🎙️ In this episode, of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I'm sitting down with Charissa Halonen, a powerhouse in the world of mindset, fitness, and nutrition coaching. 💪 Charissa shares her inspiring story, starting with her journey into fitness and how it naturally evolved into mindset coaching once she realized the magic of the mind-body connection. 🧠✨

We get into some real talk about the pressures she faced growing up as a competitive dancer—everything from body image issues to the impact of her family’s self-talk on her own perception. 🩰 It’s a deep dive into how these experiences shaped her approach to wellness today.

Charissa also breaks down the difference between motivation and discipline, making it clear why discipline is the real MVP for crushing those long-term goals! 🥇 We tackle common myths about women and strength training, and Charissa sets the record straight about how lifting weights can actually boost overall health and wellness.

🎙️ In this episode of Everything's Messy Podcast, I’m getting real about how to eat healthier without losing your mind—especially if you’re a busy mom like me! 🏃‍♀️🍎

So, let’s dive in! We’ll start by talking about how to fuel your body with the right foods, even when your schedule feels like total chaos. 🌀

Next up, we take a stroll through the grocery store (virtually, of course), where I spill the beans on sneaky marketing tricks that make you reach for unhealthy options. 🛒👀 The key? Stick to those outer aisles and read labels like a pro!

I also bust some myths about eating 5-7 small meals a day—it’s not necessary for balancing blood sugar or boosting metabolism. What you really need is a solid mix of protein, fats, and complex carbs. 🍗🥑🍞

We also talk beverages and supplements: say goodbye to energy drinks and sugary juices, and hello to staying hydrated, getting better sleep, and adding essential supplements like magnesium, vitamin D, and K2 into your routine. 💦💊

Throughout it all, I emphasize the need for better education and advocacy around food quality—because let’s face it, corporate interests can really muddy the waters. 🥄 But we’ve got the power to make positive change!

Of course, it wouldn’t be Everything’s Messy without a nod to the importance of mindset and habit tracking. 📈 Celebrate the small wins, step out of your comfort zone, and remember that it’s okay to embrace the mess along the way! 🌟

Ready to make healthy eating a little less stressful? Let’s get messy! 💪🥗

🎙️ On this episode, of “Everything’s Messy Podcast”, I’m chatting with the amazing Alyssa, a fellow podcaster and functional nutrition pro who’s faced a tough journey with endometriosis. 🌿 Alyssa opens up about her long struggle with excruciating period pain and other mysterious symptoms that took years to diagnose.

We dive deep into what endometriosis actually is—an inflammatory condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing a whole lot of pain and problems. Alyssa sheds light on the potential causes, especially how the immune system might be connected.

We get real about the conventional treatments out there, like hormonal birth control and meds that just shut down the menstrual cycle without addressing what’s really going on. Alyssa then shares her personal shift to a more holistic approach that’s focused on anti-inflammatory foods and lifestyle changes. Think: cutting out gluten and dairy, adding more omega-3s, and saying bye-bye to sugar! 🥦🫐

We also tackle some big issues around modern agriculture and the way food is produced—could pesticides and GMOs be linked to rising food intolerances and conditions like endo? Alyssa believes they might be. 🌾

And of course, we talk about Alyssa's journey with fertility. Initially, she explored IVF, but she later found a natural, nutrition-based approach that’s been game-changing for her symptoms and fertility goals. Alyssa's story is one of resilience, learning, and taking charge of her health. 💪❤️
