Today is the day, The Core 4 is officially on the shelves of your local bookstore or favorite online retailer. I am so excited about the release of my new book that I have invited my husband Z to join us today to discuss the highs and lows of writing a book, examining the programs found in The Core 4 Book and have a look to the past and the future about what is coming next. Embracing What Works Writing a book can be filled with lots of fears and insecurities, and it is my mission to show that women can be strong in spite of our misconceptions and concerns. Through this book and this episode, I hope to walk alongside you as you stop living your restrictive lifestyle and start embracing what works for your body.  I believe in setting yourself apart by persevering, moving forward and embracing your body while owning your power. The Core 4 is all about these principles, and if you would like a chance to look into the ‘making of’ process, join us on this episode and let me help facilitate you to find another way.  Have you ordered your copy of The Core 4 yet?

But its also been one of the scariest things I think that I have done.” (13:44) “When you are in it, it's so hard to see that there is another possible way of looking at things. And it doesn't mean we don't take care of ourselves, I think that's the other thing I hear, is like ‘oh well you are just going to eat whatever the fuck you want and treat yourself like a trash can’. And its lie no, that's exactly not the point.” (33:29) “I don't at all blame anybody who is stuck in this position and thinks this is all you know because I was there too. And it's just what we are taught.” (34:00) “I wanted to plant the seed that we are so much stronger and we are capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for.” (51:27) “Women are so powerful and strong and can continue to build strength late into life. And it is not only fun and cute to do that, it’s important for our health.” (55:03)   Resources Mentioned In This Show Order The Core 4 Book Here HTK 165: Craig Zielinski HTK 035: Craig Zielinski Steph Gaudreau Events  Nutritional Therapy Association Website   Check out the full show notes here!
