She’s an incredible example of when you put your passion first, your business will naturally follow. She is transparent in how she forms her own health decisions, and that transparency and natural capacity to teach have made her a master educator in the realm of healthy eating, healthy living, and most recently, healthy parenting.

[43:15] Food for thought: what motivated your own dietary choices? Was it the science, was it how it felt, was it a prescription from somebody else, was it the government food guide or was it your mom’s way of cooking? And is there an opportunity now to elevate the type of food you’re taking into your system; moving it off of autopilot and into a state of conscious eating? And for those who have been eating a certain way for a long time, would you be willing to challenge your own eating dogma if it meant you would actually feel better? Are you interested in breaking the rules of the diet you are on, in a quest for even better health? Are you sticking to your diet because you identify with it or because it is making you feel your absolute best? Let’s continue this conversation over on The Entrepology Collective!

BADASS FUEL — Fuel for Badass Women
Scientifically Supported Ingredients | Support, Not Replacement | Non-GMO
Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation to my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics. Learn more or order the products yourself by visiting BadassFuel.com!
CALL TO ACTION
The food choices we make every single day provide an opportunity to reorient our own personal leadership over and over again. And part of leadership is acknowledging when you need to make a change (because there’s rarely one thing that is going to serve you for your entire life). Marni’s journey really speaks to this. We do not need to be dogmatic with our diets; ultimately, it is important to simply do what is best for you and makes you feel your best.
Marni and I would love to hear about what your current diet looks like and where you see there could be room for improvement. Follow-up with us on The Entrepology Collective and let us know!
