Episode 257: New Years Resolutions Are Dead... Do THIS Instead
I feel like the new year brings with it a conundrum. On the one hand, I think we’re all burned out on setting resolutions. One too many times we’ve found ourselves feeling like a failure come February.
Who wants to relive that shame spiral for the 100th time?
On the other hand, there’s an undeniable shift in the air. We become more reflective around this time of year, thinking about what we want for ourselves in the coming months. And that clean slate is so damn appealing to start anew.
So what’s a girl to do?
In years past, I traded a r...
Episode 256: Put an End to Diet Perfectionism and the Overeating it Causes
Perfectionism. It plays out in so many facets of our life. Why? Because there is safety in perfection.
If we never mess up, if we never do anything bad, then nothing bad will happen to us.
If we can be perfect at our job we won’t get fired. If we can be perfect in our relationships no one will leave us. If we look perfect no one will reject us. If we’re perfect with our diet, we’ll finally have the body we want.
But it’s interesting, because I think in areas outside of food, we’re sort of forced to accept that we won’t be perfect. And
Episode 255: The Secret to Behavior Change You're Probably NOT Doing
I don’t know about you but when it comes to making changes in my life, I tend to focus a lot on the doing part of the equation.
If you want to change your body, you probably focus a lot on learning how to meal prep, finding the best workouts, and figuring out what supplements to take. I know if I want to grow my business I have to create meaningful social media content, advertise, and network.
But many of us inevitably run into a disconnect with the doing… That is, we know what to do but we aren’t actually doing it.
Enter the mo...
Episode 254: How to Break Through Excuses and Get Sh*t Done
“There aren’t enough hours in the day.”
“I’m too tired.”
“It’s been a stressful day, I deserve a treat.”
“I’m just not motivated.”
“I’ll start tomorrow.”
“I don’t want to waste food.”
These are just a handful of the things we tell ourselves day in and day out that are keeping us stuck making poor food choices, skipping the gym, and generally not following through on our health goals.
And the thing is, some people will insist on fighting for their excuses. They’ll clutch to them like a security blanket, they’ll defend them,

Episode 251: Understanding Your Thyroid Labs for Symptom Relief
------------------------------
Before we get into today's episode, I'm stoked to announce that for once I'm actually ahead of the curve in getting my Black Friday deal out to you. Well... deals.
I was trying to decide what sale would be most beneficial. Would 50% off one month of personal training be best? Or maybe 35% off a year long membership to The Club? Or what about giving a free GI map (AKA comprehensive gut panel) with the purchase of any nutrition program?
Instead of trying to read your mind, I decided to just ask. (Yay for cle...
Episode 250: 5 Reasons You Lose Control Around Treats (And How to Stop)
Do you ever feel out of control around certain foods?
Maybe you can’t keep cookies in the house because you’ll eat the entire box within a day or 2.
Maybe when you do allow dessert into your house you intentionally eat the whole thing just to get rid of it so you don’t have to deal with that nagging voice in the back of your head that’s constantly pushing you to go back for more.
Maybe you only eat certain foods in the car or when no one is home because you know the amount you eat “isn’t normal” but you don’t feel like you can s
...Episode 249: Overwhelmed by Meal Prep? Avoid These Mistakes!
Ah meal prep. The secret weapon for staying on track with your nutrition whether your goal is to lose weight, balance hormones, improve your gut health, or simply build more consistent healthy eating habits.
But what if it feels like more of a burden than a help? Like it’s just one more thing on the never-ending to-do list. (And likely one more thing to procrastinate.)
If that’s the case, we are missing the point entirely. Meal prep should be something that takes stress off your plate, not something that adds to it.
But a lot of us fa...
Episode 248: Making Peace with Food with Mindful Eating
When I say “mindful eating” or “listen to your body” what’s your instinctual response?
I know for a lot of people their knee jerk reaction is, “My body wants cheetos and ice cream at every meal, so I don’t think you want me listening to my body.”
This is incredibly common and it points to an unfortunate theme: we do not trust our bodies. And we do not trust ourselves.
And where does that leave us but to rely on a diet telling us exactly what we are and are not allowed to eat?
But here’s the irony: dieting is not only one of the stronges...
