Let me as your health & life coach guide you to become the best and highest version of yourself today! 𝘎𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘰 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 � 𝘖𝘧 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩

As a holistic health & life coach I have a passion for the fire inside of each of us that looks to take control of own health journey and integrate wellness it into a successful well-rounded life. All too often we can see areas of our lives where we have achieved success and wish we could have that same sense of achievement permeate all other areas. I believe that with the proper guidance and support, the healthy life we all strive for is achievable in mind, body and spirit. ⁣
⁣
I like to approach my journey with my clients holistically; first assessing their strengths and limitations in their daily lives and their current lifestyle habits. Lasting change comes from a series of small steps that occur incrementally and can become seamlessly intergraded into a client’s daily habits. I feel that my strength in understanding the nuances of each of my clients’ present lifestyles and challenges allows me to custom tailor my support of their journey in a way that allows for the greatest impact and realization of their goals.⁣

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆? 🧬🧐⁣
⁣
As a health coach, I am frequently asked about the complexities of weight loss and how the body sheds excess pounds. It's a frequently misunderstood subject, so let's delve into the science of how fat leaves your body when you lose weight.⁣
⁣
We are essentially burning stored fat for energy when we lose weight. Triglycerides, the molecules that store fat in our adipose tissue (fat cells), are broken down into smaller components like glycerol and fatty acids during this process. These smaller components are then released into the bloodstream for the body to use as fuel.⁣
⁣
So, how exactly does fat leave the body? ⁣
⁣
You might be surprised by the answer. The body excretes fat in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Yes, you breathe it out and sweat it out!⁣
⁣
When the body burns fat for energy, it goes through an oxidation process in which it combines with oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water. When you breathe, carbon dioxide is transported through your bloodstream to your lungs, where it is exhaled. Similarly, water is either used by the body or excreted through sweat, urine, or other bodily fluids.⁣
⁣
It is critical to understand that weight loss is not restricted to a single area of the body, such as the belly or thighs. When you lose weight, your body burns fat from all over, including those hard-to-reach areas. The rate at which fat is burned from different areas, on the other hand, can vary depending on genetics, hormonal factors, and other individual factors.⁣
⁣
It's also important to note that losing weight too quickly can have negative consequences, like muscle loss, nutrient deficiency, and other health issues. It is critical to pursue a slow, steady, and long-term weight loss strategy.⁣
⁣
Remember that losing weight is a complicated process involving many factors, and it's important to focus on overall health and well-being rather than just a number on the scale.⁣
⁣
Be patient with your body and give it the time and attention it requires to achieve healthy, long-term weight loss.⁣

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 “𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵” 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 🏆🧗‍♂️⁣
⁣
As a health coach, I've worked with countless people who have approached me with similar “health” goals. While I always strive to give my clients the best guidance and support possible, there is one thing I always remind them of: 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘴. ⁣
⁣
It's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of a specific level of fitness. We see images of perfectly toned bodies on social media and compare ourselves to them, believing that if we just work hard enough, we can look like that as well.⁣
⁣
Behind every set of abs or bulging bicep is a person who has faced their own set of difficulties. They may have a genetic predisposition to being lean or muscular, or they may be guided by a personal trainer and nutritionist. Perhaps they are experiencing mental health issues and are using exercise as a coping mechanism. Whatever the case may be, it is critical to remember that we cannot expect to achieve the same results as others. ⁣
⁣
This is why it's critical to concentrate on our own health and fitness journey rather than attempting to imitate someone else's. When we concentrate on ourselves, we can consider our individual circumstances and tailor our approach to our specific needs.⁣
⁣
But, most importantly, we must remember that our journey to better health, fitness, wellness, etc is about much more than just the end result. It's about the journey itself, with its ups and downs, challenges and triumphs, and personal growth. It is about learning to love and respect our bodies, as well as to treat ourselves with kindness and compassion. ⁣
⁣
So, to anyone starting a health and fitness journey, remember that there is a person behind your goals. Take the time to become acquainted with yourself and your body, and approach your journey with patience and self-love. ⁣

