E134 - Courtney Ross - Nutrition the Powerful Force in your Child’s Health

This week's guest Courtney Ross is a dedicated fitness enthusiast and wellness advocate with a diverse background in modeling, personal training, health coaching, and nutrition. Her journey towards a profound understanding of the human body and its optimal care started unexpectedly with a minor surgery that forced her to confront the importance of movement and self-care during her recovery.
Motivated by this experience, Courtney embarked on a quest to unravel the intricacies of the body and develop her path toward optimal health. Starting as a personal trainer, she gradually expanded her knowledge by acquiring multiple nutrition certifications.
Through her studies, Courtney discovered that while nutrition is a highly individualized aspect of wellness, fundamental principles apply universally, such as the need to be cautious of misleading food labels and the benefits of consuming whole foods.
Eager to explore food's profound impact on physical and mental well-being, Courtney delved into Functional Medicine. She also pursued a comprehensive understanding of holistic iridology, recognizing that the body communicates through various signals. Armed with this wide range of tools and knowledge, Courtney has been able to help individuals who have been failed by conventional approaches. By offering alternative perspectives and diverse avenues for exploration, she instills optimism and empowers people to reclaim their well-being.

Throughout his coaching career, he found that his ability to inspire and motivate his players was the attribute that held the most power. He believes that the ability to help a person find their motive in times of extreme fatigue, both mental and physical, is worth its weight in gold.
Pollard's writing is an attempt to dig deeper into motive and explore what goes on inside people. He draws on his experience in the classroom, weight room, and football field to explore the difference between people's actions and words and the ability to bring comfort and tribulation closer together. His writing is an extension of his drive to inspire and motivate people and he hopes to accomplish the same feat through a different discipline.
