting out fires and giving out band-aids. So much of what I saw every day in my patients is actually preventable, or at least modifiable by diving deep into meaningful lifestyle modification. Telling a woman to, “manage your stress…lose weight and eat healthy…” without the HOW and WHY seemed incomplete. So in 2016, I began to explore holistic approaches through functional/integrative medicine. This is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/heresthedealwithkylie/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heresthedealwithkylie/support

Alex Kuisis was wrongfully accused of sexually mishandling a child in her care. This sounds like an episode of Law & Order SVU, but it was a real life event for Alex. For almost three years, she was in a battle to prove her innocence.  I know Alex in real life and knowing that something like this happened to her, opened my eyes to the fact that something like this could happen to anyone. In her memoir, Truth Wins, Love Matters: a memoir of choosing faith over fear in the face of false accusations, she explains in detail what happened to her and how.  Today on the podcast we get into what she was thinking and feeling and how something like this could happen, even to the LEAST suspecting person on the earth. She shines a light on some issues with our judicial system and gives us an idea of what something like this costs a person. This sounds unbelievable, but Alex lived through it.  This best-selling book is a must read. Grab it on Amazon or from your local bookstore.  Connect with Alex on Instagram at : https://www.instagram.com/soulfitnesscoaching/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/heresthedealwithkylie/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heresthedealwithkylie/support

Look, we all do it! Even me! The LTGL coaches and I had a fun time putting this list together. Check it out for a little "real talk" regarding what we tell ourselves when we feel like we're not reaching our goals. . As humans we are so smart, we can rationalize anything!
