Alexa Schirm on getting healthy, feeling great in our own skin, and real wellness.

I’m with my fantastic friend Alexa Schirm from Simple Roots Wellness today talking about how to eat healthy without it stealing our joy, how to get our bodies to burn fat and not just sugar, balancing our hormones, and what the deal is with intermittent fasting.   In this episode we discuss: How to eat healthy and not make ourselves miserable in the process    How to make your body burn fat instead of just sugar   How to change your food cravings   Why is everyone drinking bone broth and what’s the real deal with intermittent fasting   How to balance your hormones     Favorite quotes- If you can change your fuel source, then you can change your cravings. As long as you continue to try to do something you don’t enjoy, you obviously will never do it. I am on a mission to end the confusion, because there is so much confusion and overwhelm in the health world.  So how can we just break it down and actually figure out ways to make this realistic in your life so you will do it? I like to get out of the all-or-nothing mindset because there is a lot of triggers when it comes to that and a lot of people trigger past and previous trauma with food.   Bonus: After the interview join me as I answer your questions about life, faith, and business.   In this episode, I answer these questions- 1. Do you sleep? Seriously! How do you get so much done? Tell me your secrets.(35:17) 2. As Christians, is drinking alcohol ok? (39:35) 3. I have an idea for a book. How do I know if I have a good idea? (44:31)   Links to great things we discussed- Simple Roots Wellness  Nourished Planner  Antman and The Wasp  Seasons from Hillsong Spirit Break Out from Kim Walker-Smith   Hope you loved this episode!
