I could NOT get asked a single question more than this:

What are the "best" protein bars on the market - and what makes a "good" bar, anyway?

Bookmark, save and share this authoritative guide to protein bars, powders, and products of all kinds!

I get asked a lot of questions as a nutritionist - are carbs bad for me? How do I make healthy meals for my family? What's the deal with the Paleo diet? And so forth. But by far, the most common question I get from nearly every client is: what are the best brands of protein bars (and, for the sake o...

When it comes to goals, the size of your TRY has to match the size of your WHY.

In other words - big changes need big effort. Smaller changes; less so.

Are you being realistic about what it takes to get the fitness & nutrition results you really want?

Read up for my tips on how to motivate & move toward your bigger goals.

I was coaching a client today, and she told me she was struggling with staying focused on her WHY. (To be clear, I think it's crucial that every client have a strong handle on their "WHY" - meaning; their true reason and motivation for embarking on a lifestyle change journey. Without a clear, define...

Really excited to announce that I'm an expert voice at the upcoming Elemental Wellness' WELLNESS DAY FOR MOMS, a day retreat focusing on emotional, physical, and s*xual health for moms.

I highly encourage you to check out this incredible event coming up August 19, and sign up before July 15 for early bird pricing and to reserve a spot in this intimate group retreat.

I'll see you there, mamas. ❤

Everyone wants "sustainable results" from their fitness and weight loss programs - but have you ever stopped to consider that the BALANCE between sustainability and results isn't quite so easy?

If you want to get - and KEEP - results long-term, you have to break free of the restriction-binge cycle and commit to just a few key behaviours - all of which I outline in this week's post.

Let me know what resonates here for your journey.

When I ask new clients (that have worked with coaches in the past) about why they didn't continue that relationship/diet/method, their answer usually falls into one of two categories: (1) They didn't get results (2) They got results, but they weren't "sustainable" And herein lies the Coach's Paradox...

Have you had success with weight loss before - but for some reason, thrown it all away with a conscious (or not) return to bad habits?

If so you're DEFINITELY not alone.

I see this in clients all the time - and I've deemed it "results rebellion," the (usually) intentional undoing of all things healthy after a period of killing it super hard.

Why do we do it? And how do we STOP - so we can actually keep the results we're working so hard for?

Read on.

Consider this - a client gets on my program and has weight loss success. Eventually, the "newbie gains" and week-to-week scale victories start getting smaller and smaller, or even come to a complete and utter halt (more on true plateaus here) - and the client panics. Shaken, they turn to me for advi...

I often tell clients to "fall in love with the process" when embarking on a weight loss journey - and central to that is learning to notice & appreciate the NSVs (non-scale victories) that happen along the way.

My newest post reminds you of ALL the amazing things that transform in your life when you choose to get healthy - not just on your scale, or in the mirror - but far beyond.

Have a read and let me know what resonates with you.

90% of my clients come to me specifically to lose weight. That's cool; I get it. Most people initially want to lose weight because they want to look better. Any coach who's been in the game a long time can tell you that straight-up vanity is one of the top weight-loss motivators, and it spans across...

Do you feel like you've been dieting "forever" and kind of lost the script when it comes to WHAT you're actually doing?

Have you been maintaining a caloric deficit for a long time but feel like you're not getting the results you want from it?

Check out this week's post for a little bit of perspective on being in a "perma-cut" - and how truly fit people avoid this trap--

If you've ever had success with a weight loss program, I'm sure it was from some combination of movement, calorie deficit, and improved healthy habits (sleep, stress management, etc). Most likely, it was that second one (calorie deficit) that pushed the hardest to help you achieve fat loss, as prope...

If you're already on the food-tracking train - congrats.

You're doing something amazing for your health, and using a powerful tool to learn more about the way that different foods fuel your body.

But did you know that most people who start tracking their food ALSO make the one big mistake that can actually STALL their weight loss and results?

In this week's blog, I recommend one simple shift in the way you approach food logging that can fast-track you toward your weight loss goals - so read on!

A client came to me for nutrition help a while back, and in response to my intake form question "Are you willing to track your food intake?" she responded: "Yes, but I'm a more of tracker than a planner." That stuck with me. For years, I've encouraged clients to become more mindful of their food int...

Confused by nutrition labels? Want to make better food choices for your family - but not sure where to start?

I recently gave an interview for Honeykids on navigating healthy nutrition in the supermarket and beyond - read and save this one for a really great guide!

Ever wondered what all that nutrition gibberish means on the flip side of pre-packaged foods at the supermarket? We break it down for you so you're in the know the next time you hit the shops...

Lose weight without tracking, logging, or counting a thing.

Is that even possible?

In this week's blog, I argue that it IS - with just one simple trick.

If you're looking for a weight loss solution that doesn't involve calorie counting, macro tracking, photo-taking, food logging, or any other methods of nutritional data entry, consider this: You can lose weight simply by committing to cooking all your meals at home. You read that right. Simply by co...

If you've been practicing healthy habits for a while, and all of a sudden they just feel like total drudgery...

You might be experiencing "discipline fatigue."

It happens to all healthy people at one point or another - but what's crucial is that you nip it in the bud so it doesn't threaten your progress.

Read on for my strategies on how to do just that - long-term.

Imagine this: You start a weight loss program, and lo and behold - it actually works. You're tracking calories, balancing macros, logging workouts, lifting weights, hitting steps, and watching the numbers on the scale (and the calipers!) happily go down. Weeks go by, and you're revelling in the comp...
