This post has been over a decade in the making, and after having the same conversations over and over every November for 11 years, I decided […]

Your nervous system is like your body’s command center, and knowing how to balance your nervous system when things start to get out of whack can play a big part in how you feel. As a fitness instructor, stress resiliency & nutrition coach I can honestly tell you I don’t care what you weigh. I […]
COVID Weight Gain
COVID weight gain. It’s real, and it can be frustrating. Listen, I get it. The last 18 months have been challenging enough, but it feels like adding insult to injury to find yourself weighing more than you are happy weighing as a result. But the thing is, your body has one job, and that job […]
