Bittersweet



 I placed 7th at nationals,  I feel a little bittersweet about it, I was the sickest I have ever been, and grateful for this moment this is what drove me to find a new solution! I did NOT want to be that coach to do what was taught to me to others., I struggled for years after with severe metabolic "damage". My hormones were shot and my thyroid is permanently damaged now.  Today I however am the healthiest I have ever been. I am able to teach client how to live a sustainable healthy lifestyle, how to diet and how NOT to diet....Through Reverse dieting and flexible dieting, I have been able to live a life that I never thought possible. Today I am leaner, stronger, and healthier woman, I never thought I could be free of the obsessive compulsive racket that lived in my head.

If you're eating a restricted diet, wow, I have lived that life, am it may work the first time but boy does it backfire. The chicken or fish with asparagus and rice, I have lived it.... If you can't see yourself on the "diet you're currently on in 6 months from now, you will regain the weight, and every time you do that YO YO you damage or you metabolism adapts to your current lifestyle and caloric intake.. So now that is your new set point!  So you can either do more cardio or eat less right.. WRONG... for how long till you  hurt yourself, that's what I did... there is another way but it takes work. And I would encourage you to do it with a coach that has walked in your shoes.

Diet's don't work, find a lifestyle that works for you..that you can maintain. If you don't have the tools find someone that does and that you can trust, someone that  listens to YOUR NEEDS and has your health first and foremost there main concern.

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is indigestible and passes through our digestive system largely intact. Although it does not provide energy, it has been found to be associated with many chronic health diseases that we are facing today. In this blog post, we will delve into the importance of adequate fiber intake and why it is considered a superfood. 1. What is Fiber, and Why is it Important? Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. There are two types of fiber—soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and can bind with fatty substances, while insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water and adds bulk to the stool. Both types of fiber are essential in maintai...

The Link Between Constipation and Semaglutide Use in Patients with Overweight or Obesity

  The Link Between Constipation and Semaglutide Use in Patients with Overweight or Obesity Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has been heralded as a game-changer in the management of obesity. While its efficacy in promoting weight loss is well-documented, there is an emerging conversation within the medical community about its gastrointestinal side effects, particularly constipation. This article aims to provide health professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the evidence linking semaglutide to constipation and its implications on gut health. Understanding Semaglutide Semaglutide is a once-weekly injectable medication that mimics the functions of the natural hormone GLP-1. It works by enhancing insulin secretion, inhibiting glucagon release, and slowing gastric emptying. These mechanisms collectively contribute to appetite suppression and significant weight loss. However, the slowing of gastric emptying can also lead to gastrointestinal disc...
