• Loved being on the @iamwellandgood panel earlier this week with @drmarkhyman @laurentoyota and @melissejoy. We spent the evening talking about how food is a modulator of our biochemistry and genes and why learning to cook is one of the greatest health gifts you can give yourself. #foodcoachnyc #cooking #simplerecipes. #wellandgoodcookbook

  • WORDS OF WISDOM: The above quote is an excerpt from the new interview I did with @beautyandwb . I sat down with Clemence Von Mueffling to discuss my food philosophy, what I really think of food trends (it's more about a variety for the nutrients than any specific food) and my beating jet lag secrets. It's a fun article that I hope you'll enjoy. Link in my bio to read more!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ***⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣#foodcoachnyc #beautyandwellbeing ⁣

  • PODCAST: So excited to share this interview with you on @drmarkhyman ‘s Broken Brain podcast. I sat down with my dear friend @dhrupurohit to talk about how the mind shapes your physical body. We discuss how woefully inadequate the “calories in, calories out” model is, and why hormones, sleep, inflammation, the gut microbiome, suppressed emotions and genes have much more influence over the ability to lose weight and keep it off. We also dive into my four female archetypes to help you understand why those bad habits are so difficult to break and what to do about it! It’s not what you think and it certainly isn’t about increasing your willpower!⁣ ⁣ ***⁣ Thank you for having me @drmarkhyman and @dhrupurohit !

  • RECIPE: In honor of Earth Day, I have partnered with @tataharperskincare to create a delicious lemon sole recipe with parsley, dill, citrus and new potatoes, to help draw attention to sustainable fishing practices. Lemon sole is a flakey, delicate white fish that even the fussiest of fish eaters enjoy and is also a sustainable fish choice. When you choose sustainable seafood, you are helping to preserve the habitats in which the fish grow and not drain the oceans of wild fish. You can find the recipe on @tataharperskincare blog and the link is in my bio! *** PS: @tataharperskincare is a high-end organic beauty company whose ingredients are sourced directly from their farm in Vermont. Their concept is farm to face. My favorite product of is the Daily Regenerating Cleanser. They will be donating 15% of sales on Earth Day to help bring awareness and financial support to Marine Conservation Society's mission is to ensure our seas are healthy, pollution free, and protected. #foodcoachnyc #earthdayeveryday #tataharper #sustainablefishing 📷: @edibleseattle

  • FATIGUE: Energy is physical, emotional and energetic. It’s not as simple as eat a healthy diet and get enough sleep. While that can solve the early stages of fatigue, most of my clients are much more complex and need extra help. Below are the areas to investigate from a physical perspective (i.e the creation of ATP) listed in order of likelihood. The further down the list you get, the more fatigued you will feel. The emotional and energetic I’ll address in another post. 1. Eat a blood-sugar stabilizing diet. This does not mean avoiding (or over-eating) carbohydrates. It means eat a diet rich in vegetables. Include protein and fat in modest portion sizes. See my book for specifics. 2. Get 8 hours sleep! Yes, this is the most basic one. If you can’t sleep, take 450 mg magnesium before bed. 3. Low B vitamins. Take a B complex with methylated versions of B12 and folate. I like Vital Nutrients and Thorne. 4. Check your adrenals. Is your cortisol low? What about adrenaline and noradrenaline? Use herbs like ashwaganda and rhodiola to reset your adrenals. Try my adrenal tonic (link in bio - it tastes amazing!) 5. What are your iron and ferritin levels like? Your doctor can run these for you. I like to see ferritin above 40. 6. Check your thyroid. Look at TSH, free T4 and free T3, with free T3 being the active thyroid hormone. Anything above 2.5 for TSH should be addressed. Work with a functional medicine practitioner, naturopath or holistic endocrinologist. 7. Investigate your gut microbiome. If you have an overgrowth of yeast, parasites, or bad bacteria, these can damage the mitochondria making it difficult to create ATP. Work with a functional medicine practitioner or naturopath to run a gut microbiome test. 8. Can you use fat (dietary and body fat) as a fuel source? If your metabolism is damaged you may have an issue with burning fat. Have a functional medicine practitioner run an organic acid test (known as OAT) to determine this for you. 9. Look at EBV, Lyme, mold and heavy metals. You’ll need a practitioner well versed in these areas to address these for you. These are not that common so don’t immediately jump to this! *** #energy #vitality #foodcoachnyc
