It suggests you can (and should) give equal time, energy, and attention to everything — work, home, self-care, kids — all at once. But motherhood doesn’t (and shouldn’t) work that way. Life moves in seasons and rhythms, not perfect symmetry. It’s time to stop striving for balance and start creating systems th...

When women come to me to work together on their nutrition, I always end up hearing so many sad stories. These women are living lives where they’ve been skipping meals for years in order to lose weight. When they do eventually end up eating, they are terrified of carbs or eating over the 1,200 calories we've all been conditioned to think is a "magic" number. The nutrition world has come so far, and...

There is a strong correlation between our nutrition and mental health.

In the last 50 years, food dye consumpti...

While these tips won’t take a...

I have been a certified nutrition coach for 7 years, and I still cannot get over hearing all the crazy diet myths that have been passed down through the years. Almost every day, I hear someone bring up a myth about health and nutrition that will not die.

I used to live between two extremes when it came to vacation: I would either throw caution to the wind and eat all the food in sight, or  I would stress about how much weight I was going to gain and restrict myself for days to try to get the number on the scale to go down.  I have had several clients come to me within the last few weeks asking questions about what to do while traveling to stay on...
