Walk down the aisle of your favorite drugstore and you'll see a supplement for just about everything... plus 20 more multivitamin variations. It can get confusing, overwhelming, and costly real quick to increase your vitamin intake. 

Instead, here are three tips to increase your vitamins without having to buy every supplement out there. Trust me, put your money behind the whole foods and you will see much better results!

Disclaimer: I'm not here to hate on supplements! I do believe they have a time in a place when it comes to specific support. 

What are your supplement-specific questions? Drop them in the comments below and let's chat about them!

This morning we are live from the outside because it's too nice to drink coffee inside.

Let's chat about seasonal produce. It's easy to stray away from produce at the grocery store because of the price point. However, you can save money on produce by focusing on what is in season instead of all produce available.

By utilizing in-season produce you can also change up what you're eating without having to totally revamp your menu every week.

Most importantly, we'll cover how to know what fruit and vegetables are in-season.

TLDR, today we'll cover:

▶ What is seasonal produce good for?

▶ Recipes

▶ Making the most of what's in season

▶ Different ways to tell WHAT is in season.

Over the last three weeks we've talked about the three main nutrients your body needs, now this week we need to talk about balancing them.

It doesn't stop at balancing proteins, carbs, and fat in other words balancing macronutrients.

There's also balancing whole foods vs. processed foods. When it comes to balancing your nutrition this can be a key piece of your daily intake.

Then we get into the nutrition balance of healthy foods vs. not-so-healthy foods.   

At the end of the day, having a good nutrition routine is all about balancing your nutrition... For morning coffee chats this week, let's talk about the balance :)

Today we wrap up our three-week series on macronutrients. We've talked about why you need to increase protein, why carbohydrates are good for you, and today we're going to talk about why you need fats in your diet and the low-fat diet trends.

'Low fat' is so commonly used for weight loss, but is it really the way to go? In the 1990s and early 2000s, many people turned to a low-fat diet to lose weight and find a healthier version of themselves.

However, low-fat doesn't always mean healthier. Low-fat diets can also mean an increase in sugar intake which cancels out the point of going on a diet in the first place.

We also cover, different sources of fats, and how much fat you need in a day. Not to mention, I shared a special announcement about balancing your Summer nutrition.

This week we move on to our next macronutrient and that is carbohydrates, quite possibly the most hated macronutrient in today's society, so let's have an honest conversation about it.

I love carbs and I can't wait to share more with you.

We are going to chat about:

➡️  What Are Carbs?

➡️  Are Carbs Bad For You?

➡️  Why Are Carbs Demonized?

➡️  What Is The REAL Problem With Carbs?

➡️  What Are GOOD Carb Sources?

➡️  How Many Carbs Should You Eat a Day?

By answering the question "are carbs bad for you?" we can help move you in the right direction with your health and nutrition goals. 

Carbs are not bad for you and can be incredibly beneficial when you are eating the right carbs, not processed carbs.

Part 1/3 of our Macronutrients Series

Over the next three weeks we are going to talk about Macronutrients, the three nutrients we use in the largest amounts. We will NOT be talking about how to count macros... JUST the nutrients themselves 😉.

For starters, This week we are going to answer the question why is protein important? It is also the one macronutrient that isn't demonized by diet culture which makes it a good macronutrient to start with.

There is a good chance you are not eating ENOUGH protein in your everyday diet. I'm not talking about specific goals (weight loss, muscle building, etc), I'm talking about the everyday person just trying to live their best life.

Today We Cover:

▶ How Much Protein Should You Eat Daily?

▶ What Food Is High In Protein?

▶ Why Is Protein Important?

TW: We are going to talk about this scale and using it as a tool and not as not being the be-all-end-all method for measuring your health. If this scale is something that triggers you or bothers you, please go ahead and skip this week's podcast.

A scale is a tool and as part of a health journey, it is something that you can use, but you don't have to use. One of the things that often gets mixed up today is that we so much emphasis on the number on the scale.

Even if the scale measures 25 other aspects of your health, those still don’t tell the whole story.

The scale gives you some information about your health, but it does not define your health.

This week’s podcast is actually inspired by the Listen To Your Body Challenge that I hosted two weeks ago. This was a conversation that I felt like came up multiple times throughout the challenge.

The definition of eating healthy matters when you're looking at making changes to your nutrition for a number of reasons.

Today on the Be Your Best Self Health Chats podcast we’re going to talk about all of those reasons as well as help you change your definition of what it means to eat healthily.

You can have the best nutrition plan in the world but tackling it alone could make it a lot harder to stick to.   

When it comes to accountability, there's actually research behind those who have accountability and those who do not.  

Today we're talking about nutrition and why accountability matters.
