10 years ago most people couldn't tell you what gluten was, now almost everyone knows someone who has given it up temporarily or cut it out of their diet completely. I remember being positively baffled about the idea of giving up... gasp... BREAD?! How can one live without bread??
Healthy Alcohol Swaps + What I Drink!
I want to start by talking about alcohol. Full disclosure: I drink alcohol. Not often, and it's not unusual for me to purposely give it up for 30 days at a time to unload and extra burdens on my liver, but don't be shocked if you see a cocktail on my Instagram feed, ok? Especially during baseball season, lol!

Three Recipes Using Meal Prepped Salmon
One of the lessons I continue to drive home with my clients is that you do not have to be too busy to create a body you love! Busy-ness is an obstacle that we can strategize, not an excuse to eat poorly and feel like crap. (I'm also not afraid to give my clients some tough love!)
On that note, today's email is going to give you three meals to use with pre-cooked salmon. You can cook one batch of salmon and use it three different times throughout the week, saving you time so you can live your life.
Three Simple Recipes With Made Ahead Ground Meat
Today I'm going to give you three recipes to use with ground meat. My favorite kind of ground meat is actually bison! I love bison because it's always grass-fed and contains a high amount of omega-3 fatty acids. It's rich in iron for cell development and vitamin E to keep your skin glowing. It's also jam packed with protein!
How I Easily Meal Prep- Cook Once, Eat Three Times
I sat down with a new client this week and she shared with me a common struggle that I hear from every woman I work with, "I know I need to eat healthier but I feel so busy. I end up making poor food choices because I'm in a rush. I need to take the time to meal prep but I don't know how to get started."
Ah, meal prep! It's so gratifying when we take the time to do it, yet it's a constant struggle to follow through on the plan each week. Even I struggle with this!
Interval Workout – No Equipment Needed!
Are these dreary winter days giving you the blues? I love spending time outside but this cold weather has made it hard to get out for long stretches of time.
Last Sunday I was planning to walk the kids to the park to run around and it started raining yet again! Determined to get some exercise in, I transformed my stairwell into a gym and got a quick, 20-minute workout. I'm always amazed at how much it improves my mood to just work-out for 20 minutes!
Are You Making One Of These Common Mistakes?
Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right and still not seeing the results you want? You're eating clean and exercising, drinking a ton of water and eating lots of fruit and vegetables, yet you still have that roll hanging over your jeans and the mid-day energy crash? Check in to see if any of these common mistakes apply to you:
A Peek Into My Health Journey
I've had some recent growth on my newsletter list and it occurred to me that many of you have no idea what my health journey has been about. Today, I want to take a moment to give you a peek into my past.
There's a tendency in the health and fitness world (I too am guilty of this!) to assume that because someone appears to be healthy and fit that 1) they must have been born like that and 2) that it must come easy to them. My personal story defies both of those myths!

How To Create A New Healthy Habit!
How's it going? And I don't ask that in a casual way, like we're passing each other in a hallway, running by too quickly to actually hear the answer. How are you really doing?
