Quick Easy Results. 

But the reality is, most fad diets punish your body and put you in a cycle of short term results that you won't be able to sustain.  At the same time, they can increase your feelings of guilt and insecurities.  

Instead of depending on the latest weight loss trends and fads, look for sustainable plans that align with your long term goals and promote a healthy lifestyle.

The "Why" Behind Health

Sometimes our health goals can be centered around our trauma or experiences we had that made us feel "less than" because of our weight.   

But when you discover a "why" behind your health journey that is completely connected to you, the ups and downs become more bearable. Not only that, you remove anxiety and a constant sense of failure because you aren't pursuing approval or acceptance from anyone else.   

Your journey of health (physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental) should be all about you. Asking yourself "why" will help you understand your motives and it will fill your journey with greater self awareness and growth that surpasses any number on the scale or dress size.

Back to the Basics

Maybe we don't need another program, another pill, another jump start, another expert.   

Maybe we need to learn the voice of our own bodies.   

We've made this journey really complicated. Perhaps the answer is in the basics. 

So, we talk about what getting back to the basics looks like for us.   

What does getting back to the basics look life for you?

Disordered Eating and Emotions

Food is an addiction, especially when it's used to mask something in our lives or when we use it as a way to avoid our emotions. Amy knows firsthand the damage this can cause after struggling with bulimia for 10 years.   

In this episode, we dive into some stories about how Amy's eating disorder began and what finally started to help her overcome her addiction to food. If you've ever struggled with emotional eating or an eating disorder, let us know how you are dealing with it in the comments below.

You Belong

When you are on a health journey, there are times when you will feel inadequate to your "healthier" counterparts. This can happen when you go to the gym, buy clothes, eat out at a restaurant, etc. In this episode, we talk specifically about the insecurities of walking into a gym and how to overcome those.   

Because it doesn't matter where you are on your health journey, you belong.

Build Your Health Community

It's hard to go it alone, especially on your health journey. So, how do you go about building your ideal community that supports and encourages you along the way? That's what we dive into on this episode.

Also, you get a sneak peak into our weekly health calls and we give you some ideas on how to build your community. You don't have to do this alone. It's hard and can be overwhelming at times. So, recruit people to join you on improving your health and wellness. It's so much more fun when you do it with people you love!
