The Live Diet-Free podcast

What does it really mean to be healthy? If your definition starts and ends with weight, you're not alone—but it's time to expand that view.In this episode, I'm walking you through a more complete and empowering definition of health, based on the biopsychosocial model. We'll talk about how true health includes your physical body, mental and emotional well-being, relationships, environment, and more.I'll share real-life examples—from scheduling medical checkups to setting boundaries—that highlight how healthy people live, think, and take care of themselves.This conversation will help you reflect on what your version of healthy looks like and how to start showing up as that version, even in small ways.Because health isn't one-size-fits-all—and when you define it for yourself, it becomes a lot more doable (and meaningful).Tune in each week for practical, relatable advice that helps you feel your best and unlock your full potential. If you're ready to prioritize your health and level up every area of your life, you'll find the tools, insights, and inspiration right here. Buy Esther's Book: To Your Health - https://a.co/d/iDG68qUFollow Esther on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@estheravantFollow Esther on IG - https://www.instagram.com/esther.avantLearn more about booking Esther to speak: https://www.estheravant.comLearn more about working with Esther: https://www.madebymecoaching.com/services

Have you ever had a goal other people thought was crazy? In Crystal Clark's case, that was running 160 miles in the Sahara desert (among many other ultra-endurance feats)! Ultra runners aren't supe human but what they learn about themselves and become in pursuit of their goals can make them seem that way. Crystal is joining me today to share how ordinary people can do the extraordinary. I know you'll love it even if you have zero interest in running unless something is chasing you! Crystal is an ultra runner, mom, and wife who has completed over 25 ultramarathons, earning eight podium finishes along the way. One of her most notable accomplishments is completing the Marathon des Sables, a grueling 257km (160-mile) stage race across the Sahara Desert, often referred to as one of the hardest races on Earth. Despite these extraordinary achievements, Crystal describes herself as an ordinary woman who balances her passion for running with working full time at a large nonprofit and managing the responsibilities of family life. She didn't grow up an athlete—she even came close to failing gym class more than once—but her journey into running later in life is a testament to the power of perseverance, resilience, and embracing challenges. She shares her story in the hopes of inspiring others to step out of their comfort zones, follow their passions, and discover their own potential—whether in running or other pursuits. Follow her journey on Instagram @SeeCrystalRun, where she offers an authentic glimpse into her training, races, reflections, and the balance of chasing big dreams while staying grounded in everyday life.
