The nutrition and wellness world is always changing. With new scientific studies always emerging what we know to be true about nutrition has changed overtime. So much of what I learned about when I was in school for dietetics is dated. Ultimately, I always encourage people to eat the way that makes them feel best. When I work with clients though and they want guidance I will give them my … [Read more...]

I love a good morning routine. I wrote about being a morning person, tips to get up earlier, and my morning routine here. If you follow us on IG stories you know we are up early working out, drinking all the bevies, and getting our day started right. Here are my morning essentials! xx, A … [Read more...]

What should my Apple Watch ring goals be to stay healthy (not lose weight)? IMO the “move” goal doesn’t really matter because smart watches are known to be inaccurate when it comes to calorie burn during a workout. I think setting it to about 500 cal is an average goal, but like I said, don’t obsess over it. A better stat to look at is your steps. 10k isn’t magical, but it’s a good … [Read more...]

ONE//SKIMS t-shirt I ordered this shirt a few months ago and wear it all the time! It’s the perfect cotton t-shirt to layer under a sweater or wear on it’s own with jeans. So comfortable and flattering. I got size small. TWO//Wild Indigo A new (at least to me) color from Lululemon. This color is so beautiful IRL esp. for Spring. I got this tank, but also eyeing these leggings, this hoodie, … [Read more...]

When I have worked with clients who came to me because they didn’t feel their best (energy, weight, food issues, etc.) I always like to help them set small, achievable goals. Some people who came in wanting to completely overhaul their entire eating plan, want me to write up exactly what they should eat, or make other extreme changes would sometimes be upset that I pumped the breaks. I try … [Read more...]

I’ll make any excuse for new workout gear and the New Year seems like the perfect reason to buy yourself a few new things to help you motivate to break a sweat. Heather and I did some shopping on our bestiemoon last weekend and got to see many of these pieces IRL, so I figured I would share what we are eying and buying. xx, A … [Read more...]

Back in the days my friends and I would get together and make vision boards for the new year. We would all bring our favorite magazines, cut out pictures and quotes we felt motivated by, and create vision boards that we kept somewhere we saw daily. I haven’t made one in years, but was inspired this year to make a digital one. I like a vision board because give you a clear direction for … [Read more...]

There are a few weeks left in 2022 and rather than completely going to the dark side and vowing to clean it up in 2023, I encourage you to continue to strike a balance. That sort of black and white thinking, all or nothing, is a tough cycle to get out of. So I want to support you in trying not to get sucked the “all of nothing” thinking about health and wellness. Sure, this time of year is … [Read more...]

It’s dark and cold and putting on leggings and a sports bra might be the last thing you want to do. There can always be barriers (and excuses ;)) getting in between you and your workout and I feel like there are even more this time of year. Hitting the snooze button and staying warm and cozy in bed is soooo tempting during the cold winter months. Not to mention the holiday craze can leave you … [Read more...]

OK guys I took one for the team and listened to the Andrew Huberman 3 hour and 47 min podcast with Dr. Layne Norton. I flew to Orange County last weekend to spend time with my dad during his knee replacement recovery and spent my travel time listening to this podcast and taking notes. My sister asked me if I understand most of Huberman talks about on his podcasts (usually very science heavy) … [Read more...]
