🥘I help Southern women feel & look good while still eating jambalaya. 🍃Fat Loss + Food Confidence

02/12/2026

💜💛💚 Mardi Gras Weekend Survival Guide 💜💛💚
(For the women who want to enjoy it AND feel good Wednesday)

Mardi Gras isn’t one day.
It’s a whole weekend… sometimes a whole week.

Parades. School break. Late nights. King cake everywhere.

If you don’t have a plan, you’ll end up:
Skipping meals → starving → grabbing whatever → bloated → exhausted → “I’ll start over next week.”

Not this year.

Here’s your simple game plan 👇

1️⃣ Anchor your morning.
Protein + produce before you leave.
Eggs. Greek yogurt. Smoothie. Leftovers.
Stable blood sugar = better decisions.

2️⃣ Pack something.
Wrap. Beef stick. Protein bar. Hard-boiled eggs.
Parade food is carb-heavy and lines are long.
You’re not extra — you’re strategic.

3️⃣ Hydrate.
Water all day. Especially if you’re drinking.
Dehydration = cravings + fatigue.

4️⃣ Pick your fun on purpose.
Have the king cake. Have the jambalaya.
Just don’t let hunger decide for you.
Eat it. Enjoy it. Move on.

5️⃣ Reset between events.
Protein next meal.
Walk.
Water.
Sleep when you can.

No detox.
No punishment cardio.
No starting over Wednesday.

Healthy Louisiana women don’t avoid Mardi Gras.
They plan for it.

If every holiday feels like a setback, that’s a strategy problem — not a willpower problem.

Let’s build structure that flexes with real life.

Now go catch beads.
Bring the wrap.
Eat the king cake.
And don’t quit on yourself 💜💛💚

Yesterday I shared my honest review of Starbucks protein drinks and today I’m giving you my top 5 picks!

I had so much fun playing my game yesterday that I’m doing it again today. 🎉

👉 Tag a bestie you’d share one of these protein drinks with, and I’ll pick two pairs of besties to get their next drink on me!

Your liver matters more for fat loss than your gut.

Your liver is the command center for fat loss.
It decides whether you burn fat… or store it.

It controls:
• Blood sugar
• Fat break down
• Hormone clearance (estrogen, cortisol, thyroid)
• Bile production (fat digestion + fullness signals)

When the liver is stressed (undereating, chronic dieting, alcohol, meds, birth control, poor sleep, high stress):

• Blood sugar becomes unstable
• Insulin stays elevated
• Fat burning shuts down
• Thyroid conversion slows
• Estrogen recirculates → more belly fat

👉 You can do all the gut work in the world and still not lose fat if the liver is overwhelmed.

👉 Fixing the gut without supporting the liver often backfires.

Correct order for fat loss (especially for women):
1️⃣ Liver first — enough food (yes, carbs), protein, stress reduction, bile support
2️⃣ Then gut — fiber + probiotics once motility improves
3️⃣ Then hormones — insulin, estrogen, thyroid normalize → fat loss gets easier

My favorite peptides for sleep and mood, comment “peptides” if you want a recording of my peptide webinar.

Listen up — you’ve been lied to.
Carbs are not the enemy.

Your brain and thyroid alone need ~130g of carbs per day just to function optimally.
And many women — especially active women — actually feel better closer to 180–220g per day.

When carbs are too low for too long:
• Thyroid output can slow
• Brain function and mood can suffer
• Cortisol rises to compensate

Here’s what that means 👇
When your body doesn’t get enough carbs from food, it has to make glucose internally through a process called gluconeogenesis — pulling from protein and stress hormones to keep you alive. Helpful short-term… not great long-term.

Chronically elevated cortisol + under-fueling =
🚩 stalled fat loss
🚩 hormone imbalance
🚩 metabolic stress

The goal isn’t more junk carbs.
It’s carbs done the right way ⬇️
✔️ Protein first
✔️ Fiber + whole-food fats
✔️ Then carbs from whole, nutrient-dense sources

This approach supports blood sugar, hormones, and metabolism — and actually helps prevent metabolic syndrome, not cause it.

Did you learn something new?
Have you ever been afraid of carbs?

Here’s how to test 5 thyroid-related signals at home 👇

1️⃣ Morning body temperature
Take your temp first thing in the morning, before getting out of bed, eating, or drinking. Track 3–5 days.
• Ideal: ~97.8–98.2°F
• Consistently below 97.5°F can signal slowed metabolic output

2️⃣ Resting heart rate (RHR)
Check upon waking, before coffee or movement. Use a wearable or count for 60 seconds.
• Typical range: 60–80 bpm
• Very low RHR with fatigue, cold sensitivity, or low energy is worth noting
(Context matters — athletes may run lower and feel great.)

3️⃣ Energy & recovery
Over 7 days, ask yourself:
• Do I wake up tired despite enough sleep?
• Do workouts energize or drain me?
• Do I need days to recover from moderate exercise?

4️⃣ Digestion & bowel regularity
Notice patterns over 1–2 weeks.
• Constipation, bloating, or slow digestion can reflect slowed thyroid signaling
Thyroid hormones directly impact gut motility.

5️⃣ Hair, skin, nails & cold sensitivity
Compare to your baseline over several weeks.
• Thinning hair or thinning of the outer third of the eyebrow
• Dry skin, brittle nails
• Feeling cold when others are comfortable

⚠️ Important context:
These are signals, not diagnoses. You can have “normal” labs and still experience low thyroid function at the cellular level, especially with chronic stress, under-eating, poor sleep, or hormone shifts (hello perimenopause).

This is why we look at patterns — not just numbers.

Your labs can be “normal”… and still explain why you feel awful.

This week, I had two different clients tell me the exact same thing:
“My doctor said my labs are normal.”

And to be clear — this is not a knock on doctors.
They’re doing exactly what they’re trained to do:
✔️ Make sure labs are within medical range
✔️ Determine whether medication is needed

But being in range doesn’t always mean you’re in an optimal place from a how-you-feel standpoint.

When we looked deeper, here’s what stood out:

• One client showed patterns consistent with estrogen dominance
• Another had low estrogen and progesterone, along with signs of inflammation

Both were told everything looked “fine.”
Both felt anything but fine — mood swings, acne, fatigue, feeling emotional and confused.

Let me be clear:
We are not doctors. We do not diagnose or treat disease.

What we do look at is the difference between “in-range” and optimal, and how lifestyle inputs influence hormone function, including:

• Nutrition
• Stress
• Movement
• Sun exposure
• Sleep
• Digestion & bowel health

These inputs impact systems like:
• inflammation
• stress and cortisol
• sleep and recovery
• blood sugar and nutrition

We also help you advocate for yourself and connect you with medical professionals who will listen — because your symptoms matter.

If you’re ready to feel clear instead of confused,
and you’re ready to get results instead of being dismissed, there are only a few days left to join our 6-month coaching program — completely free.

This is for the woman who knows something feels off
and is done being told she’s “fine.”
