Teamwork makes the dream work, especially when your dream is weight loss!   If you want to learn a language, what do you do? Probably enroll in a class with a teacher, homework, and maybe some cool classmates that’ll make hitting the books a little more fun. When trying to make big changes or take on…

Maybe you’ve seen pictures of The Rock’s legendary cheat days. Now, that dude is jacked; he must know what he’s doing! So does that mean that you should follow in his footsteps? For one thing, they’re probably more like craters than footsteps. But also, consider his activity level. The guy probably goes to the gym…

Spoiler alert! Fad diets DO NOT WORK. I don’t mean at all, they usually do for the 2-4 weeks you do them but long term they offer nothing for you and your unique beautiful body. No matter what your health goals are, lose weight, build muscle, overall lower inflammation, there are many things to consider…

Insulin. Do you know it? Maybe. Do you love it? Probably not actively. Do we need it? Definitely! In the spirit of Murphy’s Law, luck would have it that something so important is also complicated.

I know, I know. Sugar tastes pretty darn good and it’s everywhere. Is it really worth it to try to avoid it? “Maybe I’ll try next tomorrow,” you say. “I need my morning macchiato to get me through today. Oh, but tomorrow Linda is having a party and she’s getting cake from this bakery I…

Let’s get it out there: I have a sweet tooth. Big time. And maybe you’re like me and you saw Buddy the Elf’s dessert pasta and thought “huh…he’s onto something.” Or, maybe you prefer savory foods like bagels, pretzels, fries, and pasta. If that’s the case then you can skip this series on sugar…IN OPPOSITE…

I asked a lot of questions in my last blog post, but rest assured; now I have answers for you! We went over the science of toxins and why they’re harmful, so now we’re armed with an understanding and ready to take action. You might say we’re ready to walk the walk now that we…

If you’re like I was for 20-something years, you might not know exactly what to make of the term “toxins.” You know they’re bad for you, but what makes something bad? And when is it bad enough that it’s considered toxic? What does “bad” even really mean?! Can we count the ninth season of Scrubs as a…

If I don’t already sound like a broken record, rest assure: I’m going to. Real soon. But I’m okay with that because it’s worth restating that, yes, eating right and exercising are big parts of losing weight, but there are other things you need to consider. A big one of these is toxins. Toxins are…

I’ll get real for a second here. I was a heavier kid. And then I was a heavier tween. And then I was a heavier teenager. And then I was, you guessed it, a heavier adult. As kids too often do, I met a lot of people that were…less than kind to me about my…
