10 tips for an easy fast (and the ultimate fasting secret)
It's not a turnipI don’t fast for religious purposes but I have many religious and semi-religious clients who fast on Yom Kippur. We've been known to suggest non-religious lent so there’s no reason why everyone can't fast or atone. If you do, some...
Foodtrainers’ Fall Collection
We’re sure that you have a long attention span, but we don't. We especially don’t when it comes to what we’re eating. Some might call it fickle, we like “keepin’ it fresh” a little better. If you’re craving some food newness, check out our fall favorites....
When it comes to kids and weight, is it always best to shut your mouth?
In the time I’ve been practicing nutrition I’ve become a mother twice (three times if we count Bronco). I’ve seen clients have children and younger children grow up. I’ve had clients refer their parents to me and of course parents “urge” children, of all different...
Our best Squeeze program yet and fave new ingredient
Oh structure we missed you so. We are midway though our Foodtrainers’ September Squeeze fall reset weeks. Week 1, led by Lauren, concluded Sunday and week 2, my week, is off and running (shout out to our Squeeze achievers doing both weeks). We design a new...
Cashew Addiction Explained
Assume there are 100 cashews here. Assume that's a portion. You can binge on anything. Once when I told a client “you will not overeat on chicken” she swiftly corrected me, “I eat a whole chicken Lauren…well except for the insides and bones.” Interesting. And one...
I was a meditation faillure until this
Meditation stresses me out. While I’m fully on board with all meditation can do for me, I couldn’t find a way to work it into my life. Some people meditate first thing in the morning. That’s great but I like to write at that time. Others suggest meditating...
I’m not a hugger (and how this can help you)
Call her my girl crush, idol or obsession; whichever word you use- I love Nora Ephron. I love her writing and movies, how much she loved NYC and, most importantly, her feelings about egg white omelets. I admire her so much I felt “bad about my neck” years before I...

Foodtrainers' Summer Finds and winning smoothie recipe
Greetings from Vegas! I have to admit, it's a little strange to be here, of all places, when we open up the sign up for our September Squeeze program (a few spots remain). In today's newsletter we mentioned our "work"trip to the wild blueberry barrens of Maine. In Bar...
Summer Lovin’
There’s a lot to love about summer; trust us, we are expert summer-ers (and we don’t mean “summer” in that snooty way). Less work, more play, sunshine, indulging, and traveling all have their place. However, if you’re anything like our clients, all this awesomeness...
The Horoscope Diet
Do you ever read your horoscope and feel it rings eerily true? Maybe you don't read horoscopes at all but, even if you say that, I'd guess when you see yours you peek. Horoscopes are confusing for me. I'm what they call "on the cusp" between two signs. This makes me...
Healthy, hip Dallas
Dallas…I can still hum the theme song to my first, lowbrow TV obsession. More recently, this season’s Bachelorette Jojo (finale tonight) hails from Dallas. There’s the Dallas Cowboys oh and some videotape I recall floating around our house (ahem) when I was growing...
