Last week, we talked all about what mental shifts you need to make to get off the yoyo diet train.

But if you've been on that sucker for a while and you've spent years cutting calories, cutting food groups, and increasing your workouts, chances are pretty good your metabolism is all kinds of jacked up. 

I see it all the time with new clients, they come to me saying things like, "I only eat 1200 calories per day and workout hard 7 days per week, but I can't lose an ounce."

Yup, that's extreme diets at work. 

And from t...

We've all been told the rule of weight loss is to burn more calories than you consume. And while there is a lot more complexity  in how different food affects your body, your metabolism, your hormones, and your health (more on that in the 'eat less/move more' bonus episode after episode 33), the general premise is true. 

But for those of us who don't have the time, energy, or desire to count every morsel that touches our lips, how do we ensure we're creating that deficit? 

Here are 3 proven ways to stick to the golden r...

We all are under inordinate amounts of stress lately. And being stuck in the house with extra time on your hands, can quickly lead to fridge raids, and mindless binges if you don't have a plan and tools in place to prevent it.  

So today we're talking about 6 proven ways to keep you from stress-eating your way to the quarantine 15. 

1. Create as many barriers as possible between you and your 'red light' foods. If it isn't in the house, it's much harder to eat it. This is a much smarter strategy than hoping your willpower

With the kids at home, businesses shutting down, and days and weeks blurring together, a routine may feel hard to come by.

But creating and sticking with a regular routine could be the best medicine amidst the chaos. 

Here are 3 approaches to try.

1. Themed Days: Make each day centered around one type of task.

• Monday: Meal Prep
• Tuesday: Cleaning

• Friday: Social Media Engagement/Planning

2. Time Blocking: Dedicate every...

If you struggle staying motivated to workout regularly, I totally understand. Even as a personal trainer I struggle with this from time to time. But while we tend to preoccupy ourselves with finding motivation hacks, rarely do we take the time to figure out how we're sabotaging our motivation to begin with. 

1. You're pigeonholing what it means to 'workout'.

If you say you don't like working out, chances are you have a very narrow perspective on what working out is. Getting your exercise in doesn't mean you have to be l...

Why am I doing this?

"You're already fit, you're already a trainer, so why in the world are you taking on a new fitness challenge?" 

I'm going to be totally honest with you, while my exterior may look fit, my health is not where I want it to be right now. As some of you already know, I've been dealing with hair loss, my acne started to come back, and while I'm always consistent with leading an active lifestyle, it's been a long time since I have truly challenged myself in the gym the way I could and should. 

So it's time, especially in the w...

We all know habits are the keys to our success in any endeavor we have.

Our ability to achieve our dreams virtually never comes down to one big thing we did. It's what we do, how we think, and how we respond to challenges every single day, without even thinking, that truly determines our fate. 

So here is my 6-to-Stick Method (as seen in my Life Unleashed Program) for creating healthy habits that will stand the test of time, motivation, and busy-ness. 

1. Make it easy.

Whenever you choose the habit that you want t...

In this week's episode, I was super excited to sit down with DivaDance North Dallas studio owner, Natalia Maravi. Listen in to hear her inspiring story of going from a newbie dancer at 26 years old, to dance fitness instructor, to studio owner in just a matter of years.

Her story is not that of an overnight success, or of privilege, or of certainty in her path. No, hers is a story demonstrating the power of baby steps, listening to your intuition, and stepping into the unknown to unleash a career and life she never coul...
