The gift for me with these auto-new conditions is that I have to slow down.

And when I slow down, my body responds really well to that.

My flares are much worse and I, for the most part, feel really, really good.

When it came to eating and dieting, I couldn't do it.

I interviewed over a thousand women and I said, what did you do? Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What did

you eat? How'd you do it? If you want to learn how to lose weight for life through intermittent

fasting, burn fat, and break the bondage of food, then this podcast is for you.

I'm Chantelle Ray, author of Waste Away, the Chantel Ray Way, and each week I have different guests

answering your questions.

Remember, the thoughts and opinions in this podcast do not constitute medical advice.

Hey guys, welcome to this week's episode, and I'm so excited for our next guest.

She is a functional medicine certified health coach.

She's one of the world's first national board certified health and wellness coaches and the founder of Root of Wellbeing, which I love, love, love that title.

Welcome, Heather Ardima.

Thank you.

I'm just delighted to be here.

Thanks so much.

So tell us, I know that you have had your own share of health struggles.

And I feel like everybody who's so passionate about health and wellness, they themselves

started with some kind of issue that they've kind of figured out.

And now they want to share that with the world.

So talk to us about your own personal experience and how that led to the start of root of well-being.
