You and I have both been there. We sign off of our last Zoom meeting, and close the work browser that has accumulated a dozen tabs throughout the day, including the email one sucking all of our energy away, before finally making our way out of the office and realizing that nothing would feel better than a huge dose of sugar! And, in the blink of an eye, the next hour goes by and we come to realize...

You don't have to have a trigger food. Yet, there's so much talk about trigger foods on social media we've become unconsciously conditioned to believe that we all have one and that having one is a part of life. You don't have to have a trigger food.  The development of a trigger food is exponentially more likely if you have a history of dieting. And this is the case because many diets tell you NOT...

You can't change unless you change. Let that sink in for a moment… Behind every goal you seek - whether that be health and fitness-related, financial, or rooted in a relationship - you want to change how you feel. You desire to change what I refer to as the external component of the transformational change model, which consists of our results, identity, and reality. But in order to change all of t...

When we attempt to achieve a goal that we've tried to achieve before, such as losing significant weight and keeping it off for good, it's easy to waste a lot of precious energy dwelling on our past mistakes and failures.
