Amber is amazing!

This podcast is a must listen! I connected with Amber through my podcast, Law of Attraction Tribe, and she was a wealth of knowledge around women’s hormones, health and wellness. This is a topic where I’ve found very little help from traditional doctors and was at a loss. I’m so glad Amber is informing women and helping us to be our own health advocates.
Health minded momma

The amount of information Amber shares and her wisdom is just fantastic. She is so knowledgeable and has such important topics that many need to know about.
sunshineinlove

Must listen of your on a path to wellness.

There’s so many ways our bodies try to talk to us. Amber helps us understand what they’re saying both physically and emotionally. She’s like a translator!! Her breadth of information is awesome. A must listen if you’re on a path to wellness.

Inspiring

Amber brings new life to the age old topic of weight and self worth. She gives you a new perspective that is refreshing in todays environment. She will inspire you to do and be the best you can be.
LLLMETAL

Amber is a wealth of knowledge!

This podcast is FULL of honest, real and life changing information. The best part is that Amber has a way of being so gentle in her delivery never making you feel judged or shamed. She approaches this work with grace and love and you can feel it. Working one on one with her has been one of the best gifts I’ve given myself so far and I’m only a couple months in! Having someone guide you and support on your healing journey is a game changer and I feel like I’m finally moving in the right direction!

Amber’s awesome podcasts

Amber discusses topics that other podcasts don’t such as digestion issues from binge eating / emotional eating. Most important, she talks about getting to the root of why you are doing it in the first place. If you don’t get to the “why” no self help books, diets or supplements will work. I have been doing 1:1 coaching with Amber since February and she has made such a difference in my perception of how I see myself. It’s not a quick fix as I’m uncovering areas of my life I didn’t realize were impacted by my eating disorder. I am slowly kicking self loathing to the curb. It’s uncomfortable but liberating at the same time. I am worth the investment to have the life I want. One step at a time. After 40+ years I finally had enough of thinking I can “handle it”.

Incredibly insightful

There are very few people who actually walk the talk, and Amber is such a wealth of knowledge from both education and experience. Her story is groundbreaking and this podcast is something every needs to listen to. Absolutely amazing.
Jess/Brown

A necessary listen for women!!

I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for Amber. She is a passion expert, who does her due diligence to make sure she is helping people access important health and wellness information. If you’re a women with questions about your mind, body, and how the two are connected you need to follow this podcast! As she would say “this podcast is filled with gold”! She doesn’t gate-keep what she has learned, which would be so easy to do considering how much work she has done over the years to become a reputable source of information, but instead chooses to help others access LIFE CHANGING information. Thank you Amber- you are a true champion and uplift everyone around you! 🌟

Life changing!

I found this podcast during a time where I was searching for healing from binge eating, rapidly gaining weight, and hormone issues. I knew right away that this information and approach to health was something special. Amber encourages ditching the diets and showing up for yourself which was a radical new way of living for me. I have gotten so much information from this podcast that I’ll be using for the rest of my life.

The No Sugarcoating Podcast

I was feeling exhausted, anxious, worried, and not the person that I wanted to be. I began listening to the no sugarcoating podcast with host Amber Romaniak. I could not stop listening to her. She spoke to me in such a way that I knew I need to hire her as my health coach. She has literally changed my life. I am learning about self-care and ways not to self sabotage. I am happier, at peace, and want to continue on this journey that she has put me on. Thank you so much Amber! Highly recommend this podcast and all the information that she shares
Amanda Gyhra

Nothing but truth

This podcast is everything. Amber is not afraid to speak truth and strike a cord in her listeners because she doesn’t sugarcoat anything. She talks about everything from tapping into our higher energies to overcoming your biggest challenges in your healing journey. She lays out the why behind everything she talks about. I would recommend this podcast to anyone wanting to do the deeper work to heal physically/emotionally/spiritually.

Amber’s An Intuitive Powerhouse

I resonate with Amber’s podcast both from her wealth of knowledge on hormone / gut health but also her business coaching. She’s an intuitive powerhouse! I love how she encourages the balance both our masculine energy (action-oriented) and feminine energy (rest / receive) for whole body health - mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.
Maddy Bauer

Love this podcast!

Soulful and refreshing

I’ve struggled with body image and emotional eating all my life. Like most women, I had tried everything without getting the results I desired. Finding Amber’s podcast has been a Godsend. She helps you cut through the hype and the fads and gets to the heart of healing your body and your relationship with yourself. I look forward to each episode! 💖
Sabrina Rice

Informative and insightful

I have struggled with my weight and body image for what feels like an eternity. Amber’s view point on how to care for and love your body is a breath of fresh air. Love this podcast.
Tabbatha.Kristie.Properties

Truly believe every woman and human would greatly benefit from Ambers expertise ❤️‍🩹

Though virtual I feel fully immersed in Amber’s hormone Harmony program even with my learning curve, the fact that she goes over the helpful education in more than one way so you truly learn and soak it in is much appreciated. I love that I can ask as many questions as I like and have what feels like full access to coaching - she’s patient and loving the entire time which is exactly what I need in these intimidating and trying stages of really delving into everything mindset and self care - it’s not easy to fully love yourself know yourself and improve on the daily 🥰 we all need a coach and Amber offers not only digestive and eating habits help but a plethora of knowledge in regards to all things mind, body, emotion spirit 🧘🏽‍♀️
MeganRanger1989

Leah3point0

A different & brilliant approach to mind-body healing

I frequently listen to a variety of podcasts and Amber’s is quickly becoming one of my favorites because of how clear she is with her message/teachings and more importantly how unique and effective her approach is to healing. I first heard Amber on the Blonde Files podcast with Arielle and was immediately taken by how profound yet clear method of addressing your relationship with your mind/body. After listening to that episode I started shifting my mindset with her suggested approaches and WOW!! I’m now going back and listening to every episode and I continue to see progress with my relationship with my body using her approaches. So much love and light for you, Amber!! This podcast needs to blow the eff up so the Amber gospel can spread

Amber is so knowledgeable

Amber has so much insight and knowledge on women’s health and her voice is very soothing. I learned a lot of body love, hormones and ways to look at my health in a more therapeutic holistic way.
MillenialMareBear

Can’t believe I’m just finding this!

Thanks to Whitney Port hosting Amber on her podcast With Whit, I am currently binging (no pun intended) this podcast because it is truly so helpful. I am a recovering amphetamine and benzodiazepine addict and have historically turned to food and binging to cope with my emotions in sobriety- which has inevitably led me back into relapse time and time again because I struggle with weight and issues. I am so excited to change my life and stop the painful cycle of addiction to drugs and replacing it with addiction to food. This podcast has helped me so much already in terms of learning helpful tools and knowing I am not alone in my struggles. Thanks so much, Amber! Truly changing lives for the better!
