In this week’s Creative Magic Club episode I speak to Mandy Podlesny about how she shifted her relationship with food and nutrition to heal chronic pain and inflammation.
She shares how to take our power back from unsupportive dynamics in our relationship with food and how to embody a mindset that ensures we can successfully reach our health goals without feeling like we have to sacrifice.
So good – check it out!
Starting college, dating, and meeting new friends is what Mandy Podlesny had in mind for her coming of age story. Instead, she was spending time in between classes at doctors’ offices, taking medications, having surgery, or filing insurance claims.
While medical professionals shrugged at her mysterious symptoms and told her “it’s just something you’ll have to live with”, Mandy constantly jumped at the chance to try the latest supplement and detox, even attempting several diet trends claiming to reduce inflammation. Still, something didn’t feel quite right, and Mandy’s life would never be the same as she began what turned out to be a 12-year uphill battle. Recovery isn’t always easy or pretty, but after undergoing five surgeries over the course of two years, she knew there had to be more to this life.
Through rigorous exploration and bio-hacking, Mandy discovered the healing power of ketosis, shifts in her thinking, dietary choices, and lifestyle changes for chronic illness. With her health beginning to improve, she felt an intense desire to give back and help eliminate some of the guesswork. Since 2016, Mandy has helped others visualize their own roadmaps of success, whether they are Keto or Burrito, to drop the weight and fix their relationship with food–all while learning to love themselves, exactly as they are. When she isn’t busy showing others that optimal health doesn’t have to be complicated or out of reach, you can find Mandy practicing her backswing for the golf league she’s in!
