If you’ve spent any amount of time on social media, you’ve probably come across a plethora of content touting metabolism-boosting “hacks”: drinking cold water, green tea, and coffee; eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day; making your food as spicy as possible; cold plunging in ice water; wearing a weighted vest. What’s worth implementing? What’s simply noise? Read this week’s blog to find out.
Read MoreIn the ever-evolving landscape of nutrition, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potential ally in the pursuit of our health and nutrition goals. However, it's crucial to approach this technology with a healthy dose of skepticism. From my (admittedly biased) viewpoint, AI's capabilities, while promising, cannot completely replace the nuanced guidance provided by a human nutrition coach.
Read MoreIt’s the middle of January and you’re a couple of weeks into your New Year’s resolution.

Read MoreIt’s a brand new year and we usually head into it with big aspirations and lofty plans for the year ahead. Sometimes our renewed motivation is paired with new challenges, and it seems like Dry January (or a self-commitment to no alcohol for the month of January) is often a common part of that. Personally, I’m a huge fan of Dry January (or any temporary pause in drinking) as it gives us an opportunity to assess if a short period of sobriety has us feeling any different - in mood, appetite, energy, or in any other area of life.

Read MoreY’all, I LOVE oatmeal. It’s something I could eat for multiple meals a day because I love it that much. This week’s recipe is my go-to version of oatmeal and I love it because it’s protein-packed, sweet and nutritious. It’s something I can eat before or after a workout and sometimes I enjoy it at dinner when I don’t feel like having something savory or cooking (it was a life-saver when I was pregnant!) I hope you like it as much as I do!
Read MoreMinerals. Where do they come from? They have existed in the planet we inhabit since its creation, filling our soil, rocks and water from dust that long rained down on us from exploding supernovas. Yep, exploding stars. They are elemental in form and very basic units and our bodies are infused with them everywhere. They are essential to us from the moment we are conceived in the womb, from the moment cells begin to divide and a heart begins to beat.

Read MoreIt’s just as important to develop strategies for times when you don’t have the capacity for laser focus as it is to maintain consistency when you’re aggressively pursuing a goal.
