Meet Denise, a 59-year-old rock star who truly feels the best she ever has.  But to say it’s been a long road to get here would be the understatement of the year… In her early and mid-twenties, she struggled with binge eating and eventually what was diagnosed with bulimia. And although with the help of professional support, she was able to overcome this, she still dealt with emotional eating and overeating due to feeling unworthy and overly reliant on the dopamine hit food provided.  Can...

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 only after the fact that we’ve consumed a dozen cookies and a few fun-sized candy bars. What...

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 to eat certain foods or instill some form of fear around a particular food or food group. ...

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 the above, the change needs to start with you and come from within. You need to make changes...

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. What if, instead, we chose to look at all that we did well and all of the aspects that contributed to the success we did have? Success leaves clues. And spending time studying and learning from past success - the successes we’ve had and the success others have had - is an...

Are you familiar with the five love languages? The five love languages describe the five core ways that people receive and express love in a relationship.

But here’s the most important piece I’ve learned from studying this topic: we often don’t apply the principles to the most important relationship in...
