Description

In a fitness industry saturated with misleading dieting advice and fleeting diet trends, one business is changing the narrative.
Barb Bolotte, Founder of Clean Creations, found her love for nutrition through fitness. But her path to success was challenging. After breaking free from the world of competitive modeling and its detrimental dieting habits, she found herself facing weight gain that seemed uncontrollable. Determined to make a change, Barb discovered her true calling and started Clean Creations. What began as a service helping people with competitive dieting, evolved into cooking colorful, creative, and tasty meals for delivery.
In this episode, Barb talks to Jen about pivoting from competition dieting to starting a business delivering nutritious meals, eating disorders in the fitness industry, and exciting recipes offered by Clean Creations.
