Nutrition, Body Composition & What I’ve Learned Through My Journey With Weight Management

Nutrition, Body Composition & What I’ve Learned Through My Journey With Weight Management

Author: Tracey Benson August 18, 2020 Duration: 25:39

I’ve recently been reflecting on my relationship with health and nutrition. Throughout my life, my mindset surrounding food intake and weight management has fluctuated and evolved to where it is now. It’s also been heavily influenced by the experiences I went through in my later years when first starting out to develop my Real Estate Brokerage business. 


In this episode, I’ll be discussing how the changes in my body have affected my own perception, how the knowledge I’ve gained about nutrition in a more holistic sense has shifted the way I think about what I put in my body, and why the way we feel is so much more important than any number on a scale.
