9 | Breaking the All-or-Nothing Mindset: A New Approach to Healthy Eating

9 | Breaking the All-or-Nothing Mindset: A New Approach to Healthy Eating

If you struggle with healthy eating consistency and often start off with good intentions only to throw in the towel after eating something you 'shouldn't,' then this episode is for you! Welcome back to episode 9! Today, I'm sharing a strategy that changed everything for me. It helped me overcome my perfectionist, all-or-nothing mentality towards food, and I want to share it with you. Food is one of the most difficult patterns to break. Many people wonder why they can't just make better choices when they know what to do. Research shows that food addiction is hard to overcome because our relationship with food is deeply ingrained and emotionally connected, starting from our first connection to our mothers. If you find this helpful, go back and listen to episode #3. These two mindsets combined will help you make lasting changes to your eating habits. Tune in now to learn how to transform your relationship with food and achieve a healthier, more balanced approach to eating. In love & health!

8 | Eat Carbs Without Gaining Weight After 40: 3 Nutrition Tips

8 | Eat Carbs Without Gaining Weight After 40: 3 Nutrition Tips

Do you love your carbs but feel like you need to cut them out of your diet to see weight loss results? If so, this episode is for you! I love this topic because I love my carbs, and I'm not willing to cut them out of my diet. I’ll be sharing some of my favorite strategies to enjoy them while achieving your weight loss goals. Why can carbs be problematic? It’s often due to insulin resistance. Not everyone has to be super careful – if your fasting blood sugar, insulin, A1C, and triglycerides are fine, you might not have a weight gain issue (check your thyroid) and don't have to be as cautious with carbs. But for many of us, especially those gaining weight around the midsection, losing weight can be a challenge if we're not careful with our carb intake. In today's episode, I share 3 of my favourite strategies to enjoy carbs without compromising your weight loss goals.

7 | Why Am I Gaining Weight? How Bloodwork Can Reveal the Answers

7 | Why Am I Gaining Weight? How Bloodwork Can Reveal the Answers

Have you ever wondered if your bloodwork could help you understand why you're gaining weight and provide strategies to lose it? If so, you’re in the right place. In today's episode, we’re going to explore several key blood markers that can shed light on the root causes of weight gain, particularly focusing on markers related to insulin resistance and imbalanced blood sugar. But first, a quick disclaimer: I’m not a doctor. As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Root Cause Protocol Practitioner, I’m trained to read specific blood markers, but I don’t diagnose. Always consult with your doctor for medical advice. We’ll discuss common tests like A1C, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, and triglycerides, which, if left unchecked, can lead to T2 Diabetes. So, if you’ve noticed signs of insulin resistance like increased thirst, fatigue, frequent urination, or any of the other symptoms I’ll mention later, this episode is especially for you. Let’s dive in and explore how understanding these blood markers can help you take control of your health and weight.

We need to address the root issues, whether they’re physiological, psychological, or habitual. So, what do we do instead? Make small, gradual changes that become habits.Make changes from a place of already being that person. Instead of saying, "I am going to become healthy," start making decisions from a place of already being healthy.Develop a deeper "why" beyond just losing weight. Keep asking yourself why it’s important until you get to a strong, motivating reason.Start small – one habit at a time – and keep track of your progress. Tracking makes it rewarding. Tune in to learn how to make sustainable changes that will help you achieve lasting health and weight loss. Let's transform our approach and our lives together!
