The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in your home. It’s where every meal is prepared, and you probably put a lot of effort into getting healthy food on the table! But, did you know that some of the dishes you cook with and the cleaners you use may contain chemicals that can be toxic to your families health!? If you consider health a top priority, and want to reduce your family’s exposure to toxins, the kitchen is a great place to start!
Today i'm sharing six simple kitchen swaps to...
I have received a lot of questions lately about counting calories, so I wanted to share my perspective, especially after reflecting on how my views have evolved over the years.
In general, I do think counting calories can be helpful in the beginning of a health or weight loss journey. It can teach you how to read nutrition labels, understand portion sizes, and become more aware of what is actually in the foods you are eating. That awareness can be incredibly valuable at first.
However, I do not...
Today, let's talk about a subtle but very real part of diet mentality. I call it the "Starting Over Syndrome." It's such a subtle source of sabotage for so many of us. Why do we do this to ourselves, the whole “start over” thing? You know the drill, you miss a workout, overindulge in a meal, eat the ice cream straight from the tub, and suddenly it’s time for a brand-new me. Fresh start. Monday. After the holidays. In the New Year. Heck, even 3 PM Thursday.
I’ve been there more times than I...
Life has a way of throwing curveballs. A busy season at work, a move, kids’ activities kicking into overdrive, family stress, or even just those weeks where nothing seems to go as planned. If you’ve ever felt like your healthy habits slip the minute life shifts, you’re not alone. The truth is, none of us can live in a perfectly structured bubble. Life is full of change, and the real magic lies in learning how to stay steady in the midst of it.
Here’s the key, healthy habits don’t have to be...
I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but if you’ve been waiting for the “perfect moment” to start getting healthy, can I gently encourage you? You don’t need a Monday. You don’t need a new month. You don’t need a full fridge of organic food or a color-coded workout calendar. You just need one small step. And that’s enough for today.
I know how easy it is to get overwhelmed by all the things we think we should be doing. We see women crushing long workouts, drinking green smoothies,...
Let’s be real. The minute you start looking into living a non-toxic lifestyle, it’s easy to feel like you’ve opened Pandora’s box. Suddenly, everything from your shampoo to your soup spoons feels suspicious. There's so much information, so many opinions, the labels are full of mystery ingredients, it's a lot, and you can be left wondering, "Am I supposed to throw everything away and start from scratch?" Take a deep breath. It doesn’t have to be that way.
In fact, living a lower-toxic lifestyle...
A high-protein diet isn’t just for bodybuilders or people chasing weight loss goals—it’s about feeling strong, steady, and well-nourished from the inside out. More protein can lead to more stable energy, fewer cravings, better blood sugar balance, and even improved mood.
The good news? You don’t need to follow strict rules or change everything overnight. Just a few small, consistent tweaks can make a big difference. If you’ve been wondering whether a high-protein approach could help you feel...
If there’s one thing I’ve said over and over again — to myself, to my kids, to just about anyone who would listen — it’s to do the hard thing first.
It’s easy to tackle the simple, comfortable stuff and leave the harder things sitting there, staring at you. But the truth is, when you start with the thing you’re most resistant to, something shifts inside you. It’s not just about checking it off your list — it’s about building strength.
Next month I’m turning 50, and I’ve been feeling that even...
Let’s be real. Trying to keep up with all the health advice out there can make your head spin. One person’s swearing off all sugar, another’s preaching keto, someone else is plunging into an ice bath at 6 a.m., and then you’ve got folks just saying, “You only need to eat real food and walk more.” It’s a lot. And for most of us? Honestly, it’s kind of overwhelming.
But here’s the good news—when you take a step back from all the noise, there’s actually a ton of common ground among health...
