  • EP 38: Why I'm Getting My Fertility Tested and Why You Should Too

    EP 38: Why I'm Getting My Fertility Tested and Why You Should Too
    Aug 17 2024

    In today's episode I am breaking down how your fertility works, how it declines over time, the factors that impact fertility, why and how I'm getting my fertility tested, what I'll do if my results aren't what I'm hoping and much more!

    Since starting my career in women’s health and fertility, my stance on fertility testing and family planning has completely changed. The fact of the matter is that we are struggling with infertility as a society more than ever before. Working every day with women and couples who are on their fertility journey has had a life changing impact on my perspective and now, my personal decisions.

    Currently, as many as 1 in 5 women will struggle with infertility and sperm counts in western countries have fallen over 50% within the past 50 years. These statistics are not something to take lightly, especially if you’re like me and know you want a family someday.

  • EP 37: How to Stop Hating Your Body and Feeling so Insecure on Your Fitness Journey

    EP 37: How to Stop Hating Your Body and Feeling so Insecure on Your Fitness Journey
    Aug 4 2024
    It is your birthright to feel amazing in your body. You deserve to feel strong, sexy, confident, proud and comfortable in the way that you look. The problem is, most of us are not there. We feel ugly, unattractive, too fat, too skinny, too jiggly, our butt is too small, we have tummy roles and cellulite, our clothes don't fit right, the list goes on and on AND ON. So, we turn to fitness, which isn't inherently a problem on it's own. But, it becomes one (a very big one), when we approach changing our bodies and working out from a place of self-hatred, disgust and unhappiness. You want to lose weight? Great. You want to build muscle? Amazing. You reserve the right to change your body in whatever way you please that makes you feel more confident. BUT, you CANNOT beat yourself and body up to get there. We are approaching health and fitness ALL WRONG and it's causing us to have body dysmorphia, disordered eating patterns, constant anxiety, major insecurities and honestly, is just leaving us feeling miserable. In this episode I am laying down the law when it comes to your mindset and relationship to your body while you are working towards your fitness goals. Expect to learn how to approach your fitness journey and working out in a way that makes you feel way happier in your body, less obsessive about food and what you look like, have better balance when it comes to meeting your goals and still having flexibility, why you can't trust social media influencers, concrete steps to build a healthier relationship to food and a stronger body image, and much more.

    EP 36: The Top Mistakes You're Making on Your Fat Loss Journey
    Jul 18 2024

    Wanting to lose weight is NOT a bad thing. You deserve to feel confident, sexy and amazing in your body, but, you CANNOT beat yourself up to get there. It's not okay to starve yourself, restrict yourself, become obsessed with food or working out and feel like your self-worth comes from what your body looks like.

    In this week's episode we are diving into the top mistakes you're probably making if you've been trying to lose body fat, look "toned" and tighten things up. I break down why these mistakes are so common, why we gravitate towards things that genuinely don't work long term, and what to do instead to feel amazing throughout the process of building a body you feel fabulous in.
