About this episode

Natasha discusses the importance of a holistic approach to health and nutrition, emphasizing lifestyle factors and ancestral diets.

Natasha believes that healthy is a lifestyle and not just a diet that can be handed to you. Where, how and when we eat can have just as much of an effect as what we eat. Addressing things like circadian rhythms, cycle timing, nervous system tone, mindset, sleep - is where she has seen coaching make huge shifts, especially when it comes to women who have daily, weekly and hormonal monthly variations. After graduating as a Holistic Nutritionist in 2010 and as a practicing Metabolic Health Coach, Natasha realized health is not a one size fits all approach. By addressing metabolism, getting back to giving ourselves what we evolved to eat, moving the way we are intended to move, and taking our health into our own hands - life opens up and really begins to shine.
