Welcome to "Be Your Best Self Help Chats," where we engage in weekly, conversations about taking control of your health. This week's discussion revolves around a question I encounter almost daily: "I need new healthy recipes." But here's the twistâinstead of handing you a cookbook or recipe guide, I'm going to reveal three easy ways for you to discover recipes that align with your unique definition of healthy.
First things first, healthy means different things to different people. For me, it's gluten-free due to celiac disease in my family. However, your version of healthy might involve embracing gluten, and that's perfectly okay. Your family's needs and preferences should guide your definition of healthy.
Listen to this week's episode for three easy ways to add new recipes to your meal plan.

In this episode, we're diving into a topic that's sure to spark some interest - detoxes. It's a subject that often stirs mixed emotions, and we're here to help you navigate the complexities surrounding it.
We'll be discussing why you might want to reconsider the idea of detoxing, especially those online detoxes you can purchase without a doctor's prescription or recommendation.
I dive into a marketing ploy that made me mad this Summer with a wellness company she discovered on Instagram. It all started with my love for matcha and a craving for a new kind to try... This story does NOT turn out like you would expect it to.
While detoxes recommended by medical professionals have their time and place, these off-the-shelf solutions, often marketed aggressively before and after holidays, might not be as beneficial as they seem. At Be Your Best Self Coaching, we firmly believes that one-size-fits-all detoxes can leave you feeling worse, not better, despite the alluring marketing promises.
With the holiday season around the corner, the pressure to detox after indulgent celebrations can be overwhelming. However, our host is here to tell you that you don't need to go down that path. Holidays are meant to be enjoyed, and food is an integral part of these celebrations. Rather than depriving yourself, focus on finding a balance that works for you.
This week we share some tips to help you maintain your health and wellness goals while still enjoying holiday gatherings.
Remember, one day or one event doesn't define your overall health. The Best Self Method encourages you to understand your body's needs and support it accordingly. So, let's make this holiday season about creating wonderful memories with loved ones, rather than stressing over detox plans.
If you're looking for practical advice to navigate the holiday season without the unnecessary pressure of detoxing, you've come to the right place. Tune in to learn how to enjoy the festivities while staying on track with your health and wellness goals.

Losing weight can feel like riding a roller coaster, and hitting that weight loss plateau can feel like the biggest hill to climb. The journey is filled with crazy ups, challenging downs, unexpected twists, and many turns. Just as a roller coaster offers a mix of excitement and uncertainty, so does the process of dropping those extra pounds. As a nutrition coach working closely with clients on their weight loss goals, I often find that the path to success resembles a roller coaster ride more than a straightforward, linear journey.
Picture this: the exhilarating rush of the first drop, the anticipation of the uphill climb, the adrenaline of the curves and loopsâthese are all experiences that mirror the weight loss journey. Itâs essential to understand that weight loss isnât a fixed path. Itâs more like a roller coaster ride with its hills and drops.
Join us now on this episode of Be Your Best Self Health Chats, to talk about the dreaded weight loss plateau and now to get past it.

By definition, habit means "a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up."
There are many theories out there that habits take 21 days to solidify, however, according to research on average, habits take 66 days to build. Some take as few as 18 days and some may take 200+ days.
Why is that?
Training yourself to build new habits isnât always as simple as âIâm just going to do this every single dayâ. It would be nice if it was that easy, wouldnât it?
There are many different ways to add that habit into your day-to-day routine depending on what that habit is.
For those habits that are not as easy to rotate in (for example: building new eating habits) I encourage my clients to use my Best Self Method.
Research Adjust HealToday Iâm going to take you through each step of the method as it can apply to building new eating habits, specifically, weâre going to work through the best self method to build the habit of adding a vegetable to each meal and the steps that come with it.

There is a cycle of nutrition, and it isn't just about food. As a nutrition coach, I often find that when someone comes to me to âeat healthierâ they are surprised to find that I won't just write up a meal plan.
To be fair, Iâm not a registered dietician so I canât legally write meal plans⊠but thatâs beside the point.
As a nutrition coach, I work with people on the nutrition ON their plate and their habits OFF their plate.
Thereâs a saying âAbs are made in the kitchenâ and I'm going to call BS on that this week on the podcast.

Maybe youâve heard the words âinflammatory foodsâ before, maybe you havenât.
Maybe it resonates with you and maybe you are thinking âWhat in the world is she talking aboutâ
Either way, this will be a good episode.
More so than normal lately, Iâm hearing the words âgut health, inflammation, heal your gut, etcâ Itâs not a bad thing. We all should be doing it. However, if you arenât planning on making healthier nutrition choices, no amount of shakes, juices, drinks, or supplements is going to solve your problems.
Inflammatory foods are everywhere today. Chances are you ate one for breakfastâŠ. If you ate breakfast. While we wonât get rid of them in our daily diet (theyâre too convenient) itâs important to be aware of what they are and what they are doing to our bodies.
Disclaimer: I AM NOT a doctor and am NOT diagnosing you with inflammation, what Iâm offering is information about inflammation. In order to work SPECIFICALLY on your issues, depending on the level of problems, I highly recommend a nutrition coach (hi that's me), registered dietician, or medical professional.

