Listen In
Summary
Have you ever experienced this: You have a goal to lose weight. And even though reaching that goal would mean everything to you, even though you know how much more confident you would be in your relationship, even though you know you'd have more energy for your kids, even though you know how amazing it would be to feel good in your own skin again, you just can't get yourself to take action.
The days come and go and you just feel sluggish, apathetic, maybe even a little hopeless. You can't seem to hype...
Episode 80: This is our most IMPORTANT episode to date: If You Don't Change THIS, NOTHING Changes
Listen In
Summary
If I asked you, "What's the number one thing sabotaging people's health goals?" what would you say? Eating too much sugar? Not working out? Binging on the weekends?
Want to know my answer? It's our minds. It's the stories we repeat in our heads daily. It's how hard we are on ourselves. It's our shame.
It's the excuses we give ourselves that keep us in our comfort zone, away from the action, away from the possibility of failure.
It's the beliefs we hold about who we are and what we're capable of. It's...

Raise your hand if you’re part of the clean plate club!
Raise 2 hands if you’re part of the 2 clean plates club!
I GET it. Our lifestyles are set up perfectly to turn us into total food-aholics.
Our fast-paced, over-scheduled lives have us shoveling food so fast we barely even taste it.
We’re encouraged by movies to binge food for comfort (who else has been the cliche eating a tub of ice cream after a breakup?).
And diet culture perpetuates our yoyo-ing between eating half a carrot for...
Episode 78: Thanksgiving Do's & Don'ts (Covid Edition)
Listen In
Summary
Thanksgiving. During a NORMAL year it's a minefield of stuffing, pies, and alcohol, threatening to send us down the slippery slope of holiday season fuck-it-ness.
Then 2020 came along and said, "Hold my pumpkin beer."
This season we aren't facing the desire to overindulge with the fam. We're staring down the challenge of keeping our heads (or more accurately, our waistlines) while possibly feeling extreme stress, loneliness, and grief over what we're missing out on this year.
And THAT can be a recipe...

Episode 76: 5 Things Your Cravings Are Trying to Tell You
Listen In
Summary
What do you do when you get a craving? Do you try to control it? Shut it down with willpower? Avoid then binge? Convince yourself you don't need it (while secretly obsessing about it)?
The true secret to conquering cravings once and for all isn't in avoiding your food of choice; more often than not that just gives it more power and makes it that much worse when you finally do give in.
I know I can't be the only one who's avoided eating a cookie and ended up eating 8 cookies, a slice of cake, and a half a bag...
Episode 75: How to Eat MORE Calories (and Speed Your Metabolism) Without Reaching for Junk
Listen In
Summary
Between diet culture constantly telling us to eat less and move more, trends like intermittent fasting limiting the hours we can eat, and trying to include more and more plants in our diet, it can be shockingly hard to get ENOUGH calories in to lose weight.
Believe me, I know that sounds bananas and borderline like an oxymoron, but it's true. You can eat TOO LITTLE, slow down your metabolism, and bring your weight loss to a standstill.
Truth be told, the clients that come to me struggling with...

Back in a past life, I worked as a server at a popular restaurant and I can't tell you how many women order our signature salad thinking they were 'being good'. That salad was 1300 calories.
And that's the crux of it. Even when we think we're making good choices, even when we order something that would...
Episode 73: 5 Realistic Ways to Maintain Healthy Habits Through Crazy Busy Seasons
Listen In
Summary
We all have what I call ‘sprint seasons’ in our life where it doesn’t matter how good we are with time management, our days are just utterly packed.
And during those times it can feel like the ONLY option is to completely let go of the reigns on our healthy habits. That’s usually when we start to skip meals, hit the drive through, or shovel a handful of goldfish crackers down our throats and call it ‘lunch’.
But losing weight and keeping it off can’t be about only...
