Your morning coffee might be one reason you can't lose weight

I love my coffee as much as the next person, but here's what's happening when you drink it on an empty stomach:

☕ Coffee spikes your stress hormone cortisol📈 Cortisol raises your blood sugar
💉 Your body releases insulin to compensate
⚖️ Repeated insulin spikes make weight management nearly impossible

The simple fix? Either drink your coffee AFTER breakfast or add protein powder (like collagen) directly to your cup.

The protein stabilizes your blood sugar and keeps you feeling full and energized all morning long.Try this tomorrow and notice how much less hungry you are by 11am.

Your energy will be so much steadier too!Let me know how it works for you 👇

Ladies, let's talk about that frustrating moment when your body screams for chocolate but your jeans get tighter from just LOOKING at it...

Here's the wild part: After ovulation, your progesterone rises and insulin sensitivity DROPS.

Translation? Your body literally gets worse at processing carbs right when you start craving them most.

It's like your hormones are playing a trick on you. 🙄

But here's how to flip the script:

🥄 Fiber FIRST - Have that chocolate, but eat some flax seeds or berries first to slow the glucose spike

🍠 Smart carb swaps - Sweet potatoes, rice, lentils instead of processed sugar bombs

🥜 Protein + fat combo - Eat your nuts and protein BEFORE the carbs to keep blood sugar steady

⏰ Timing matters - Get your carbs earlier in the day when your body handles them best

Here's the truth:

Your cravings aren't a character flaw. They're your body asking for MORE ENERGY during this hormonal phase.

Instead of fighting your body, work WITH it. Smart fueling = better hormones, better mood, better everything.

This Mother’s Day I Chose French Fries Over Fitness (And Why My CGM Made Me Feel Okay About It)

The truth? I’m about to show you something REAL that most wellness influencers won’t share! 📊

My Mother’s Day feast: chocolate croissant, brunch bubbly, big lunch, gelato, fast food hamburger + fries, AND a bowl of cereal. Yes, really! 🥐🍨🍔

My CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) captured it all - the spikes, the crashes, my insulin working overtime.

Was it “bad”? Well... watch to see what happened! 👉

Here’s what I learned:

If I ate like this EVERY day? My energy would tank, hormones would revolt, and metabolism would crash.

BUT thanks to the 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle!), 80% of your results come from 20% of your consistent actions. By prioritizing blood sugar-friendly meals most of the time, your body builds the resilience to handle moments that matter — like celebrating Mother’s Day.

🎯 The REAL secret? It’s not about perfection. It’s about AWARENESS.

My CGM isn’t a diet police - it’s my empowerment tool! It shows me:

✅ How different foods affect MY unique body
✅ When I can indulge without worry
✅ How to get back on track quickly

Life is meant to be LIVED! I want my ice cream AND stable energy. And guess what?

I can have both! 🙌

Watch to see my glucose levels back to normal the next day.

No guilt. No shame. Just knowledge and balance.

Ladies, here's what I learned: building muscle matters MORE than losing pounds! Muscle burns energy 24/7, even when you're sleeping. Focus on your strength gains and how your clothes fit rather than obsessing over the scale.
Who else has discovered the power of resistance training?

For years, I was stuck in the "more cardio = better results" trap. Hours of HIIT and running with minimal progress and constant frustration.Then everything c...

🎃 If you’re wondering how Halloween treats can impact your blood sugar, I did a little experiment! 🍬

I tried a “healthier” candy option (KIND bar mini’s) and kept my blood sugar fairly stable—while there are peaks, they don’t rise very much over 6 mmol/L 🙌.

How? Here’s my strategy:

1️⃣ Prepped with Protein prior to Trick or Treating.

2️⃣ Kefir & Inositol: These powerhouses help keep glucose and insulin sensitivity in check, making it easier for my body to manage the sugar load 💪. As soon as I ate four mini Kind Bars, I enjoyed a glass of kefir (my new favourite!) and a scoop of inositol in water

3️⃣ Walked for 2 hours while Trick or Treating: Movement can work wonders for glucose control, helping muscles use up that sugar more effectively 🚶‍♀️.

Want to see how your body reacts to foods? Testing your response to food and exercise patterns using a CGM (Continue Glucose Monitor) can give you invaluable insights into making the best choices for your health—without missing out on the treats! It’s all about STRATEGY!

What Does “Balance” Truly Mean in Health? 🌞

Balance is a term we hear often in wellness, but what does it really mean?

Is it an elusive goal—a perfect harmony between work, rest, nutrition, and play? Or is it something more personal and fluid?

Maybe balance isn’t about having everything perfectly measured but rather aligning our daily choices with what feels right in the moment.

It’s about finding peace and fulfillment, even when life feels chaotic.

Reflect with me:
▪️What does balance mean to you?
▪️Is it a feeling, a state of mind, or something else?
▪️How do you know when you’ve achieved it?

For me, it’s a feeling.

It’s about becoming truly aligned with who I am. It means listening to my body’s needs, respecting my mind’s rhythms, and honoring my emotions without judgment. It’s about going inward and living in flow.

It’s about dancing (and sailing!).

When you become one with yourself, balance becomes less about perfection and more about accepting and thriving in the present moment.

So if I ask the question, “Are you in balance?”, how would you respond?

Gah, now to ask myself… “Am I in balance?”.
I guess it’s a bit of a continuum and an ever evolving goal. Putting more context to what it means (for you) can help you get there.

Is there a better goal than “Balance”?

Let’s redefine it in a way that truly supports our well-being. 💫
