Probably one of my favorite topics! A cleanse and a detox are often used interchangeably, however, in my opinion, there are some key differences. A lot of people and brands, may not stop to think about what they are actually talking about on a physiological level when they embark on or put together some kind […]
Protein… Definitely the most popular of the macronutrients!!! Fat has had its fair share of bad press, now it’s back to poor carbohydrates… But protein prevails.So, what is it about our devout obsession? Let’s take a look… What is protein? Protein is one of three of the macronutrients (the other two being carbohydrates and fat), and is made up of amino acids. Of the twenty amino acids found […]
CHANGE – this word either excites or incites fear in people. I know for myself, I have lived with change my whole life. When it comes to changes in emotions and relationships, I can be rigid and at times, unaccepting. I have had lots change in my life starting with my parents divorcing when I […]
Have you ever heard of the phrase “trust your gut”, or referred to having “a gut-feeling” about something? These are not random pairings of words!

Often, we focus on getting in enough protein. We track our intake of fat. Some closely monitor their sugar intake… but is anyone counting their vegetables?! 5 servings a day is a minimum requirement, but frankly, I rarely see clients who meet this conservative amount. We know that the consumption of fruit and vegetables is […]
Food prep truly is the foundation to our health. Whether you work from home, an office or are at school/university, a certain amount of preparation is critical if we are to make healthy choices. Without it, we are likely to reach for the convenient option, the takeaway shop near the office, the food delivery app, […]
I cannot believe it’s already December, seriously. Can you? Incredible how time goes by so fast. Well, it’s almost the New Year. And the thing is – I am not at all into New Year’s Resolutions.
