As a follow up to our article this week, grab a simple one-day meal plan. It's designed to reduce insulin spikes, stabilize energy, and support sustainable fat loss—gluten-free, corn-free, soy-free.

Sign up for our email list for nutrition tips, advice, and insight each week to empower your nutrition journey!

I thought it would be helpful to provide a meal plan that helps our previous post to make more sense in practice.

We haven't been as active on social media, but we are definitely still teaching and implementing revolutionary concepts in both therapy and nutrition. In one of our group meetings this past week, this book was brought to our attention, and our team and clients have been loving it!

Give it a read through your audiobook or digital book app or choice.

Our nutritionist, Jackie is on the blog today sharing her go-to salad dressing recipe. This goes well with basically any salad combo you could imagine, and it has the necessary fats to help improve cognitive function. She also includes insight as to why the commercial and commonly-used oils are so detrimental to both physical and mental health.

The fats you eat either fuel your gut, brain, and hormones, or quietly destroy them. Let me share an easy, anti-inflammatory salad dressing!

We all have moments where something simple feels impossibly hard—whether that is starting a conversation, waking up early, making a decision, or holding a boundary. And in those moments, the internal dialogue starts: “Why is this such a big deal for me?”“Other people don’t seem to struggle with this.”“Am I just weak?” The answer isn’t weakness. It’s struggle threshold....

In therapy, we talk a lot about thoughts, behaviors, boundaries, and relationships—and rightfully so. But here’s the truth I share with every client I work with: You can’t out-talk human biology. Today, we'll talk about 3 supplements for better mental health. If your body is depleted, inflamed, or off-balance, you’re going to feel it in your mood, energy, focus, and sleep....

We’ve all had that friend, client, or family member who seems trapped in a loop. They complain about the same issue over and over, ask for advice, and then immediately dismiss every single suggestion. We refer to this, in my world, as the help-rejecting complaining syndrome. You offer ideas, encouragement, resources — and what do you get back? “That won’t work.”...

Trauma is one of those words that gets thrown around a lot these days—but here’s the truth: if you’ve lived through something overwhelming, painful, or deeply unsettling, and it’s still affecting how you think, feel, or relate to others, it’s worth paying attention to what we want to talk about on the blog today.

It's time to find ways to heal from trauma and reclaim your life. There are neurological ways your brain responds to things you might suppress and not address. Could this be something you are struggling with? Would addressing some of those events allow you to unlock your full potential?

Take a read on the blog and let us know what you think!

Sleep is one of the most foundational blocks in mental wellness. It's often overlooked by so many people...and it shouldn't be!

If you’re like many adults, it’s probably been a while since you felt the kind of energy you can experience after a good sleep. Insomnia and poor sleep quality are rampant in today's society, with studies showing that 1 in 3 adults worldwide don’t get enough rest.

Sleep doesn’t just affect your mood or energy level; it’s the foundation of mental health and resilience. Without it, you’re left struggling to perform at your best, both mentally and emotionally.

Check out the blog post for more information. (We're back up and running for posts!)
