Episode notes

Enjoy this interesting interview from popular health coach and Instagram sensation, the Freckled Foodie, aka Cameron Rogers!

After working on Wall Street in Sales & Trading for 5 years, Cameron had a life-altering moment, and decided it was time to wave goodbye to the corporate world and pursue the Freckled Foodie full-time. Since then, she’s grown her community, worked with notable companies on creating content, helped dozens of individuals achieve a more healthy and balanced lifestyle through her health coaching practice, and developed her personality as a podcast host on Freckled Foodie & Friends. By doing all of this, she was fortunate enough to be named one of the five entrepreneurs changing New York’s wellness scene by Forbes.

In this show, Cameron goes beyond the success story of quitting Wall Street for a career in health to talk about her longtime struggle with anxiety and the coping strategies she has used successfully, and recommends to her clients. A great sound bite is that we must accept anxiety as inevitable, but figure out a way to make anxiety spur action and accomplishment. Cameron also relates an evolved approach to dietary transformation, where she encourages her clients to stay away from the stress of orthorexia by allowing occasional or regular sensible indulgences.

Cameron Rogers is not only describing her life transition of moving into the world after college, she talks about her dietary strategy that she uses in her coaching others. [01:22]

The more Cameron got into cooking, the more she became focused on how her body was impacted by what she ate and drank. [04:32]

When seeing a physician about her severe abdominal issues, she learned she had mercury poisoning as a result of some dental work! [06:14]

When she’s working with clients, looking at diet is important, but talking about how one feels when eating, while eating, and after eating are important. Are you actually paying attention to the food you eat? [24:09]
