Not all weight gain is a result of eating too much and lack of exercise. Sure, for some women, eating more calories than they’re burning is the exact reason they’re gaining weight, but for far too many others, hormonal misfires are the real hidden culprit. And that’s when things get tricky. The following misfires can contribute to weight gain…even if you’re eating well and exercising consistently: High Leptin High Estrogen High…

If anything is keeping you from your goals, trust me, it’s NOT the banana. Bananas and pretty much ALL fresh fruits have vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and fiber that, when it comes to the health benefits, truly outweigh the ‘sugar’ and ‘carbs’ that come along with them. If you’re failing…
If you try on a pair of shoes and they don’t fit, you don’t get mad at the shoes. You just buy a bigger, more comfortable pair. Let me tell you a story about me… Since achieving remission from UC (ulcerative colitis) I’ve gained about 10-15 pounds. Even though I’m eating well. Even though I’m moving well. Even though I’m sleeping, managing stress, and doing all the right things well. At…
Common doesn’t mean normal when it comes to hormonal symptoms. Not sure what I mean? You are not alone.

Most women experience those at some point in their lives,…
The weather has warmed up, and it’s been SO nice to see people getting back out into the world. I have actually been enjoying doing my own SMS 2.0 workout program, but I also love having do-anywhere workouts saved for those times I want to switch things up or when I am away from my weights.

Let me set the record straight… I don’t HATE cardio. That one time I wrote a post about Peloton, people came out of the woodwork to tell me how wrong I was. They also told me how stupid I was and how much they hated me. That was a fun day… Thing is, they didn’t actually READ the post before jumping to conclusions. What I said was, cardio is great….
