Connect with Natalia:
Eradicating old habits is a tough challenge; it doesn't sound logical, but we keep doing the things we know aren't good for us. The good news? There is no better time to try changing our habits than the next hour, meal, or day. The best time to change is any time; please keep that phrase close to your heart.
Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Natalia García back to the show. Natalia owns Functional Nutrition and Wellness and is a Registered Dietitian, Functional Nutritionist, Food and Health Coach, Healthy Food Lover, and multi-certified nutrition and wellness professional. In her first appearance in the show, we learned about Natalia's journey into health and nutrition and the story of how she transformed herself after a full-blown eating disorder almost claimed her life.
In this episode, Natalia guides us through a more compassionate and practical look at health and fitness New Year's resolutions. She shares her thoughts on the all-or-nothing approach to dieting and exercising, the best way to turn small changes into habits, and where most people fail when setting and going through their New Year's resolutions.
Additionally, Natalia debunks the myths about protein, fat, and carbs consumption, explains eating habits' sustainability, the truth about weight and numbers no one is telling you, and more.
