Just a few months ago, when she first came to us, she was a busy rural family physician, mom of two, and longtime runner who loved exercise, but struggled to find the right structure for her strength training and nutrition. She wanted to get stronger, fuel her body better, and move away from the perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking that had shaped her relationship with food. Today, Jade is stronger and more confident than ever, from comfortably using a squat rack to carrying her 70-pound daughter to bed and training for her first half marathon since having kids. In this episode, we sit down with Jade and her coach Dan to unpack her transformation, what finally clicked, and how she's built an approach to fitness and nutrition that works with her incredibly busy life.--💪 Click here to learn more about The Fit Physician CoachingMentioned in this episode:July 2026 C2A Midroll
