This week on the podcast I am joined by Mary Kate Lewis! Mary Kate has always been passionate about holistic health and wellness, yet she has always struggled with her weight and she felt like her weight was not in line with her holistic values.

After trying every fad diet without any luck, Mary Kate discovered intermittent fasting and not only was she able to lose a ton of weight, she was also able to naturally heal non-alcoholic fatty liver disease entirely through fasting, healthy eating, and breaking her addiction to food.

On this episode, we talk about Mary Kate's health and wellness journey, how fasting has helped her improve her health, and much more!

Enjoy!

**Please note, this is a conversation about fasting and this is not official health advice. Please consult your doctor before trying intermittent fasting.

This week on Matcha Mornings, Amanda is joined by Rachelle Shelton! Rachelle is a good friend of Amanda's and a 200-hour RYT. On this episode, Rachelle shares her journey with health and wellness, and how a positive shift in lifestyle helped her to lose weight and feel better in her body. After losing weight and receiving positive reinforcement, Rachelle began to become obsessive with her diet and exercise and it snowballed in a direction that wasn't healthy.

Through a lot of internal work, reprogramming, therapy and yoga, Rachelle has been able to shift her perspective on what it means to be healthy, how she looks at her physical body and the way that she speaks to herself.

Weight loss and healthy eating is, of course, great, until it's not and Rachelle and Amanda dive into ways that we can start shifting our perspective on what it means to be healthy, loving ourselves at all sizes, and much more. Enjoy!

This week on Matcha Mornings, Amanda is reading a chapter from Alisa Vitti's new book, "In the Flo". This section of the book is called "Meet Your Hormones", and you will do just that. We will go through the different hormones that impact our monthly cycle, and then dive into the different systems in our body that are impacted by a hormonal imbalance (hint: it's not just your endocrine system). This section also talks about how to bring these systems into harmony and balance, and how, as women, we can be more productive and healthy when we come into alignment with the natural rhythms and flows of our cycles. Enjoy!

This week on Matcha Mornings I am joined by my dear friend, Chelsey Breta. Chelsey is a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and the founder of Moon Rise Yoga.

Chelsey and I met at our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali back in 2015 and bonded over our love of cycle syncing, health and wellness, and of course, yoga. Over the years, we have had countless conversations talking about moon cycles and menstrual cycles, so it was really fun to have Chelsey on the podcast to talk about just that.

On this episode, we talk about Chelsey's health and wellness journey, how losing her cycle inspired her to get in touch with her body and encouraged her to start paying attention to her monthly cycle. We talk about the moon in the sky and how that is linked with our monthly menstrual cycle, tips for getting in touch with and syncing your moon cycle and more.

Welcome to Matcha Mornings! I’m so glad that you’ve decided to join me on this journey of holistic health and wellness, hormones, yoga and more.

On this very first episode of the podcast, I (Amanda Kingsmith) am diving into my own story around hormones, food, and yoga. I share my journey going on birth control, coming off of birth control, and having struggles with missed periods, irregular cycles, and intense premenstrual symptoms. I also share my journey struggling with body image and disordered eating as a teenager, how I discovered health and wellness and yoga, and why this topic is so important to me.
