Making dietary and lifestyle changes is 100% possible for all of us, but it's safe to say, it's not a walk in the park.

Add in the challenge of going out to dinner, on vacation, or celebrating a special event and it feels unsustainable.

But here's the deal...

...taking time to create a list of your non-negotiables (those things you'll do no matter what because they help you feel your best), can be a game changer on how you go about enjoying all of life's special moments.

Today I'm sharing all about non-negotiables.

Here's a glance at what you'll learn in today's episode...

• the essence of what non-negotiables are and why they're important, 
• strategies and questions to consider as you work on defining yours,
• how sharing your non-negotiables with loved ones proves to be a win-win for everyone involved,
• a list of my very own non-negotiables to inspire your brainstorming.

Sad to say, but we are so good at pointing out where we 'fail' to meet our goals in a health journey ...

but often give very little thought or attention to any wins we have along the way.

And yet we wonder why it's so hard to get motivated to do the thing we want most.

Here's the deal, CELEBRATING WINS is a crucial part of a health journey.

Especially when dealing with a chronic illness such as Rheumatoid arthritis. 

It's so easy to focus on our short-comings, then lose our momentum and find ourselves stuck, and in pain.

However, when we take time to focus on the wins we experience, big or small, we set ourselves up with resiliency.

Resiliency to bounce back after a short-coming, a side-step, or a stop. 

We're able to remind ourselves, WE CAN DO HARD THINGS.

In today's shortie episode, I'm sharing more on why celebrating wins is so important, as well as giving examples of how thoughts flow when we focus on 'failures' vs 'wins

Wondering if it's worth the effort to clean up your diet? 

Does it impact how you feel living with Rheumatoid arthritis? 

I can tell you with 100% certainty that YES it does!

I learned early on how focusing on quality, healthy food nourished my body at the cellular level. But even more than that, I've learned how it's a gift that keeps on giving.

You see, when you eat foods that support your body, you're empowering the cells deep within to do what they do best, take care of you. 

In return, they release anti-inflammatory compounds that not only give you more energy but also help drive down inflammatory levels...

What this does, in the long run, is better equip YOU to handle an RA flare if and when it rears its ugly head.

You have more strength, energy, and stamina to help move through the flare quickly, so you can get back to life.

Today I'm sharing more on this as well as 3 SIMPLE steps you can take to get started in making healthier food choices.

Here's a glance at what I'm sharing in today's episode...

• My thoughts on how diet is not being discussed as part of an initial RA diagnosis
• How the standard American/western diet is failing us and which ingredients are the worst offenders
• Mindset tips to help you move past the thought of 'its too hard', 'I'm too much of a foodie', 'I'm the only one making changes in the family...it'll never work'.
• The benefits of cleaning up your diet
• Three SIMPLE actionable steps you can take to start moving toward a healthier way of eating.

Sugar ... 

... we all love it, but does it love us back?

Well if it's the white, highly refined kind, I'm afraid not!

While sweetening our food and drinks, its also causing fatigue, joint pain, digestive distress,  sleep troubles, hormonal imbalances, acne, headaches, and so. much. more.

We know it isn't good for us.

We know it causes trouble for our body.

So WHY do we still crave and eat it?

Maybe you're one of the many who have tried, and/or succeeded, in giving it up only to find yourself back in the vicious cycle.

Guess what ...

there are reasons you're struggling to kick sugar to the curb.

And that's exactly what I'm going to uncover today.

In this episode, I'm:

• Sharing the truth about sugar
• Unpacking carbohydrates so we focus on the right carbs and eat less of the simple carbs
• Divulging the extent to which the food industry will go to protect their bottom line (irregardless of our health)
• Uncovering three reasons why it's so hard to quit sugar

You know that feeling...

... your heart starts to race, breathing rate increases, and beads of sweat start to form on your body...

... these are none-other than the physiological signs of a stressful moment taking place.

How about when the physical symptoms kick in?

The headaches, fatigue, dizziness, or the indigestion?

Stress is something we all face dozens of times throughout our daily lives. 

Ideally, we go through the stressful moment, our body resets and we go about our day.

But too often, that stress response is working overtime, slowly but surely wrecking havoc on our body and health.

Add Rheumatoid Arthritis into the mix, and you have a double whammy.

Today I'm talking all about stress  - 

• What it is
• How our body responds
• The effects it has on our internal systems
• The impact it can have on people with RA
• Eight practical tips on how to manage it

Wondering if the foods you eat makes a difference with your Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms? I can tell you with 100% certainty that YES my friend, they do!

I learned early on that without dietary and lifestyle changes, my symptoms quickly spiraled downhill.

Maybe you, like me, heard an anti-inflammatory diet is best when it comes to feeling good with RA.

But what does that really look like.

And why does one theory suggest one thing, while another says avoid it?

Today I'm sharing what science has been showing for decades - a plant-forward, anti-inflammatory diet is best when it comes to reigning in inflammation and feeling your best day in and day out.

Here's a glance at what I'm sharing in today's episode...

• What science says when it comes to anti-inflammatory foods
• The 'ITIS' diet and study created by Dr. Monica Guma, a Rheumatologist and researcher out of University of California, San Diego
• How 50% of the study participants experienced reduced joint pain, swelling, and fatigue
• Specific anti-inflammatory foods that help target inflammation and gut health
• Tips for moving forward and making small, sustainable changes
