Episode 228: When Life Gets in The Way of Your Healthy Habits (Part 1)

Mar 26, 2024

If there is one common trajectory every one of my clients follows it's this: they start off highly motivated and excited to get started, they stay totally dialed into the process and are pushed forward by the results they see, and then inevitably they hit a wall.

A parent gets sick. 

An unexpected move happens. 

A child goes through a tough time. 

A big trip comes up. 

The school year starts. 

Their spouse gets let go. 

They start a new job. 

They run into a busy season.

What determines my clients'...

Summary  

It's happening, the moment you've been waiting all week for. I'm about to spill the tea on the exact steps I took with my food and fitness to lose those 'last 10 pounds' I gained while vacationing in Greece. 

But before we get to the good stuff I need you to see me as your personal coach right now. And as your coach I am imploring you, if you haven't listened to (or at least read) part 1 yet... GO BACK! 

I know mindset work isn't nearly as sexy as the more specific...

Episode 212: How I Lost the 'Last 10 LBS' Without Dieting, Tracking, or Restricting

Oct 03, 2023

 Listen In

Summary  

I forgot what it was like... carrying weight on your body that you don't want to be there. 

I remembered it in theory.

I remember pinching my stomach with frustration. I remember folding my arms over my torso every time I sat down to hide the rolls. I remember hating sit ups because it made my pooch more pronounced. I remember working out twice a day hoping it would fix the problem. 

But what I forgot are all the emotions you experience on a minute-by-minute basis. 

I forgot that...

Episode 210: What Exactly IS 'Functional Nutrition'??

Aug 29, 2023

 Listen In

Summary  

Do you ever feel like your body has turned against you?

I know I have. 

Through hypothyroidism, hashimotos, acne, leaky gut, SIBO, h pylori, mold, candida, and hair loss, my own health journey has felt like a torturous game of wack-a-mole. As soon as one symptom drops off another pops up, and it's been hard not to resent my body for it. 

But if there's one thing I've learned as a functional nutrition practitioner and patient it's this: symptoms, be they fatigue, brain fog,...

Episode 208: Overcoming Food Fear - Part 2

Aug 08, 2023

 Listen In  

Summary  

Last week we talked about what steps you can take to start overcoming your food fears whether they be eating bananas, enjoying carbs, not tracking every morsel you eat, and the like. 

But there was one step that needed its own episode: debunking the lies that made you fearful in the first place. 

So much of our anxiety around food comes from inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information. So it's time to set the record straight. 

Myth #1: If it has a high glycemic index it...

Episode 207: Overcoming Food Fear - Part 1

Aug 01, 2023

 Listen In  

Summary  

Let me tell you the story of how I had my dream car for 5 days. 

My jetta was totaled and on my hunt for a new car I came across a beautiful mini cooper at Carmax. It was a convertible with a silver exterior, gorgeous plaid interior, and shockingly in my budget. 

I drove it off the lot, windows down, my favorite music playing, and I felt like I had made it. 

But as the week went on something interesting happened. 

I constantly worried about it. 

I worried...

Episode 203: Getting to the Root of Menopause Belly

Jul 04, 2023

Listen In  

Summary 

Last week I was chatting with a new client who was struggling with a serious case of menopause belly. 

You know that little (or not so little) tire of fat that forms around your midsection when you hit menopause that seems to defy the laws of weight loss??

The one that resists every diet attempt and workout routine? (Because hot flashes, low libido, and poor sleep aren’t bad enough, am I right??)

While I’m sure you’re familiar with the fact that hormonal changes...

Episode 196: I Had a Horrible Cheat Day... Now What?!? Part 2

Apr 18, 2023

Listen In 

Summary 

We've all been there... you're so good all week, avoiding the vending machine, ordering salads for lunch, cooking healthy dinners, saying no to dessert, and then it finally arrives:

Cheat day. 

And you think to yourself...

I deserve this.

It's just one meal. 

I'll get back on plan tomorrow. 

This is the last time I'll have this for at least a week, better make it count. 

And so you get the burger and fries. And the milkshake. And the soda. And the day is already ruined so that night you also...

Episode 168: Control Your Blood Sugar, Control Your Weight?

Aug 30, 2022

Summary

Do you ever experience any of these symptoms? (I'm willing to place a large wager that your answer will be yes.)

  • Headaches
  • Brain fog

  • Fatigue

  • Sugar/Carb cravings

  • PMS

  • Waking throughout the night

  • Frequent infections

  • Shakiness

  • Nausea 

  • Irritability or anxiety

  • Stubborn weight

Borderline seems like an I'm-just-getting-older checklist, doesn't it? But just because an ailment is common or normal for you, doesn't mean it's actually normal. 

So what do all of these symptoms have in common? They...

Episode 165: 4 Mindset Mistakes That Are Actively Halting Your Progress

Aug 09, 2022

Listen In 

Summary 

I've said it before and I'll say it a thousand more times...

In the game of health and weight loss, your mindset will fuck you up more than a cheat day ever will. 

How you speak to yourself, how you perceive setbacks, how you think about obstacles, and what you focus on is the difference between you taking another step forward or quitting.

It's the difference between you staying consistent or swinging from one extreme to another.

It's the difference between you feeling grateful when you...
