Back to Basics

This week Anna sits down with Emily Rae, a holistic health coach who has turned her personal struggles into a mission to help women around the world take back control of their health. Once a self-described PMS monster, plagued by hormonal acne and carrying an extra 20 pounds, Emily has transformed into a period unicorn with clear skin and pain-free periods. Over the past 5 years, she has amassed a following of over 300,000 followers across platforms and her course and content have helped over 20,000 women balance their hormones naturally using nutrition and lifestyle changes as God intended, without relying on Big Pharma to fix them. Her mission is to create an army of women who ditch hormonal birth control, balance their hormones naturally & learn how to track their cycles to take back their health, fertility and true femininity.
