Starbucks new plant-based sugar bomb
My inbox was buzzing with Starbucks news. Starbucks, it seems, launched blended plant-based, protein, coffee drinks. I have yet to try these drinks, for reasons enumerated below, but I hear they are a blend of coffee, rice and pea proteins and nut milk. One flavor...
If dinner is your largest meal, are you screwed?
Our tagline is “we’re not going to make you change your lifestyle to fit our food plans our food plans will fit your lifestyle” It’s on our homepage something I take seriously. After all, I have a lifestyle (travelstyle, cocktailstyle) too. With that being said, we...
How many carbs is too many
I had the first follow-up session with a client yesterday. In our initial meeting, I learned that this client already exercised, took a nice assortment of supplements and was already going to great lengths, successfully, to be healthy. His problem was he wasn’t losing...
Fake is real and real is fake
The world is fucked up. I’m not talking politics. Last night, we had dinner at Catch, here in LA. We’re traveling with 2 teens so some of the hip and cool scene-y places we’ve been to are not what Marc and I would choose on our own. Anyway, the entrance to this...
How to Make the Perfect Smoothie
I have been a smoothie lover for a long time. My smoothie love started with Angel Food Cake at Smoothie King in New Orleans, when I was in college (don’t judge, it was better than froyo). It was a strawberry, banana mixture with a little vanilla. I’m not really sure...

Foodtrainers’ Healthy Austin, TX Guide
Lauren and I hit Austin TX for the PaleoFX conference last month. We have gotten expert-level at exploring new(ish) cities together (or apart - see London, Nashville), and it doesn’t hurt that we both love all things tex-mex. Austin is the coolest – from avocado...
We’re all fucked up and that’s ok
I love the book/ platform I Quit Sugar*. Sarah Wilson, who wrote the books, has built quite a brand. I don’t know Sarah personally (I guest posted for them when my book came out) but she always seemed like a badass with a great sense of humor. She bikes to work, in...
I’m worried I’m going to blow it over the summer!
I could never be a wellness expert without one-on-one nutrition sessions. In these sessions, I hear what clients are curious about and also what concerns them. At certain times of the year, we could all pretty much have one group session, as the subject matter is so...
Should I brag more?
Today is Day 1 of our pre-summer Squeeze week. Every day of the Squeeze participants receive a tip of the day. Today’s tip focused on affirmations. We asked everyone to complete the sentence I am __________. Our parameters were that it should be something positive but...
How to avoid eating your feelings
I just had a session with a longtime client. She recapped a couple of weeks where her stress was unusually high, higher than the family/work juggle many of us attempt. After she summarized what had been happening, I agreed with her, “that’s a lot, I totally get it.”...
Healthier in the Bedroom
It’s been almost a month in our new apartment. If you’re on Insta, you may recall the move was emotional for me. Our kids grew up in the old apartment and we had renovated every inch of it ourselves. What’s strange is that the second we moved, I was fine. It’s as...
