As I sit here and attempt to write this article, I’m tempted by my phone, the ding of my email, and the urge to get up and go for a run to deal with the stress of a self-imposed deadline of blog completion. 

Is it any wonder that ADHD diagnoses are on the rise? 

As our attention spans rapidl...

You are running out the door for a day of soccer games, track meets, or basketball tournaments. You know that you won’t have time for a sit down meal. You also know that you’ll spend most of the day in the car racing between all the events. 

You grab what’s easy from your cupboards. 

Better ...

You wake up tired. You struggle through the day tired. You go to bed tired. 

Maybe you get an infusion of energy after you exercise or have your coffee. 

But otherwise, you are tired. Tired, tired, tired. 

If you are among the few that don’t live this way, congrats! You are in the minori...

If you are of the 35+ age group, you likely are starting to think about your hormones. If you aren’t yet, you should be. 

We should all be, actually. 

I have many soap boxes, but one of the biggest is how little we educate our young women about their bodies. And then we are surprised by how ...

After questions about protein, help with meal planning and prepping is the most popular ask my clients have. 

They will be making progress in their health goals and things are going well, but they will come to their 1:1 coaching session exasperated:

We ALL know sleep is important. Why else would our parents have made us have lights out by 8pm every night growing up!?

Sleep IS important, but as we get older, it’s for different reasons. 

We are talking today about the impact of sleep on weight, BUT know that sleep impacts so much more. It...

We are all searching for the ONE thing (or a group of things) that will be the quick-fix, cure all for our health woes. Here’s an example of the latest one:

“What can I eat to fix my hormone issues?”

Well, just eating one thing or picking one type of diet will not fix the issue, it’s more co...

Shocking stat: Perimenopause is happening earlier than ever before. The onset can now happen as early as 35 years old! Many of us are still having babies at 35!

Here’s the thing: our world is more toxic, dysregulated, and stressed than ever before. 

And under those conditions, it’s no won...

It’s back to school time! As much as I LOVE having my kids home and the freedom of summer, I also get excited about the return to routine, Fall football games, and returning to the busyness of the season. 

As we head back to school, most of us are gearing up for packing lunches, shopping for the ...

Here’s the situation:

You’ve been following me for a while and slowly making changes in your health. You have been watching your blood sugars and have made a little progress, but you aren’t seeing the results you would expect on the work you are putting in. 

It is very likely that your liver...

Mood and mental health disorders are at an all-time high. I wrote a research paper on this during graduate school in 2021 and can already say that the data in that paper is outdated and the statistics are now worse.
