#214 Is your diet the stressor? Shame cycle, IF, getting swole, ruining metabolism and what to do about it with Noelle Tarr, NTP, CPT

I polled people on IG last month and almost 80% of people that saw my story said they felt like they have food sensitivities. So, that’s a problem because once you dive into the intricacies of that there is a lot of nuances.

So to help with this & answer the question I get in so many different flavors each week, I’m hosting a live training and Q&A session called “What should I eat? Answering your questions about food reactions and inflammation”.

Along the theme of food, this week on the Less Stress Life Podcast, I talk to Noelle Tarr of Coconuts and Kettlebells about diet stressors. Is your diet stressing you out? Noelle candidly shares her personal story of chasing fitness and the mental mindset mistakes and how that has shaped what she does in her personal and professional life.

Most importantly, Noelle shares tips on how to change your mindset and reverse the shame cycle.
