Feeling frustrated and not sure what's going on? If you're anything like me, you turned 45 and all of a sudden you couldn't figure out what was going on with your energy and that extra weight around the middle. I had two babies and was able to lose that weight in a reasonable time but after 40 things changed. What I didn't realize is that we NEVER learned how to tap into nutrition to change things. I've been on a journey the past 18 months to learn all about how we can use food to heal ourselves. It's an inside job! Most of us (especially women) have been undereating for a very long time. We haven't been getting enough protein, healthy fats and fibre filled carbs to really fuel everything we do in a day. I'm at a healthy weight now, the strongest I've ever been and I'm eating a ton of food. I have lost 70 lbs! This hasn't been about restriction or intensive cardio. I don't even do high impact cardio. It's mostly nutrition, being intentional with my choices, doing strength training and some no impact cardio. At 50 I feel better than I did at 30! Your body is craving all kinds of sugar and processed carbs because it's lacking nutrients. Give it the proper balance of nutrients and it will be life changing. No joke! Stop stressing your body out by undernourishing it.

September is a busy time. It's stressful for many of us. This year our family has added stress with our daughter starting first year of college, my husband is prepping for an intense 8 day retreat in the wilderness and I'm short staffed at work and in our busiest time of the year. September can also be exciting, energizing and fun. I am trying to find something fun and energizing each day. We get to choose what we see. I'm trying not to dwell in the overwhelm, although sometimes it gets the better of us. Take a listen to how I'm working through stress this month. I'd love to know what your strategies are! I'm always looking for tools for my personal toolbox. Thanks for listening!

A group of us have started the Gut Protocol again and it has me thinking a lot about our food system and how much we're sold on "convenience" foods. Have you taken time to read labels and learn about them? Do you look at how much added sugar is in even "healthy foods?"

It this episode I talk about the Gut Protocol program and how it has helped me really learn what not only works for me. It has taught me so much about hidden ingredients and things we need to pay more attention to. Ever wonder why you have some extra weight around your belly? Feeling bloated? It could be an issue with insulin resistance and sugars hidden in your foods. Take a listen. If you'd like more info on the Gut Protocol, reach out. It's been life changing for me and so many others.

Today's the day! I'm half a century. I wanted to share some thoughts and reflections. I hope you can find something useful in the episode. One thing I know is that I don't have it all figured out and that's ok. I'm learning. I'm trying. I'm embracing my humanity more than ever. I feel more like myself than ever before. I'll take that as a win. This is my final episode of season 1. Thanks for listening and have a wonderful summer!

What are you holding onto that is no longer serving you? It's ok to admit it. We all do it. We hold on to thought patterns and ways of being because initially they maybe helped us but then we wake up one day and realize that it's no longer serving us and in fact, it is holding us back. This is your reminder to give yourself permission to let it go. Risk being human. Forgive yourself. Love yourself. I promise if you can begin to do this for yourself, life becomes a bit more meaningful and beautiful 🙏💗.

When we're young we take our mobility, our flexibility, our health and so much else for granted. Until one day we wake up and we realize things have changed. We struggle to get up off the floor. We have aches and pains everywhere. It starts slowly initially and then things seem to slide downhill quickly. Or at least that's what happened with me. Curious what you took for granted in your youth?

Burnout happens over time. Big and small things chipping away at our ability to cope. I was reluctant to label what I was experiencing as Burnout until I knew I couldn't continue on the path I was on. Have you experienced burnout? If so, how have you overcome it? Are you currently experiencing burnout? If so, I see you. I hear you. I'd love to connect. It doesn't have to be this way. We can make small actions every day to support ourselves. Sharing this episode with all of my love.

Do you find fear holding you back? Have you considered that fear and faith are the same? We can't see them, but we know they're there. What if you chose faith over fear? What if you had faith in the process? Let's learn to embrace faith together! Let's learn to trust the process. Let's learn that it's ok to not have all of the answers. It's ok to let go of fear.

Tribute to my dad. We lost him 9 years ago today. I wanted to come on the podcast briefly to share some cool realizations I have made recently about my dad and how he influenced me by setting a great example of using a growth mindset. As I have said all along, mindset really is everything. I might have learned a bit about growth mindset from my dad before growth mindset was even a "thing." What did you learn from your parents?
