7 Reasons You Crave Sugar (That Have Nothing to Do With Willpower)
Do you have a secret stash of Cadbury mini eggs or shortbread cookies hidden where the kids and hubby can’t find them? Do you find yourself dipping into the bag two… three… even four times a day?
So many of us reach for sugary pastries, chocolate bars, and other sweet treats throughout the day, then wind up feeling guilty or ashamed. We have this idea that we’re self-sabotaging or that we have no willpower — that’s it’s all OUR fault that we ate the whole bag.
While willpower may...
Supercharge Your Family’s Immunity & Avoid the Sick-Cycle
You know the moment: the faint sound of a cough from the next room. The sudden attack of sniffles at the dinner table. The realization that a half-full box of Kleenex is now dangerously close to empty.
Your kid is sick… and you’re bracing yourself for the storm.
Because usually, when ONE person gets sick, the WHOLE FAMILY winds up feeling it (and for moms, that means taking care of everyone else while not feeling your usual fab self). During cold season or Covid surges, it can feel like a co...
Why You May Be Feeling Low-Energy (and How to Fix It)!
We live in a nation full of VERY tired people. If you’re drinking 2 or 3 cups of coffee every morning and are still ready for a nap by 3 pm, you’re not alone. Many of us feel sluggish, worn out, or simply low on energy throughout the day. In fact, fatigue is one of the most common reasons that women reach out to work with me.
The problem? Overcoming fatigue is rarely as simple as just getting more sleep. There are dozens of reasons why you may not be feeling as energetic as you used...
Busting PMS Myths
We have this idea in our society that period pain is just an inevitable part of life, that it’s normal and commonplace for women to suffer for one week out of every month, and that we should just accept it without complaint.
I’m here to tell you that this just isn’t true!
Period pain should NOT be normalized in this way. You do NOT need to spend four days laying on the couch with a hot water bottle over your pelvis, binge-watching Love is Blind and feeling like junk. You des...
Does Intermittent Fasting Live Up to the Hype?
Intermittent fasting. What the heck is it? Is it a diet? Why are so many people talking about it? Is it healthy? And does it actually work??
Well… it’s complicated. Let’s start with the basics.
Intermittent fasting shouldn’t be thought of as a diet, per se. It isn’t about WHAT you eat, so much as it is about WHEN you eat. When you engage in intermittent fasting, you space out your meal times to create long periods of fasting. These “fasting windows” can vary in length, but are genera...
Episode 003 - 6 Reasons Why Your Sleep Sucks After Having Kids
Before becoming a parent, you may have taken sleep for granted. Sure, you probably had a few sleepless nights or woke up tired every now and then, but sleeping as a parent is a whole new ball game!
Poor sleep can come in a few different flavours, such as an inability to fall asleep, inability to stay asleep, and having irregular sleeping patterns. There are a ton of great reasons to put some real effort toward improving your sleep. Better sleep means better focus, happier mood, healthier food choices, more energy, and overall better p...
Episode 002 - 5 Simple Ways to Detoxify Daily
Did you know that your body is exposed to over 80,000 different chemicals every… single… day??
Um, YIKES.
A lot of this exposure comes from personal care products, such as cleansers, cosmetics, deodorants, and skin care products. You’re also exposed via household cleaning products, crafting glues, air pollutants, plastic water bottles (if you use them), and a ton of other sources. Not all chemicals are toxic — water is a chemical compound, after all! But many of the chemicals that you inhale or absorb each day can have negative effects on your hea...
Episode 001 - 6 Steps to the Perfect Smoothie
Not all smoothies are created equal. So, what makes a perfect smoothie?
When I’m making a smoothie, it’s with the goal of packing it as full of nutrients as I possibly can. I’m talking fibre, healthy fats, antioxidants, and more phytonutrients than you can shake a stick at!
Why? Because when you start your morning off with a nutritional bang, that can carry you through the rest of your busy day. Turns out the rumours are true: what you eat can and doe...
