Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Host Caitlin Johnson and Sophia Pavia speak with Ashton Koehlmoos. Ashton is a long time listener of the podcast and has her own unique fertility journey. She is a fitness educator supporting all women in the ttc, pregnancy and postpartum stages.  She now educates and help you find the inner strength your body posses through your breath & inner core unit to create support and stability through all chapters of motherhood. She wants you to feel empowered to make decisions on when you need to scale back your training and when you can advance. ​She helps mamas take the fear out of exercise while trying to conceive, while pregnant, or while postpartum. Even if you've never worked out before, you can start! Being told to "continue what you did prior" or "stick to yoga" is outdated and poor advice for all mamas, but especially those who have have a passion and drive for exercise and competition. In this episode, Ashton speaks about her fitness background and being in the fitness industry for more than 11 years. She speaks about the importance of doing work outs that work with your body and not pushing yourself to exertion five days out of the week.  For her, cutting back in the gym was a pivotal part of her fertility journey.  Thank you to our Season 3 Sponsors.
