Meet the extraordinary health coach Jordan Younger famously known @thebalancedblonde to the health and wellness world. Younger started blogging full-time in 2013. Her hard work and dedication led her blog to turn into a book, podcast, and brand that has gained her a cult following with people interested in intuitive eating. Younger has dedicated her time and effort to educating her clients into eating the best food for their bodies.

A couple of years ago, Younger was eating the healthiest diet you could imagine. Her diet was gluten-free, sugar-free, oil-free, grain-free, legume-free, plant-based raw vegan. You cannot get any healthier than that, and yet her body was feeling sick. Her obsession with only eating pure, perfect foods was doing her more harm than good. Her body was weak, and she was feeling limited and helpless, not allowing herself to eat as she thought that anything out of her diet would make her feel like crap and throw off her system. We have all been there. So obsessed with our diets that instead of helping us, they cause us harm. Her obsession affected her mental health, and she had to consult a psychologist who diagnosed her with orthorexia (an obsession with eating pure and perfect foods).
At this moment, Jordan decided to reevaluate her eating habits, which is when she got into a holistic living, wellness, and spirituality. She wanted to break free from her rigid and limiting beliefs and begin listening to her body. To start eating intuitively and stop feeling guilty about listening to what her body wants.

It is what she intends to instill in her clients. She aims to change their approaches to food that is NOT dogmatic, rigid, stressful, judgy, or based on rules. That ditches labels and offers a way to feed their bodies in the best way possible. Younger believes that our bodies are our most significant possessions. Thus we need to listen to them and offer them only the best.
