There is so much noise about detox diets and nutrition cleanses - do they really work? Does our body even detoxify? Is it all a load of crap and one big marketing scheme?!

When we get busy, it's easy to forget to take care of ourselves (let alone eat!)

In this video, I'm showing you how to plan your meals even when you have a bajillion things on your list AND make it something you're actually looking forward to. I also cover how to craft a back up plan for when you don't have any time.

Why do we crave sugar and carbs?? Understanding your cravings will help you - whether you want to lose weight or have a better relationship with food.

• Understand why cravings are in our biology
• What does sugar do to our body and brains?

TMI alert - today we’re talking about poop.

Not just because it’s really funny (I mean … #toilethumor, anyone?), but understanding what ends up in the toilet bowl can give us so much insight into our health.

Have you ever considered that there's a way that you can enjoy the foods you want and love, but in a way that makes you feel good (without making your stomach hurt)?

Read on to learn why cravings are higher this time of year and some suggestions on how to manage them.

As this week marks the official start to the holidays I want to take a moment to get intentional about the way we are starting this time of year.

I see the same trend every year - many people hitting ‘pause’ on their health with the intention of ‘restarting’ in the New Year. If this is what you were planning on doing, I want to challenge you. Because I know you can do better than that.

It took me so long to fall in love with brussels sprouts. The things we pick up as a kid can be pretty funny - I remember my mom joking about how stinky they were and so I remember hating them before I even tried them. When I finally dug in, I was totally surprised and a little upset…

For years I had been searching for a good pumpkin pie recipe and would stitch it together at the last moment, which is either a total win or a complete fail.

The recipe I present to you is not exactly “pumpkin pie”, but its damn delicious, tastes like warmed pumpkin pie pudding and actually pretty clean.

Have you ever opened up a squash without feeling like you’re going to lose a finger? I honestly hadn’t until I googled how for this recipe.

As a nutritionist you might think I eat healthy all the time, but that’s not always the case.

I feel that the pressure of being perfect all the time - thinking of the diet as ‘all or nothing’ - is really overwhelming.

I also find that this type of pressure mentally takes its toll and steals the joy from eating (and joy is a huge part of eating!!) …

Cauliflower rice isn’t one of those things that you really need a recipe for. It’s pretty simple, really: buy pre-crumbled cauliflower (or rice your own in the food processor, if you’re feeling inspired), saute in oil on the stove top, spice it up, and boom - you’re done.

But if you want to up-level your cauliflower rice skills, try this recipe that I have adapted from Against all Grain.

Probiotics can be so confusing - there are so many different brands with different strains and amounts of bacteria. How can you tell which one is good for you? When you take them, how can you tell if they’re helping?

It’s starting to taste like summer!!

The moment I see tomatoes back in season my heart skips a beat and I begin to scheming how I can infuse them into everything I eat. Naturally, a tomato appetizer is on the menu this week.

Uncovering the root cause of your bloating can be really frustrating - especially when you’re already eating well are avoiding your ‘guilty pleasures’. Maybe you’ve even gone on a juice cleanse or elimination diet (and you even take a probiotic!), but your gut is still being problematic … what gives?

This is a great nutrient dense snack option for those of you who are on the go – just a 20 minute investment can save you many moments of hanger (you’re welcome!). Almonds are super high in fiber and fat, stabilizing your blood sugar levels an in turn improve your energy levels while also supporting fat loss.

Dispelling the myth of "The Perfect Diet" - how to seek a healthier relationship with food.

One of my biggest nutrition pet peeves is when food masquerades itself as healthy when it's really not. This is usually the case with yogurt - while many of us believe it is healthy for us (all those probiotics!!), they are actually a sugar bomb (with a whopping 20-30 grams of sugar per serving!). 

This is why I have fall in love with making my own yogurt ...

Drinking a green juice is like super charging your nutrition!
