How to Break Free from Your Food-Obsessed Thoughts
When people come to me to lose weight, they aren’t really just trying to lose weight. Whether it’s five pounds or 50, my clients are struggling the most with their thoughts — about food. It’s like they’re in a kind of prison, thinking ALL THE TIME about food. Do you...
Letting go of your “identity” to be your true self
It was a moment of truth. Starting with a lot of fear, but quickly followed by a moment of lightness. A moment of freedom. I could feel the stress radiating off of me. My body was so tense that I was gripping my coffee cup in the Santa Barbara café to the point my...
5 Lessons Learned from Living in Bali
There’s so much on my heart from my recent month in Bali. Every trip I take and adventure I go on is unique, but this one was extra special, because it was the complete opposite of what I’d expected, and incredibly challenging for me. I expected this trip to be...

Based on numerous requests from you (my loyal followers!) I’ve put together a recap of my 2 weeks in Maui. This is basically a (super thorough!) review of everything: from where I stayed and what I did, to places I ate, what I liked, didn’t like...and more. Before we...
Why I don’t need luck to help you lose weight (and neither do you)
My new clients share a lot of the same concerns. They want to lose weight. They want to have more energy and more body confidence. They want to feel really good about their lives again (or for the first time!). And what’s so interesting is that these clients will...
Romancing the Spoon: Show yourself some love with these 5 foods
While I love romance as much as the next girl, the fact is that Valentine’s Day can be pretty in-your-face if you happen to not be in a steamy romantic relationship (especially if you wish you were). As a result, too many of us end up eating our feelings—worry,...
Why I kissed my dietitian license goodbye
The day I earned my certification as a Licensed Dietitian was one of the most important days of my career. I was SO proud: I’d studied hard, followed the rules, and earned the esteemed “L.D.” Becoming a dietitian took a lot of work. In my class, only 50% of the...
Why It’s Time to Break the Food Rules
Anyone who’s ever tried to lose weight, and struggled to do it, has asked themselves one question: “What am I doing wrong?” You might assume, as I have, that there’s some set of rules you either don’t know about or aren’t complying with—and THAT must be the reason. So...
