It’s the time of year where we want to be healthier, we want to be wealthier, we want to make all our dreams come true, and it feels like anything is possible! It’s also the time of year where feelings of inadequacies, lacking, and not being enough can surface.

I fully advocate you doing you - embracing who you are, fully and unapologetically. But I also believe there’s nothing wrong with aspiring for more - of yourself and for yourself.

So what will be your catalyst for change? What will be the thing that will keep you steadfast and focused on whatever “that thing” is that you want for yourself?

In this episode:

• I talk about mindset, self-growth, personal development and share what tools have helped me do this work over the past decade.

• I share a few things I’m going to focus on in 2020 (and what the proudest goal I’ve achieved for myself has been thus far)

• And I ask a few thought-provoking questions to help you figure out what your catalyst of change is going to be.

Over the past 2+ years of the show, I’ve shared my health journey in a number of episodes, but recently I had an experience that shifted the context of how I view my health.

It’s had such a profound impact on me so, in this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes with an update of what’s going on in my health and how a slightly different approach in tracking is helping me to get to know my body in a whole new way with a fresh perspective.

Have you heard of Intermittent Fasting and wondered why it's supposedly good for you? Or how about why you often hear it associated with the Ketogenic Diet? Or have you heard how these things, and being a "fat-adapted" athlete can improve your athletic performance, but aren't quite sure how it works?

In this episode, I'm joined by Jamie Dant, a Licensed Dietitian-Nutritionist & Board Certified Nutrition Specialist. For the past 13 years, Jamie has worked in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach & the owner and operator of her own gym.

Jamie specializes in helping female athletes nourish their minds and bodies without restrictive dieting or tons of cardio so they can achieve optimal health and performance.

You'll hear us discuss:

• What is intermittent fasting, it's benefits & how to ease into it

• The relationship between intermittent fasting, the Keto diet & Weight Loss

• How nutrition impacts athletic training & performance

• The role of mindset

And so much more.

In this podcast episode, I’m joined by my running coach, Josh Maio of Gotham City Runners. I started working with Josh back in 2010, took a break while I recovered from overtraining, and recently started working with him again, as I figure out what running looks like for me these days.

While we focused on discussing three topics in this episode:

1. Body Image

2. The Role of the Weight Room

3. And the Importance of Rest

We also talk shop about a number of other topics from personality traits of runners, to the dynamics of the running community, the role social media plays in it, and so much more.

In this episode, I’m joined by Martin Luna, a personal trainer at Equinox who’s certified by NASM and Precision Nutrition with specializations in kettlebells, animal flow, pro-natal, calisthenics, swimming, boxing, barbells & weight lifting.

He's also my own personal trainer.

You’ll hear us discuss the power of mindset & attitudes, overcoming challenges in training, and he shares tips on how to make your workouts more effective.

Gluten-Free vs Grain-Free. Organic vs Pastured. Eco-Friendly vs Safer vs Chemical Free vs Green vs Sustainable.

Its confusing to know what all these terms mean, right (we know because they’re some of the most frequently asked questions that we get)?!

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m joined by my good friend Katie Leadbetter of @cleaneatingwithkatie for a casual conversation as we debunk these terms and offer our thoughts on navigating around them.

In the final installment of this mini-series, we explore Tiers 3 and 4 of the Functional Nutrition Framework.

If your health concerns aren’t resolved in Tiers 1 and 2, there’s likely some complicated dysfunction happening. You’ll hear how in Tier 3, we look to add an Integrative or Functional Medicine doctor to the partnership if one isn’t already involved. I share:

• How I found the functional and integrative doctors 

• How I guide my clients to find one to work with them no matter where in the world they’re located

• What to consider when selecting one

After resolving your health problems in Tiers 1, 2 or 3, we move to Tier 4 and maintaining your new normal. I share my new normal is and how I maintain it seasonally.

Would you run before you can walk? Just like you can’t exercise your way out of a bad diet, you also can’t medicate or even supplement your way out of one either.

If you want to address the root causes of your health complaints and find a resolution for them, then the environment that your symptoms and illness manifested itself in needs to be addressed.

A sensible, flexible and bio-individual way to do this is through the Functional Nutrition framework. This is the framework that I’ve structured my health coaching services around and take all of my clients through.

So in this new mini-series of The Live FAB Life Podcast, I’m walking you through each step of this framework. In this first episode you’ll hear: 

• Why its critical to establish a solid foundation by removing obstacles to health and healing by taking care of the non-negotiables

• What the non-negotiables are

• How to start addressing the

This week marks the second anniversary of The Live FAB Life Podcast!

In this episode, I discuss having an epiphany, with the help of some friends, on my unique position to help women in tech bring health and wellness to the forefront of their careers and lives.

You'll hear me share my work experience of working in startups to large corporate environments, the different stressors I experienced and how being micro-managed directly impacted my health and how I learned to reframe and deal with the situation for the better.
