Show notes

Dawn Joseph is a Certified Online Trainer who has been in the industry for over 20 years. She works with women in their 30's & 40's who want to be strong and energetic, role models for their kids, and also want to avoid their pelvic floors falling out of their bodies in the next few years! Online training is a new concept, so it makes sense that people don't know much about it, and perhaps have misconceptions about it.

Show notes

I'm doing something a bit different, and answering 25 questions from listeners. We've got incredibly wide-ranging questions about veganism, health, fitness, and nutrition. I didn't do any prep, so you get whatever pops into my brain. I discuss foam rolling, supplements for vegan strength training, organic foods, coffee, cooked vs. raw foods, keto, vegan party recipes, travelling as a vegan, weight loss, and accordions… (I accidentally labelled 2 questions as #20, so you get a bonus question and answer!)