Todayâs podcast is going to be a little different than what we normally do. Usually, I record by myself and upload it later. However, I recently started a new community called Healthy Mom Lifestyle, where we are ditching the âhot girlâ trend and focusing on building a healthy lifestyle for ourselves and our families.
As part of the community, I will also be providing bi-weekly live training. To give you a glimpse into what the community will be getting, Iâm going to invite you to this weekâs live training, where we are going to talk about diet vs. lifestyle.
Letâs talk about diet vs. lifestyle.
It felt like an appropriate topic for our first live training as this is the Healthy Mom Lifestyle community. I also feel like both can sometimes get a bad reputation, so I think itâs an important topic to talk about.
There is this phrase, âItâs a lifestyle, not a diet,â that I see EVERYWHERE.
Itâs used to shame people; itâs used to encourage people; itâs in gyms; itâs on social media, etc.
Itâs true health should be a lifestyle. It should have no end date; your health doesnât suddenly stop mattering after your best friend's wedding.
But a diet can be PART of that lifestyle.

It's time for a healthy Summer. Summer break is here (or coming soon) in most of the US. Fun in the sun, graduation parties, family cookouts, golf outings, beach trips, sporting events, tailgating, and more. Personally, itâs my favorite time of the year.
It also can be the most chaotic.
Those parties, cookouts, sporting events, and times in the sun also mean a lack of routine, more food (often not healthy), and less opportunity to hit the gym.
I will start this by saying THIS IS NOT A BAD THING.
Sometimes we NEED to loosen our routine, ditch the structure and give our bodies freedom.
But not to the point of destroying our bodies.
Join me in episode 72 to make our plans for a healthy summer.

Moving your body doesnât have to be complicated. Instead of telling you what type of workouts to do and how to move your body, we will talk about different movement options based on your goals and your current season of life.
Before deciding what kind of movement you should add to your day, itâs essential to look at where you are, then at your immediate and long-term goals.
If you are starting new to moving your body, you wonât want to jump in and start weight training and running every day.
If you are looking for a toned body, youâre movement requirement is going to be different than someone just looking to be a healthier version of themselves.
If you have your favorite forms of movement but want to see a different change, how should you change it?
In this episode, I share a bit of my journey through movement over ten years; maybe it will inspire you to try something new.

True or false, the quality of sleep you get affects the quality of food on your plate.
Listen to episode 68 where we will answer this question and more.
Sleep is so important as it helps your body rest, rebuild and regenerate.
If you arenât getting quality sleep, your body wonât be functioning at its highest and if your body isnât functioning at its highest, you wonât be able to make proper decisions about the food on your plate, recover from a workout, think straight at work or overall be the healthiest version of you.
The pandemic taught us that itâs not about the grind anymore, but as we enter the 3-year mark⊠the mentality of the grind is coming back⊠and so are late nights, lack of sleep, and poor habits.
Letâs flip that script and start working on our sleep some more.

I could give you a long definition of what proteins are and what they do, but we don't need to get that detailed around here.

I could start and end this episode with one sentence, âfast food is still fast foodâ but that also wouldnât be fair to those who truly want to learn.
While I get the convenience, we are relying TOO much on fast food these days and often deem it a âhealthy optionâ as a good substitute for a homecooked meal. Iâm not saying we shouldnât rely on fast food. However, itâs important to know what the trade-off is.
There are ways to make your fast food meal a healthier option but there are things to consider before pulling up to the drive-up window.
Today let's talk about:

Letâs continue our discussion of 10 reasons your diet isnât working. This week we move on to number three⊠are you REALLY sticking to your diet like you say you are.
Now before you hit pause. Hang with me. This episode might be a bit of a gut punch, but I think itâs an important conversation to have.
When I chat with my one on one clients, oftentimes there is this conversation of âI wrote down everything, but itâs not making sense. I still donât fit into my clothes but Iâm doing all of the thingsâ
But when we dig in a little further, things start to make sense.
Hang with me as Iâm going to give you some questions to ask yourself when it comes to your diet working... including getting honest with your goals in your current season of life.

Last week we talked all about ten reasons your diet isnât working. The topic hit a few buttons and brought up several questions. Instead of moving on, I decided weâre going to take it a step further and spend a few weeks breaking down each reason more in-depth.
As the song says, letâs start at the very beginning⊠I hear itâs a great place to start. The first reason you're diet isn't working is because youâre dehydrated [maybe].
Youâre probably saying; please donât make me drink a gallon of water a day. Iâm not here to do that⊠except maybe I am. Weâll get to that too.
As usual with me, this is where I start talking about listening to your body. Our body has a way of telling us things and itâs up to us to start listening. There are so many ways our body is trying to tell us it's dehydrated, but we often don't listen.
On today's podcast, we talk about:
How to tell if you're dehydrated or need to drink more water How much water should you drink How to actually drink more water, especially if you hate water.Come join me.
