From Broadcast to Broccoli - Her Comeback with Amanda Hull

2026-05-08

Her Comeback | Episode Notes Guest: Amanda Hull, Author & Certified Health Coach

Episode Summary

Michelle sits down with Amanda Hull — Iowa farm girl turned Florida-based health coach and author — for a conversation about getting back to the basics of wellness, sustainable health habits, and the courage it takes to walk away from a corporate career to live on your own terms.

About Amanda

Amanda Hull grew up on a small acreage in Fenton, Iowa (population 300), where gardening, hunting, and raising chickens were everyday life. After a 30-year career in broadcast television and sales management — including a General Sales Manager role at a Hearst Broadcasting affiliate and a volunteer Wellness Champion role for the company — she made a pivotal shift during COVID, leaving corporate life to become a certified health coach specializing in nutrition. She and her husband now live in Florida.

Her Book: Rooted: The Down to Earth Basics of Wellness

Amanda's debut book weaves nostalgic stories from her '80s childhood with practical guidance on nutrition, fitness, mental health, and financial wellbeing. The premise: good health doesn't have to be complicated or expensive — it just has to be sustainable. The book is dedicated in part to her father, who passed away in 2020, and is available at hull-health.com and on Amazon.

Key Takeaways

Sustainability over gimmicks. Whether it's SlimFast in the '80s or Ozempic today, any plan you can't maintain for life will ultimately fail. Ask yourself: can I do this at 80?Ultra-processed food is engineered to keep you eating. 70% of the average American's diet is ultra-processed. Real food — chicken, broccoli, a potato — satisfies in ways a bag of Doritos never will.Taste preferences change — but it takes time. Rewiring your palate from processed food to whole food takes weeks or months, not days. Consistency is everything.Be a lion, not a sheep. Don't let food companies, social media, or cultural noise decide what's healthy for you. Think critically, do the research, trust your own body.One takeaway for women: You don't have to be perfect — just consistent. Small, daily habits compound into a foundation you'll be proud of.
