Ep. 58: Overtraining and Under-Fueling -- A Story of Healing with Nikki Zahka

Nikki Zahka aka @fitwithnikk_ is a woman in tech with an obsession for health and connection. Nikki shares in a refreshingly vulnerable way in this episode. Her story includes struggling from being overweight to becoming "the ab girl" who then navigated liver, adrenal and hormone issues. She began to experience daily fatigue, thinning hair and increasingly problematic gut health. Nikki has been on a journey from "overtraining and under-fueling" to putting in the hard work of getting her health back from the inside out. She is stronger mentally and physically today than ever before. Huge shout out to Nikki for her heart in sharing this story.
