Ep. 239 - Make a Commitment to Show up for Yourself with Megan Waits

Megan has what most would consider a very normal fitness journey: she was artsy and, in her words, "didn't have an athletic bone in her body." And she started lifting weights to impress her boyfriend…who is now her husband, by the way. Megan Waits is a Holistic Fitness and Nutrition Coach who empowers men and women to look good, move better, and feel great. She's done a beautiful job sifting through the nearly insurmountable amount of nutrition and fitness misinformation to help others find a clear, succinct path to look and feeling great.  In today's episode, Megan shares more about her health and fitness joureny, and how she began cultivating a healthy, thriving relationship with food (which was essential for her marriage, considering her husband is an outstanding chef! I can speak to this directly…). Furthermore, learn more about the common mistakes she sees those she works with making in the gym, in the kitchen, and with their nutrition in general.
