They say that the best coaches have coaches and today we’re joined by *my* coach, Dr. Jacqueline Bouley Price (@livewellwithjacqueline)! Dr. Jacqueline is a chiropractor & certified holistic health coach who helps her clients find more balance on and off their plates.

After years of struggling with food and weight loss, she finally learned how to fuel her body and manage her weight without feeling restricted. To date, she has coached hundreds of happy clients who were able to change their habits and find a better relationship with their food and their bodies.

In this episode you’ll hear us discuss:

• Why Dr. Jacqueline went from chiropractor to health coach

• How she and her clients (myself included) have managed through the COVID-19 pandemic #realtalk

• Her unique approach to macros and her BEST tips (they truly are) for taking a holistic approach to macros

• And so. much. more!

Seriously, we had so much fun chatting about all the things, we could’ve talked for hours (these are my most favorite kind of episodes to do!).

As a health coach, I’ve had my fair share of challenges in my health.

Back in 2004, I first ventured into (what I perceived to be) healthy eating and was dogmatic in counting every calories that came my way. Years later I struggled with a variety of digestive conditions and poor gut health.

Along the way I’ve experimented with a variety of nutritional therapies and have come to learn that not all of them have the same effect, nor are they suited for the long-term, and, depending on one’s approach, can end up doing more harm than good.

In this episode, I share how I’ve adapted to the shifting nutritional needs that my body has required through different phases of my life.

You’ll hear me discuss:

• My health journey from weight loss to fueling for endurance training to repairing my gut health

• The aha moment when my weight plateaued

• How I’ve come full circle with macros

If you’ve ever tried macros eating and/or mindful, intuitive eating, then you know that these two approaches are on opposite ends of the spectrum. And to most of us, they don’t typically go together.

That is unless you’re Katie Garces. 

Katie is a Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who focuses on a “real foods framework” to maximize health. Katie blends her professional background in traditional healthcare, wellness, and nutrition, with her passion for the healing power of spiritual wholeness to provide customized advice and life balance solutions for women.

She also believes that macros and mindful eating can be blended together and offers this service in her practice.

In this episode, we examine how she brings these two vastly different approaches together simply and sensibly. We discuss how slight tweaks to your macros can have profound effects and the role and impact that body wisdom, curiosity, and even nutrient density can play.
