If you know me, you know I may be one of the most ANTI “quick-fix” people in the health and wellness space. I don’t believe in fad diets, dangerous detox programs, juice cleanses or the like. However, I DO believe that sometimes we need a radical shift in the way we’re operating in our lives — especially when it comes to the way we’re treating our …

Listen: I am NOT a fan of traditional, unsustainable food diets. You know this. But what I CAN get behind: a MENTAL diet.

On this pod…

For YEARS, I was obsessed with food. How much to eat, when to eat, planning and prepping my meals, counting down the minutes until I could eat again, looking up restaurant nutrition facts hours or days before a date so I could “be prepared”, glued to an app on my phone all day adding and subtracting and trying to fit my macros into one big magical …
