Imagine if your environments — your home, your office, your social media — was crafted in a way that made supportive behaviours easier and the unsupportive behaviours harder. How often would you make aligned choices if they were simply the default response to your environment? And how much easier would that be compared to trying to motivate yourself all of the time?

In this article and accompanying podcast, we will explore how your environment is impacting your choices and what you can do to improve it. We discuss:

Tracking your dietary intake on paper or in an app is a tool many use to bring awareness to their food choices, collect data on their nutrition intake, and make adjustments to reach their specific goals.

While there are many benefits to monitoring food intake, there can also be disadvantages for certain individuals or when food tracking is the sole lens through which one makes their nutrition-related decisions.

In this podcast, our team of Registered Dietitians review the pros and cons of food tracking, who it might be for (and who it isn’t for), and how we approach food tracking with clients inside of our programs!

Setting goals can be an inspiring process that gives direction to our choices and motivates us to take action. From our experience as Registered Dietitians, many people are excited to reach their goals in the early stages but struggle to stay consistent long enough to make those goals a reality. In other cases, people know what they want to achieve but haven’t identified the actions they need to take to achieve the goal itself.

In this podcast, we share how we help clients create meaningful connections to their goals so they remain committed to the actions that we’ve identified will facilitate a lasting change.
