The BEST lean muscle-building TIPS for women: Holly Baxter | mbg Podcast

Welcome to the mindbodygreen podcast! Each week, host Jason Wachob, founder and co-CEO of mindbodygreen, engages in open, honest conversations with the people shaping the world of well-being. Today’s featured guest is Holly Baxter, an accredited practicing dietitian, competitive bodybuilder, and fitness coach.
