In this episode, I dive into my year long reflection of going to therapy on a weekly basis and how it's changed my life. After about a month in therapy I received an ADHD diagnosis after years of being misdiagnosed with anxiety. It's been so validating to understand how and why my brain works a certain way, how to regulate my emotions better, and how it's helped improve my relationships in so many ways. I will forever be thankful for starting therapy and hope this helps someone if they are...

In this episode I dive into my top tips for 'deep health' aka focusing on: nutrition, fitness, sleep, and stress management, because you've heard me say it once and I'll say it again, health and weight are NOT the same thing.

A popular question: can you lose weight when pursuing intuitive eating? The answer: well the details are in the episode ;-) but the answer is yes you certainly can, but it's not the main goal of intuitive eating and never will be. You can gain, lose, or maintain. The goal of intuitive eating is finding where your body is naturally most 'metabolically fit' and 'healthy.'

In this episode, I dive into the origins of intuitive eating as well as the 10 principles that intuitive eating is founded on. Within these 10 principles, there's a variety of different ways to incorporate these thoughts and mindsets into your life. My favorite principle to talk about is #10, gentle nutrition and is basically the foundation of my social media, but the most important one to get you started is #1, rejecting the diet mentality. I hope you love this one! --- Send in a voice...

Today's episode features my husband Zack talking about his type 1 diabetes diagnosis. Zack was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes almost a year ago now. For those that don't know, T1DM is an autoimmune condition where his pancreas stops producing insulin, meaning that he will be insulin dependent for the rest of his life. He either uses shots or a pump, luckily, his lifestyle didn't have to change too much because he has a dietitian as a wife. ;) But, thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy...

Two of the primary things I talk about on my page are building balanced plates and power packed snacks, and of course, I give brief breakdowns in those videos of why and how that benefits our body in a positive way. But, I had never done a DEEP dive on the ways in which blood sugar balance and stress management are truly the root of a lot of metabolic conditions we see, sugar is not poison, and you can enjoy the foods you love. What makes me so sad about the nutrition industry is that all...

This has been a topic on my mind for awhile now, and I want to clarify that when I am referring to "coming off the medication" I am referring to this drug being used as a quick fix, weight loss solution. I understand that there are many people who benefit from the drug and could be on long-term. However, the way that the media/influencer etc. are advertising it, using words like "skinny shot" does not sit well with me. The current advertising is is sending a message that if you "just get a...

I had a video go massively viral last week debunking some common nutrition myths. As a dietitian, I saw some common trends in the comments among assumptions made about dietitians that I felt it was really important to dive into: dietitian's aren't paid by big pharmacy but what do we learn in school to classify us as 'experts' in nutrition, preventative healthcare, and more on pRoCeSsEd foods.

The term "balancing your hormones" is thrown around all over the internet, but what does that actually mean? The reality is this is largely a marketing term that's targeted mostly at women to sell some sort of supplement, meal plan, or protocol. There are over 50 different hormones in the body that naturally and constantly fluctuate and is incredibly bio-individual. Especially for us as females. In this episode, we breakdown six of the major hormones that are impacted by nutrition and...
