I am OVER confusing advice, disgusting diets, and boring exercise.
Healthy doesn't have to be hard!

Can’t see a difference? Neither can I.

Because it’s only been 1 month.

Since my back surgery I’m focusing on form and the safety and longevity of my body rather than progress for progress’ sake.

Some important things to know:

🧠The first 6 weeks of any new workout program yield mostly neural changes - your brain is building pathways to your muscle fibers.

💪After the pathways are built, you’ll start to see more noticeable changes in your muscles.

😬 Got a guess at the average quit time on new workout programs?

😩 4-6 weeks…just before visible changes really kick in.

My point? KEEP AT IT. Be patient.

If you started a new exercise plan for the new year, beat the 4-6 week quit time. Expect results for fat loss or muscle gain in months, not weeks.

Set yourself up for success and find your non-scale motivators.

👍 Follow my account to see my 6-week+ pictures, because we’ll be able to see it, with patience and persistent consistency.

We got this. 😉💪

I’m here to get my clients un-stuck.

Being healthy is not always easy, but it shouldn’t have to be so hard either. It gets hard if:

❌ Your body doesn’t digest, absorb, or metabolize properly

❌ Your hormones are out of whack

❌ Your metabolism is totally freaked out

❌ There’s so much information you’re totally confused about what to do with food and fitness

❌ You struggle to fit healthy habits into your busy lifestyle

The good news?

Any and all of that can be addressed.

✅ Functional testing to ensure your body is working properly (and holistic integrative fixes to get you back to 100% function ASAP)

✅ Clear-the-air classes to show you what is worth your focus and what you can stop stressing about

✅ 1:1 coaching to tailor healthy habits to your lifestyle, preferences, family, and budget

DM me or drop a “Me!” in the comments if you’re ready to experience healthy that isn’t so freakin’ hard. 😘

And there are dozens more… Brain fog, sleeping

And there are dozens more…

Brain fog, sleeping too much, not sleeping enough, digestive issues, slow healing, worsened depression and anxiety…

Basically, if your body isn’t getting the nutrients it needs, anything else in the body can go wrong.

I share this for anyone who is considering a low-calorie, high-exercise life in the next couple of weeks.

DON’T MAKE IT SO HARD!

Not only is that a miserable existence, you’re actually leading your body into a slower metabolism, totally freaking it out, and teaching it how to store fat better in the future.

Instead, if you want to lose fat, try:

✨ Increasing the amount of fruits and veggies you eat by adding 1/2-1 c at each meal. They take up a lot of space for not a lot of calories, so if you stop eating at the same fullness level you’ll end up with slightly fewer calories overall.

✨ Taking a short walk (or other movement you enjoy) for 10-15 minutes a few times a week to start. Work that up to 20-30 minutes after you establish the habit.

✨ Be patient. Losing fat and keeping it off is not a quick business…it’s a slow and steady vibe. Doing it in a way that supports your metabolism will leave you FAR healthier in 6 months than a quick fix now that drops 30 lbs, lowers your metabolism, and causes you to gain it all back.

Trust the process. 😌

I don’t hand out fish around here. 🐟 I pass out fishing rods and teach you to use them. 🎣

For me as a coach, I haven’t done my job just because you met a health goal.

🌟I’ve done my job if you understand how you met it.
🌟 If you have the skills to continue the habits that got you there.
🌟 If you can look critically at unhealthy info and recognize why it won’t serve you.
🌟 If you can keep perspective when things seem to be moving more slowly than you’d like.
🌟 If you can give yourself grace and do your best when life gets rocky instead of giving up and calling yourself a failure.
🌟 If you can recognize the value of nourishing and listening to your body rather than manhandling it in to submission.

That’s when I’ve done my job.

Liz came to me looking for help with PCOS and hormone regulation to start her family.

She now has a healthy 2-year-old and is rockin’ it with regular exercise, much improved blood sugar, and a low-pressure relationship with food.

Check out her story!

🥛All dairy is NOT inflammatory! Truth bombs:

🥛All dairy is NOT inflammatory!

Truth bombs:

💥Dairy will be inflammatory to you if you have a sensitivity, intolerance, or allergy to it.

💥 The type of fat that naturally occurs in dairy (saturated fat) is inflammatory and is linked with worse outcomes in inflammatory conditions like diabetes and dementia.

👍 Dairy is an awesome source of protein and our most concentrated source of calcium.

👍 Be aware of your overall saturated fat intake and do the dairy limbo - go as low-fat as you can go and still enjoy it!

👍 If you’re symptomatic with dairy or feel it is causing inflammation, get tested for lactose intolerance, dairy allergy, and intestinal damage/inflammation.

Save this post!!

Hormones basically control everything in your body. When they get wonky, all kinds of things can go wrong.

If you’re suffering from any of these symptoms, know that it isn’t “normal,” and that you don’t have to live with it! Try this:

☑️ Make sure that you move AND rest regularly. Six days a week of high-intensity exercise is too much for your adrenal system. Sorry, not sorry. Switch it up for lower intensity exercise like yoga, Pilates, or muscular endurance strength training a couple days a week.

☑️ Incorporate as many different plant foods as you can throughout the day…it’s easier than you think. One smoothie or oatmeal with fruits, seeds, and almond or peanut butter can easily have 8 or more plant foods in it. Add a salad, mixed veggies, or a veggie soup at some point and you’ve got another five.

☑️ Have a cortisol reduction plan. This means regular activities you do to blow off steam and relax. From nature walks to reading, from deep breathing to journaling, from meditative martial arts to music, there’s something for everyone. Find your things and plan to do them regularly.

☑️ Eat at least one fat source at every meal: nuts (PB and AB count!), seeds, avocado, fish, meat, dairy, or oils.

☑️ Eat enough. This is tough to make a blanket statement for, as everyone’s needs are different. But if you’re worn down and things in your body don’t seem to be working properly, you are likely undereating. Find a dietitian to help you dial in if you aren’t sure.

If implementing these hormone health strategies doesn’t help, dig deeper. Find a functional doctor or dietitian who can run some hormone testing and get to the root of the problem. Sometimes it takes more than lifestyle changes to solve.

Save this post and come back to it.
