Ep. 011 Brandi B

Brandi is an English and journalism teacher for a High School in Nebraska where she also coaches unified sports.

She and her husband, also a school teacher and coach, have a passion for fostering dogs along with the 3 dogs of their own. In her free time - as if she wasn't doing a ton already - Brandi also wears an instructor hat teaching Kickboxing classes.

As you can imagine, Brandi was already keen on eating "healthy" and she was quite active and "fit". So, her reason for working with Copper State FIT was not to lose weight.

Instead, Brandi was looking for someone to guide her in optimizing her health through nutrition as she navigated the "mine-field" of her rare disease called EoE (Eosinophilic Esophagitis).

For Brandi, living with EoE meant living with allergies to the majority of foods she was accustom to eating. She felt overwhelmed, defeated and stuck! She knew that the restrictions of food choices also meant restrictions in vital nutrients that her body needed.

To be honest, EoE was new for Copper State FIT too! Brandi was the first which made it SUPER fun and challenging for her coach and our team.

Now, after working with Copper State FIT for the last 2 and a half years, Brandi has learned exactly what foods to eat to fuel her body without flaring up her EoE and she is thriving!

I'd love for you to listen to Brandi share her experience of working with Copper State FIT and learning to manage life with EoE.
