We often hear about the need for a "holiday survival kit," but just using the word survival suggests the season is something difficult we must simply endure. The truth is, the holidays provide a wonderful chance to build connection and lean into celebration.
This season, avoid the all-or-nothing trap of thinking you must "start over in January." The most lasting success is built by practicing flexibility now. Learn to use the Dial Mindset Method to adjust your effort based on life's reality and the Nutrition Continuum to make small, incremental upgrades to your eating. Your goal is not perfection, but consistency, which leads to confidence and long-term health success beyond the holidays.
A lot of nutrition guides for half marathon training are overly complicated and aimed at elite athletes, which can be intimidating for the average runner. This blog post is about taking the pressure off by treating your fueling as a personal, no-math-required experiment throughout your 12-to-16-week training cycle. As a health coach and personal trainer, my goal is to give you simple, straightforward guidelines so you can figure out what works best for your body, ensuring you have the energy needed to train well, recover fully, and cross the finish line feeling strong.
In this blog post, I explain why terms like "eat clean" and "cheat meal" can actually undermine your long-term health efforts. As a health coach, I see how this kind of rigid, judgmental language creates frustration and keeps good people feeling stuck.

I share how letting go of this black-and-white thinking is the key to making sustainable progress. Your health journey should feel supportive and fit your real life, not an impossible ideal.

Fitness advice is everywhere—do less cardio, lift heavier, eat clean, count macros, fast, don’t fast. It’s no wonder people feel stuck before they even start. In this blog post we explore that there’s no single “right” way, only the way that works for you. The key is cutting through the noise, focusing on fundamentals, and filtering advice through the lens of your goals, lifestyle, and what you can actually stick with.
In this blog post, learn why not all processed foods deserve the bad reputation they often get. We'll explore the spectrum of processed foods, from highly nutritious options like frozen vegetables and canned beans to more indulgent choices, and uncover what people often get wrong about them. You'll discover how to make smarter choices, simplify meal prep, and embrace balance in your diet without unnecessary stress.
Often the hardest part of a healthy lifestyle is finding balance. If you can eat well most of the time, there is some wiggle room for indulgences. With the 80/20 rule, you eat to serve your goals 80% of the time and allow 20% for treats, celebrations, and whatever else life throws at you. In this blog post, we talk about the correct way to apply the 80-20 rule to get the best results, without heavy restrictions.
Do you find calorie or macro tracking too tedious, and often not effective? In this blog post, I review five ways you can adjust your habits to lose weight without counting calories; including hand portion control, eating slowly, consume more protein and vegetables, improving sleep quality, and reducing processed foods.
