There is nothing like the smell of freshly brewed coffee: the sound of the grinder and the drip of the liquid energy. There is a reason why 80% of adults in the US drink coffee daily. 

One of my first real jobs was as a barista at Starbucks. 

I didn’t drink coffee before that-and in hindsigh...

You’ve tried every diet, every workout plan, and even those “magic” supplements your friend swore by… but the scale just won’t budge. 

Before you throw in the towel (or your scale), let’s talk about a sneaky culprit that might be holding you back: chronic inflammation.

This isn’t the kind of...

Are you tired of feeling… tired?

Raise your hand if you’ve ever looked at your post-holiday self and thought, “Wow, I really outdid myself this year!” 

Between the cookies, the cocktails, and that second helping of pie (okay, third), it’s no wonder your body feels like it’s waving a white flag.

But here’s the thing: you don...

The holidays are in FULL swing and I hope you are having a restful and enjoyable time with your friends and family! 

This time of year there is a bit of a let down from the excitement of Christmas, yet kids are still home, and often we have a break from work, so it becomes really easy to let our...

When suddenly you are awoken at 3am for no apparent reason. Maybe you can go back to sleep, maybe you can't. 

Either way, you are irrit...

The holidays are meant to be a time of joy and connection, but let’s be honest—they can also be full of stress, overindulgence, and putting your health on the back burner. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to sacrifice your goals or well-being during this season! In fact, this holiday season can ...

Ugh, the dreaded beige foods. 

Is this all your kids will eat?