Intuitive eating is a mindful and sustainable approach to eating that prioritizes listening to your body's signals of hunger and fullness, and eating for nourishment and enjoyment rather than for restrictive dieting or weight loss.⁣
⁣
I work on this with many clients, It is a powerful tool for improving your relationship with food, your body, and can lead to long-term weight management and overall health.⁣

⁣
Side note: Intuitive eating can be challenging, especially if you've been dieting for a long time. Consider seeking support from a registered dietitian, health coach (like myself), or therapist who specializes in intuitive eating to help you navigate the process.⁣
⁣
Intuitive eating is a journey, not a destination. It may take time to fully embrace the principles of intuitive eating and feel comfortable with your body and your relationship with food.⁣
⁣
But with patience and persistence, intuitive eating can help you achieve sustainable fat loss and a healthier relationship with food and your body.⁣

Anxiety is a common mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Anxiety disorders can cause a range of symptoms, including rapid heartbeat, sweating, and shortness of breath, which can mimic symptoms of a cardiac event.⁣
⁣
This can lead to increased stress and anxiety, which can, in turn, negatively affect heart health. In this post, we will discuss the relationship between anxiety and heart health, along with providing some coping strategies to manage anxiety.⁣
⁣
•𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘉𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘈𝘯𝘹𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩⁣
⁣
Research has shown that anxiety can have a negative impact on heart health. Chronic anxiety can cause the body to release “stress hormones”, such as cortisol and adrenaline, which can increase heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. These changes can put a strain on the heart and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions.⁣
⁣
Anxiety can also lead to unhealthy behaviors that can increase the risk of heart disease. For example, people with anxiety may engage in behaviors such as smoking, drinking alcohol, and overeating to cope with their anxiety.⁣
⁣
These behaviors can contribute to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity, all of which are risk factors for heart disease.⁣
⁣
•𝘊𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘈𝘯𝘹𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩⁣

If you are experiencing anxiety, there are several coping strategies that you can try to help manage your symptoms and protect your heart health!⁣

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹?🧠⁣
⁣
As a health coach, I frequently work with clients who are preoccupied with the need for control. This need for control can manifest itself in a number of ways, ranging from micromanaging every aspect of their lives to feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty and unpredictability. Understanding the underlying causes of this need for control can help us manage it more effectively and live healthier, more fulfilling lives.⁣
⁣
Fear drives control. We fear uncertainty and failure. We may worry that if we lose control, something bad will happen. Because control provides safety and security, this fear can be especially intense for those who have experienced trauma or difficult life circumstances. ⁣
⁣
We all want to feel in charge of our lives and decisions. To compensate for limited choices or forced situations, we may try to exert control in other areas. ⁣
⁣
Perfectionism fuels our need for control. To avoid failure, we may feel compelled to control everything. Trying to achieve perfection can cause stress and anxiety. ⁣
⁣
How can we healthy handle our desire for control? We can control our thoughts, actions, and reactions, but not others. Letting go of what we can't control and focusing on what we can makes us feel stronger and less anxious. ⁣
⁣
Practice mindfulness and self-awareness. When we become more aware of our thoughts and emotions, we can see when fear, perfectionism, or autonomy drive our need for control. This awareness can help us choose healthier coping strategies for these underlying issues. ⁣
⁣
Finally, therapy or coaching can help. Professionals can help us see things differently and learn new ways to manage our need for control. ⁣
⁣
Control is often driven by fear, autonomy, and perfectionism. Focusing on what we can control, practising mindfulness, and seeking help can help us manage this need in a healthy and productive way.⁣

