In this episode, I cut through the noise around salt and explain whether expensive options like Himalayan pink salt and Celtic sea salt are actually better for your health than regular table salt. I break down the difference between salt and sodium, why sodium is what really matters when it comes to blood pressure and heart health, and how much you actually need. I also compare the most common…
In this episode, I tackle one of the biggest barriers parents face with weight loss: trying to balance their own goals with feeding the rest of the family. I walk through three simple strategies that can make a huge difference without cooking separate meals or banning yourself from your kids' favourite snacks. We cover how to "grow up" your kids' snacks by adding protein, why you should pack your…
In this episode, I share the five biggest mindset shifts I've seen make the difference after working with thousands of people over the years. Instead of focusing on cutting foods out, relying on willpower, or chasing more nutrition information, I explain why sustainable weight loss comes from building a realistic plan that fits your life. We also dive into letting go of "good" and "bad" food…
In this episode, I explain why overeating after dinner is rarely a nighttime problem. Most of the time, it’s the result of under-eating earlier in the day. I walk through why trying to rely on willpower at night almost never works and how a better daytime eating structure can make evenings feel dramatically easier. I also cover the importance of building balanced breakfasts and lunches, knowing…
In this episode, I explain why buying a walking pad has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made for my health. It’s not about replacing the gym or going for more runs. It’s about increasing the amount of movement I get during the other 95% of my week when I’d otherwise be sitting at a desk. I share how I use my walking pad while working, who I think would benefit most from one, and why…
In this episode, I unpack the controversy around ham and processed meats, and separate the facts from the fearmongering. I explain what it actually means when processed meat is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen, why that doesn’t mean it’s as dangerous as smoking, and how social media has done a pretty poor job of explaining the difference. I also break down the real increase in bowel cancer risk…
In this episode, I talk about calorie tracking, why I actually like it as a tool, and also why I think a lot of people stay stuck using it for way too long. I explain how I prefer to use tracking in short bursts to help set a course, learn portions, and recalibrate when needed, rather than relying on an app to make every food decision forever. I also walk through some practical ways to start…
In this episode, Jenna and I unpack the obsession with high-protein diets and why more protein isn’t always better. We talk about how social media has skewed people’s expectations around what “enough” protein actually looks like, and why chasing huge protein numbers can sometimes come at the expense of carbs, fats, fibre, performance, and overall enjoyment of food. We also break down what optimal…
In this episode, I’m talking about meal planning and why, despite being a bit boring and unsexy, it’s one of the most powerful things you can do for your nutrition and weight loss goals. I walk through a couple of different ways to approach it, from having specific meals planned for each day to creating a flexible pool of meals to choose from throughout the week. I also share some practical tips…
In this episode, I’m talking about understanding your hunger a bit better and, more importantly, seeing it coming before it hits you. I focus on two of the biggest drivers I see all the time: poor sleep and, for a lot of women, certain stages of the menstrual cycle. Both can ramp up hunger pretty significantly, and if you’re not expecting it, it can feel like you’ve just “lost control” out of…
