• anxiety about maintaining weight loss, body goals and living a fulfilled life, non scale body changes
    May 29 2024

    In this week's episode, I'll be discussing an open house we went to, my indecisiveness about our next steps—whether to move, not move, or renovate our current condo—Lastly, I'll address a common concern among many women: anxiety about maintaining weight loss. Plus, I'll be answering your questions!

    Q: How do I balance having fun, while also wanting to be healthier and look better?
    Q: you mentioned having a ninja creami, do you have any favourite Ninja Creami recipes?
    Q: In a calorie deficit and have gotten pretty lean but still looking to tweak a bit more for personal goals. The number on the scale isn’t moving much, can composition still be changing with no scale drop?
    Q: I’m feeling disconnected from training. I’m going through the motions, but life is busier and more stressful the last few months, any tips to connect with it again.
    Q: Can you eat more for calories "burned"? If I usually walk 10k steps, but have a day when I walk 20k steps, can I eat more and still stay in a deficit or maintenance?

  • fat loss "hacks," cognitive restraint vs. restriction, supporting family health, calorie comparisons, and more!
    May 15 2024

    In this week's episode, I'm recapping my weekend in Victoria, discussing a few things I'm currently into, such as the Canucks, the Kendrick and Drake beef, and Kevin Hart's Mark Twain Award on Netflix. Plus, I'll be answering your questions!
    Q: Do you have any deficit tricks other than high protein and high fibre?

    Q: My friend and I workout together, we are close to the same height and same weight, at least our bodies look similar, however I feel like she can eat so much more than me, am I doing something wrong?

    Q: Any tips for helping a family member whose health is declining get healthier without sounding like an asshole??

    Q: In a deficit, keeping protein high, eating 85% of my BW in g of protein *(160g). Did an in body scan this week and most of what I’ve lost so far is fat but I’m also losing muscle (0.8lb). Last cut I lost mostly muscle and BF% went up! Lifting 5 days/wk, going to failure. Should I increase protein?

    Q: I often struggle with balancing my desire for immediate pleasure from food with my long-term health goals. How can I develop better mindful food choices that prioritize my overall well-being?

  • dining out with dietary restrictions, top 3 lower body exercises, comedy etiquette, DEXA results
    Apr 10 2024

    In this week's episode, I'm talking about a big spring clean we did on the weekend, how to behave at a comedy show (and how not to), my DEXA body scan results, and answering your questions:

    1. Totally Hypothetical- Full Body program but you can only pick 3 exercises to repeat every workout, which 3 would you choose?
    2. Top 3 lower body exercises to prioritize? I always want to skip leg day.
    3. Best methods to keep track of routine for movement to make sure you get it all in over the week?
    4. I always feel like a nuisance when I eat out because I eat gluten-free and lactose-free, plus and I’m allergic to shell fish! How do you eat out and not feel like a pain in the ass?
    5. Can you give us an update on your interior design project?
