REBRAND COMING SOON!! And with a very special co-host! 🙏🏼
Brought to you by Ashley Taylor from @ashleytaylorwellness --- Ashley is an RN of 12 years, as well as a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and has learned so much from both the conventional and alternative health care systems! --- As always, one size does not fit all and this is not medical advice. Everything on this podcast is shared for educational and entertainment purposes only. --- On this podcast, we talk about all things beauty, health/wellness, and optimization! --- Ashley is known for being an open-book, exploring alternative wellness practices, and respecting that each adult has the right to autonomy and to make their own choices regarding their health and lifestyle. What works for one person is not necessarily right or appropriate for another person. --- This podcast is here to inspire you to learn new ways to improve your quality of life and take your power back! --- Episodes are released Mondays & Thursdays, and are a mix of solo episodes and guest episodes. Feel free to make any suggestions for guests/topics by emailing ashley@ashleytaylorwellness.com --- Please leave a review so that I can help reach more people, bring on amazing guests, and continue to run this podcast free of charge to the listeners!
