Ep. 209 Mom on a Mission: How Coach MacKenzie Overcame Hormonal Imbalances to Create Generational Change

We can't wait to share an interview that's long overdue with a new coach to Vital Spark, Coach MacKenzie! MacKenzie joined our team late summer 2024. She came to us with an impressive resume: a Bachelors in Exercise Science, Masters in Kinesiology, and Masters in Nursing, and a combined 9 years of experience as a Labor & Delivery Nurse, Athletic Trainer, and as an Online Coach!⁣ But she doesn’t just have the knowledge and experience, she has walked the walk!⁣ Years of a demanding nursing schedule on top of having kids left her with severe hormonal imbalances, no longer looking and feeling like the athlete she had always been.⁣ Once she discovered functional health, her entire world changed! Now she lives the crazy life of being a working mom to 7-year-old Raelynn and 5-year-old Cayden, coaching Raelynn’s softball team where they live outside of Nashville TN, managing a household with 2 dogs, and still maintaining her own health & fitness!⁣  I’m so excited for her to share her story with you all, so you can find out why she is such a loved coach on our tea Time Stamps: (1:32) Mckenzie’s Background (4:05) Pursuing Athletic Training (6:32) Dreamed Working In Baseball (10:09) Shifting To Nursing School (13:42) Becoming A Mom (16:12) Going Through The FLUSH Protocol (23:30) Shifting Into Coaching (26:32) You’re Right About Your Body (28:12) Where To Find---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women’s Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we’ll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?
