I’m sitting here writing this at one of my favorite cafes, coffee in hand, trying not to cry in front of the cute couple sitting across from me.

This is harder than I thought.

For the last 6 years, Gio and I have shown up just about every week. Sharing with you the insights we’ve discovered through books, podcasts, and our personal experiences as we’ve navigated our own individual health journeys.

We’ve gone through 2 brand changes and a few identity crises (remember when I almost tried to be a business coach, or the old days of Eat N R...

Do you ever feel out of control around certain foods?

 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...

 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...

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 week because you’re 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…

Mindful of my hunger and satiety cues.

With lots of all-you-can-eat buffets it would be easy to go overboard (pun intended). So I regularly asked myself if I wa...

 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.

If you’re all caught up and are ready to cha...
