Momentum Vitamins

s your metabolism really to blame for stalled progress—or is it just misunderstood? In this week’s Momentum Vitamin, we’re shifting gears (yes, pun fully intended) and diving deep into the science behind your body’s engine: your metabolism. Whether you’re hitting a plateau, stuck in a cycle of low calories with little results, or just want to understand how to fuel your body better, this episode breaks it all down.

I’ll walk you through what metabolism actually is, how it works, and why eating more—not less—might be the exact thing your body needs to thrive. We’re debunking the myth that less food = more weight loss and unpacking what happens when we underfuel for too long. Plus, I’m sharing real-life client wins, simple steps to assess your own metabolism, and how to start revving up your engine without gaining unwanted fat.

If you’re ready to stop coasting and start firing on all cylinders, this episode is for you. Let’s go!

We are back again with another Momentum Vitamin! This week we are talking all about Nutrition Labels! Utilizing nutrition labels is your golden ticket fundamental to ensure you're making educated purchases and stocking your kitchen with the best foods to support your goals! 

Get ready to deep dive:

• Fun Facts (one might shock you on the % of wiggle room our food manufacturers have on values stated!)
• What key things to look at and how to make labels work for you! 
• How to determine if a food has good nutrition content? (Trick question... it DEPENDS!) 

In this week's episode we are covering two terms that I reference quite often in discussions with clients which are "Balanced Plates" and "Less Processed Foods"! We love to see a variety of energy sources throughout the day in our Balanced Plates, and while we love focusing on whole foods sometimes Less Processed foods are necessary. So let's break down what that means and how to make better choices when we use them! 

Every week we walk in to without a strong game plan for meals can be the make or break difference between seeing results or not! This is one of the first critical topics I cover with clients to help them build and create a structure around the types of meal plans that can work well with their individual lives. From choosing your meal prep style and creating trusty recipe rotations, to staple shopping lists and on-hand inventory... we cover it all! 

Welcome to the Momentum Vitamins podcast! Let's kick start this journey with a quick little self introduction. FUN FACT: I started this podcast for my nutrition clients as a fun, easy way to share more in-depth information with them of different topics and tools to create a simple, forward focused approach to their nutrition journey. As I shared this on social, I quickly realized more people were willing, and wanting, to join and listen. So we are bringing Momentum Vitamins to the masses! Today is all about sharing a little bit of my own background, who I am, and what you can expect in future episodes! 

Let's build some Momentum!
