The No Nonsense Wellness Podcast | Weight Loss & Health for Real Life - without diets, emotional eating, or BS

Health + Wellness + Weight Loss + Nutrition + Mindset + a lot of REAL talk about life, balance and finding joy and purpose. Are you a busy woman who’s trying to DO ALL THE THINGS and stay healthy, sane, and actually have fun in the process? Maybe you’re sick of being on the diet roller coaster and want to finally achieve food freedom and lasting weight loss and health? Well you’re my people and you’re in the right spot! It’s so easy for us to put everyone else before ourselves. Slowly and without realizing it we start shrinking in our lives, we put on weight, we stop exercising, we stop dreaming. And then we find ourselves stuck in this unfulfilled, frumpy place, not knowing how we got there or how to get out. Been There. Done That. Started the Podcast. As a trained Therapist, Nutrition Coach, and Fitness instructor I’ll be your guide and coach to achieving the weight loss, wellness, freedom, and joy I know you’re after. As a wife, mom to 2 teen boys, and a work from home entrepreneur, I’m gonna keep it REAL with you! And as a woman who daily overcomes struggles with an auto-immune disorder, body image, self-love and stepping into my greatness, I’m walking this journey alongside you. In this podcast we’re going to dive into what’s sabotaging you and holding you back from the health and life you desire. We’ll explore healthy, lasting weight loss, nutrition, fitness, habits, your emotions, your thoughts and mindset, your relationships, and all the other parts of YOU. I want to hold your hand as you transform into the total badass you TRULY are. So pop in those ear buds, tie up those shoes, and let’s walk and talk!

What you don't know CAN hurt you!   "If only I knew then what I know now" . . .  I find myself saying that so often about my body and my health! Thanks to my friend, my physical therapist, and our guest on this episode I'm finding out that so many of my back problems  could be stemming from poor pregnancy and c-section recovery.  If you've given birth, intend to, or know someone  who will be, listen up because the way you take care...

Chronic Stress is Making You Fat   As a society, we're more stressed than we've ever been.  We're also more out of shape, overweight, obese, and unhealthy than we've ever been.  Stress isn't the ONLY reason we're struggling but it's a HUGE contributing factor that we don't give enough time, thought, or work to.     Stress is not just when you feel overwhelmed or pulled in too many directions, stress is a physiological response in y...

    Do you have to cut carbs to lose weight?   To carb or not to carb, that is the question!   If you look around social media, half the people are telling you to quit carbs altogether and half the people are telling you the carbs are good and you need them. But who's right? This episode is our third installment in our focus on the food three part series.  We already talked about protein and fat, if you haven't caught the first two ep...

    But won't fat make me fat?   No. 😏 No it won't, we can put that myth to bed right?  Fat is an ESSENTIAL part of your diet, you cannot be healthy without adequate fat.  Fat is necessary to absorb certain vitamins like A, D, E, & K, to reduce inflammation, regulate your immune system and synthesize hormones .  Every single cell in your body has a layer of fat around it and your entire nervous system is sheathed in a layer of fat.  F...

    Time to Focus on Food   In this podcast, we talk a lot about the mental game of overcoming stress eating, emotional eating, food obsession, and over eating.  We talk a lot about the mindset piece, and it's SO important, but that's only half the equation. The Healthy Mind side of the equation. We need to also spend some time talking about the Healthy Body side of the equation. So  for the next few weeks we're going to focus on food...

    Got Stress?   Ya, I know you do, we all do. CHRONIC stress.  Did you know that that chronic stress is drastically interfering with your ability to lose weight and get healthy? Chronic stress contributes to heart disease, insomnia, poor immune function, inability to lose weight, skin issues, anxiety, low energy, poor recovery, etc. etc. It's obvious that managing your chronic stress is a BIG DEAL!   You've probably heard that one of...

    Intentional Living Made Simple   It's hard to believe it's January 2023! I know that this is the time of year where we're all really focused on getting our crap together.  We all want to get a little bit more organized so that we feel like we're heading into the year with a plan. I thought this was the perfect time to share with you guys my interview with Julie Redmond of Mom Made Plans. Julie is all about intentional living made s...

      Imagine this: 2023 is the LAST time you have to lose the weight, the LAST time you feel crappy and tired all day, the LAST time you emotionally eat, the LAST time you give in to all your cravings, the LAST time you look in the mirror and hate what you see.   In general, I'm not a fan of New Years Resolutions, in large part because about 91% of people have given up on them before January is even over.  I AM however in favor of se...

    It's time to bring in the big guns!   And by big guns I mean ME 😂!    When you're frustrated, you're not getting the results you want, you want to move faster, or you're not sure what to do next - you talk to an expert right? In my life I've hired personal trainers, business coaches, life coaches, therapists, etc. so that I could learn what I didn't know, figure out what was holding me back, and move forward faster.  A health and ...

    There's just a lot of bad advice out there!   Tis the season for looking around at all the diet and supplement commercials and deciding what's going to be the best one for you to FINALLY lose weight and get healthy in the new year.   The diet and supplement industry spends billions of dollars to convince you that the newest fad thing is the best.  Your best friend is SURE her way is the best, and that gal you follow on insta says h...

    It's the happiest time of year!   Unless it's not.     I had a fantastic conversation with Life Transformation Strategist Cristina Jolly about how to handle this time of year when you don't exactly FEEL happy.  Christina is the host of the Believe for Bigger Podcast, and a life coach who helps women who struggle with identity, lack of confidence and helps them embrace their worth, step into boldness and operate in their gifts with ...

    It tastes so good I just want more!   And then you have more and more and more.  Why does it seem like, when food tastes so good, I have such a hard time stopping and other people don't?  Do they have some sort of super power that I don't have?   If you've asked those questions, you're far from alone. Control around food is a skill that you can learn, but it takes the right tools, and a lot of practice.  That's why I'm here!    In ...

    Dry, winter skin be gone!   I've got a special treat for you in this episode! I got to sit down and interview my friend Rene Bartosh with Pure & Coco skincare. Renee has an awesome story of dealing with eczema her whole life, and then figuring out how to solve her own problem by creating her own skincare products. Those products turned into a skincare line which now she sells online, in her own store in Montesano WA, and in several...

    Don't make this bigger than it is . . .   In ANY journey there's ups and downs, leaps forward and setbacks.  Why would we think a journey to overcome emotional/binge eating overeating would be any different?  Messing up is totally normal and you should EXPECT it to happen! The real problem is that when we "mess up" we go down the shame and guilt spiral, we decide it's never going to change, we'll always struggle, nothing will ever ...

    You CAN Handle the Holidays!   Did you know the average American gains 8 lbs over the holidays?  The "holidays" are only 2 months!  And the vast majority don't lose it.  This does NOT have to be you!   The holiday season seems to take all our normal stressors and amplify them.  All the difficult emotions and situations that we emotionally eat because of now, seem bigger during this holiday season.  Finances, relationships, loss, ou...

    It's NOT about your weight   We talk a lot in this podcast about HEALTH being your goal instead of just weight loss being your goal.  I am firmly in the camp that if you focus on increasing your health, weight loss will be a great side effect of that if your body needs to lose weight. ONLY focusing on losing weight all the time does not necessarily make you healthy.   I could point to a lot of people who look very thin on the outsi...

    Stop letting your situation define you   We've all got problems, big and small.  But all too often we let those problems define us.  We decide what we are or are not capable of, based on those problems.  Our identity gets wrapped up in it and we get stuck there.     Your problem could be a situation, an illness, a trauma, a relationship, a difficulty of any kind.  For many years after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder I l...
