We tend to trust everything that goes on in our minds as absolute truth, but that’s far from accurate. But sometimes the brain is a sneaky little bitch and needs to be checked. Not that it’s doing it to purposely deceive you, but sometimes there is a programing error that glitches in that noggin of yours. If you can’t trust that brain of yours then what can you trust? Not so quick there. Our brains can be trusted a majority of the time because they are beautifully designed to

People like to 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘴, and diet is no exception. We know that chronically overeating shortens lifespan, so therefore

When people hurt us our first instinctual response is fuck you to the moon and back type of rage. We’ve all been there, and not reacting and taking personal offense to the pain inflicted is undeniably fucking hard.

My brain just goes on autopilot and a force comes over me. It’s really beautiful how the mind attempts to protect us from hurt and pain. But check this: the exact methods our brain uses to numb out, cause more pain long term — all in an attempt to reduce immediate pain. I don’t know about you, but I’m

“My life has been filled with terrible misfortunes, most of which have never happened.” Mark Twain Do you often predict the worst? You know... act as if you're a fortune teller? One of the best gifts I have ever given myself is working on reducing my negative thought patterns. I was naturally very pessimistic due to my environmental conditioning. You know being surrounded by a bunch of assholes who like to point out everything wrong in life. So my automatic negative thoughts

So I encourage you to change your perception of stress from being something to run from and something that is all ‘bad’ — to one of radical acceptance of what is

Each and every one of my weight loss clients is a fundamentally unique human—that requires a personalized approach. The “one-size-fits-all” strategy that almost every fitness and nutrition guru has been preaching for years, has clearly failed most, if not all of us. The eat less, exercise more bullshit is indeed accurate at a myopic level, but far too simplistic. We are not machines. We have brains, emotions, beliefs, and experiences that shape our outcomes.
