Ep. 81 - Three Easy Ways To Find New Healthy Recipes For Your Weekly Meal Plan

Welcome to "Be Your Best Self Help Chats," where we engage in weekly, conversations about taking control of your health. This week's discussion revolves around a question I encounter almost daily: "I need new healthy recipes." But here's the twist—instead of handing you a cookbook or recipe guide, I'm going to reveal three easy ways for you to discover recipes that align with your unique definition of healthy. First things first, healthy means different things to different people. For me, it's gluten-free due to celiac disease in my family. However, your version of healthy might involve embracing gluten, and that's perfectly okay. Your family's needs and preferences should guide your definition of healthy.

Ep. 80 - You Don't Need A Detox After A Holiday Weekend, Here's How To Enjoy Your Food & Still Hit Your Health Goals

In this episode, we're diving into a topic that's sure to spark some interest - detoxes. It's a subject that often stirs mixed emotions, and we're here to help you navigate the complexities surrounding it. We'll be discussing why you might want to reconsider the idea of detoxing, especially those online detoxes you can purchase without a doctor's prescription or recommendation. I dive into a marketing ploy that made me mad this Summer with a wellness company she discovered on Instagram. It all started with my love for matcha and a craving for a new kind to try... This story does NOT turn out like you would expect it to. While detoxes recommended by medical professionals have their time and place, these off-the-shelf solutions, often marketed aggressively before and after holidays, might not be as beneficial as they seem. At Be Your Best Self Coaching, we firmly believes that one-size-fits-all detoxes can leave you feeling worse, not better, despite the alluring marketing promises. With the holiday season around the corner, the pressure to detox after indulgent celebrations can be overwhelming. However, our host is here to tell you that you don't need to go down that path. Holidays are meant to be enjoyed, and food is an integral part of these celebrations. Rather than depriving yourself, focus on finding a balance that works for you. This week we share some tips to help you maintain your health and wellness goals while still enjoying holiday gatherings. Remember, one day or one event doesn't define your overall health. The Best Self Method encourages you to understand your body's needs and support it accordingly. So, let's make this holiday season about creating wonderful memories with loved ones, rather than stressing over detox plans. If you're looking for practical advice to navigate the holiday season without the unnecessary pressure of detoxing, you've come to the right place. Tune in to learn how to enjoy the festivities while staying on track with your health and wellness goals. The Best Self Method: The three steps you need to reach and maintain a healthy lifestyle without the diets, juice cleanses and fancy shakes. This 10-minute mini-course will teach you: What the Best Self Method is and how to use it in your every day life. How to define healthy for yourself. What to do when things don't go your way. How to apply The Best Self Method to each step of your journey. ⁠⁠Access it HERE for free.⁠⁠ About Me I'm Kristin, a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠holistic nutrition coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ helping busy moms simplify healthy eating to increase their energy levels and rebuild confidence in themselves.

Ep. 78 - The Weight Loss Rollercoaster: Navigating The Ups And Downs Of A Weight Loss Journey

Losing weight can feel like riding a roller coaster, and hitting that weight loss plateau can feel like the biggest hill to climb. The journey is filled with crazy ups, challenging downs, unexpected twists, and many turns. Just as a roller coaster offers a mix of excitement and uncertainty, so does the process of dropping those extra pounds. As a nutrition coach working closely with clients on their weight loss goals, I often find that the path to success resembles a roller coaster ride more than a straightforward, linear journey. Picture this: the exhilarating rush of the first drop, the anticipation of the uphill climb, the adrenaline of the curves and loops—these are all experiences that mirror the weight loss journey. It’s essential to understand that weight loss isn’t a fixed path. It’s more like a roller coaster ride with its hills and drops. Join us now on this episode of Be Your Best Self Health Chats, to talk about the dreaded weight loss plateau and now to get past it. The Best Self Method: The three steps you need to reach and maintain a healthy lifestyle without the diets, juice cleanses and fancy shakes. This 10-minute mini-course will teach you: What the Best Self Method is and how to use it in your every day life. How to define healthy for yourself. What to do when things don't go your way.

