221 // Simplify Exercise and Nutrition and Be Consistent as an Overwhelmed Mom - with Rachel DeSonier from the Effective Weight Loss for Moms Podcast

Happy New Year! If you want to improve your fitness and nutrition WITHOUT the overwhelm, today’s episode is for you. I’m joined by Rachel DeSonier, Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer, and mom of five, to talk about what actually works for busy, overwhelmed moms. Rachel shares how moms can prioritize their health with limited time, why strength training is the single most powerful exercise to focus on, and how nutrition and stress management play a critical role—especially as we move through our 30s, 40s, and into perimenopause. This conversation is packed with practical mindset shifts and simple strategies to help you stay consistent without guilt.
