Campbell and quickly deployed as flight surgeon with aviation unit.  She was then moved to the hospital to actually practice as pediatrician for 4 years.  Following another deployment she was able to work her way up to Chief of Pediatrics at the Community Hospital on base at Ft. Campbell.  At this point she was a Major in the Army. That all changed with a traumatic brain injury in 2018 leading to memory loss, loss of identity, and having to medically retire from the US Army.   Amanda was moved into the Warrior Transition Battalion to allow healing and continued treatment by the TBI clinic. After her injury, she had severe complications causing a loss of identity, worsening depression, and weight gain.  It's one thing to recover from an injury.  It's another thing altogether when that injury includes brain damage.   Amanda went from a thriving leader and physician to a hot mess on her couch in the dark having migraines daily and significant balance issues.  About a year and a half later she was improved greatly, but still unable to function in her previous profession. She'd had enough of depression with resulting obesity.Amanda now has a new vision of herself and has begun the journey from  Hot mess to Wellness, including becoming a published author and now a speaker as well.  A little about Amanda's book, also titled: Hot Mess to Wellness: 7 Steps To Wellness When You've Tried It All and Had EnoughHot Mess to Wellness asks: "Are you unhappy with your weight, body, or health issues? Have you tried and failed multiple “diets” that promise a gorgeous body or spent a fortune trying to have that body the media portrays as perfect?"Hot Mess to Wellness is not a diet or exercise book. Nor is it a quick fix or easy way to get skinny. This book is written for the average person who feels “fat” and sluggish, who can't seem to lose weight or increase energy despite trying again and again, and needs some advice and motivation or that push to take the first step. Author and physician, Amanda Zeine, takes you along on her journey to wellness after a traumatic injury.Learn about Dr. Zeine's 7 Pillars of wellnessMindfulnessRelaxationSleep and the importance of restful sleepHydrationDitching the diet and learning what foods are actually healthyMoving your bodySurrounding yourself with supportive and positive peopleSo many people feel stuck in their slump and don't often have a permanent and sustainable way to feel good. Whether it be bad eating, poor exercise habits or an injury that keeps you from feeling your healthiest self, author Amanda Zeine takes the reader through a journey to not only feel your best self physically but mentally too.A person's struggle can include many factors and Hot Mess to Wellness is the motivation you need to understand wellness as a whole. Change your life by reading this book and incorporate the 7 pillars into your everyday life to feel the best you have in years.It's a journey not a sprint to change your life for the better and physician and author Amanda Zeine has the directions to get you to your ultimate destination. CONNECT WITH AMANDA:  BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Hot-Mess-Wellness-Better-Health-ebook/dp/B09KQWK2PY/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29YVECJSR3IGP&keywords=hot+mess+to+wellness&qid=1673298668&s=books&sprefix=hot+mess+to+wellne%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C608&sr=1-1  WEBSITE: https://www.hot-mess-to-wellness.com/  CONNECT WITH COACH JON:NUTRITION: https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com  ⁣MENTORSHIP: https://www.jonmclernon.com  YOUTUBE: https://freedomnutrition.rocks/YouTube  CRUSH YOUR CRAVINGS GUIDE: https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/book  ⁣FREE 7-DAY CHALLENGE: https://www.freedomnutritioncoach.com/7-day-challenge  PODCAST: https://freedomnutrition.rocks/btba-podcast

Today Beryl is chatting with Jen Hoffman - a good friend, mom of 3, and founder of HealthyMoving.com. Jen is not your average fitness instructor - she’s a public accountant turned certified personal trainer and registered yoga teacher. She uses this virtual studio to help students all over the world to weave healthy movement into the fabric of their day. In this episode Jen and Beryl deep dive into so many topics. Listen and as they chat about: How Jen is redefining the definition of creativity and her life.   How ‘paying attention’ as a busy mom is the first step in to weaving more health and wellness into your day. Why creative individuals NEED to move and the unexpected results when they do. And for us couch potatoes, Jen  shares her favorite tip for making movement more enjoyable. HOMEWORK: Snap a photo that shows how you're PAYING ATTENTION this week. Come follow 'recaptureself' on Instagram. Use the #recaptureself hashtag when you post. I'll share out some of your posts this week!  You can join Jen for her free No-Time Self Care Solution Class by registering for it here.

In this episode of Keep Moving Forward I interview entrepreneur, podcaster, fitness expert, and founder of the Healthy Moving Company, Jen Hoffman.   If you guys are inspired by the stories that my interviewees and I share with you each week, please consider becoming a patron of Keep Moving Forward. Of course, all episodes will still be free both on iTunes and at http://keepmovingforward.us/, however, if you would like to support the future success of my podcast, you can become a patron at https://www.patreon.com/keepmovingforward.   “Be at ease with your disease.” This phrase, while derived from the practice of Yoga, permeates every facet of Jen Hoffman’s life. At five-years-old, she was run over by a Suburban and was told that for the remainder of her days, she would suffer from heel and ankle pain. For years, she accepted her fate, believing that this was the life she was meant to lead. She had to find ease in this discomfort, but she did not want to. After seeking the advice of a yoga expert by the name of Judith Lasseter, Jen came to the realization that living with chronic pain was in fact not living at all. From that moment, the trajectory of her life changed. She quit her job with Price Waterhouse Coopers, studied everything she could get her hands on about healthy moving, fitness, yoga, restorative exercises, anything that would help in the development of her business idea, and she became an expert in all that she learned. From this new passion to not only live but to live well and desire to impart this wisdom on others suffering as she had suffered, Jen created the Healthy Moving Company and Podcast.   Her aim is to help all who seek her assistance experience the lasting improvements of continuous healthy moving. Her premise is not that you need to carve out chunks of your day to go to the gym or frequent a spin class, but rather, that living healthily is something that you achieve through your actions at every moment throughout your day. You simply have to learn to weave these positive changes into your hectic schedule. Like the life she leads as an entrepreneur as well as the one in constant search of living well, Jen has come to internalize the saying “be at ease with your disease.” It might not always be comfortable, but progress begins outside of your comfort zone.   It was a pleasure to speak with Jen and I am so grateful for the opportunity to have her on my show. I hope that you all enjoy my discussion with healthy moving expert, Jen Hoffman.   If you would like to learn more about Jen and Healthy Moving, head to http://healthymoving.com/ and follow her on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram all @HealthyMoving. You can also subscribe to her YouTube channel and subscribe to The Healthy Moving Podcast on iTunes.   Don’t forget if you enjoy my podcast and the content that I give to you each week, please consider becoming a patron at https://www.patreon.com/keepmovingforward. Always remember, you can beat the odds and go the distance, if only you keep moving forward.

Every major religion and faith tradition teach about the power of collective prayer and meditation. And many scientific studies confirm not only the positive effects of these practices on the practitioners, but also on the communities they inhabit. (Yes, collective prayer and meditation have been shown to benefit people who don't even participate in the practice!) In this episode, my friend Heather Filipowicz and I are inviting you to help us harness that power on election night! Join us for a #PeaceArmy and pause at 8:30pm on November 8th for a moment of collective prayer and meditation. Get more info here - HealthyMoving.com/PeaceArmy
