The Perfect Dairy Free Matcha

Uncategorised

17 Jun

It’s been some time since I’ve posted, I know! I’ve had a few things going on so let me give you the low-down before I share this matcha recipe. The biggest news is that I passed my nutrition exam. I wrote it in early December and I got the call about a month ago. I’ve been pretty low key about…

Roasted Grape & Goat Cheese Crostini

1 Jun

This is just the easiest appetizer recipe to have waiting for your guests. It’s also a crowd pleaser since it looks like you just spent your afternoon fancying this recipe up (but you didn’t)! On the very odd chance I eat cheese, I always choose a raw cheese OR goat cheese. For many who have a hard time digesting cheese,…

My Journey With Anxiety

Uncategorised

24 May

I’m not sure why it has taken me so long to write a post specifically on my journey with anxiety. I actually reference it in a lot of my posts and I tell some bits and pieces of the story along the way.   I think it could be part embarrassment or shame for me to tell the story since…

Mentally Exhausted? Why Supplementing Is Important!

Uncategorised

24 May

I want to tell you a quick little story that continues to come up for me as I work with women both in my nutrition practice but even in my daily job. And, it’s all about the importance of supplementing, especially if we’re feeling mentally exhausted or even restless for that matter. I just finished working with a woman who…

Let’s not over complicate this sh*t shall we?!?! Let’s not over complicate this sh*t shall we?!?!

Save this for the days when your protein goal is looking a little… ambitious. 👀

I was listening to a podcast recently talking abou I was listening to a podcast recently talking about why women in the 40’s and beyond need to stop thinking they need to be smaller. But rather thinking about something strength to carry them through the next phase of life.

Then, almost immediately, I overheard a woman talking about how frustrated she was because the scale wasn’t moving—if anything, it was going up.

And honestly? I get it.

I still catch myself getting wrapped up in the number sometimes.

But what I’ve learned is that when I follow a solid plan, fuel my body properly and consistently strength train, I get stronger. I sleep better. My energy is higher. And, truthfully, I really like the shape of my stronger body.

Maybe the goal isn’t to keep chasing a smaller version of ourselves.

Maybe it’s to build a body that can carry us through the next 40 years feeling strong, energized and confident.

And yes, we can still want to look our best. We just don’t have to make smaller the definition of better.

Who’s coming to this side with me?

Trying the viral HB high-protein pizza 🍕 Okay… I Trying the viral HB high-protein pizza 🍕

Okay… I get the hype. An easy way to add more protein while still enjoying pizza.

For the crust:
• ¼ cup cottage cheese
• ⅓ cup egg whites
• ⅓ cup flour
• 1½ tbsp coconut flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp oregano
• Pinch of salt

How to make it:

1. Mix all the crust ingredients together until combined.
2. Spread onto parchment paper into a thin, even crust.
3. Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes.
4. Remove and add your pizza sauce, cheese and favourite toppings.
5. Bake for another 10+ minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is cooked through.

🍕 Nutritionist verdict: Easy, high-protein and actually feels like pizza. No sad “diet food” vibes here.

Save this for your next pizza night!

5 things I wish I knew when I started strength tra 5 things I wish I knew when I started strength training at 40:

1️⃣ Follow a plan. This is key to see results.
2️⃣ Progressive overload > randomly lifting heavy.
3️⃣ Eat after your workout — protein + carbs.
4️⃣ Recovery is part of the workout. I take 2-3 “active” rest days. 
5️⃣ Consistency. If you’re just starting out, start with 2 days & master that!

Your 40s are a pretty great time to start building the strongest version of you.
