  • Episode 3: Let's talk Keto Confusion

    One of the most common misconceptions out there is that the term “keto,”is synonymous with weight loss.  THIS COULD NOT BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!

  • Episode 1: You Can't Be Hateful When You're Grateful

    Are you looking for the key that unlocks the door to happiness?

    I’m here today to help you find that elusive key that may just help you become happier you!

    I’ll talk about REAL SCIENCE in the field of positive psychology as well as research based strategies you can incorporate into your daily routine that will improve your level of happiness in as little as 21 days!

    Weight loss and gratitude: Those who achieve their health and weight loss goals harness the ability to continue forward, despite at times feeling discouraged, upset or challenged.  The act of practicing gratitude can actually empower one throughout their weight loss journey and aid in continuing forward despite the unavoidable stalls and setbacks.

    Think of 3 NEW things you’re happy about while brushing your teeth.

    The key is to make sure the 3 things you come up with are actually NEW.

    Be specific & don’t ever repeat items. (& try not to default to a lazy variation of “family, friends, and health”)

    AND WHY? WHY are you grateful? THIS IS KEY!
