Not so long ago I had a client that came to me wanting to find the best workout routine and diet plan to lose weight and keep it off. She felt the need to find a high intensity daily training fitness plan in order for her to lose the weight and keep it off for good. She was motivated and I remember she told me she had the "willpower" to stick with it this time. However, when she started working with me she discovered the secrete to exercise and movement. What she discovered will change your v...
Omega-3s can be a beneficial part of someone's diet, but unfortunately our oceans are being over fished to the point of depletion. What if we had an alternative to those fish oil Omega-3s? What if we could get a renewable and plant-based source of Omega-3s that can be just as healthy for us as the famous EPA and DHA omega-3s we get from fish? Well, we can.! Listen in today to part two on my discussion on Fats, where I'll cover...Types of omega-3sHow Omega-3s are beneficial for our h...
Something so common in the nutrition and health world is this idea of the magic bullet nutrient. Fats in food used to be that magic bullet for me. I used to think that if people could just get higher amounts of monounsaturated and omega-3 fatty acids in their diet, things would be so much better. They’d be able to enjoy food, feel satiated more often, and not overeat. Boy was this thinking flawed! In this episode, I break down the skinny on fats in our diets. What they are, where th...
It’s time for Part 2 of what everyone should know about. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to the first episode, please feel free to check it out here at Episode 183. Supplements are just that, a supplement needed to deal with a deficiency or an insufficiency. However, they are not food, which we need to survive, and they are not drugs, which are also necessary to help us survive. In today’s episode I cover…Understanding what natural really means What the supplement industr...
When people tell me supplements are safe because they’re natural, I often tell them that poison ivy is also natural, but you wouldn’t be rubbing it all over your face. This is but one of many problems with supplements, and quite frankly just the way the industry likes it. Supplements are not a life-long solution for nutrition. If it were that easy, why would we need food? Come and join me in Part 1 of this two part series on supplements. In today’s episode I'll cover…What is a supplement...
Just like a vegetable or flower garden, living a full and long life requires several key elements to flourish. We know that hard work, dedication, and energy are necessary, but be aware of the things out of our control. For a garden it might be things like the weather, the amount of sunlight, or the critters that enjoy the fruits of your labor first. Longevity requires managing our behaviors like diet, exercising, and sleeping well, but it also requires a combined effort of community an...
Which is it, live longer or live fuller? What's more important? This is actually some of the conversations I have with many of my clients. We obviously start with nutrition, but quickly move into the 'whys'. Meaning, once we start discussing why we make the food choices we do, life starts revealing itself more and more. However, what we discover is that living longer isn't only about eating the healthiest foods, it's about who we connect with, how we sleep, whether we are active on a regular ...
Have you ever tried any of those meal kits or delivery services? What was your experience with them? Did you find them helpful, or were the recipes or meals too confusing or too difficult to make? How long did you stick with it, and was it worth it? These questions and more are what I’m going to cover in this podcast episode.Almost every week I have a client or friend ask me about these meal kits and meal service companies. There are various important points to consider if you’re thinkin...
Back when I first started as a dietitian, I was on a mission to do two things for my practice ... - Create the best meal plans for my clients- Find the best foods to put in those plans I wanted to make sure I could help people improve their health with the best meal plans out there. Noble concept, right? Or at least I thought so! I used to spend hours calculating all sorts of nutrients content to create the best meals plans. I wanted to make sure they were low calorie, but...
Inflammation is part of the body's defense mechanism. It is the process by which the immune system recognizes and removes harmful and foreign stimuli and begins the healing process. Inflammation can be either acute or chronic. However, harmful stimuli may not be so foreign, and can actually be induced by ourselves. Body shame, weight stigma, weight bias, is sizeism. Sizeism is a prejudice or discrimination on the grounds of a person’s size or weight. This means that there is an ever pres...
I came across this article the other day titled Beyond Hunger: Understanding Food Noise, and I thought “Oh, this is interesting, Food Noise. I wonder if it’s something about intuitive eating or an article about weight-inclusivity.” Well spoiler alert, it isn't. Supposedly, this idea of Food Noise is actually a term that has been floating around healthcare and various social channels. But what it is not, is a scientific and evidenced-based term. That’s what I’m going to talk about in...
Do you remember that saying in Jurassic Park when Dr. Alan Grant said “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.” This has always stuck with me, and is even now more relevant in our digital society. The advent of CGMs (Continuous Glucose Monitors) are going a bit viral these days, so much that people without diabetes are starting to use them. But are they actually necessary? What's the benefit of using one if you don't have diabetes? Is there an actual benefit? In today's episode I'...
Do you check your phone first thing in the morning, while burning your tongue on hot coffee, shoving a bagel on the way to work, and anxious about a million things? Are you the type of person that writes endless to-do lists each day, completes two of them, and then writes the same ones all over again and more the next day? Do you go nonstop all day long and barely have time have a meal. Are you that person that brags about getting up at 5 am to workout, and can get by with 5-6 hours of sleep?...

Bienvenidos todos! Did you know that there’s a higher likelihood that you can develop cardiovascular complications like hypertension, high cholesterol, or blood fats to increase every time you try losing weight? Well, you might be thinking why. “Isn’t losing weight better for me in the long-run?” It could be if you don’t gain it, or better yet, you don’t weight-cycle. Listen to today’s episode where I discuss…Why weight cycling can lead to more cardiovascular problems in the futureW...

Bienvenidos todos! Happy New Year! Over the last 40-50 years we have seen diet after diet after diet, and what do we keep getting after each one? Weight gain! This on-again/off-again weight loss attempt might work for a short period of time, but we’ve seen little by little how the weight gain just comes back. We know that doing the same thing over and over again only leads to more insanity. Thank you Einstein! Let’s break free from weight loss attempts and start making peace with fo...
