The Art of Living Proactively (Harnessing the Power of Your Choices)

Habits & Health episode 4 with Shannon Beer who is a certified nutritionist and dietitician. After completing her law degree she decided to switch paths to become a nutrition professional and explore more of the world. Spending the past two years living out of a suitcase has lead her to Vietnam, Thailand, Bali, Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast, LA, Singapore, Dublin, Italy, Hong Kong, Japan, London, Florida, New Orleans, New York and Hawaii, and has given Shannon a unique perspective on health, fitness, and what it means to live a fulfilling and enjoyable lifestyle. She believes that our training and nutrition should enhance our life, not consume it, and health is about far more than simply aesthetics and performance (although that's nice too). We discuss various aspects of health including: Body image Habits The difference between nutrition coaches, a nutritionist and a dietitician Reading habits and how to get the most from what you read Motivational interviewing Her framework of Comprehensive Coaching Links https://www.shannonlbeer.com/ https://www.instagram.com/shannonbeer_/ https://www.btgcomprehensivecoaching.com/   Shannon's Body image webinar series: https://www.shannonlbeer.com/product-page/body-image-webinar-series   Habits & Health links: Website Facebook Group Twitter Instagram LinkedIn YouTube How to leave a podcast review Details of online workshops to create habits for health Are you in control of your habits or are they in control of you?
