Simplifying Weight Loss
Releasing fat from our body can be frustrating, time-consuming and emotionally exhausting! A certified weight loss coach takes all of the guesswork out of how to eat, what to eat and the best exercise practices to get the results you’re looking for. The science behind weight loss is powerful and works, but who has time to do the extensive research on macros, calories and exercise regimens? Take the keto lifestyle, for example. Complicated to figure out on your own? YES! But a coach can simplify the whole process and bring you emotional freedom while you get the results you deserve.

Spring Self-Care
Spring is a great time for cleansing and self-care, and there are many ways to take time for yourself. Here are a few suggestions: 1) Get outside daily for a walk. This provides natural vitamin D, gets the blood/lymph flowing, and supports better blood sugar regulation. 2) Grow some plants or visit a greenhouse to decrease stress and boost your mood. 3) Support your liver and decrease seasonal allergies – get to bed by 11pm, drink some lemon water, take bitter herbs like dandelion, and cook with rosemary. 4) Write down three positive things a day to support your mental health.
