They are trying to run, before they can walk.

Hi Reader! This is the single biggest reason why people never hit their weight loss goals: They are trying to run, before they can walk. After coaching and teaching people how to fix their metabolisms for over a decade, the number one reason why they do not see results: They are trying to do everything at once, without really focusing on doing any of them WELL. Its really hard to change the entire way we eat, exercise, sleep, stress.....all at the same time. So, even though it might appear...

stop the food noise forever

Hi Reader! Instead of trying to find the discipline or motivation to stop "the food noise." What if you just had a real strategy to do it? You can shut off the "food noise" in your brain, with a few basic nutrition swaps. Because there are lots of natural ways of doing what the drugs are doing chemically (no more worrying about drug side affects). Also, once you know how to teach your body how to do it naturally, that's a skill you keep forever. If you want a natural way to stop the food...

willpower is bullsh*t

Hi Reader! I am going to keep saying it, "Willpower is bullsh*t." You can't "eat less." and think that magically you will lose fat and become healthier. If that were true, we ALL would be very fit, and the health and wellness industry would not exist. Think about it" WHY does it exist? Why is it a billion dollar industry?" Because willpower alone will not give you results. Every semester, I get students who straight out tell me "THANK YOU." Because having the knowledge of how their body...

The real reason your body refuses to burn fat 🧬

Hi Reader! If you are eating less but your body refuses to let go of weight, it isn't a willpower problem—it’s a chemistry problem. When your gut microbiome is out of sync, your internal clock breaks. This keeps your stress hormone (cortisol) elevated, which triggers insulin. Here is the strict metabolic rule: As long as insulin is high, fat-burning won't happen. Its goes against your body's chemistry. Meaning: Your body is physically locked in "storage mode," no matter how few calories you...

🛑signs its working!

Hi Reader! Hi there! Depending on how long your metabolism has been messed up from just too many years of poor diet over dieting inconsistent exercise habits too much stress lack of sleep, etc. It will take some time to heal that damage before your scale even sees a difference. Which can be frustrating if you feel like you had been putting in that work, but the scale just hasn't budged. First, throw away that stupid scale and focus on actual markers of success. Your energy is better Your...

i lost my winter weight in 1 month

Hi Reader! About a month ago, I put new batteries in my bathroom scale and stepped on. It was what I expected after a stressful winter, where I knew that I was stress eating a lot. This past winter, my dad was in the hospital for about 3 weeks, Christmas barely happened, my whole house got the flu (bad), and overall it was just not a fun month tbh. So when the scale showed me all the weight I gained, I was not surprised. I knew my face was puffier too. And since I teach people nutrition and...

the best advice you will read today

Hi Reader! Motivation happens AFTER you start. Not before. Read that again. If you are still thinking... "Tomorrow, I will start..." "When I have more time, I will start..." "When I am not so busy with work..." You have to know, that is bullsh*t. There will literally never be the perfect time. Its like investing. The best time to start was 20 years ago. But the second best time is NOW. That is why in this course: I tell you to pick the easiest thing that causes you the least resistance....

this really upset my client

Hi Reader! just started a new client about a month ago and during our last session she was telling me this story about at her last mammogram appt, the doctor basically told her she cannot lose weight with taking a GLP1 medicine. She was furious. Because he basically told her that most people can't lose weight on their own (because they don't have the willpower) and drugs are their only viable option. Like what??? She told me she felt super insulted by his comment. What do you think people did...

what diets get wrong

Hi there ! All diet programs have the same promise: How to eat less, without feeling like you are eating less. Sounds so simple, but we all seem to struggle with this in one way or another. Its why diets often fail, because you still feel like you are eating less. You don't want to eat less. Because if you know you are eating less..... It makes the survival part of our brain think "Famine!! This is bad!!" And we go raiding the pantry later because that hunger signal never got turned off. So,...

for women only 🙆🏼‍♀️

Hi Reader! If you have a monthly menstrual cycle, you need to stop taking weight loss advice from someone who doesn't. Men lose weight easier than women. The calories in/calories out approach works perfectly for them. It's why you only see men promoting it. That approach doesn't work for someone whose metabolism literally changes by the day. (PS: Its also why majority of metabolism-related research is done on 20 yo men!) Let me explain: Women's cycles (our hormones) control our metabolism...
