Episode 224: Swipe Right for Wisdom: 14 Lessons From 3.5 Years of Singlehood (Part 1)
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and you know what that means... we recorded one of my favorite podcast episodes of the year! Truly the only thing I love talking about more than health and wellness is love and relationships.
In year's past I've brought on the experts - one year it was a sex therapist, last year it was my parents who have a beautiful marriage after 35 years (definitely go back and take a listen if you weren't with us back then).

Episode 223: 4 Foods That Are Hurting Your Thyroid
In honor of thyroid awareness month, today we're chatting about eating for your thyroid. Or more accurately, what NOT to eat.

Episode 221: A New Approach to the New Year
If you know me you know I'm not a big believer in the New Year's resolution.
Of course I love a good goal, but there's something about the New Year's resolution that pushes people to make grand sweeping declarations about the entirely new person they're going to suddenly be simply because the last number of the year changed.
I'll hear things like,
"I'm not going to miss a single workout!" or "I'm not going to give into cravings anymore!" Or "I'm cutting carbs for good this time!"
But we know that's not...

Because the truth is that's exactly what it takes to lose weight, keep it off, and build a healthy, sustainable lifestyle.
We live in a world of extremes, of black-and-white, all-or-nothing thinking. We want to simplify things so much and fit them in their tiny, neat little boxes because that level of clarity feels safe.
But living a healthy, vibrant life doesn't fit into a box. It's filled with nuance, and...
