An average person who lacks determination never runs out of excuses for not living a healthy lifestyle — going to the gym and eating healthy. And that’s why I think it’s brilliant how people with mental illness are dealing with both that and their physical health. Carly Jennings, a personal fitness trainer with Type 2 bipolar, can definitely relate. She runs a Facebook page, A Wiggly Girl, which aims to help people with mental health issues create habits that encourage living as stable and as happy a life as possible.
On today’s episode, Carly shares her journey in fitness and dealing with her mental illness. She reveals a healthy approach to losing weight regardless of body type. And lastly, the food you should start eating to level up your health and fitness.
