FASTer Way trainer Coach LeAnne Ash is today's guest sharing about eating gluten and dairy free. Gluten can trigger adverse reactions in some people because the peptides in gluten are resistant to stomach acids, making them hard to digest. Symptoms can range from mild indigestion to more serious health conditions. As for dairy…cows milk is appropriate to fatten up a child. But about 70% of the world’s adult population can’t digest dairy - leading to inflammation, autoimmune diseases, gut issues, and more. LeAnne is going to school us on how great we can feel - and how lean we can get - when we choose to bypass inflammatory foods like gluten and dairy. Here is LeAnne's favorite sourdough bread recipe: https://moonandspoonandyum.com/gluten-free-sourdough-bread/ Follow LeAnne on IG @leannemarieash.

If quirky, fun, and silly things make our lives, work, and relationships richer, why are we not adding FUN to our nutrition and fitness routines? If you look at exercise, food prep and cooking as dreaded chores, you are FAR less likely to workout and cook. But if you add some gamification, some silliness, and some fun into those things, you’ll be far more likely to do them in the first place and quite possibly start to enjoy them and feel amazing and proud that they are done! This episode will share ideas for adding some fun and silliness to your routine, habits, workouts, food prep, etc. You’d better believe you’ll be more likely to DO the hard things when you begin associating them with warm, delightful feelings.
