Elle Russ is a confident woman who has written two terrific books to help people reclaim their birthright to optimal health and their best lives. Her first book was The Paleo Thyroid Solution, which is my favorite book for addressing thyroid issues. And her most recent book is Confident as Fu*k, the “self-help book for people looking to uplevel their self-esteem and confidence and manifest their dreams to live a happier, more abundant existence.”
Elle is a best-selling author, confidence coach, and thyroid expert. She is also the show host for New York Times best-selling author Mark Sisson’s Primal Blueprint Podcast; and she has a podcast called Kick Ass Life.
Elle is open, direct, curious, smart, funny, kind, and generous. And I am so glad to call her a mentor and good friend.
