{HMW} Unlock your brain's natural portion control system

Dear Reader, Have you noticed how the first few bites of chocolate cake taste absolutely incredible, but by bite ten, it's lost some of its appeal? This phenomenon, called sensory specific satiety, is your brain's natural way of encouraging dietary variety. Your taste buds literally become fatigued by the same flavor, creating a natural stopping point—if you're conscious and aware. This biological mechanism evolved to ensure we consumed a range of nutrients rather than filling up on just one...

Dear Reader, I'm excited to announce the launch of my new "pay-what-you-can" shop on Kit!

{HMW} How Food Industry Marketing Is Keeping You From Being Healthy

Dear Reader, Ever taken a bite of something you've been eagerly anticipating, only to realize it doesn't taste that good – yet you keep eating it anyway? That's not just a coincidence. It's by design. Food industry marketing has mastered the art of creating a false scarcity mindset around food, making us believe we need to consume their products regardless of how they actually taste or make us feel. Research shows we'll continue eating simply because food is in front of us – like moviegoers...

The scale became my judge and jury, stripping away my sense of intuition and body trust. But here's what I've learned after years of coaching clients through their own relationships with food and body: the scale tells an incredibly limited story. It doesn't know about...

Dear Reader, Our bodies communicate hunger through a sophisticated network of hormonal and neural signals that extend far beyond the obvious stomach growl. Research shows that these signals operate on a spectrum unique to each person - influenced by our nervous system state, hormonal fluctuations, sleep quality, and even our personal history with food restriction. When we're chronically stressed, our interoceptive awareness- the ability to accurately perceive internal bodily...
