I’ve been obsessed with organ meats for a while. Eating nose to tail is ancestral, and these traditions were built to live optimally & out of respect. If you’re going to take the life of an animal, use all of what it provides.

When it comes to meat consumption today, people often reach for boneless, skinless & usually lean types of meat. There is nothing wrong with these cuts & they do provide necessary nutrients, but when relying on just those, you pivot away from nourishment found in other segments of an animal.

Aside from nose to tail being a more responsible, sustainable & ethical way of living, it provides more nutrients compared to solely muscle meat. For hunter-gatherers, eating animal meant including skin, cartilage, bone marrow, tendons, fattier cuts, lard & of course, organs. For Native Americans & other earlier cultures, organ meats were often the preferred choice as the nutrient density is so high. To feel strong, energized and get through whatever the day swings at you.

You get an abundance of B vitamins, iron, choline & the amino acid glycine from the organs, tissues & even bone broth which is loaded with collagen, gelatin & minerals. The fats help us to absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A-D-E-K) & glycine which is wonderful in supporting gut health, skin health, blood sugar, wound healing & detoxification pathways.

You know that I create custom meal plans. Ones that tailor to your schedule, the time you have, your budget, ingredients available to you and your cooking experience.

But! I also design plans for two. Heck, for the whole fam if need be.

Connect with me if you (and maybe others) are in need of some structure with your day to day food intake.

The holidays are to enjoy time with loved ones and celebrate. It’s once a year, so why stress about your weight? Don’t allow this anxiety to steal precious time from you.

It’s understandable to worry about gaining weight during the holidays because you may feel like you have less “control” of your food intake.

You might think that restricting food is the best way to avoid unwanted weight gain, and that this way you will “earn” holiday food. But when we put stern rules onto ourselves, we actually fixate on food a lot more. We’re more likely to overeat when these rules are broken around big holiday meals and that’s where we can feel out of control.

Eat a balanced diet leading up to the holidays, and you’ll continue to stay balanced throughout and after the holidays. It’s much more enjoyable when you’re not obsessing over what you should and shouldn’t eat.

Create memories, not worries. Plus, it’s impossible to keep your measurements the exact same all the time.

Working with a nutritionist teaches you how to make better food selections during the holidays and any other occasions without restricting & missing out.

Why work with a nutritionist?

A lot of people question “Well can’t I get answers to my nutrition questions through Google?”

For sure. But, there is no one size fits all approach, and the information online is extremely generic. This is concerning because it can be threatening in making issues worse for some. Many resources are outdated or hold incorrect and biased information, whereas a nutritionist’s job is to stay up to date on new studies and resources.

A big component that impacts your health is how you fuel yourself. Both internally and externally. When you feel good you look good, and when you look good you feel good.

Working with me will help you find the right foods to consume, in what portion sizes and how often, along with lifestyle tips. This empowers healthy weight management and success in health desires.

What works for someone else might not work for you, and vice versa. Just because Kelly from Pilates fasts for 18 hours and feels magnificent and unstoppable, doesn’t mean you’ll feel the same if you try.

So, a personalized approach is going to benefit you most. A plan that is cultivated to your current state and holds action steps that will support you in feeling magnificent and unstoppable.

Travel is a privilege and it’s good for us. You’re taken out of your comfort zone and away from what you’re used to so you can experience other cultures, gain new skills, perspectives, relationships, independence, creativity and learn more about your needs & wants.

But, it can be challenging to stick to your health regime if you have one.

Sometimes people only focus on what they consume and any beneficial habits leading up to travel to ensure they look great, and then lose touch with their success and values once they’ve arrived.

I’ve created travel guidelines to help those stress less, stay on track, and enjoy themselves without massive pendulum swings in the body & mind.

There is plenty of proof when it comes to the benefits of napping, yet the “lazy” stigma still exists.

Napping helps with memory, cognitive function, energy, performance, alertness, mood, stress levels, creativity & heart health.

There are many countries around the world that are ‘pro nap’, and these variations in napping are common to facilitate success.

The Japanese practice inemuri, which translates to “sleeping while present”. Because of the bustling lifestyle, they sleep the fewest hours each night in comparison to other countries.

Inemuri rest is super short, but sufficient to quiet the mind and body. It’s doable on public transport, between calls, outdoors, at a desk, and sometimes even during meetings. Anytime there’s a couple minutes to spare, inemuri is used to bounce back.

Healthy naps routines are an art. Connect with me to talk more about this promising habit.

Mini market, mini mart, gas station, corner store, convenience store, co-op, etc. You’re there, you’re very hungry, and you’re trying to live healthfully.

Here are some items to hunt down:
- Unflavoured nuts and / or seeds
- Fruits and vegetables
- Dried fruit (ideally without added sugar)
- Hummus dip (for your vegetables)
- Beef sticks / jerky (again, ideally without sugar)
- Protein bars (look for the least ingredients and obvs no sugar)
- A good ol’ can of tuna
- Plain rice cakes (with tuna, hummus, avocado or plain nut butter)
- Pickles
- Honestly, sometimes they have hard boiled eggs ;)
- If all else fails, grab the plain potato chips & enjoy.
