Do you feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information available to us today? Having answers and research available at our fingertips can be incredibly helpful, but it also brings the challenge of stress and overwhelm around deciding which voices to listen to and which changes to implement. Fallon Lee is joining me on the podcast again to tackle this complex topic, and I’m confident this conversation will be a blessing to you! We each share portions of our own journeys and our decision making criteria in hopes of helping you navigate this overwhelming information age with grace and sustainability.

When she came across the world of metabolic health, she was both amazed and a little offended that she realized she did not have to claim this identity of restrictive eating & autoimmunity for life. She could heal?! And that’s exactly what she did. Today she is walking in absolute food freedom (including dairy & gluten), she is off of all medication, & she is teaching other women that they can do the same while curating delicious recipes along the way.
