#299 Making Nutrition Work for Busy, High-Achieving Women

Welcome to another inspiring episode of the Nutrition and Life podcast! Today host Lisa Franz welcomes Krysta Huber, dynamic nutrition coach, branding expert, and founder of The Fitness Fix. Krysta’s refreshing, mindset-driven approach to nutrition has powered the transformations of countless high-achieving women striving to prioritize themselves, break out of old stories, and build eating habits that last.

Krysta gets real about the hidden power of self-talk, how identity shapes results, and why storytelling—both the ones we tell ourselves and the ones we absorb—fundamentally drives our success. She shares her personal evolution from group fitness instructor frustrated with her progress, to finding food freedom through macro tracking, and ultimately building a coaching business focused on self-trust, awareness, and sustainable systems.