Today is International Women's Day, a day to celebrate and honor the incredible contributions of women to our families, communities, and the world. As a health coach, I want to take this opportunity to remind you of something important: your health and well-being matter, and you deserve to prioritize them.⁣
⁣
As women and mothers, you are often the backbone of our families and communities. You juggle multiple roles and responsibilities, from caretaker and homemaker to professional and community leader. You are the nurturers, the caregivers, and the ones who hold everything together.⁣
⁣
But in the midst of all this, it's easy to forget about your own health and well-being. It's easy to put yourself last on the list of priorities and focus solely on the needs of others. But I want to remind you that you cannot pour from an empty cup.⁣
⁣
Your health and well-being are essential, not just for your own sake but for the sake of those around you. When you take care of yourself, you are better able to care for others. When you prioritize your physical, mental, and emotional health, you have more energy, more patience, and more love to give to your loved ones.⁣
⁣
So on this International Women's Day, I want to encourage you to make a commitment to yourself. Commit to taking care of your health, both for your own sake and for the sake of those you love. This means making time for exercise, eating nourishing foods, getting enough sleep, and taking care of your mental health through practices like mindfulness, meditation, or therapy.⁣
⁣
It also means setting boundaries and saying no when you need to. It means asking for help when you need it and accepting that you don't have to do everything on your own.⁣
⁣
As a health coach, I am committed to supporting you in this journey. I know that it can be hard to prioritize yourself when there are so many demands on your time and energy. But I want you to know that you deserve to feel your best, and the world needs you at your best.⁣
⁣
With love and respect,⁣

As a health coach, I am often asked about ways to improve brain health. One nutrient that I often recommend for brain health is magnesium. Magnesium is an essential mineral that is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including those that affect the brain.⁣
⁣
Magnesium is necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous system, and it plays a crucial role in regulating neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals between nerve cells, and they are essential for healthy brain functions. Magnesium helps regulate the release and uptake of neurotransmitters, including dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, which are involved in mood, learning, and memory.⁣
⁣
Magnesium also helps protect the brain from damage. One study found that magnesium intake was associated with a lower risk of dementia. Another study found that magnesium supplementation improved cognitive function and reduced inflammation in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.⁣
⁣
In addition to its benefits for brain health, magnesium also has a wide range of other health benefits. Magnesium helps regulate blood sugar levels, supports bone health, and can help reduce the risk of heart disease.⁣
⁣
It is important to note that many people may not be getting enough magnesium in their diets. Magnesium is found in a variety of foods, including nuts, seeds, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables, but it can be difficult to get enough through diet alone. Some individuals may also have conditions that increase their need for magnesium, such as diabetes or gastrointestinal disorders.⁣
⁣
In conclusion, magnesium is an essential mineral that is crucial for brain health. Research has shown that magnesium can improve cognitive function and memory, protect the brain from damage, and reduce the risk of dementia.⁣

⁣
Have you ever gotten through a tough workout and after you felt like you can take on the world?…🧐⁣
⁣
Exercising regularly can boost your confidence and resilience, helping you to develop an "I got this" attitude. This is because physical activity releases endorphins, neurotransmitters that promote feelings of happiness and well-being, and can also help regulate stress levels.⁣
⁣
Additionally, working out challenges and pushes the body to its limits, which can help build mental toughness and a sense of control over one's body and mind.⁣
⁣
If you’re looking to increase your “mental toughness” try incorporating strength training and high-intensity interval training into your routine, as these types of workouts have been shown to have the most significant impact on mental toughness.⁣
⁣
In conclusion, a regular workout routine can help cultivate a "never give up" mentality, making it easier to face challenges and persevere in the face of adversity.⁣
⁣
No matter what’s going on in your life, remember!…YOU GOT THIS🙏🏼⁣

⁣
The need for control is a fundamental aspect of human nature. We all have a desire to be in charge of our lives, to make decisions that affect our future and to have a sense of agency over our actions. But why do we feel this need for control?⁣
⁣
One of the primary reasons is the sense of security it provides. When we have control over a situation, we feel more confident and less anxious. This is because we believe that we are able to predict and influence the outcome of events. In contrast, when we feel out of control, we may feel helpless and anxious.⁣
⁣
Another reason for the need for control is the desire for self-determination. We want to be in control of our own lives, to make our own choices and to have autonomy over our actions. This desire for self-determination is rooted in our sense of self-worth and self-esteem.⁣
⁣
The need for control also stems from a sense of responsibility. We feel a sense of obligation to take care of ourselves and those around us. This includes making decisions that will benefit ourselves and others in the long-term.⁣
⁣
In addition, the need for control is also related to the human need for achievement. We want to be able to accomplish goals and feel a sense of accomplishment. This drive for achievement is often linked to the need for control, as we believe that by being in control, we can better achieve our goals.⁣
⁣
In conclusion, the need for control is a complex psychological phenomenon that is rooted in a variety of factors, including the need for security, self-determination, responsibility, and achievement. Understanding the underlying reasons for the need for control can help us better manage our own desires and motivations, and ultimately lead to a more fulfilling life.⁣

