Hungry AF Podcast

Hey friends, Today’s a milestone—this is the final episode of Hungry AF podcast and the final edition of this newsletter as you know it, and the perfect time to share an experiment I’ve been genuinely excited about: my first impressions of the Primal Queen Goddess Creatine Bites. But before we dive in, a quick heads-up: this isn’t goodbye . Starting next episode, you’ll find me and all my foodie/w...

Introduction to the Primal Queen Experiment Today marks four weeks since I embarked on my Primal Queen supplement experiment, and I want to share a candid reflection on the journey. Expect nothing but real data and an honest account of what went well and what didn’t. This is not a dramatic transformation story; it’s about real life and how things sometimes don’t go as planned. Above is video four...

Hey friends, If you’re new here—welcome to the Hungry AF Newsletter & Podcast, where we talk about the real-life science, systems, and stories behind making healthy-ish eating actually stick. January has been a whirlwind of launches, learning, my 52nd birthday, and, let’s be honest, a few “what’s for dinner?” moments. Let’s get into what’s working, what’s real, and what’s next. Be sure to check ou...

A December That Finally Feels Right For the first time in my adult life, December feels cozy and peaceful instead of chaotic and overwhelming. This is my first holiday season after leaving my corporate job, and I finally have the time to make the holidays what my family deserves—and to take care of myself. We’re keeping it simple, not overcomplicating things, and I’m feeling something I haven’t fe...

Hungry AF Newsletter & Podcast Episode 10 Let’s be real: the holidays are a lot. There’s nostalgia, joy, and all the food traditions that make this season feel special. But for so many of us? There’s also stress, guilt, and that old voice whispering, ‘Just start over in January.’ If you’ve ever felt like the holidays blow up all your healthy intentions, you’re not alone. For years, I was caught in...

Hungry AF Newsletter Edition & Podcast Episode 9 If holiday meals usually leave you foggy, snacky, and ready for a nap instead of a game night… you’re not broken. You’re just running a very human body on a very high-carb, low-protein holiday menu. This week, we’re kicking off Healthy AF Holidays —a short series to help you enjoy the exact same favorite foods with less crash, fewer cravings, and wa...

Hungry AF Newsletter & Podcast | Edition 8 Hey friend, If you’ve ever thought, “I just want my comfort food to love me back,” this week’s content was basically built for you. We’ve been hanging out with one deceptively simple tool: a science-backed ingredient substitution table that shows you how to tweak your favorite recipes for allergies, macros, and real-life chaos—without sacrificing flavor o...

Hungry AF Newsletter & Podcast | Edition 7 Last week, we broke down the science of pressure cooking. This week, we’re diving into slow cooking (aka crockpot cooking): why it works, how it can help you eat healthier with less effort, and how to use it to your advantage when you’re cooking for a family. We’ll touch on its backstory, then put the science to work with a high‑protein, slow‑cooked carne...

Hungry AF Newsletter & Podcast | Edition 6 Hey Hungry AF family, Want potato salad that holds together, soaks up flavor, and doesn’t commandeer your stove? Same. That’s why the Instant Pot version has become our house standard (and the top recipe on my website ). Today I’m breaking down the micro-why—what’s happening inside those potatoes—and the macro-win: creamy, consistent results in minutes. B...

Hungry AF Newsletter & Podcast | Edition 5 Let’s be honest—sometimes, the only thing standing between you and a total meltdown is a bowl of creamy soup or a slice of cake that tastes like childhood. But have you ever wondered *why* comfort food feels so comforting? Spoiler: It’s not just nostalgia or a lack of willpower. There’s real science behind those cravings, and (good news!) you can actually...

Hungry AF Newsletter & Podcast | Edition 4 Hey Hungry AF Family, In our last edition, I was buzzing with excitement about a 10-day adventure in Costa Rica with my daughter—visions of pineapple plantations, chocolate farms, and local cuisine filling my head (and my content calendar). But as any seasoned traveler (or home cook) knows, sometimes life has other plans. Thanks for reading Hungry AF! Sub...

TL;DR * I’m heading to Costa Rica—get ready for a wave of new food inspiration. * Exploring a country’s cuisine is the best way to experience its culture (and make unforgettable memories). * Practical tips for eating like a local, even if you don’t speak the language—or know your gallo pinto from your casado. * Yes, there’s a chocolate farm on my itinerary—expect stories (and maybe recipes) soon!...

Let’s Be Honest: Leftovers Usually Suck—But They Don’t Have To Raise your hand if you’ve ever opened your fridge, stared down a sad container of last night’s dinner, and immediately reached for the takeout menu instead. Yep, guilty as charged. We all start with good intentions, but leftovers have a reputation for being boring, bland, or just plain uninspired. Here’s the thing: With a little creati...

Welcome to the First Edition of Hungry AF ! If you are here, it is probably because, like me, you are very busy with work, family, and life in general. But we all have to eat! And we know we should probably do most of that cooking at home, and, oh yeah - make it healthy, too. That’s a lot of pressure! My goal is to share recipes and food-related information to make mealtimes delicious (first, and...
