When working with clients, most of the time I discover that in their efforts to “eat better” they’re really doing their body a disservice and underfueling. The way our energy balance works is that we take in calories from food and our bodies burn calories through activity, digestion and other...
One of this week’s key topics for National Nutrition Month® is keeping healthful ingredients on hand. This falls right in line with what I wanted to share related to what’s going on in our community and being prepared at all times. We can really use this time to learn some valuable life lessons.
The No Sugar Diet What is it? Good question! Just like a lot of these fad diets out there, it’s hard to say what the exact definition is. Some people eliminate ALL sugar (or so they think), even from fruit, some associate a no sugar diet with keto, and some...
Today I’m sharing my day of eating during my most recent fitness competition to show some ideas of foods to eat to keep you fueled. Different types of athletes have different types of needs for competition day.

I’m going to assume that when it comes to weight gain, most of us would like to gain muscle over anything, and there are specific strategies to do just that.
The most obvious way to promote weight gain is to simply eat continuously. Unfortunately, that has the potential to make us feel incredibly uncomfortable and probably leads to more fat than muscle gain.

One of the most common ways to make money when it comes to being a figure in the health and wellness space is through paid advertising or becoming an affiliate and receiving a kickback for purchases.
