Introduction Episode
Welcome to "Ask a Health Coach", hosted by Ashlen Weddington.
I am here to answer your health and wellness questions!
As a health coach and yoga teacher, I know that that there is so much misinformation and confusion around certain topics in the realm of health and wellness. You, the listener, will ask me a question through the voice memo feature on the anchor podcast site, email me at askahealthcoachpodcast@gmail.com, or reach out on social media.
Using research and studies I find, I will answer your questions to the best of my ability. This podcast is meant to be an inclusive and welcoming space, and help break the barrier that health and wellness are just for white, privileged wealthy people. Throughout the season, I will bring on a variety of guest speakers from different backgrounds to share their unique perspectives on health and wellness.
