Often stress is a result of feeling overwhelmed and out of control so today I want to teach 5 things you always have control over. Remember to use them when you are feeling stressed as a strategy to feel calm and in control.

Leptin and Ghrelin, are complicated hormones that tell us when we are hungry and when we are full but because our hormones play in an orchestra they often get out of tune. Take a listen to today's podcast to understand your hormones and how they relate to the amount of food you eat.

I kinda like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh but we could only hang out for so long before I would start to get sucked into the woe-is-me mentality. Having a victim or a negative mindset can feel very natural if that is the environment you surround yourself with. Listen to this episode and take a minute to reflect on who is the Eeyore in your world, and is it you?

A little competition is healthy but who you compete with might not be. Today I talk about how I find a way to push myself and continue to level up, personally.

I love my friends at Authentic Realty and when they asked me to be a guest on their new podcast I was honoured. Take a listen as I talk about the wonderful people I call "my community".

If you guessed the "F" word I use too often don't be disappointed but my new favourite word isn't that one. It is fibre.

It was a pretty simple way to help to balance those hormones.

I want people to understand the value joy has on their overall health and well-being. Clients often give me a side eye when they want to lose their belly fat and I prescribe a funny sitcom or tea with a friend. What do you do that brings you joy? If you can't aswer that take a listen to todays podcast.

We did a survey at the gym asking if people wanted to participate in the Crossfit Open this year. More people wondered what the "Open" is so today I will explain that for you.

I want your opinion on the word excuses. I find it triggering and negative and an indicator of mindset. I much prefer to believe that sometimes there are obsticles and barriers that are reality that I haven't solved yet, but I do hard things so will tackle them. I want people to stop feeling negative with their excuses and give them the power to solve their obstacles.
