Summary
Welcome to a new episode of the Nutrition and Life podcast! Today, our host, Lisa, is joined by Maddie Hawley, a registered dietitian, personal trainer, and coach, who’s passionate about helping women find balance, food freedom, and confidence through an integrative approach to wellness. In this episode, Maddie opens up about her own journey from burnout in the corporate world to building her own coaching business, and shares practical tools for achieving client consistency, embracing the "gray area," and getting results that last. Lisa and Maddie dig deep into how to avoid the all-or-nothing mentality with nutrition, why “perfect” tracking isn’t always the answer, the importance of periodizing your nutrition, and ways to foster true flexibility in your health journey. If you’re tired of rigid dieting, want to understand reverse dieting, or are searching for habits that actually fit your real life, you don’t want to miss this power-packed conversation!
