After tackling her health head-on and embracing a fitter lifestyle in her 40’s, Oonagh Duncan now specializes in a total mind-body approach for getting into the shape you want. Her 28 Day Transformation Challenge is a comprehensive course in changing your food and fitness behaviors so that eating and living healthy comes to be second-nature.
In this episode, Oonagh discusses the key habits that lead to healthy thinking and healthy living, why viewing non-smokers and non-drinkers as something “other” can impede our personal growth and the importance of moving past the notion of what our bodies “should” be like.

Quotes:
“You do have to do some mental adjustments about who you are now when your body changes.”
“It’s not that my workout burned so many calories, and that’s why I’m fit. It’s because it set off this ripple effect of other positive behaviors throughout my day.”
“Is this [diet] something you’ll do when you’re so, so busy? Is this something you’ll do when your loved one is in the hospital?”
“If you want fat loss, [your diet’s] going to be 99% nutrition.”
