134. Pandemic Weight Gain Persistence + The Power of Coaching with Janet Hunter (listener and new health coach!)

Weight loss isn't a typical topic here on Wellness While Walking. Perhaps you've heard the advice to "eat less, move more," in order to shed unwanted pounds. Even if that worked for all (hint: it doesn't), not having laid the proper foundation first dooms it from the start. Let's dive in a bit today, to find out what other ingredients are key if we're hoping to lose the still-present Quarantine 15, or simply take the next step on our health journey. And speaking of journeys, please welcome show listener and newly-minted health coach, Janet Hunter – you'll want to hear about Janet's health journey for sure! LET'S TALK THE WALK!
