Ran myself into the ground in corporate for a decade before healing my insomnia, PCOS, high cortisol, and gut issues. From there, I helped family and friends heal after going back to school for integrative health to become a practitioner. Quit my job as a digital director at a publicly traded company when my side hustle scaled too fast. Now I've helped over 200 women heal.Website: https://chelseamcleod.com/freebie - busy girl guide to hormonal weight loss https://chelseamcleod.com/busy-girl-guideIG: https://www.instagram.com/healthywithchels/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-not-you-its-your-hormones/id1799354267 Connect with Heather Allmendinger!Freebies: https://linktr.ee/vivydusWebsite: https://vivydus.com/podcast/FB Group: https://facebook.com/groups/611487486871608/FB Personal: https://www.facebook.com/heather.m.allmendingerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivydus/Website: https://vivydus.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hmallmendinger/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@VivydusPolkaDot Powerhouse: https://www.polkadotpowerhouse.com/referral?atid=10634Amazon Author Page: https://amzn.to/3Dpf8nwAs an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