Ep. 77 - Adding Vegetables Into Your Daily Routine Using The Best Self Method

By definition, habit means "a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up." There are many theories out there that habits take 21 days to solidify, however, according to research on average, habits take 66 days to build. Some take as few as 18 days and some may take 200+ days. Why is that? Training yourself to build new habits isn’t always as simple as “I’m just going to do this every single day”. It would be nice if it was that easy, wouldn’t it? There are many different ways to add that habit into your day-to-day routine depending on what that habit is. For those habits that are not as easy to rotate in (for example: building new eating habits) I encourage my clients to use my Best Self Method. Research Adjust Heal Today I’m going to take you through each step of the method as it can apply to building new eating habits, specifically, we’re going to work through the best self method to build the habit of adding a vegetable to each meal and the steps that come with it.

Ep. 76 - Abs Aren't [Just] Made In the Kitchen: The Cycle of Nutrition On and Off Your Plate

There is a cycle of nutrition, and it isn't just about food. As a nutrition coach, I often find that when someone comes to me to “eat healthier” they are surprised to find that I won't just write up a meal plan. To be fair, I’m not a registered dietician so I can’t legally write meal plans… but that’s beside the point. As a nutrition coach, I work with people on the nutrition ON their plate and their habits OFF their plate. There’s a saying “Abs are made in the kitchen” and I'm going to call BS on that this week on the podcast. Are You Ready For A Meal Plan Without The Stress?

Ep. 74 - Getting To Know Inflammatory Foods - What are they and how do they affect your overall health?

Maybe you’ve heard the words “inflammatory foods” before, maybe you haven’t. Maybe it resonates with you and maybe you are thinking “What in the world is she talking about” Either way, this will be a good episode. More so than normal lately, I’m hearing the words “gut health, inflammation, heal your gut, etc” It’s not a bad thing. We all should be doing it. However, if you aren’t planning on making healthier nutrition choices, no amount of shakes, juices, drinks, or supplements is going to solve your problems. Inflammatory foods are everywhere today. Chances are you ate one for breakfast…. If you ate breakfast. While we won’t get rid of them in our daily diet (they’re too convenient) it’s important to be aware of what they are and what they are doing to our bodies. Disclaimer: I AM NOT a doctor and am NOT diagnosing you with inflammation, what I’m offering is information about inflammation. In order to work SPECIFICALLY on your issues, depending on the level of problems, I highly recommend a nutrition coach (hi that's me), registered dietician, or medical professional.

Episode 0 - Welcome To Our Weekly Health Chats

Hello, and welcome to Be Your Best Self Health Chats - weekly short conversations about taking health into your own hands. Each week we will tackle different topics in regards to nutrition, health and overall wellness. My name is Kristin Longacre. I'm a mom to two boys in two dogs. My husband and I have been married for almost 10 years. My health journey spans about the last eight years. After my oldest known as Little Man was born, I realized that he needed a mom who could keep up with him. I started paying attention to what I ate, tracked my calories and started running for the first time since I was 18. I wouldn't say I did it right. But I also didn't know any other way. Through the next 18 months, I lost 35 pounds, fell in love with running again and ultimately ran a half marathon. It wasn't until my youngest also known as B came along that I began to realize there was more to health than calories in calories out. When he was two and a half he was diagnosed with fructose malabsorption in simple terms, his body can't process certain carbs. This led me down a journey to learn more about a gluten-free, dairy-free and limited fructose lifestyle. After we got him sorted out, my eyes were open as I began to piece together some of my own health problems. In July of 2020. I decided to take a leap and enrolled in the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in their Health Coaching Program. Launching this podcast marks my official completion of the program and I now work with clients as a holistic nutrition coach. Each week we will chat about different topics. While nutrition is my main focus. I plan to bring in guests to help us dig deeper and other aspects of our health as well. Believe it or not nutrition is more than what you put on the plate in front of you. We will see you July 7 for our official launch.
