I think you will agree with me when I say there is a TON of noise coming from all different directions in the health, fitness, and nutrition space. It can be difficult to decide what to listen to and what advice to take. Who should you listen to, what program should you try, what products should you buy?!
From my experience with clients and what they tell me as well as my own personal experiences there I’ve felt the need to try to clear some things up and share some of my feelings about who we should be trusting in the areas of health and fitness.
Failure has been a topic on my mind lately. This may sound completely negative, but really I’m thinking about failure as part of being driven and successful. I’m not only accepting my failures, but I’m embracing them.
A few months back I was introduced to a dietitian, Gina B, that is now based out of San Diego, California but received her bachelor of science in dietetics and her master of science in human nutrition from Eastern Michigan University. (That’s my school too! 😀 )
After becoming more familiar with Gina B’s work and seeing some of her content I decided to dive into her book, Mastering Mindfulness.
Here’s a little bit about my initial thoughts on the book.
It’s been a crazy few weeks over here!
I recently just got back (and recovered) from my first FNCE! FNCE is the annual Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo hosted by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
This Friday is super special for me because tomorrow morning I leave for one of my favorite cities! CHICAGO <3
I’ll be headed to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics 100 year celebration at the Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo!
Excuses, way too common…
It seems as if excuses are getting easier to come up with and eating healthy, exercising, and taking care of our bodies is becoming more difficult. That’s all simply perception and I think we all need to give ourselves a little reality check now and then.
Why You Should Be Eating Broccoli Sprouts
Within cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts) is an enzyme (myrosinase) that helps to create a compound; that compound is sulforaphane1. Sulforaphane has been a hot topic in science news lately. It’s definitely what I would think of as a super food and should be a part of your daily diet.
Good morning, friends!
So, about two weeks ago I started to consider a full day fast. I subscribe to a type of fasting called intermittent fasting (at times in certain scenarios also called time-restricted eating) on a daily basis by only eating in a certain time window. I’ve found multiple benefits in this practice and have heard of greater benefits from participating in longer fasts.

Hey all!
A few months back I posted about a nutrition course that I was offering in the office that I work in. The feedback I got from that was that I needed to do another session, in the fall, when people were less busy. Well, being that I’ll be officially starting my masters program in just a few short weeks, fall is not exactly the most ideal time for me to be taking on extra projects. That doesn’t mean I gave up on the idea entirely though! I had the equipment, and a few extra hours, to be able record and upload all of the content that I presented during the six-week course.
