    #312: Body Composition > Weight Scale Number (And Here’s Why!)

    Body composition is ultimately the thing you are pursuing if you are working on your body…even if you don’t know it yet. Body comp > weight scale number One is the bigger picture. The other doesn’t even touch on the bigger picture.   In this episode, I explain why body composition should always take precendence over simply looking at a number on the weight scale and running away with only that as a gauge of progress.

    What happens when you have a couple of tried and true meal options you have in rotation that you know are effective and tick off the right nutrition boxes… But then they become boring and you start to not feel like eating them?

    #309: The Double Edged Sword of the Pursuit of Perfectionism

    The pursuit of perfectionism. You are either familiar with it as someone who has felt it or seen others do it. Regardless, the fact of the matter is that striving for perfectionist behaviour in the nutrition space can be a double edged sword. Too many dieters think that you need to be perfect to be successful and that the only way to reach a fat loss or muscle building or performance goal…is to be perfect with their eating. Not so true and time for some hard truths.  In this episode, I explain why the pursuit of perfectionism is unnecessary and could actually be one of the reasons you are being held back and not achieving the progress you want.

    #308: 6 Lifestyle Changes You Can Make To Start Dropping Body Fat In 2026

    The start of a new year often brings fresh motivation around fat loss… and just as often, a lot of unnecessary pressure. Many people feel they need to completely overhaul their diet, cut out everything they enjoy, and “be perfect” to see results. The reality? Fat loss doesn’t need extreme rules to work. In fact, it’s usually the simple but effective, repeatable changes that make the biggest difference over time and gets you started on the right track. As a Dietitian and Nutritionist, I see this play out every year. When people focus on a handful of high-impact habits that support consistency, fat loss becomes far easier to kick off and maintain.  In this episode, I share 6 nutrition and lifestyle changes that can help tip the scales in your favour without turning your life upside down.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualized advice for you!

    New years resolutions. New year, new me.

In this episode, I explain what you should do instead of a new years resolution as well as deep dive into why new year new me resolutions fail for a lot of people.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualized advice for you!

    #306: The biggest lie in the nutrition space is…

    There have been a lot of lies said around the nutrition table over the years!  But one of those is about to be quashed, that you can believe.   There is not shortage of lies, half-truths, and un-truths in the nutrition world and many fall for them, leading them astray or just making things harder and more complicated than it needs to be. That is why it’s my job as a Dietitian to break through the misinformation and clear up the air. In this episode, I uncover one of the most common lies that the nutrition and health and fitness industry continues to spew in varying degrees, and how you can overcome this to gain more clariity and direction with your own path.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualized advice for you!
