In today's episode, I'm kicking off a multi-part series on the top 10 nutrition mistakes I see when it comes to nutrition. These mistakes are the biggest reasons why people continue to struggle with creating a sustainable nutritional approach that yields positive outcomes.

In part one of the series, I go through the first two mistakes. The first is emphasizing individual ingredients or nutrients instead of overall dietary patterns. I'll cover why concentrating on something like just protein isn't sustainable for an overall healthy lifestyle. I also share findings on what toxicity really means and why looking at ingredients and the hype around them doesn't always make sense.

The second mistake I'm diving into is thinking you can earn your food via movement or exercise. This is something I was told growing up, as I'm sure you may have experienced the same information. I'll walk you through how calories are burned and much more.

Stay tuned for the next part of this series!

In today's episode, I talk about the key components of an anti-inflammatory diet and share tips on what to include and avoid in your diet to help combat inflammation.

I cover the difference between acute and chronic inflammation and the causes of both. It's our body's job to identify and attack inflammatory agents, but our diets aren't always the cause of inflammation and cannot always be the cure for chronic inflammation. This episode will guide you in creating a dietary pattern that is going to be anti-inflammatory. I dive deep with examples of components to include in your diet, like Omega-3s, fiber, and antioxidants. I also share the importance of reducing our intake of added sugar, alcohol, and deep-fried foods.

I hope this episode helps you look at nutrition in a way that is truly applicable without information overload.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about why there needs to be more to your nutritional approach than just “listening to your body.” What if your body is telling you something that isn’t accurate? What if your appetite cues are off? Does that mean you shouldn’t eat because you’re listening to your body?

Being in tune with your body is important, but it can send you subjective signals influenced by several outside variables. So many things affect our hunger hormones, like sleep and stress. Building a foundation of a balanced, nourishing, satisfying diet will help you stay on track and fuel your body well, no matter the outside variables. With the right information and experience, you can trust yourself to make nutritional decisions that are right for you instead of just trusting your body.
