Every 4th of July I used to wake up Tuesday morning feeling like I had completely blown it. The spiral would start Friday night and by Saturday I would figure the whole weekend was already ruined so I might as well keep going. For years I thought something was wrong with me. And then I realized I was not failing on the Fourth of July. I was failing at the week leading up to it. Today, I am giving...

Does your food noise get louder in summer? Like you are doing fine minding your own business and then June hits and suddenly all you can think about is the s'mores at the bonfire next weekend, the pizza on Wednesday, the frozen margarita at the barbecue on Sunday. You are thinking about these foods days before you even get there. And by the time you actually show up you are so wound up that yo...

If I could go back to every single summer of my weight loss journey and shake myself, I would. Because I spent years following summer weight loss advice, I was so convinced I was right…and it was keeping me completely stuck. The salad only barbecues. The two-a-day workouts in the heat. The I'll be good all day so I can eat at night strategy. The summer detoxes. The I have to earn my vacation b...

Today, I’m sitting down with Kylie, a real-life gradua...

It changes your cortisol, your sleep, your eating patterns, and your body's signals...

How many summers have you spent either completely restricting yourself at every barbecue, calculating every calorie at the cookout, and avoiding the pool because you haven't hit your goal yet? Or going completely off the rails the second Memorial Day hits, and spending all of June trying to undo the damage? If either of those sounds familiar, this episode is your permission slip to do summer c...

I get this DM constantly, almost word for word, over and over again. "I just found out I have free health coaching through my insurance, so I'm going to try that first." And I get it. Free sounds amazing, especially when you have already spent so much money trying to lose weight. But here is the truth nobody is telling you: free is only a good deal if it works. And if it doesn't...

Ever feel like you'll never lose weight unless you're tracking every calorie, measuring every bite, and swearing off anything fun till “after you reach your goal”?  Been there. But guess what?

Real talk, it is May, summer is literally around the corner, and if you have said "I need to lose 10 pounds before summer" approximately 47 times in the last five years, this episode is for you.

Maybe just a little. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone and you are not crazy. Food noise isn't a willpower problem and it's not a character flaw. It's a physiological and psychological...

Can I tell you something the weight loss industry will never put on a before and after post? Losing weight is HARD. Not just physically, but emotionally, psychologically, and in ways that nobody prepares you for. And that silence does so much damage.
