S1 E0: Welcome to the Fueled and Free Prodcast!
Welcome to the Fueled & Free Podcast!
Hi friends!!
I’m Margaret, a holistic nutritionist, and I’m also in training for the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN) program. I currently have a virtual practice in which I help women struggling with gut issues, hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, recovering from birth control, and more.
This podcast will be a place where we will dig in and have very thought-provoking conversations on all kinds of health-related topics. Expect to hear about ditching diet culture, mastering our hormones, biohacking for energy and longevity, finding balance in the wellness world, and more.
Make sure to follow the Fueled & Free Podcast on your favorite listening platform so you never miss a new episode (releasing every Wednesday). I can’t wait to bring you on this journey with me, and I look forward to connecting with you more!
