Food Is Friend, Not Foe: Ali McGregor

Ali McGregor joins Melissa on the mic for our Everyday Woman series. Like many of us, Ali grew up with body image issues that developed into disordered eating. When extreme fad diets led to unhealthy results, Ali made the incredible decision to seek support through a therapist and health coach to heal her relationship with food. Today, Ali is a health coach, the Founder and CEO of Life Simplified, the host of Master It podcast, and she's currently training for a triathlon!
