So what if you’ve been eating less calories than you’re burning in workouts, eating healthy foods, and you’re STILL not seeing results? There are so many things that go into nutrition. Sometimes it’s not THAT simple. There are many routes to go in order to find out what the problem is, but a great place to start is food sensitivities, because #1 everyone has them and #2 you WILL notice a difference when eliminating them. Everyone has some kind of food sensitivity. Everyone. Whenever your body builds up a sensitivity, it becomes inflamed whenever you consume a specific food, which...

Carbs have suuuuch a bad reputation. They’re blamed for weight gain and the reason why we can’t burn fat. I’m sure you’ve heard so many people say, “I need to lose weight, so I’m eating low carb”. Horrible idea. I’ve had clients lose weight eating 200g+ of carbs! Why is this a thing?! These weirdo’s WILL lose weight, but what KIND of weight are they actually losing? Let’s start with how the body works. Our bodies are able to utilize both carbs and fats for energy production. If available, it will use carbs FIRST. The only way it will turn...

Science tells us that we need to eat LESS to lose weight. But “less” compared to what exactly? What if you’re already eating only 1000 or 1300 calories per day?

People can say all day long, “less calories in, more...

I think we can all agree that modern day humans are not the most active individuals outside of the gym…. if they even workout at all. We’re all glued to our phones, sitting at desks, driving, and pretty much doing ALLLLLL the sitting possible.

This also means – overactive hip flexors, upper back and traps, chest, etc. ...

Let’s flip the script. Like I stated in my last blog post, cardio and HIIT have their place and their own benefits, right? Right. SO, how do we actually go about doing cardio?? Do we just get on the treadmill and stay there for an hour doing the same shit? Or, do we do this crazy circuit until we can’t breathe and take minimal rest? Absolutely not. How do you even know what you’re burning in that hour on the treadmill? I mean, your burning calories so that has to be good, right? Not necessarily. You need to make friends...
