Back To Alcohol

I can’t speak to what your social media feed looks like but because I’m connected to a lot of fellow coaches in the industry, there’s a particular leaning to the place alcohol may have in someone’s diet. There are coaches, like myself, who may imbibe and may post those images on social media. And there […]

The FAQ On FLS

The final intake of 2024 for my 8-week online group coaching program, Fat Loss Simplified, begins next week. I wanted to take a few moments to answer commonly asked questions about it in case you (or someone you know) is interested in joining. What Is FLS? I designed this course to be a close-knit, supportive […]

You Could Have It All (Sort Of)

Some time between 3:45-4:15 a.m. each morning, I’m waking up to get my day started. I normally give myself one day each week to sleep in and that day usually falls on Sunday. Sleeping in for me might only be sometime around 5-6 a.m. As a result, it’s a real struggle for me to stay […]

A Certain Rebirth

I hadn’t intended to write another music-related post so soon after my article about Kendrick Lamar but something of interest happened last week and it got me thinking about it on a broader scale. If you’re here to read something about health, I promise to make a tie in at the end so I hope […]

Self-Care Stories

I Know What To Do But…

It might sound funny to you but a lot of the clients I work with don’t have an information problem when it comes to fat loss.  They’re well educated, well read, they’ve likely already been successful more than once losing fat but the weight keeps coming back and now they’re stuck.  So, the common refrain […]

10 Things I Say Often As A Nutrition Coach

I’m far more concerned about 3-4 days of a recent food journal (1-2 normal days and 1-2 abnormal days) than I am about the calories you think you need to be hitting to achieve fat loss. Rather than driving yourself crazy trying to weigh and measure every solitary thing in your diet, look at what […]

Kendrick Has Changed/Ruined Me

If you know me, you know how much I love music. You probably also know that I can be unfairly and unreasonably opinionated about music as well. I remember sometime in the 80s, when I could go to the store and buy cassettes on my own, and start to build my own little collection of […]

Macros For Fat Loss Made Easy

In my mind, I’m telling myself that this will be a short post this week. I know that many people either currently are tracking or have tracked macros before for fat loss success. One thing I’ve found over the years is that it’s easily over-complicated and not only can it ruin your relationship with food […]

This Is Seven

You’re reading this on the week of Sebastian’s 7th birthday. I asked him what he was looking forward to about turning 7 and his best answer was: first grade. So, here’s the scoop on what Sebastian’s life has been like since his last birthday… He had a complete blast during kindergarten and made friends he […]
