Welcome to the Empowered Eating series! Over the course of four episodes we dive into the complex and often conflicting messages surrounding diet and fitness. From the rise of diet culture in the 20th century to the current popularity of intuitive eating, we explore how these extremes can influence our relationship with food and our bodies.

Whether you're tired of the endless diet cycle or curious about a more sustainable, fulfilling approach to health, this series is for you. Join us as we dive deep into these topics and give you practical tools to redefine your relationship with food and fitness.

Sodium (salt) is an essential nutrient required for the body and is involved in blood pressure regulation, and nervous system and muscle functioning. Salt packets, like LMNTs are all the rage these days with influencers recommending 2-4x the recommended daily sodium intake. I recently started drinking them and my biofeedback said YES please! But who else does this apply to, and most importantly does it apply to you? Should we have this much sodium? What about the dangers of too much? What is too much? In this episode, we’ll be discussing the answers to these questions and so much more as we dive into Should You Beat The Heat with MORE Salt? A Review On Sodium and Electrolyte Drinks.

We are discussing 'mental health mojo' and how we can start to create daily habits, not just for mental wellness, but also for mental strength. I believe mental wellness is something we all need to be tending to regularly. By nurturing our mental well-being, we can create these resilient, vibrant, and balanced inner landscapes that set us up to succeed no matter what life brings our way.  In this episode, we're talking about how to build the strength and resiliency that surpasses what we're told we are capable of achieving - through the lens of empowered eating.

Biofeedback is essentially how your body talks to you. One of the most catastrophic parts about having food issues—whether it's disordered eating, a history of yo-yo dieting, or trying to control your body—is that these strategies disconnect us from our body’s natural signals. When we engage in these behaviors to control our body, we stop listening to it. This disconnect creates a gap between our brain and our body, leading us to use food (or the lack thereof) to morph our body into what we want it to be, instead of what it needs to be. Learn how to reconnect with your body's biofeedback so you can make empowered and intuitive choices that support your well-being.

I am breaking down the exact framework I used to move from fear-based obsessive eating, to intuitive empowered eating. This framework has allowed me to become my strongest, fittest, spiritually connected and most mentally balanced self!

It’s summertime and sometimes this season of summer fun and relaxation can leave us feeling all over the place - and like we’ve completely lost track of our goals and any resemblance of schedules or structure.

If this sounds like you my friend, you are not alone. There’s hope on the horizon as we begin to shift into the rhythms of back to school. And as seasons change we are also offered the opportunity to make some other changes in our routines and habits.

Hanger is real and it does not make the world a better place! This is why as a dietitian, there are two things I look for when helping my clients build snacks.

There are two types of people when it comes to this topic...

1) Those who brag about their poop

2) And those who we question if they even do it. 

Whether you fall on the spectrum, the reality is... we all poop. 

My filter with this topic was originally weathered by becoming a dietitian, but then any filter that remained was obliterated when I had two boys.

Hot to eat mindfully in a fast-paced, often chaotic environment can be challenging. For me, I had forgotten how powerful it could be and lost the practice. After a trip on my own (without kids and away from emails) I was pleasantly reminded of the wonderful benefits of mindful eating. There are both mental and physiological benefits to eating mindfully and I want to help you (and me) return to this practice… even WHEN our life is chaotic.

If you have ever struggled with food, you understand the level of hard it can be to make peace with food and your body.
