Summary

In Episode #55, I sat down with superstar Adidas trainer Tanya Poppett to talk about her journey into the world of health and fitness. In particular, we discussed her relationship with food and exercise in her teenage years, when she felt a lot of pressure about her appearance. She shared how her challenges with body image as a teenager spurred her on to become the woman she is today. Listen to find out what Tanya thought about people following a plant-based lifestyle before making changes to her own plate, and how her change in diet was received by her partner and family. Tanya also shares her philosophy on exercise, training, and creating healthy habits, and the importance of being open minded when it comes to the way we live our lives. Enjoy, friends.
