One of the things I love most about fasting is that it can work with so many different diets. Whether you eat a lot of meat or you are vegan or anything in between, you can find benefit from adding in fasting!  That said, fasting and healthy eating are two sides of the same coin in my book. When we are not fasting we should be focused on eating the most nursing foods.

One can't do much better than the humble squash.

Almost any state of being, from good to terrible, can come to feel normal. This is how complacency develops and how habits solidify. It's also why it's difficult to change. But change is possible and fasting gives us a path to change many things, from our relationship to food to our approach to mental health and life in general.

It's an opportunity to shift our reference point regarding what we perceive as normal.

Losing weight is hard enough by any means. We don't want to make it any harder than it is by creating a performance for anyone but ourself. Yet it is so common. Our desire for approval is buried deep. Let's move toward greater awareness of this and open space for authentic action toward health.

Anger is only one letter short of DANGER. If we are on a path toward weight loss and wellness we need to heed the warning. There is something here with the potential to hijack our plans and knock us off course.

Humans are social creatures and this means we are hard-wired to compare. But this process is a thief of joy and a parasite on our progress. Let's stop comparing ourselves to others and start making the one comparison that really matters.

A fasting weight loss path is a journey toward peace and contentment. But sometimes the real weight we need to lose isn't the physical pounds, it's the weight of the emotional injuries we've sustained.

Letting go of the darkness can be the most important step toward wellness we can take.

Let's walk forward together.

Our brain can play tricks on us and leave us believing we know more than we think we do. But take heart! This humbling state of affairs can lead to breakthroughs that form the foundation of our lasting success!

It's easy to say "live with no regrets" but it's much harder to do in practice. Regrets are things that can hide out and weigh us down. We can hang on to them without even realizing it. 

It takes awareness and thoughtfulness to leave them behind and move forward in health.

Sincerely,

31 days left in 2025 means 31 opportunities to lose weight. Let's dial in together and set ourselves up for a great start in 2026! Most people will just be staring over Jan 1 with a New Years resolution. How great will it feel to be down 5 LB and already in the groove on a sustainable weight loss path?! And we will do it while still enjoying good food during the holidays!

5 LB is low enough to avoid being overwhelming and is more than enough for a powerful start to 2026.  It's just over a pound a week. In this session we will talk about how to do that, for free.
