Apr 2 Making Fiber a Priority

Hey there. Fiber needs to be a bigger part of the nutrition conversation. For something that can have such a massive impact on our health, it’s wild how little attention it gets compared to things like protein. Don’t get me wrong, protein has its place. But when I started working with people on nutrition habits about eight years ago, the thing that stood out most was how little fiber folks were getting on a regular basis.

Apr 2 Food Is More Than Fuel

Hey there. For a long time, I believed food was either helping me or hurting me. If it wasn’t nutrient-dense or “clean,” it was something to avoid or feel guilty about. That mindset didn’t come from nowhere. It came from years in the fitness and weight loss space, where we’re told food is fuel and nothing more.

Apr 1 Take Action Before Motivation Kicks In

Hey there. There’s a reason I talk so much about showing up. It’s not just about motivation or energy. It’s about building a habit of taking the first step before you give yourself the chance to overthink it.

Mar 31 Why Guilt Has No Place in Your Wellness Journey

Hey there. When I talk about building a forever active lifestyle, I always circle back to one message. Guilt doesn’t belong here. Guilt isn’t a motivator. It’s not a helpful reminder. And it definitely isn’t part of a long-term, sustainable way of living.

Mar 31 Progress Updates That Keep You Grounded

Hey there. Let’s talk about progress updates. I know how much energy and emotion these check-ins can stir up, especially if you’ve spent years obsessing over the number on the scale. But the thing is, progress updates should be tools to keep you grounded, not stressed.

Mar 30 Build the Foundation Before the Results

Hey there. When it comes to fitness and weight loss, most people focus on one thing above all else: the result. The number on the scale. The size of their clothes. The measurement around their waist. And while tracking those things has its place, the truth is that focusing on them can actually hold you back.

Mar 29 Protecting Your Peace Without Shutting People Out

Hey there. When I talk about living an inside/out life, I’m talking about starting with the relationship you have with yourself. That relationship is the foundation for everything else. If you’re not connected to yourself, it’s easy to fall into the trap of chasing things outside of you to feel better, more secure, or more fulfilled. I’ve done that. Most people have. But it never really gives you what you’re looking for.

Mar 29 Chasing Validation Doesn’t Work

Hey there. For a long time, I lived in a way that many people do. I looked outside of myself for fulfillment, approval, and purpose. I thought if I could just reach a certain milestone or get something that someone else had, I’d finally feel okay. But the truth is, that way of living is exhausting.

Mar 28 Long-Term Fitness Starts With Context

Hey there. I want you to be active and live the best quality of life possible for as long as you can. That’s my hope for anyone who comes across my content, whether you’re trying to lose weight, gain muscle, improve your health, or just move more.

Mar 26 Rethinking Maintenance After Weight Loss

Hey there. One of the most important things to think about when it comes to long-term success with weight loss is how you're going to manage maintenance. For a lot of people, getting to a goal weight is the focus, but what happens after that? What does life look like when you're not actively trying to lose weight anymore?

Mar 22 Your Progress Is Better Than You Think

Hey there. Many people on their weight loss journeys feel stuck, frustrated, or completely overwhelmed with how things are going. And I always come back to the same point. You need more data over a longer period of time.

Mar 22 Tracking Weight Without Losing Your Mind

Hey there. We’re talking about daily weigh-ins and I want to walk you through how I see it. Because I know for a lot of people, stepping on the scale every day can feel like emotional whiplash. You’re up a pound, you’re down two, you’re up again and it messes with your head, especially if your goals have always been tied to that number.

Mar 21 Why The Scale Doesn’t Reflect Your Effort

Hey there. If you’re frustrated with what the scale says, I want to remind you of something that could change how you see your entire fitness journey. The number on the scale is not a reflection of your effort. It’s just data.

Mar 21 Why Preferences Should Be Your Starting Point

Hey there. Here’s something the fitness and weight loss world rarely tells you. All of those programs you’ve tried over the years? They were never meant to work long term unless they were built around one thing... your preferences.

Mar 19 The Gym AND Therapy: Why We Need Both

Hey there. I’m wearing a shirt right now that says The Gym AND Therapy “get yours here”. That wording matters because, for me, both are important. When it comes to calming my mind, focusing my thoughts, and releasing pent-up energy, the gym is one of the best mental health tools I have. But it’s not the only one.

Mar 19 Building a Fitness Routine That Works for You

Hey there. For years, I’ve believed that the best way to approach life is from the inside out. That means starting with a connection to yourself before making decisions about your health, fitness, and everything else. When you take this approach, you’re not just following trends or reacting to outside pressures. You’re making choices based on what truly matters to you.

Mar 18 Finding Enjoyment is the Key to Lasting Change

Hey there. We live in a world where we are constantly told what we should be doing. Social media is filled with fitness influencers and self-development gurus shouting about discipline, willpower, and taking action. You scroll through your feed, nodding in agreement, thinking, “Yeah, they’re right.” But you don’t act on it. You don’t make the change. And then, the guilt creeps in.

Mar 15 The Mental Boost You Get from Being Active

Hey there. I’ve always been someone who feels better when I’m moving. Even when I’m sitting still, working on something that needs my attention, there’s this underlying feeling that I’d be better off if I just got up and took a quick walk. Exercise, activity, movement—whatever you want to call it—has a noticeable impact on how I feel mentally and emotionally.

Mar 13 How Fitness Marketing Skews Our Body Image

Hey there. Fitness marketing has a way of making us believe that we should be constantly chasing an ideal body. The industry thrives on making us feel like we are out of control and then selling us solutions to fix that feeling. Whether it’s a diet plan, a workout program, or a supplement, the message is always the same, you need this to finally achieve the body you want.

Mar 11 Why You Should Be Excited to Fail

Hey there. Failure is something most people fear. It is seen as a sign that we are not good enough or that we should not have even tried in the first place. But what if failure is actually the key to success? What if every time something did not go as planned, it was an opportunity to learn, adjust, and improve?
