Wondering how to hit your protein goal when you’re a vegetarian? You are not alone. I get this question quite a lot, especially from prospective vegetarian nutrition clients who want to track macros. It seems like a lot of people think that macros are just for people who eat meat, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Macro are for EVERYONE!! Macros are a TOOL (not a diet) to help you learn more about…
Pep talk below…⠀ ⠀ I promise you’ll get there.

Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Certification Review I’ve been coaching for a long time now. And in that time, I’ve worked with thousands of clients. Some of them have pretty straightforward weight loss goals, and the plan I create for them works without a hitch. But for a lot of them? They have more advanced weight loss needs. They have some level of metabolism, hormonal, or gut health issues that have become a significant contributing factor to…
Why don’t the calories and the macros in MyFitnessPal match? Fun fact! Did you know that food manufacturers are allowed to round the calories on their labels? They can round these numbers down as much as 20-25%. That means, the 1 cup serving of salty chips that say 100 calories may ACTUALLY have closer to 120 calories based on the macros. The macros in MyFitnessPal, which are based on the actual accurate macros that food…
Hi, friends! I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week! Usually, I’m not one to rush the holiday season, but I am so ready for it this year.

Ready to hear the #1 mistake women make with diets? Let me ask you a few questions first! How long have you been on a diet? 6 months? 6 years? Your whole life? Day after day, month after month, and year after year. You are counting calories, cutting portions, and drinking water to ‘fill yourself up’? If so, then you’re approaching weight loss all wrong. And that’s why you’re not seeing the results you want.…
I felt like shit and I didn’t know why. Even though I had all the indicators: crap sleep, mood swings, weight gain, brain fog, fatigue and all the reasons for it: writing a book, in the middle of an intense FDN training, one million 1:1 clients, and was crushing my soul at Orangetheory, it never occurred to me that I was suffering from high cortisol. I knew all about cortisol: a naturally occurring steroid hormone…
Did you jump on the scale this morning and see the same weight you’ve been seeing for the past four+ weeks? No idea how to break a weight loss plateau? If so, this is for you. I know how frustrating it can be to see the same weight day after day after day after day, especially when you’re doing everything ‘right’ to lose weight. You’re cutting calories, running laps, and drinking water. You’ve even…

“Will I gain weight on a reverse diet?” This is such a common question that I receive from nutrition clients as well as prospective clients and followers on Instagram. Before I give you a blanket answer, let me tell you this… reverse dieting has different effects for different people. It often depends on your specific goals, the rate of the reverse, your dieting history, current physical situation (like body weight, body fat, and other related stats),…
Before I tell you about my new reverse dieting course, I want to talk about one mistake I see a lot of women make. They rush from one diet to the next without taking time to plan out their nutrition. You might think you’re ready for your next diet, but you’re most likely not. You probably shouldn’t diet. Not because it’s bad. Not because you’ll fail. Not because you shouldn’t want to change your…

What about a how-to reverse diet course? ⠀⠀ A reverse diet is useful when you’re trying to change the composition of your body. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Let’s say you’re trying to gain lean muscle aka look like you ACTUALLY workout.

Meaning, they’re following some 1,200 calorie a day guideline they’ve been told will magically help them lose weight and be healthy. Sound familiar? Well, I call BS. Why? Because it’s ridiculous and frankly, I’m tired of seeing beautiful, intelligent women falling for…
