I'm thrilled to share this powerful episode with you, and I'm certain you'll come away moved and motivated. In this episode, I speak with Dr. Amanda Adkins, a double board-certified physician in internal and lifestyle medicine, and a health coach passionate about helping women combat chronic illnesses through plant-based diets and lifestyle changes. Dr. Adkins shares her expertise on how our personal health is not determined by our family history. Listen in as we unravel the significance of conscious lifestyle choices, particularly a whole food, plant-based diet, in preventing and reversing chronic illnesses. Dr. Adkins further illuminates the integration of faith and spirituality into her health coaching practice, offering four tenets that guide her work. Be inspired by the real-life stories from her clients who have taken control of their well-being, proving that a healthy lifestyle is indeed within our grasp.
