#89: Personal Integrity, Your Dream Life, with Lauren Handel Zander
Full video interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VbQncRMA_ug (direct link) or tinyurl.com/FOWyoutube (our channel)

Brief Summary, Guest Bio:
Today's guest is my new Life Coach, Lauren Handel Zander. She wasn't my coach yet during this interview (first time we met). I took this personal challenge on because I knew that if I didn’t do something differently (like work with a No-BS coach who tells it to you straight) then I’d be stuck where I was at…which was overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time, stressed and detached, insecure, misunderstood, and lonely.

Lauren Handel Zander is the author of Maybe It's You: Cut the Crap, Face Your Fears, Love Your Life. She specializes in waking people up to dream big and start living true to themselves. Lauren co-founded Handel Group, a multi-million executive life coaching business with 60 employees, and her Handel method is taught at MIT, Stanford Graduate School of Business, and NYU. She personally works to transform the lives of CEOs, celebrities, and clients across the country. She coaches Dr Mark Hyman and actor Hugh Jackman (he says Lauren is to thank for his success with The Greatest Showman) too.

Are you ready to do the tough inner work and use Lauren's method to realize your dream life? Try Lauren's online program called Inner.U (I'm doing it too!). There's a pandemic discount of 50% off right now 8/18/20, and my discount code gets you an extra $75 off.

#88: Fasting for Adult ADD/ADHD and Mental Energy
(full video of this episode/interview here: https://youtu.be/-wnG91Ewnwg or tinyurl.com/FOWyoutube)
Brief Summary and Bio:
Today I’m sharing the interview I had on The Fasting for Freedom Summit in early 2020, where I shared my theory on Intermittent Fasting for the ADHD Adult and Distracted Brains. We discuss my own ADHD diagnosis, how our brains differ from neurotypical brains, and how fasting helps me with mental energy. I go into more of the supporting evidence I have collected over time, and I also share my brain mapping results with Dr. Sam Effarah which demonstrated that my ADD symptoms were indeed worse after I broke my fast.
You’ll want to listen to this one no matter who you are because it really is incredible all the benefits we gain from fasting, and the way it improves mental energy is undeniable.

Host: Marisa Moon is a Certified Primal Health Coach and host of The Foundation of Wellness podcast. Marisa fuses together health coaching and life coaching to provide unique insights with a personable approach—all of which is inspired by the principles of ancestral health. Her distinctive coaching style is totally relatable, and it helps others put an end to the confusion about what’s healthy today and finally achieve results that last. Marisa is becoming known for her flexible Intermittent Fasting approach, and she shares this in her online course Intermittent Fasting Freedom, and on the LIFE Fasting Tracker mobile app.

Brief Summary & Bio:
