I don’t believe in one food that does it all.

We hear a lot of extreme messages from the media that sound like “Eat this super food, it’ll make all your problems go away!”

But the reality is that no food acts alone.

All foods act and react together.  And the environment and the body itself are also part of this reaction.

So I’m going to give you the facts on flax 🙂

Getting hungry

Hunger.

I love this topic because I think hunger is the key to so many breakthroughs: Physical and emotional.

However, most of us aren’t comfortable with feeling hungry.

Hunger feels unpleasant and urgent.

And the human brain, because it was created thousands of years ago, is still seeking pleasure and avoiding pain in order to survive… So it’s not interested in being hungry.

In essence, our brain’s primitive survival function is working against us in today’s over-abundance world.

Learning to be hungry could change everything for you.

Menopause, belly fat, and food

This week I decided to try something different.

I’m bringing my blog to you in video… I guess then it’s called a vlog.

It’s about the 4 hormones you should know about, especially if you’re heading to or through menopause.

And especially if you’re interested in less belly fat.

Also, I’ve put together a freebie for you.

It’s a PDF with the foods, 3 meal plans, guidelines and resources that can help you lessen the symptoms of menopause – including the gut.

Here’s the link to the freebie:

And here’s this week’s vlog:

Thanks for watching and don’t forget to grab your freebie!!

Keep moving forward my friend,

How to lose 50 pounds or more

Weight loss is a tough process.

I won’t sugar coat it.

Change – that is any type of change including weight loss – is uncomfortable.

But if the change is positive, pushing through the discomfort will strengthen every aspect of your being.

I know for a fact having personally gone through divorce, starting a business, and  working with clients who’ve lost a lot of weight, making positive changes on purpose makes you more resilient, energized, and present in your life.

So, if you’ve got a lot to lose, and you’re ready to get it done, here’s how I recommend tackling it:

Food Journals: Can they help you lose weight?

You might have thought about keeping a food journal, but have you ever really done it?

If you have, maybe you discovered that it was useful in helping you lose weight, or uncovering a food intolerance, or just becoming more aware of what you’ve been eating.

It’s a tool I suggest to all my clients because I know it can work for all these reasons.

But there’s also one thing I want you to watch out for when using a food journal.
