Tracking food is a conversation that always ends up in the conversation when it comes to nutritional goals. Calories, protein, carbs, fats…all those fun numbers. Important for sure but can either give you useful information or make eating feel like you’re solving a math problem for the day. So do you need to track everything…

You’ve worked toward losing the weight, hopefully built some better habits along the way, and maybe you’re finally getting to a place where you’re happy with the progress you’ve made. Awesome…now what? There’s a lot of time spent talking about losing weight that maintenance almost never sees the light of day. Lose the weight first…

There’s a lot of decisions you can make when it comes to working out, so how do you know if you’re actually making the right decisions? I don’t think the answer is whether every workout went perfectly, because I can promise you they won’t. I’d rather look at whether the decisions you’re making have a…

Throughout these articles I’ve talked a lot about resistance training, movement, and overall staying active while losing weight and/or taking a GLP-1. That’s easy if you already enjoy working out, but what if exercise has just never really been your thing? I get it. Honestly I have periods of time where I myself even start…

If you’re taking a GLP-1 and either already are working out or thinking about starting, you might be wondering if your workouts need to change too. Do you need to lift differently? Should you do more cardio? Train fewer days? Is there some specific workout that’s better for people taking a GLP-1? Actually, not entirely.…

You’ve been losing weight, making changes to your nutrition, maybe exercising more, and doing all the things that are supposed to help you feel better. So why are there days where you just feel tired? If you’re taking a GLP-1 and noticing changes in your energy, I don’t want you to immediately assume there’s one…

You put time aside to workout. You show up, put the effort in, and you know what you’re trying to accomplish while you’re there. Maybe you want to get stronger, build muscle, improve your performance, lose body fat, or simply feel better. But what happens when the workout is over? It’s very easy to look…

It’s pre tty straight forward looking at how GLP-1s can be helpful for weight loss since you’re not going to be as hungry as you used to be. You’re eating less, getting full faster, and maybe for the first time in a while food isn’t taking up as much space in your head throughout the…

If you’re starting a GLP-1, seeing the scale begin to move can create a lot of motivation and hype. This same confidence tends to be transferred to change other parts of your lifestyle too.

At some point in almost every fitness or weight loss journey, something that was working really well just doesn’t seem to be working the same anymore.
