Reason

This is not a blog about how to eat or what to eat.  We will not talk about which diet is best or what timing of day you need to eat. We will not talk about how many calories you need to eat or how many you need to avoid.  You can spend hours on the internet researching and going deep into all of those rabbit holes if you want numbers.  For every new program you find, you can find "research" or "latest findings" to discredit everything that new program claims to have solved.  For every "do this great thing" there's someone else saying, "never do that thing."  Well then, what could we possibly have left to talk about?

Welcome to the mindset behind nutrition.  Something nobody seems to want to focus on.  Most people, companies and American marketers are too busy trying to sell you.  Hyped words, popular fads and buzzwords all playing on your desperate roller coaster needs to find a solution for you.  I'm here to help you think through the jumble so you can learn and decide what's best for you.  There's no perfect answer, no perfect way, and no perfect solution for nutrition that solves everyone's problems.  You have to find what works for you... and that might change through time.

While fitness is my main profession, I've studied nutrition for many years and I know there's never a simple answer that solves everyone's needs.  I'm here to bring you short thoughts and perspectives, as if I were in person coaching you, to help you understand nutrition better and become more confident in making choices and creating healthy habits.  Give me two minutes and an open mindset and we can create some magic together!

007 Start today, not "on Monday"

We are trained to think we need a fancy start date to make something successful. Hypothetically, what if I said this new fancy plan I have for you guarantees all your dreams will come true if you start on a Wednesday at 1:37pm on November 8th?  How willing are you to join?  How uncomfortable does that start date make you? Who starts to be healthy on a Wednesday, everyone knows you can only be successful if you start on Monday.  And whoa, starting in the afternoon- that's when I have my afternoon junk food snack so I can't start then.  ANNND it starts in November, gosh that's too close to the holidays, I can't start then. {but whoa, remember I just GUARANTEED you success} If you're the person that finds faults and excuses to not start, then you will never be successful.  You have to get out of your own way.  Success doesn't happen because you started on a Monday on January 1st.  Success happens because you took action NOW! You don't need a bunc...

003 Having the right mentality with challenges

Do you tend to have an attitude of "I will learn and figure this out" or do you run away from things you don't know? Answer honestly.  It's human nature to ignore the things we don't understand or fear.  So honestly, everyone could answer "run away."  You have to practice consistently creating a mentality that embraces learning and improving when faced with something that makes you uncomfortable. I'm going to say that one more time, " You have to practice consistently creating a mentality that embraces learning and improving when faced with something that makes you uncomfortable." Don't just push nutrition aside if you're not good at it; you have to adopt the right mentality. Yes, it's much easier to just go through the motions following your routinely habits. Taking an effort to learn and make changes is tough, it may even be terrifying or overwhelming for you. Remember, we're not going for perfect. Your attempts do not ...

005 Your health is not a scavenger hunt

The problem with our culture is we treat everything like a secret. "What's your diet secrets?" "What's your fitness secrets?" "Health secrets from Hollywood celebrities" "This ONE THING we just learned is your secret to success" "Click here to reveal the secret to staying younger and having a better love life" "The secret to 6 pack abs" I could go on and on.  Our society is obsessed with attention.  Everyone wants you to click their link so they will say whatever buzz words they can to swing your opinions in their direction hoping that you haven't heard of the secret they claim to reveal; usually hoping to sell you something on this amazing discovery.  This creates the impression that it's impossible for you to get healthy, or have great skin, or have strong abs unless you uncover all these secrets. Educate yourself.  You do this by keeping an open mind and reading quality resources.  When you come ac...
