We all know what we’re supposed to be doing with respect to lifestyle habits, but the reality is that most of us don’t stick with it. My guest today, Dr. Kristy Lewis, is a Holistic Nutritionist and Naturopathic Doctor — as well as a colleague of mine that I’ve grown to love and admire for many, many years now!
Dr. Kristy Lewis’ secret sauce is in her practice and her approach to women’s health. In particular, it is through helping people appropriately sequence the lifestyle elements and habits that we need to have in place to uplevel our life and help us understand why we just don’t do it. It’s all well and good for us to share all the things you should be doing but if you don’t have a framework to actually make these habits stick, they aren’t necessarily going to move your life forward.
My interview today with Dr. Kristy Lewis was fun, insightful, and tremendously practical. We talk about how we start to stack and strategically implement lifestyle medicine, why willpower is BS, how we can actually stay on the track of ongoing improvement vs. falling back into our old ways, and the hidden choices we’re making throughout our day with respect to our health that have the capacity to make a massive impact. This episode is jam-packed with some incredibly valuable information so I hope you’ll all tune in!

More About Kristy Lewis
Kristy Lewis has spent most of her life passionately learning, experiencing and sharing everything to do with health and wellness — and believe her when she says she has lived every step of this journey!
She has run marathons, hiked mountains, become a yogi, spent weeks in silent meditation. She has suffered from chronic pain, burn-out, and anxiety. She has been vegan, paleo, and a raw foodist; she has restricted food, and she has binged food. She has gone to retreats and she has led retreats. She has been divorced, left a successful business career, studied to become a Naturopathic doctor, traveled, found the love of her life, and had a beautiful daughter.
Through this all, she has come to understand the concept of balance and how to prioritize her health goals depending on her internal and external experiences. She believes that the simple things are the most important things when it comes to caring for your body. She loves her journey because it was her own and she has much to share with anyone willing to listen.
She wants to understand you, your current health challenges, the obstacles that are getting in your way and the direction that you want to take your life. She will listen to you and learn about your own unique and authentic life. She will make the connection between your current state of health and your heart goals and from this knowledge map out your best health plan.

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!
