    Inside this episode, I'm discussing:

    - the link between our guts and our brains

    - how chronic stress can alter whole-body health

    - how our gut bugs affect our central nervous system

    - how to eat to support your gut and brain

    ... and more!

    This is the final part of a three-part series on the gut, brain, and gut-brain axis, so go back and listen to the first two parts if you haven't already.

  • If you've spent every New Year thinking, "this is the year I'm going to lose weight" - this episode is for you.

    What if, instead of thinking about weight loss, you focused on true health this year, instead? In this episode, I'm talking all about:

    - why weight loss-focused goals are so hard (if not impossible) to achieve

    - why programs like Noom, WW, calorie counting, and GLP-1s might not be what you're looking for

    - how diet culture and anti-diet culture can mess with your head

    - how I successfully help my clients achieve their health goals every time

    Happy New Year! Let's make 2025 the best one yet!

  • Today I’m sharing my favorite technique to minimize anxious thoughts in 5 minutes or less without any fancy apps or equipment.

    The holidays are full of family and fun, but they’re also full of anxiety-inducing things — like lack of routine, lack of exercise, and lack of “me time.” Use this simple technique on the way to today's holiday celebrations to get grounded and zen before all the craziness begins.

    Happy Holidays - see you all in the New Year!
