The amazing Jess Ash is back on the podcast. If you don’t already follow her, go give her a follow on instagram. She is just a wealth of knowledge, she articulates everything so well.I wanted to get Jess back on the podcast to talk about the emotional side of things and how this pro-metabolic lifestyle is more than just training and nutrition. In this episode, Jess and I chat about:➡️How and why focusing on just your appearance doesn’t usually work➡️Accepting yourself as you are while trying to change things ➡️Why so many women end up with metabolic issues➡️How this process takes time (not 12 weeks)➡️Why a quick approach doesn’t work ➡️How food tracking plays such a crucial role➡️The learning process with pro-metabolic eating➡️Dealing with chronic emotional stress➡️Green vegetables and digestibility➡️Why pro-metabolic eating isn’t a 'diet'Jess also has a new course coming out which she talks about in this episode.
