Alex Talbot Bio:
I embarked on my journey towards healthy living life large, or healthyXXL, the moment of my rebirth on April 22, 2017. This is my broader journey, which encompasses my many journeys: recovery, spiritual, transformation, weight loss, fitness and odaat mom journeys. After 28 years of substance abuse, my burning desire to change my life’s course has me in the best mental, physical and spiritual health of my life at the age of 39.
For me, recovery is a workout, so I work out my recovery day in and out. Recovery is a lifestyle, and it’s my life and style now, fully adopting clean living right down to the food I eat. Fitness and nutrition, along with my program, have proven viable approaches in my recovery. I always say, brain fit, body fit and spirit fit, can’t have one without the other. In addition, it’s not about the weight I lost, but the life I’ve gained, nor am I on a diet, but a lifestyle change.
Another recovery win is my newfound passion for health and life coaching, helping others affect life-lasting and sustainable habit, or lifestyle, changes as well. I truly believe my Higher Power has gifted me with this calling, which I’m currently pursuing by way of my certification and business. I’m not only addicted to bettering myself, but equally addicted to helping others better themselves, reaching their optimal health and wellness goals, and together attaining our best possible versions and leading vibrant, conscious and thriving lives.
My cometh, a power greater than myself; my why, my amazingly beautiful almost 11-year-old daughter, who deserves the best version of me, a role model and present mother; and, my how, all of you trudging towards healthy living life large with me.
