  • 023 The Secret to Eating Healthy on a Tight Budget: Component Cooking with Special Guest, Health & Wellness Coach Ashley Malik

    023 The Secret to Eating Healthy on a Tight Budget: Component Cooking with Special Guest, Health & Wellness Coach Ashley Malik
    Nov 1 2024

    In this episode of the Debt Rebel podcast, Julian Kohlbrand interviews Ashley Malik, a health and wellness coach who specializes in anti-inflammatory nutrition.

    Ashley discusses her method of "component cooking" which allows families to eat healthy meals without everyone having to eat the same thing.

    Here are the key takeaways:

    • Ashley Malik is a health and wellness coach who specializes in anti-inflammatory nutrition.
    • She developed the "Family Fork" framework to help busy moms prioritize their own health while still feeding their families.
    • Component cooking involves making large batches of a few key ingredients (protein, veggies, carbs) that can be repurposed into different meals throughout the week.
    • This method saves time and money, and it allows families to enjoy healthy meals without everyone having to eat the same thing.
    • Ashley recommends starting with just one new recipe per week and slowly building a repertoire of healthy meals.
    • You can find Ashley's free guide and more resources on her website, AshleyMalik.com.
    • Her podcast is called The Family Fork.

    Grab The Family Fork Meal Plan here: https://ashleymalik.myflodesk.com/thefamilyforkplan


    About Ashley:

    She empowers busy, midlife moms to lose weight with an anti-inflammatory approach that is family-friendly. After losing 55 lbs with hypothyroidism, Ashley developed a method to kick-start weight loss for women who have "tried everything, but nothing works". Based on 10+ years of personal experience, research, and endless doctors appointments, her approach guides women to lose weight, gain energy, and live the happy life they deserve!
