If you’re new to a non diet approach to living or struggling with body image or body respect, you might be going crazy with all the people talking diets around you. What you are willing to expose your energy to is very important and that includes diet talk. This can be really impactful on your confidence and the way you view yourself.

At the first sign of a chill in the air, I love to bust out my dutch oven and make some hearty one pot meals. There is something so comforting about a warm, flavorful, homemade meal as the weather starts to get colder and this dish is even more special to me because it is Greek. (Fun fact: I am half Greek!) This delicious chicken and farro dish is packed with lots of flavor, nutrition, and it’s super easy to make. Try it out. Like now.

We have all been conditioned to split foods into two categories: good or bad and in doing so we begin to associate ourselves as either good or bad if we eat those foods.

I love sheet pan recipes! First, they are pretty hard to eff up. Second, and more importantly, they are such an efficient way to fuel your body. You have protein + veggies + fat all in one pan.

There are endless possible combinations for sheet pan dinners but today I am sharing a vibrant chicken and vegetables recipe to help you eat the rainbow ❤️🧡💛💚.

The ultimate goal in treating the symptoms of PCOS is to get you to the the top of the Hierarchy of Self Care - belonging, esteem, and self actualization. You have confidence, wellbeing, and are able to really live and thrive in the body that you have.

So many of my clients with PCOS tell me that when they were diagnosed they were told to lose weight and eliminate gluten, carbs, dairy, and sugar in order to manage their symptoms. But the truth is that there is not a one size fits all dietary protocol for managing PCOS. In order to get the best results, you have to first identify the root cause and then develop a targeted treatment plan.

September is PCOS Awareness Month so over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting a series of blogs on PCOS. This week I’m talking about what we know about PCOS and how it manifests in the body.

What is one food that you crave? I crave chocolate right before my period. I think many of you might have the same craving. For the longest time I just did not understand the logic behind this craving. Not understanding led to my feeling like I couldn't control myself around chocolate - like it was MY problem.⁠ It wasn't until I learned the mechanism behind the craving that I started to be able to handle them in a more positive way.
