Dive into my best tips for sustainable weight loss, vibrant health, and unstoppable body confidence.
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...
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...
Last week was rough. My cycle came and with it a huge wave of absolute, pure and utter exhaustion. Like, kept-nodding-off-in-the-chair-while-I-was-getting-my-hair-done exhaustion.
In this situation, it was absolutely the right call for me to trade my gym session for a walk on the trail. I was still getting movement in, but movement that actually added to my energy instead of depleting it further.
Don’t get me wrong, skipping the workout is not always the right call.
For example, if you miss your workouts 5 times a...
I just came back from a 7-day cruise and on the last night my friend Jose asked how disciplined I felt like I was during the trip.
I said, “I don’t know that ‘disciplined’ is the right word.” Discipline in this context implies willpower, sacrifice, and strict rules. That really doesn’t describe my experience on board.
The right word? Mindful. Here’s how this looked in practice…
With lots of all-you-can-eat buffets it would be easy to go...
Last week we started a conversation all about the power of habits.
When we’re “on a diet” we have to use a ton of mental energy and willpower to make it from one day to another. But when you understand how to instead build healthy habits, living a healthy lifestyle becomes second nature.
It’s no longer something you do, it’s who you are. And that is the ultimate goal and the ultimate recipe for long term results.
If you missed us going over the anatomy of a habit, head back to episode 243.

How often do you find yourself using willpower when you’re trying to change your diet, or get in an exercise routine, or implement a better sleep schedule? I’m guessing a lot.
I have to choose to get up early to make myself a healthy breakfast.
I have to choose not to eat the donuts my coworker brought to work today.
I have to choose to go to the gym at the end of the day instead of flopping off the couch.
I have to choose not to reach for that big bag of chips when I...
It’s about that time! Back-to-school is around the corner, we’re finishing up our last-chance vaca's before it’s back to the grindstone, and thoughts are turning from ‘fuck-it vaca mode’ to ‘oh-crap-it’s-time-to-get-back-to-good-habits mode’.
But it can be hard to flip that switch when you’ve gotten out of the routine of working out, you haven’t been putting much thought into your food choices, it’s been a minute since you’ve been in...
Over the past few weeks I've had a few newer clients come up against a similar obstacle, one I'm sure you've probably experienced yourself: information overload that has you totally freezing up.
You're bombarded with ads for dozens of supplements, all with promises of a quick fix for your stubborn weight, your low energy, your poor digestion, your thinning hair, your aging skin, and the like.
You see experts touting wildly different diets so convincingly you can't figure out which is the right one.

If you're hypothyroid, standard weight loss advice probably pisses you off...
Some gym bro on the Internet is telling you to just eat less, workout harder, track your macros, and only eat during x hours.
Been there, done that. It isn’t. fucking. working.
In fact, if you're following that advice, it's probably pushing you deeper into your plateau. But we'll get to that in a minute.
This is why I decided to create my ‘Why Can’t I Lose Weight Nutrition Intensive’. To not only give clarity as to why...
A client of mine recently had lunch with a friend who complimented her on her now-leaner physique.
In the past, the most common follow up question in this kind of exchange would have been, "What diet are you on?"
But instead, her first instinct was to ask, "Are you on Ozempic?"
This is beyond concerning and tells me one thing: we are clearly not learning from our past.
It's like we're the girl who keeps getting drawn into relationships with toxic guys, each time thinking, "This time it'll be different."
