 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...

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...

Imagine you were experiencing daily migraines and I said, “Just stop having headaches.”

Or you were dealing with chronic constipation and I said, “Just make yourself go.”

Or you had debilitating fatigue and I said, “Just ignore it, it’ll go away.”

I hope you would look at me like I was insane. Because that’s not how you treat symptoms. You don’t just ignore them or will them away, you get to the root of them.

Well what if I told you cravings are a symptom. Not a personality flaw.

It’s true. Your body can’t just whisper in your ear what’...

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...
