#014 - Kelly Benamati - Struggles with Alcoholism, Inspired to Write a Book and Become a Life Coach

Vibrant Potential with Dr Chris Frykman: Functional Medicine Strategies for Health, Fitness, and Performance

Kelly share her story in a very open and honest way. Telling us what it's like to be an alcoholic as well as giving us some behind-the-scenes snippets of what it took for her to overcome her addiction.

Kelly's story is one with strife in her past. I'm a sucker for inspirational stories in which people are being real and in the end, don't give up. She shares in this interview she was contemplating ending it, and she found a reason to continue on.

I hope you can find inspiration here.

Thanks for listening.

~Dr Chris Frykman
