Today I'm giving you ways to stay active in the cold months and tips on how to feel motivated to move your body when everything in you tells you to stay inside and lounge.

What if I told you that there is a very special supplement that seriously increases your chances of making good food choices, boosts your mood through real neurotransmitters released in your brain, helps you feel more rested and less stressed?

And it’s free!

Sometimes called vitamin G, it has some proven physiological effects that boost motivation, self-control, and improve your blood work.

Vitamin G is gratitude.

In this episode, we'll look at the impact an attitude of gratitude can have on your health, weight loss journey and your longevity.

And before you discount this as a woowoo pseudo science new age practice, make sure you listen to today's episode to hear about what has been scientifically validated as the real transformative benefits of gratitude on your brain and your behavior, as well as how to create a gratitude practice.

Tis the season... Or definitely approaching: Thanksgiving, Christmas, work parties, end of the year celebration...

Before you decide to completely write off the last 2 and half months of the year, or entirely give up on your weight and overall health to indulgence, hear me out.

Instead, there is a way to approach this time of the year with enjoyment, balance and maintain your gains at the same time.

In this episode, I share three practical strategies to do exactly that: feast without indulging, loving the foods we get to enjoy at the end of the year without the guilt and without packing on more pounds.

This is the first episode a Winter Proof series to help you make the best of a challenging season for your health and fitness, instead of experiencing massive set back this winter 2025 and keep the momentum going to the new year.

What if 2026 didn't start with trying to undo the damage of the Holiday season?

Are you feeling it? The pressure of looking young no matter your age?

If you spend any time on social media, you can't really escape the look: plump lips, high cheekbones, perfect brows, and no wrinkles,... As if this was the way we're all supposed to look. 

Even 20 some years old are going for the fillers, fake lashes, hair colors or injections to try and freeze their faces in time. 

But how do we, people in their 40s (Yes I'm talking to you man as well), navigate this impossible standard while staying radiant, when we do not want to engage in these types of procedures?

My guest Michelle Rose helps women in their 40s bring their beauty out in a natural way, focusing on health and simple routines anyone can take on.

The pull to see our aging bodies as something that needs to be fixed is strong. 

In this conversation, Michelle brings a balanced perspective on this topic by helping us (women AND men) look beautiful because we let who we are and our values shine, and by using small steps to take to invest in our appearance to age gracefully without giving in to the pressure of the anti-aging beauty industry. 

Tune in to hear this and get some very practical daily habits to use to lift our faces, look refreshed without having to use a ton of chemicals.

For more resources, you can join Michelle's community where you can get weekly livestream tips on midlife health and beauty, a worksheet for reflection, and stay up to date on any workshops she is hosting:

I went to work, I built the habit of going to the gym.

On the scale, it looked like I was going in the right direction: I was losing weight. 

But what looked like a win on the scale was a fail for my fitness and longevity!

And it is costing us because muscle is the keystone organ for longevity.

To improve your body composition and lose belly fat, you must avoid these mistakes.

Tune in to hear the mistakes I have made so you don't make them.

What if I told you that the secret to success in your weight loss, belly fat loss journey, was to completely LET GO the idea of losing weight.

I bet many of you would panic and hold on even tighter to it.

Losing weight is a losing battle.

There is absolutely no winning in this game, and it’s called a loss for a good reason.

Instead, when you shift your focus on body composition: improving your muscle-to-fat ratio, here is what happens: 

MOMENTUM. 

THIS is how to get the toned definition you are wanting to see in the mirror.

Your call to action:

Get your body composition measured: type "Inbody scan" in google maps and go get it done.

I have said this many time on this podcast: fermented foods are a must-have in your arsenal to reduce belly visceral fat.

So today I am going to give you some science to back this up and share 4 links between your gut health and belly fat:

1. Some populations of bacteria that are unhealthy disrupt the gut barrier, which lets some pieces of bacteria or food in the blood stream, that shouldn’t be there.

2. The bacteria in our gut produce small molecules, called Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that play a role in reducing visceral belly fat

3. Unhealthy bacteria extract more calories from the diet, which can end up being stored as belly fat

4. Less inflammation means better liver function and better fat burning

There’s something far superior to probiotics in a pill. Something that’s the real deal :

Fermented foods!

Fermented vegetables bring BOTH prebiotics and probiotics.

Listen to the end of this episode and get my tips on incorporating more fermented foods to your diet.
