Busting Diet Myths: Why There's No One-Size-Fits-All in Nutrition

In today’s episode, I am joined by an extraordinary fitness and life coach, Sherry Shaban, to dive head-first into how you can embrace the transformative pause in your health and nutrition. 

Sherry is an extraordinary fitness and life coach, osteopath, and anti-diet health advocate from Montreal, Quebec. She is the founder of the “Fall in Love with Fitness” podcast, the HIIT Decks app, and the Make Peace with Food™️ program. 

Our autonomic nervous system significantly affects our mental and physical well-being. These two are deeply interconnected; thus, it’s important to examine ourselves to see if we’re in safety or protection mode. Recognizing these triggers allows us to influence our environment and apply various tools and exercises to recalibrate our nervous system effectively.

To shift your unhealthy habits to positive ones, I urge you to pause and seek out a supportive community and an accountability partner while cultivating an attitude of gratitude.
