“I’m in the clear now. I’m feeling like a human and I’m ready to take on the world.”

—  Meghann Hempel


Certified health and lifestyle coach and personal trainer Meghann Hempel has the kind of inspiring ‘behind the business’ story that could be turned into a bestselling book. 


And we’re going to explore it all on the Captivate + Convert podcast!


Prior to changing the lives of her clients (including me!), Meghann dealt with her own unhealthy relationship to food — which started at the age of just nine years old, when she was prescribed psychiatric medications which led to major weight gain, increased appetite, and food obsessions.


At 16, she became a fitness addict, binging on food and then over-exercising.


It wasn’t until she weaned herself off of her prescription meds that she was able to find the clarity and energy to start building her career….


… and that’s when her eating disorder got truly serious.


This episode is the first of a two-part interview with Meghann. This chapter explores Meghann’s journey from overmedicated child to zombified young mom to healed healer. From rock-bottom bulimia to traumatic brain injury, Meghann has overcome some serious challenges — tune in now to hear her incredible story!


Hit play and find a new way to work! In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How prescription meds affected Meghann’s lifestyle and eating habits — and how long it took her to recover
  • How a traumatic brain injury forced Meghann to shift her career path
  • The real lowdown on food addiction, triggers, and food sobriety
