Hello everyone and welcome to the Realigned Health Podcast. I'm Maria, a health coach, public health specialist, mother, and business owner with Crohn's Disease. Today, I want to talk about my work as a coach and how my focus has shifted from just nutrition to a broader view of women's health. Initially, I worked primarily with women on nutrition and diet plans, but I realised health is much more than just macros and diet plans. My own health challenges, including a diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease, taught me the importance of a holistic approach. I ignored my condition for years until it severely affected my daily life, and then I committed to learning everything I could about health and wellbeing. Now, I'm in remission and healthier than I've been in years. Through coaching, I found that women's health issues often stem from emotional and psychological stressors, not just diet. My podcast and coaching program, the Realigned Health Method, aim to support women in achieving sustainable, long-term health by addressing the broader context of their lives. Women don't need more willpower; they need truth and a deeper understanding of their habits and behaviors. Stay tuned for more, including upcoming small group sessions.
