In the fast paced world in which we live, with lots of eating on the run, it’s so easy to choose the first food we see and kick clean eating to the curb — a large pizza with extra cheese instead of a small one with veggies, soda instead of water, fried food instead of

This year, yours truly, The Clean Eating Coach, is trying to do a better job of pacing myself when it comes to holiday gatherings and parties. I’m notorious for overcommitting and saying yes to too many invitations, wearing myself thin because I’m constantly on the go, and then starting off the new year feeling super

Your favorite Clean Eating Coach can sometimes find herself in a clean eating pickle. Can I make clean eating dishes that are focused on the healthiest foods? You betcha, but that doesn’t mean I always eat slowly and mindfully, taking clean eating to a whole other level.

I don’t know about you but I spend more time than I’d like doing instead of simply being.
By doing I mean I’m consistently busy seeing clients, working on my business, writing, spending time with family and friends, and the many others tasks that make up life. Needless to say I love it, but sometimes even I need

A snowy day is the perfect time to relax, unwind and take care of our health (assuming it happily falls on the weekend, of course). I revel in days like this, look forward to them. I read more, rest more and love spending time in the kitchen making healthy dishes.
