  • Eat the Cake And Live Well
    Jul 16 2024

    Many people are confused about what healthy eating means.

    A lot of people associate “healthy eating” with losing weight, cutting out all carbs or gluten or dairy or another restriction, and ultimately depriving themselves of any food they enjoy.

    🥘🍲🍹🍹🥂But the truth is, healthy eating is about enjoying the special moments in life so that you can celebrate with others. The goal of healthy eating is to give your body the variety of nutrients it needs to feel good, have energy, and maintain its proper functioning.

    🌿🌿🌿In this episode we'll explore why restrictive eating is not good for us and you will learn tips I apply myself and give to my clients when it comes to eating healthy without feeling deprived.

  • Beyond the Scale: Understanding Body Composition
    Jun 27 2024

    Body composition is a useful tool to evaluate your metabolic health by understanding the breakdown of body into its core components: fat, protein, minerals, and body water.

    The scale and Body Mass Index which are more traditional ways to measure health, won’t tell you how much of your body is made up of fat and muscle mass. But assessing body composition can help you find that.

    In this episode, I'll share my body composition analysis results and what I learned from them.

    We will take a deep dive into:

    What are some ways to measure metabolic health?

    Why weight and BMI are not the best way to get an insight into your metabolic health?

    Why your weight fluctuates?

    What is body compoisition analysis and how it can help?

    Different types of fat in our body?

    Most common body composition tests?

    How to improve your body composition?

    You can find the healthy body fat percentage chart for men and women linked here-
