It’s Mardi Gras season, so yes… the king cake is happening.

The question isn’t should you eat it, because you should!
It’s how to enjoy it and still feel good afterward.

Celebration and living the food culture is part of who we are.
Laissez les bons temps rouler doesn’t mean ignoring how your body feels.

This is where paying attention, not restriction, makes the difference.
Understanding how your body responds helps you enjoy the moment and not regret it later.

If you’ve ever wondered why some days feel fine and others don’t after eating the same things, that’s usually the clue.

So, DO NOT skip the king cake!

It’s Mardi Gras season in New Orleans.
Which means king cake, parades, late nights, and a lot of food.

Laissez les bons temps rouler… but also, how do you enjoy it all and still feel good in your body?

That’s actually part of what we work on.

This isn’t a “here’s what you can and can’t eat” kind of program.
It’s 16 weeks of learning how your body uses food and why certain meals make you feel great while others leave you feeling off.

We talk about food, mindset, and real life.
Eating out. Holidays. Family gatherings. Mardi Gras included.

Food is culture here. Celebrating is part of who we are.
The goal isn’t restriction or guilt. It’s learning how to party, enjoy the food, and still feel like yourself.

If you’ve ever wondered why some days feel fine and others don’t, this is usually where the answers start.

Have you ever eaten a meal that should have been fine…
but you felt tired, off, or hungry again way too soon?

Stop blaming yourself. That’s what this data will show you.

It’s not just about how high glucose goes after you eat.
It’s how long it stays there.

Some meals cause a quick rise and settle back down.
Others hang around longer, and that’s usually when people notice energy dips, brain fog, or cravings later on.

Most of us never get to see this, so we end up guessing and blaming ourselves instead.

Seeing your own patterns makes things click.
You stop wondering what you did wrong and start understanding what works for your body.

This is the kind of thing I walk clients through every day using continuous glucose monitoring.

If you’re looking at this and thinking, “I wonder what mine would look like,” that’s usually the first sign it’s worth exploring. Reach out with any questions you have.

Most people think glucose is only about spikes. What matters just as much is how long it stays elevated.

The sensor sits just under the skin (not in your blood) and lets me see how your body responds after you eat, how high glucose rises, and how quickly it comes back down.

Some meals recover fast. Others linger, and that’s usually where energy dips start.
Seeing this in real time takes the guesswork out of food and helps you understand what actually works for your body.

Strength training breaks muscle down so it can rebuild stronger. That part is normal. Recovery is where results actually happen.

Supporting your body after a workout helps muscles repair, reduces lingering soreness, and makes strength feel sustainable. One simple way to do that is adding protein when your body needs it most.

I often recommend something like Dymatize Elite Whey Protein as an easy option to support muscle recovery without overcomplicating nutrition.

Movement should build you up, not leave you feeling worn down.
What you do after your workout matters just as much as the workout itself.

29/01/2026

You’re showing up.
You’re doing the workouts.
And you’re still not getting stronger.

That frustration is real.

Muscle doesn’t grow during the workout. It grows after, when your body has what it needs to repair and rebuild. Without enough support, muscle stays broken down, soreness lingers, and progress stalls.

This isn’t about working harder or adding more exercises. It’s about giving your body the tools to recover so the work you’re already doing actually counts.

When recovery improves, strength follows.

Caffeine suppresses hunger hormones, which can make it feel like you don’t need food. But that suppression doesn’t last. By mid-afternoon, those hormones rebound, and suddenly you’re starving and reaching for whatever is fastest.

That’s why the 2 PM snack machine feels impossible to ignore.
This isn’t a discipline problem. It’s biology.

The solution is not cutting coffee or white-knuckling hunger. It’s being prepared. Having protein-forward snacks ready like almonds, string cheese, edamame, or beef sticks helps stabilize hunger before it spirals.

Hunger patterns are predictable. When you plan for them, you stop feeling out of control around food.

Glucose gets a bad reputation, but it’s not the problem.

Your body needs glucose for energy, focus, and movement. The issue is what happens when it isn’t managed well. Spikes and crashes can leave you tired, craving sugar, and feeling like food controls your day.

When glucose stays more stable, energy improves, hunger feels calmer, and weight management gets easier. This is why understanding how your body responds to food matters more than cutting things out.

Food works better when your body can use it.

20/01/2026

When glucose stays elevated, your body cannot use it for energy. Instead, it stores it. That storage shows up as weight gain. If insulin resistance is present, that process gets even harder because glucose stays circulating instead of being used.
This is why weight loss can feel like a constant back-and-forth. It’s not about eating less. It’s about helping your body actually use energy instead of storing it.

So it feels like you’re doing everything right, but your body is working against you.
Understanding this changes how we approach food and results.

You eat what you’re “supposed” to eat. Still feel hungry, tired, or stuck.
So you start thinking if it’s you. Stop! It's not you. It's your guidance.
Instead of handing you another meal plan or grocery list, I look at why your meals aren’t working for your body.
Are you under-eating protein? Are your meals spiking blood sugar? Are your workouts, stress, or schedule changing what you actually need?

When the plan fits your real life, food stops feeling like a constant battle.

It’s not about more discipline. It’s about better guidance.

Your gut plays a much bigger role in hunger than most people realize.

Inside the body, hormones like ghrelin and leptin help signal when you’re hungry and when you’re full. These hormones sit on fat cells and communicate constantly with your brain. When that system is out of balance, you may experience what many people call “head hunger” or constant food noise.

GLP-1 medications work by quieting those hunger signals, which is exactly what they’re designed to do. But that leads to an important question: how do we properly nourish the body while those signals are suppressed?

This is where gut health matters. Supporting your gut helps your hormones respond appropriately, so your body still gets what it needs even when appetite changes.

Understanding this process allows us to make smarter, more supportive food choices, especially for those using GLP-1 medications. Hunger is not a willpower issue. It’s a hormonal conversation happening inside your body.
