Yes!!!
Not everything has to be a superfood. We can just eat food, and it's ok.
Food is neutral.

Whether you’re Team Bananas or Team Blueberries, the key takeaway here is that there’s more to healthy eating than just nutrition facts.⁣⁠
⁠
Context matters. Preferences matter. Goals matter.⁣⁠
⁠
Instead of using an arbitrary list of food “rules” to determine what you eat, try to make dietary choices based on your unique body, goals, preferences, and needs.⁣⁠

We created a whole infographic to provide more insights on this. Check it out at the link below:

Nine years ago today was the beginning of my lifestyle change.

I started Trim Healthy Mama that day, and that alone made huge changes in my life.

In 2018, I met Terry Wahls MD and hearing her story live gave me the inspiration to do a round of the Wahls elimination diet, to narrow in on what still wasn't working for my body.

I also began my nutrition certifications through Precision Nutrition at that time.

Fast forward to today, where I'm continuing to further my peaceful relationship with food with help and inspiration from every client I have the privilege to meet. I'm living with a blend of Wahls Paleo and Trim Healthy - a huge plant and protein focus all the time - with the knowledge of those foods I don't tolerate.

It's still a journey and I'm grateful for it.

Client Win Wednesday

Sarah has done a LOT of mindset work this year, especially around letting food just be food - not good or bad - and the all-or-nothing thinking that traps so many people.

She's had a super busy summer. We finally caught up, and she had so much to share. A few highlights:

1. When she saw the goodies her family was loading in the cart for their vacation, she grabbed goodies for herself that fit her goals, instead of stressing about the added expense.

2. While eating foods she normally wouldn't, she told herself to enjoy them without stuffing herself, then move on... and didn't beat herself up afterwards.

3. After returning home, she jumped right back into her normal eating plan, without the normal stress or sense of dread - it wasn't a big deal to do this time.

The gains in Sarah's healthy relationship with food, and mental stress, are a HUGE sign that she's moving in the right direction!

Do you want to be like Sarah? I have three coaching spots open! Let's talk about what you want to achieve.

Client win, shared just now...I'm so proud of you, Carrie!

I have one 1:1 coaching spot open. If you want to tackle the mental work needed for long-term change, let's chat.

"So having my coaching call with Lisa D'Orazio and remembered that I took these pictures during church! I can’t remember the last time I was able to do this! Been on Ozempic for just over a year and have lost almost 20 pounds! E meals and XOs are my friends! A huuuuuge NSV right here!

Keep going on your journey! Don’t give up! And for this of you on a glp-1, don’t lose hope! Slow and steady wins the race!"

I've accomplished something over the past six months 🥳🥳🥳

Precision Nutrition Master Coach Certification is the first step in the NBHWC process, but it has been a complete eye opening experience to how to help my clients truly understand and accomplish their goals.

I'm so proud of this, and grateful to those clients that let me practice my skills along the way 🥰🥹

♥️♥️♥️ I love my clients! ♥️♥️♥️

Coaching puts me in touch with so many people I'd never otherwise meet, all because of a common threat - wanting to maximize the impact food has on their overall health and wellness.

Do you see yourself in any of these snippets? I have three 1:1 coaching spots open right now!

I shared some of the breakfasts, now here are some of the salads from the Foundational Menu that I keep coming back to during Fresh Start Together!

What's great about this menu is we adjust to our individual hunger/satiety in addition to our own tastes and dietary needs. These are all meal-salads that left me full, but could easily be made larger for people who are more volume eaters than I am.

Still dairy and gluten free, as always for me!

Come see how I help you keep this SUPER simple! We start in one week 🥳

I've made them both, but based on what I had on hand this weekend, it was for the win!

This bowl is mixed with shirataki rice for extra fiber and bulk. Others may have avocado added instead for more

What is my Fresh Start Together group?

We tackle that loooooooong list of options in the Foundational Menu, and how to turn it into a workable menu, customized for you but checking the boxes of the plan for the week.

As an example, here are some of the breakfasts I gravitate to while working this menu.

YES!!!
You are enough as you are, right now...no new you needed.

You deserve being fed the foods to nourish that you, and to form the habits that support that you.

That's the part that you might be continuing, or undertaking. But please don't think we need a different you. You are already perfect.

One more time for the people in the back 📣
