The PreDiet Podcast

This is meant to be a visual episode and is a re-recorded version of a presentation I did for the Keizer Network of Women (KNOW) here in Oregon this week and I thought I would share with YOU. In a world that aims to distract us with many shiny new things.... I want you to find the GRAY. Not Black. Not White. The GRAY. Gray might seem boring but it is a spectrum that can represent freedom from constant decisions. It can STOP us falling into the ALL or NOTHING mindset that is an absolute TRAP used in the diet culture. Watch this talk and let me help you make the things you "should be doing" especially if you "you know what to do" but aren't doing them.This is for you.

I’m the Nutrition Girly… And I Stopped Caring About FoodWhat happens when the person who teaches others about nutrition, healthy habits, and self-care suddenly can't bring herself to do any of it?After a difficult year filled with grief, infertility, personal loss, and business challenges, I found myself completely depleted. I missed meals, stopped exercising, withdrew from people, and had to give myself permission to simply not be okay.In this honest and personal episode, I’m sharing:How grief, infertility, and chronic stress affected my nutrition, exercise, and mental healthWhy knowing what to do doesn't always mean you have the capacity to do itThe simple habits that helped me begin finding my way back—sleep, nourishing meals, movement, journaling, boundaries, and connectionWhy resilience isn't about never breaking; it's about giving yourself permission to rebuildA reminder that even nutrition professionals are human—and sometimes taking care of yourself means lowering the bar, stepping back, and simply showing up again. Thank you for being here and supporting The Pre-Diet Podcast.

In this episode of the Pre-Diet Podcast, I sat down with Taiyo Robertson (aka Taiyo Moves on IG). Taiyo is actually a friend from high school that I reconnected with via social media when we were in the same industry. It has been amazing to see him share his unique perspective on fitness with the world and his clients. He is a firm believer that a system is stronger than any level of motivation or discipline and that fitness should be sustainable and accessible to everyone no matter your access to fancy equipment. Taiyo is a Japan-based online fitness and nutrition coach, former professional basketball player, and founder of Taiyo Moves. He blends athletic training, sustainable nutrition, recovery, and real-life accountability to help people build fitness and nutrition systems that survive the week. No burning out, no overhauls you can’t sustain.  Coach Taiyo guides clients toward independence, helping them move better, feel better, and build the skills to eventually not need a coach at all.In this episode we discuss: How much time do you really need to see results in the gym? How do get a good workout without a lot of equipmentMindset shifts to help make these healthy changes STICK.& MORE!If you find this episode helpful, make sure to . . .Share with a friendLIKE this video on YouTubeSubscribe to the Channel on YouTubeFollow, Leave a comment & 5 Star Review on SpotifyFor more free Shit - Subscribe to the Free Shit Friday Email list at www.ParksideNutrition.com/Subscribe - for more free nutrition resources each week. Follow on IG: https://www.instagram.com/ali.parksidenutrition/Links for Taiyo:Website: www.taiyomoves.com IG: @taiyomoves (www.instagram/taiyomoves.com) YouTube: @taiyomoves https://youtube.com/@taiyomoves?si=pZzji90_6TOd20DaTikTok: @taiyomoves
