Holiday Health Without The Hustle

, ,

We often hear about the need for a "holiday survival kit," but just using the word survival suggests the season is something difficult we must simply endure. The truth is, the holidays provide a wonderful chance to build connection and lean into celebration.

This season, avoid the all-or-nothing trap of thinking you must "start over in January." The most lasting success is built by practicing flexibility now. Learn to use the Dial Mindset Method to adjust your effort based on life's reality and the Nutrition Continuum to make small, incremental upgrades to your eating. Your goal is not perfection, but consistency, which leads to confidence and long-term health success beyond the holidays.

Rethinking "Clean Eating" Why Your Food Language Is Keeping You Stuck

, ,

In this blog post, I explain why terms like "eat clean" and "cheat meal" can actually undermine your long-term health efforts. As a health coach, I see how this kind of rigid, judgmental language creates frustration and keeps good people feeling stuck. Since no one can even agree on what "clean" means, it turns enjoying food into a confusing moral struggle. I share how letting go of this black-and-white thinking is the key to making sustainable progress. Your health journey should feel supportive and fit your real life, not an impossible ideal.

How the End of Daylight Saving Can Help You Rebuild a Morning Workout Routine

, ,

When we “fall back” at the end of Daylight Saving Time, most people think about gaining an extra hour of sleep. Years ago, I wrote about using that hour to restart morning workouts. Now, I see this moment even more clearly. The time change is more than a bonus hour. It creates a natural opening to reset habits, experiment with morning movement, and rethink the stories we tell ourselves like “I’m not a morning person.” Whether you use the extra hour to move your body or catch up on sleep, this season is a chance to rebuild your morning routine in a way that fits your life.
