There is a lot of bad diet advice out there, and while it's easy to blame diets, at the root, bad diet advice is not the problem. The proble...
If you're breathing, it's assumed you've been exposed to bad diet advice. Growing up in the '80s and '90s, I lived through what some conside...
Self-confidence doesn't exist. Only holy confidence does. I spent most of my life looking for confidence in a place it doesn't exist. I live...
The idea of discipline used to repulse me. It felt like I was forcing myself into a box I didn't choose. In many ways, discipline equated to...
It's easy to assume nutritionists don't struggle with food. But it's often the opposite. At least it has been for me. Recently, I took a ver...
I f it feels like we've been here twenty times over, asking what is good and what is bad food. While it might seem elementary, food is still...
Even after getting my nutrition degree, I spent a lot of time thinking that health was a to-do list. I believed health was the product of wh...

The rain was pounding on my window to the same degree that tears were streaming down my face. I had just left a counseling session talking t...
