What Women Really Need for Sustainable Health | Allie Cass

Intentional Health for Women

In this deeply personal episode of the Intentional Health for Women podcast, I sit down with my friend and colleague, Allie Cass—a powerhouse in the health and fitness world with a story that will leave you inspired. From her roots as a small-town athlete to becoming a beacon of hope for women striving to reclaim their health, Allie shares how her journey through grief, loss, and rediscovery shaped her into the coach and advocate she is today.
We dive into her upbringing in Texas, navigating the pressures of being a high achiever, and the life-altering moment when she lost her mother to cancer—a catalyst that reignited her passion for fitness and health. Allie gets raw about her experience with bodybuilding, the highs and the lows, and how she’s shifted her approach to prioritize functional health, mindset, and sustainability for herself and her clients.
This conversation is a heartfelt exploration of what it means to live with intention, find balance, and embrace the seasons of life with grace and resilience. Whether you're looking to redefine your relationship with health or simply need a reminder to show up for yourself, this episode is for you.
