Did you know most doctors won’t test for Hashimoto’s in their hypothyroid patients because it doesn’t change their course of treatment? Regardless of why you’re hypothyroid, they’re going to do one thing and one thing only: put you on thyroid medication. 

This is a massive disservice to us hypothyroid warriors given the fact that roughly 95% of hypothyroid cases are caused by hashimoto’s (if you’re unfamiliar, hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks your thyroid gland). 

If we know why our thyroid is malfunctioning, we...

 Arguably the most common questions I get from both clients and strangers on the internet alike are about supplements. So here we are, finally dedicating a whole episode to them. 

But before we dive in, I want you to know why it’s taken me this long to cover such a hot topic. 

Supplements can not magically compensate for poor nutrition, chronic stress, inadequate sleep, or a sedentary lifestyle. They exist to lend a little ‘oomf’, a little extra support, a little health bump if you will. They can fill some gaps left by poor farming practic...

 A few days ago I was on a call with a new client who was facing a predicament almost everyone faces when trying to make changes to their nutrition and fitness habits.

She delayed scheduling her second call with me because she was embarrassed that even though we laid out a plan for her, she hadn’t followed through with it.

I explained how unbelievably normal this was. So many think if a coach just tells them what to do they’ll be able to go out and immediately crush it. But the truth is no one ever comes to me just needing a plan to follow...

Last week we started a really fun conversation about the 33 lessons I've picked up over the last 33 years. So often I'm in 'coach mode' sharing the facts and figures about how to be healthy.

But if you want to get a little more personal and hear some of the stories that have shaped me, the way I think, and the way I show up for you, all filters are down for these episodes. If you missed last week, start here. Otherwise dive right in to part 2!

12. The biggest wounds often launch the most powerful healing. 

13. Stop ‘shoulding’ on yourself...

On January 19th I turned 33 and it was admittedly an interesting one. 

Did I allow myself a moment at the beginning of the day to mourn the life I thought I’d have by 33 - the house, the husband, the kids? Sure did. 

But then I decided the theme of the day was to follow the joy. 

The joy brought me to my favorite coffee shop with a fantastic book. 

The joy brought me to a reflexology massage and True Food lunch with my friend Brooke. 

The joy brought 6 wonderful women over to my home for a pajama party. These women didn’t know each othe...

There's something I've come to realize over this past year. It's one of those things you kind of know, but you don't really know until you for sure know. And it's this... what you put on your body has an astronomical impact on how you feel in your body.

Personally, my style has been all over the map over the years. For a long time I wanted to put no effort into the way I looked (a rebellion against my mom's passion for looking immaculate at all times).

Then I swung hard in the other direction, wearing heels to class in college and never le...

 Ever feel like one minute you’re crushing life - knocking through your to do list, easily focusing on different projects, smoking the person next to you in your workout class - and the next minute you're knocked on your ass... can’t keep track of what needs to get done, brain fog is stealing your concentration, and you’re barely making it through workouts that should be a walk in the park for you??

Yeah. Welcome to your hormonal cycle.

The hard truth is our world was not set up to take the monthly hormonal fluctuations every cycling woman...

As the year winds down, it’s the perfect time to reflect on all the amazing discoveries that have made life just a little sweeter, healthier, and more intentional. Today, I’m sharing my favorite finds from this past trip around the sun—spanning everything from skin care and supplements to transformational books and programs. Let’s dive in!

The Joy Jar

Let’s start with a simple yet transformative tradition: the Joy Jar. Here’s how it works: each time something wonderful happens, write it down and pop it into a mason jar. Then, on January 1s...

I feel like the new year brings with it a conundrum. On the one hand, I think we’re all burned out on setting resolutions. One too many times we’ve found ourselves feeling like a failure come February.

Who wants to relive that shame spiral for the 100th time?

On the other hand, there’s an undeniable shift in the air. We become more reflective around this time of year, thinking about what we want for ourselves in the coming months. And that clean slate is so damn appealing to start anew.

So what’s a girl to do?

In years past, I traded a r...
