I’m going to guess that you wouldn’t argue with me that life is busy and often stressful. This feels especially true as we head into the holiday season…

Are you ready to get your sweat on and conquer insulin resistance like a boss? I mean, who wants to be a prisoner to sugar cravings and those obstinate pounds that just won't go away? Certainly not me, and I’m guessing not you either!

This is a sensitive subject, so please try and keep an open mind and stay with me as we dive in. There is a huge movement right now around body positivity, body acceptance, and an anti-diet culture.

When I mention the word fasting to clients, I get either a look of fear, a look of skepticism, or a look of anger. I get it, the idea of fasting can be scary and uncomfortable, and may even seem like a terrible idea for our health!

Have you ever heard the term “metabolic flexibility”? If so, do you even know what it is? It’s kind of a weird term that gets thrown around certain circles, but I would venture to guess, most people have no idea what it is. Let me tell ya though, you want to know!

The difference between enjoyment and addiction can be a very fine line. Let’s face it, food is delicious, and we all thoroughly enjoy eating it. But at what point does that enjoyment become an addiction?

If diabetes runs in your family, it might feel inevitable. But does it have to be? And with the rate we’re seeing people being diagnosed, is it just a given for all of us, is it simply a matter of time? It can sure feel that way!

Do you ever feel that your desire for sugar is other-worldly? Like seriously, the ability to say no, or to stop once you start, is not a choice you make, it is simply something you MUST do!

As a nutritionist, I don’t spend a lot of time writing about mindset, but I do spend a lot of time thinking about this subject.

When we think of mental health, we think of depression, anxiety, bipolar, brain fog, memory, concentration and so on. We typically equate this with a chemical imbalance in our brain.

Have you done all the things your doctor recommended you do after a diagnosis of depression? You faithfully take your antidepressant every day, you go see your therapist once a week to talk about life and what might be hidden deep inside causing your depression.

The keto diet has become hugely popular over the last few years, and honestly with good reason. When most people think of keto, they think of weight loss. While keto can be a great catalyst for weight loss, for many, this becomes a happy side effect to the many other benefits they weren't expecting.

Stress is remarkably damaging to our mental and physical health. Even though we know how serious it is, most of us can’t seem to find an effective way to get rid of it (or at least reduce it).

As the temperature starts to get colder, the sneezing and sniffling noises surround us. Many of us are just expecting to get sick, feeling as if it’s unavoidable. If you eat the right foods and take the proper precautions, you could strengthen your immune system and avoid getting sick this year.

Do you constantly feel exhausted and drained? Do you wake up tired, struggle through the day, and count the hours until you can crawl in bed at night?

For so many years I said things like “I’m just not one for climbing the corporate ladder” or “I’m just not career driven”.  What I really meant was I didn’t have a passion.  I had a great job that I liked, I even loved what the company was doing, but I wasn’t passionate about my role, to be honest, I wasn’t really passionate about anything in my life.
