Have you ever lost or gained weight and immediately assumed it was fat mass?

Your scale only tells part of the story. Knowing your body composition shows what’s really changing — muscle, fat, and bone. Because progress isn’t just about pounds… it’s about what those pounds are made of.

There’s a big difference in health when the scale goes down from fat mass vs muscle mass. But both show as pounds on the scale🤷🏻‍♀️

DEXA scans are the gold standard of body composition measurements. This easy scan takes less than ten minutes and gives you the information you need to make precise nutrition and training modifications.

Thank you and for letting me come talk to your team of powerful ladies💪⚽️

These women learned how to properly fuel their bodies around their cycles with a focus on pre/during/post training nutrition.

Female athletes are 5-7x more likely to experience an ACL tear. Muscle, tendon, and bone injuries, both chronic and acute, are absolutely a nutrition issue.

Do you want your team to be less injury prone and perform at their best? Let’s talk nutrition!

🚨 PSA: Your bathroom scale has been lying to you.

The number on the scale doesn't tell you much, yet we assume if it goes up or down, our fat mass is the only thing doing it.

Did you know there is a way to determine what percentage of your scale weight is fat vs muscle vs bone? Want to know what’s really going on inside your body?

A DEXA scan tells you EXACTLY: muscle mass, fat distribution, and bone density and is considered the "gold standard" when it comes to body composition testing. AND GUESS WHAT?!

I'm NOW OFFERING DEXA scans! 🤩

This painless, simple, and quick scan takes about 6-10 minutes and gives you detailed information about your body composition. Pair it with a nutrition consult for even more support!

🥬Think iceberg lettuce has no nutrients? Think again! While romaine and spinach are more nutrient-dense, iceberg still provides hydration, fiber, and small amounts of vitamins A & K.

🔬 Science says: It’s 92% water and can contribute to daily hydration! (USDA) 💦

Here is a breakdown of its nutritional content per 100g:

Calories: 15
Carbohydrates: 3.5g
Fiber: 1g
Fat: 0.2g
Protein: 0.5g
Vitamin A: 1080 IU
Vitamin C: 6mg
Vitamin K: 11.5ug
Calcium: 47mg

💡 Takeaway: Don’t ditch iceberg—just mix it up with darker greens for more nutrients! 🌱

Did you think it was pointless to eat?

Need something to bring to a holiday gathering?

These little grinch grapes are a fun alternative to all the typical holiday treats.

Grapes, strawberries, marshmallows. That’s it. Some people put banana as the bottom part of the hat but I was afraid it would turn brown so I cut a larger marshmallow to size and used that.

The kids had fun making these too!

Happy holidays to all and to all a good night.

The cleanse and detox industry is booming, expected to grow from a $66.23 billion market in 2024 to over $88 billion. But are cleanses really as beneficial as they claim? In this episode, we unpack the science behind detoxification and why your body doesn’t actually need a cleanse to thrive.

In this episode we talk about:


⭐️Why Cleanses Feel Effective: The scale may drop, but is it the weight loss you’re looking for?

⭐️The Truth About Detox: Your liver, kidneys, lungs, and sweat glands naturally detoxify your body every day. They don’t need extreme interventions—just the right nutrients and a clean diet to function optimally. So what are these nutrients?

⭐️The Problem with Cleanses: Most target only Phase 1 of liver detoxification, creating harmful intermediates if Phase 2 isn’t supported. Without proper nutrients, this imbalance can lead to chronic fatigue, inflammation, and other issues.

⭐️How to Truly Support Detoxification:

- Limit exposure to toxins like artificial colors, preservatives, and sweeteners.

-Provide your body with nutrient-dense foods rich in antioxidants, amino acids, and vitamins.

- Trust your body’s innate ability to heal and detoxify when given the right tools.

- Learn how your liver’s detox phases work, why many products fall short, and how to make educated choices that support your health—without falling for expensive, unnecessary cleanses.
