It's a scenario I often encounter: individuals feeling like they've tried everything under the sun, yet still not seeing the results they desire. Whether it's struggling to stick to a new diet or feeling frustrated by a lack of progress, it can be incredibly disheartening. But fear not, because in today's episode (and continuing into part 2) I'm unpacking 10 possible reasons why you might be hitting roadblocks and what you can do about it.

Today I have a fun and casual chat with my friend Cat Buck Le, StrongFirst Elite Kettlebell Coach and meal prep maven. We talk about the importance of meal prep and share our go-to strategies for streamlining the process and making it more enjoyable and less stressful. We also share easy ways to get more veggies and add flavor and variety to your meals without buying a ton of ingredients for different recipes. By putting a little planning and effort into food prep, you can improve your nutrition, body composition, and overall health, while also saving time and money.

In this episode of the Nutrition Edit Podcast, I tackle the pervasive issue of the all-or-nothing mentality, particularly prevalent among high-performing women striving for perfection in their health and personal lives. While this perfectionistic approach may be effective to some degree in the workplace, it is detrimental when it comes to health and wellness. I’ll share some practical ways to overcome this mentality and achieve a more balanced, sustainable, and enjoyable approach to making lifestyle changes.

This episode is a heartfelt reflection on my personal health journey, having faced illness three times this winter. I realized that self-care isn't just about the work we love; it's about managing the stress from life's unexpected challenges. I discuss the common misconceptions about health, particularly the idea that being healthy means restriction, and that weight loss is the ultimate goal. Instead, I advocate for a shift in perspective: viewing nutritious food and exercise as forms of self-respect and self-compassion. It's about supporting your body to return to balance, rather than forcing it to conform to unrealistic standards.

In this episode, I reflect on the perception of time and how it relates to pursuing your health and fitness goals. It’s important to be patient and stay consistent on your health journey and understand that progress doesn’t happen overnight but it does happen by having the right knowledge and support.

In this episode, I’m sharing some tips for making good food choices when eating out or traveling, especially during holidays and vacations. Making “good enough” choices when you’re out of your routine and normal environment will help you avoid going completely off the rails without feeling deprived. 

Today's show is an "ask me anything" episode where I address some of the most common questions and concerns I've gotten from clients lately including: Intermittent fasting for women, carbonated water vs plain water, why good food is an investment in your health & beauty, and breaking free from an all-or-nothing mindset.
