Happiness through Hardship

Have you ever been on prescription medication or a new medical treatment with weight gain as one of the side effects? This week on "Happiness through Hardship" - The Podcast, join me and guest, Nediva Monroe, in a conversation about managing weight and improving overall wellness while dealing with health issues. Nediva is a mother of three, an accountant as well as a six year breast cancer survivor with a beautiful success story about losing weight as well as embracing wellness to help her heal. Nediva is full of inspiration - sharing how she first followed a vegan diet though ultimately choosing a whole-foods plant-based one instead. Her wellness story isn't just focused on food; she also increased her fitness efforts. Nediva looks at wellness as a lifestyle, yet also lets herself enjoy a little Chick-Fil-A from time-to-time. Her focus of 80/20 living has truly changed her life and she shares detailed information including the ingredients of her daily smoothie, favorite place to buy reasonably priced organic food and tips on Intermittent Fasting. We have a lot of fun chatting as if we've been friends for years. I hope you enjoy it, as well. AND, if you like this episode, please share with your friends and rate, review and subscribe.