Now, why is a health coach so much more than just a personal trainer?🧐⁣
⁣
A health coach is much more than just a personal trainer. While a personal trainer is focused on helping individuals reach their physical fitness goals, a health coach takes a holistic approach to wellness, addressing not just exercise, but also nutrition, stress management, and overall lifestyle.⁣
⁣
A health coach is a partner and guide, who helps individuals identify and achieve their personal health and wellness goals. They are trained to listen, ask questions, and provide support and encouragement. They work with clients to create a personalized plan that addresses the unique needs and challenges of each individual.⁣
⁣
One of the key differences between a personal trainer and a health coach is that a health coach is not just focused on exercise. They understand that exercise is just one aspect of overall wellness and that nutrition, stress management, and other lifestyle factors all play a role in achieving optimal health. They work with clients to make sustainable changes in all areas of their lives, not just in the gym.⁣
⁣
A health coach also takes into account the emotional and mental well-being of the client. They understand that a healthy lifestyle is more than just what you eat and how you exercise, it's also about how you feel.⁣
⁣
They work with clients to help them understand their emotions, learn stress management techniques, and develop a positive mindset.⁣
⁣
In short, a health coach is a holistic wellness professional who helps individuals achieve optimal health and well-being by addressing the whole person, not just their physical fitness.⁣
⁣
They are a partner, a guide, and a support system for individuals on their journey to better health.⁣

⁣
Despite the best of intentions, once the glow of a fresh new year wears off, many people struggle to make good on their plans. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, 46% of people who made New Year’s resolutions were successful. That means over half of the people who set a goal for the new year will fail!⁣
⁣
The study also involved non-resolvers, people who did not make a New Year’s resolution but had a goal they wanted to achieve that year. Only 4% of non-resolvers were successful at achieving their goals, a far bleaker result than those who did make a New Year’s resolution.⁣
⁣
Don’t set yourself up for failure this year by vowing to make too many or huge changes that will be hard to keep. Instead start small and build momentum of small “wins”.⁣

WE ARE ALL ON OUR OWN JOURNEY

When it came to losing weight and getting healthy, for me it was literally a matter of life and death. I was nearly seven years old when my father died of a sudden massive heart attack at the age of 41. He was a fit and active man whose own father died at 47. This family history alerted doctors to a concerning pattern and by the age of 9 I had been diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia.

Both of my parents were active on a daily basis and attended the gym. They were great role models for fitness, but like many kids, I preferred television and computer games. When I was professionally diagnosed as an overweight teenager, doctors wanted to put me on statin drugs. That was the turning point for me; even as a young teen I knew I didn’t want to be put on drugs nor did I want to suffer the same fate as my father and grandfather. I first began my journey into fitness by going to the gym where I started by using weights and an elliptical machine. Though my healthy change was rewarding, the weight didn’t come off until I changed my diet. I started to change my diet with a basic focus; lean meats, protein shakes, egg whites, fruits and vegitables, brown rice and whole grains. My competing in two natural bodybuilding competitions is what triggered me to really begin to look at food differently. My focus on a nutritional approach to my diet evolved from counting macros to feeding my body in an intuitive way that resulted in following a Paleo diet.

Through a balanced diet, tracking macronutrients, eating intuitively, and weight training, I have been able to create a perfect balance of feeding my body for body building performance and focusing on maintaining my overall health. I believe fundamentally in connecting intuitively with your body. Personally, it gives me the flexibility to eat a wholesome diet that allows me to enjoy great food while also ensuring my body takes in only what’s best for itself.
