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.

The Magic of Tryptophan

  The Magic of Tryptophan Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, is widely known for its role in protein synthesis and as a precursor to serotonin—a neurotransmitter linked to mood regulation and sleep. However, its functions extend far beyond these commonly recognized roles. Recent studies uncover the fascinating involvement of tryptophan in gut health, particularly how gut microbes metabolize tryptophan into compounds that profoundly influence gastrointestinal (GI) function and overall well-being. This article explores the complex interactions of tryptophan in the gut, supported by cutting-edge research. Tryptophan’s "magic" truly begins in the gut, where it undergoes metabolic transformations that result in the production of bioactive compounds such as indole and tryptamine. These compounds, produced by gut microbial enzymes, act as pivotal intermediates influencing GI motility, intestinal secretion, and even immune responses. The gut enzyme tryptophanase, expressed by a var...

The Benefits of Akkermansia for Gut Health and Beyond

The Benefits of Akkermansia for Gut Health and Beyond Akkermansia muciniphila, a name that might sound unfamiliar to many, is a bacterium residing in the human gut that has started to gain recognition in the field of health and nutrition. This bacterium, part of the Verrucomicrobia phylum, plays a pivotal role in maintaining the mucosal lining of the gut, impacting metabolic health, diabetes management, and weight regulation. For nutrition enthusiasts and health professionals, understanding the benefits of Akkermansia can open new doors to optimized gut health and overall wellness. Akkermansia muciniphila is a gram-negative, obligate anaerobic bacterium that specializes in degrading mucin, a component of the mucus lining of the gut. This unique ability positions Akkermansia as a crucial player in maintaining the integrity of the mucosal barrier. According to Cani (2017), the gut microbiota lies at the intersection of various physiological processes, and Akkermansia’s role is no exc...

The Power of Fiber in Your Diet

  The Power of Fiber in Your Diet Introduction In the realm of health and wellness, fiber often assumes the role of the unsung hero. While vitamins and minerals frequently steal the spotlight, dietary fiber quietly performs its vital functions. From managing blood sugar levels to supporting digestive health, the benefits of fiber are manifold. For health enthusiasts and those keen on optimizing their gut health, understanding the different types of fiber and their specific benefits is crucial. What is Dietary Fiber? Dietary fiber, also known as roughage, is the part of plant foods that our bodies cannot digest. Unlike fats, proteins, or carbohydrates, which our bodies break down and absorb, fiber passes relatively intact through our stomach, small intestine, and colon and out of our body. It is primarily classified into two types based on its solubility in water: soluble and insoluble fiber. Each type offers unique benefits and plays different roles in maintaining our overall healt...
