Fun fact — did you know that the skin is the largest organ of your body? đ It’s funny how most of us are so focused on tending to the skin on our face with daily cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing, yet we barely tend to the skin on the rest of our body. Today I will share with you ONE simple […]
Hi Friends!! Drinking water is probably the most undervalued source of physical energy.  Unlike hunger, thirst is an inadequate barometer of the need for H2O as by the time we feel thirsty, it is likely that we are already quite dehydrated.  While many of you may not be fans of drinking plain water — (this is often […]
You are SWEET enough already đ SUGAR — seems to be a hot nutrition topic these days. You know it is awful and toxic for you, yet you crave it almost daily. Sugar consumption is an epidemic in our culture that contributes to weight gain, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and inflammation (the cause of disease!). When you are consuming […]
I love to start my day with a smoothie. It’s great pre-workout fuel due to its’ easy digestibility, and also post-workout for quick recovery (especially if you add plant-protein powder). Get creative with your ingredients and use whatever you have on hand. Change up your greens, alternate your milks, nut butters, superfoods and fruit to […]
Do you ever look at a recipe and think âyeah right, Iâm never making that — itâs way too complicated.â You are busy, I get it, we are all busy, so my approach (whether when working with clients or creating a recipe on my blog) is simplicity. Figuring out new, easy ways to make delicious […]

After a long run, it’s crucial to refuel within 30 minutes so you can recover. However that doesn’t mean you should eat whatever comes first in sight. You may be inclined to reach for burger and fries or a doughnut after a training session because you just completed an intense workout so why not “reward” […]
ARE YOUR INSIDES UNHAPPY? And by insides I mean your digestive system? It is likely that you suffer from some type of digestive disorder â bloating, irritable bowel, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, reflux, gas, and things that sound too yuck to mention in print. You are not alone. Over 100 million Americans have digestive issues. Some […]
Beets. Perhaps you love them, or you don’t đ I personally love them, whether roasted, pickled, or even raw. Yep RAW. Recently I discovered if you grate them raw and mix with carrots and cabbage, drizzle some tahini and applce cider vinegar and you’ve got a rawkin’ salad party! Some people say they […]
