In today's episode, Emily has friend Rachel Scheer on. Rachel is a nutritionist and helps people optimize their hormones, gut health, and body comp through her functional medicine practice. She is also the host of the Scheer Madness Podcast. As a competitor, and with her education, Rachel has a wealth of experience and she has been bridging the gap between body building/competing and holistic or functional medicine with her expertise in those areas. The ladies jump right into Rachel’s process when helping her clients. She talks about gut issues, hormonal imbalances, nutrition,  and prioritizing the internal side of health instead of just the aesthetics. The two ladies discuss how past trauma, lack of sleep, and more, can cause major setbacks when trying to reach your health and fitness goals. Rachel dives into these topics to provide insight in this very educational episode.   Follow Rachel on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelscheer/ Nutrition Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelscheernutrition/   SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE Coaching & Mentorship: https://linktr.ee/evolvex  All my links: https://linktr.ee/emilyhayden Instagram | YouTube  My favorite supplements www.1stphorm.com/EmilyHaydenFitness Bay Breeze music courtesy of the artist, FortyThr33
