• The Nutrition Knowledge We Really Need, No Diets, Just the Basics with Katie Hammill, RD
    Nov 22 2024

    Today we are joined by Katie Hammil, Katie is a registered dietitian, her dietary philosophy is steeped in science and years of education and learning through her own experiences and those of her clients. She truly believes that there is no one universal style of eating that we should all follow. She wants to help people become more confident in how to feed themselves and their families.

    Katie’s here to help us break down food, how we can adopt a simplified approach to how we eat to give our body more of what it needs rather than taking a restrictive approach that makes us feel like we need to eliminate. She’ll talk with us about not cutting foods out, rather starting where something is missing. Katie has followed all of the trends and has watched the research unfold to show what is and isn’t best for all of our bodies. And I’ll give a little spoiler alert here: In the long run, eating in the basic way she is going to outline is our best method for health and longevity. We’ll talk about to let go of the judgments of what we don’t know about this stuff and how to stop judging foods, to instead slowly build an understanding of what works for our body… Our body that is different than our bestfriends, different than our husbands, our daughters and what that means for us in meeting our own needs.

  • What we were and were not taught about nutrition and how to eat
    Nov 20 2024

    Today, we are talking about how we eat… About the nutrition education most of us have never gotten. The confusing messages we’ve received and where to go from here. Did you know that most people aren't able to accurately assess the quality of their diet? That most people think they are doing great when that might not be the case? So let's see if we can close the gap. Later this week we’ll have Katie Hammill on to talk to us about nutrition. What we need to know, how to find our way through the maze of information out there to get to what’s really important and at the end of the day, to feel good about food.

    In this episode Ashley will walk you through questions to assess where you are when it comes to nutrition. Grab a pen and paper:)

Her journey is one that many will relate to, when "best practices" go to far and suddenly you're left feeling like it's never enough. Learn how she moved away from tracking, counting and over-doing to find her way back to herself, to intutive eating, and back to the forms of movement that actually support her. We also touch on kids, how we can approach food and eating with them to prevent disordered eating patterns, food anxiety and fear. More on this in episodes to come...

  • Movement For Mood: Shifting the Paradigm on Exercise
    Nov 13 2024

    Join Ashley to examine how shifting our relationship with exercise can free us. How to develop a new way of thinking about movement that might just free you of some long held patterns and blocks that might be weighing you down or causing you to beat yourself up.

    Research has shown that movement is as effective as antidepressant medication in improving mood. It can counteract stress, regulate our metabolism and our sleep. It can boost our learning, memory, and attention. It's about more than weight loss.

Cait is an author, a speaker and share so much for us all not only here today, but in her podcast “Fried, the burnout podcast”. She bridges the gap between east and west, bringing the knowledge of her training in chinese medicine to her study of 40 years worth of burnout research to help us understand what most are missing when they think of burn out. We’ll explore hyper-independence, resentment and self-neglect. How our brain is affected and how we can actually grow our brain through interoception, which we’ll break down for you.

  • Where Is Your Energy Going? The Patterns That Burn Us Out
    Nov 5 2024

    Today, we are going to take life scan. A self-check to see where you are at in managing your energy, what your got to give each day and what feels like it is burning you out… Because we all feel this a little, don't we? Those things in our lives that take more than they give. Moments when we feel like we are running on fumes, our tanks empty.

    We’re going to assess where your time and energy are going on the obvious and less obvious levels. Where you WANT it to go and WHERE you would like to be spending less of it. We’ll look at what’s in your control, lovingly acknowledging that which is not so we can focus where we see possibility.

    We’re talking about an exercise in zooming out and looking back to see where some of these things really started… The patterns in relationships, in the way we work, in the way we live that put us out of balance, that spread us thin, and what we can do to start to reset and change that.

    Interested in an Individualized Retreat? Email me and let's get to dreaming up your weekend together. ashley@ashleymchan.com
