TIPS TO BE YOUR BEST SELF

Pregnancy is wild, isn’t it?

One day you’re marveling at the tiny human growing inside you, and the next, you're wondering if your jeans will ever fit again.

Gaining weight is part of pregnancy, but the question that is most often asked, how much is too much? And how do you support the body through pregnancy for optimal outcomes in post partum recovery?

Let’s talk about it.

As a health and nutrition coach, I look into clients’ lifestyles to get to the root of their weight loss blockages. I do not claim that diet can cure mental health issues because there are a lot of individualized factors leading to them that need professional guidance. But I do know that diet is a controllable factor that can help to reduce symptoms. 

So, in this blog I’m going to discuss vitamins, minerals and nutrients that can decrease the burden of depressive disorders and what foods they can be found in.

Clients have followed diets and workout plans found online for years with only yo-yo results. As a health coach, I get to the roots of their weight loss difficulties and through nutrition, health and fitness coaching, find a lifestyle and plan that will ensure consistency, and therefore, long-lasting results. 

There is always a checklist I run through to find where they could have been going wrong in their health journey up until now.

I’m too busy to work out. I don’t have the time to think about nutrition nor prepare my food. My sleep is all over the place. I feel stressed ALL the time.

These are just a few things my health coaches and I hear regularly. If this is you, then read on. We can give you manageable tips to make more time in your day for doing the things you need to do to move the needle in the direction you desire. Building the foundations strong is how you sustain your health and therefore a body shape you no longer have to work for but can actually live in.

If I could permanently eliminate one myth from your mind it would be this: 

less calorie-in and more calorie-out = successful weight loss

This is a strategy 9 out of 10 individuals I talk to have tried, initially with some success, but quickly finding their way back to the same weight (or more) than what they weighed before starting. There’s so many factors that need to be taken into account when losing weight, from lifestyle habits and movement, to sex hormones, cortisol and thyroid hormones. So, I want to provide you some knowledge surrounding this strategy and educate you.

Why? This myth can be so damaging.
