EP 103 – Eat This: Reading blood test results

We’ve all been to the doctor, sat down at their desk or stretched out on the observation table and shared how you’re feeling and what your symptoms and concerns are. Your doctor assesses them all, writes notes, maybe checks you out, does a physical exam and maybe orders some tests to see what’s not seen. It might be an ultrasound, Xray, CT scan or MRI to work as superman xray vision to see you on […]

EP 102 – Eat This: The Blame Game

Why me, why her/him and not me? Why does it seem so much easier for others to lose the weight, stick to the program, to get up and go to the gym, basically anything that you see others having success in. “Why not me” is a narrative that can weigh you down, keep you stuck and hold you back from feeling incredible and having the life that you want.  Do you know what’s holding you […]

EP 101 – Eat This: Be intentional

A good friend of mine, once had the note on his WhatsApp as BE INTENTIONAL. As he’s a wildly successful entrepreneur and coach, that phrase has stayed with me, although I haven’t always practiced it.

I’m well aware that even with the best of intentions, […]

EP 99 – Eat This: Red Light Therapy

I’m guilty. Yep, this Black Friday I got sucked into a social media post I saw of a colleague, and all that she found amazing about a particular product. I clicked through, saw the benefits and within about 15 minutes made a purchase. Ever done that? Or maybe a better question is, have you done that and NOT regretted it? No buyers remorse from me on my purchase, but I’ve come to realize that I […]

EP 98 – Eat This: FODMAP

Have you ever come across an acronym that you just couldn’t figure out? A colleague at work shared with me that he had just learned what LMAO stood for. How about diets? Sure there’s the DASH diet (dietary approach to stopping hypertension), the GAPS diet or gut and psychology diet, but what about the FODMAP diet? Ever heard of that one? Well on the heels of episode 97, all about candida, fungus and yeast, I […]

EP 97 – Eat This: Fungus, yeast and candida

While it’s not a usual to talk about anal itching, vaginal itching, jock itch, athletes food, crusty itchy skin amongst friends, that’s the kind of thing that we talk about here.
