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!

006 What does the word "food" mean to you?

When I say "food," what comes to mind?  Do you think of your favorite food?  Do you think of the food you are currently hungry for?  Do you think fear and have no idea what food is? Do you think of food in numbers- as in how many calories, how much fat, protein, and carbohydrates are you consuming?  Or how long until you need to eat again? Or do you think energy and nutrients? Well, there is no one right answer, because food is all of those things.  It is our favorite meals, it's what you're craving right now to satisfy a desire, and it's comprised of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.  Food is also comprised of vitamins and it's important to think of food as energy and nutrients because that's what it comes down to: food provides you energy.  I hope food doesn't cause you to panic, but I know for many people, it does.  It's overwhelming.  It's confusing.  It's too stressful.  Well, it doesn't have to be as long as you're will

012 What to do when you feel so overwhelmed

Are you feeling stuck? Maybe you have big goals for yourself and you just don't know where to start.  Or you're feeling overwhelmed by the many things you've tried that aren't working and you're just feeling stuck, how do we move through that? The solution: You make ONE small decision. "But that small decision won't give me quick, immediate results!" Yes, I know. You probably feel like you have to do something big, something dramatic, something that will for sure show you changes and immediate feedback because you want results right now. Honestly, this just comes down to making a mental shift.  You have to be willing to do things differently.  You have to do the small adjustment and stick with it. You can't do the "small adjustment thing" but expect it to get the big adjustment results that the "dramatic adjustment thing" would. For example, drinking water is the smallest, most powerful adjustment you can make to your daily rout

011 World Peace

I truly believe the world would be a happier place and on it's way to world peace if everyone just ate more food; wait... ate more healthy food! How are you when you don't eat enough?  I am annoyed, frustrated, irritated and tired.  Pretty sure that describes the generalization of people's moods on the daily. We talk about wars and controlling the nukes, but who's talking about eating breakfast, lunch and dinner on a level of world peace?  Wouldn't that be a fun news headline- "Today at the UN meeting, world leaders discussed what healthy foods they had to eat and how happy and patient they were with each others' differences." Think about yourself personally.  Have you ever connected your mood to how much you have eaten in a day?  If you skipped breakfast, grabbed fast food for lunch and then ate a big restaurant dinner while mixing in caffeine and sugar snacks to keep you going, how was your energy?  How was your patience tolerance during those
