Hours

I talk to EVERY SINGLE ONE of my clients about adequate rest and sleep. When did it become acceptable, even expected, for humans to live this way? Sleep is a basic human need, as vital as water, food and shelter. It would take all night (haha) to pay respect to all the things that happen during this restorative time, but suffice it to say, you should hold it in as high a regard as what you eat. You can completely dial in your nutrition, movement, and stress management, but if you are short changing yourself at night, you are setting yourself up for dysregulation in your body that can manifest in countless ways. Plain and simple, chronic sleep deprivation is a driver of chronic disease, just like poor nutrition or unmitigated stress.
.
.
The definition of sleep deprivation might surprise you too. You may think we’re talking about 2 or 3 hours for months on end. Nope. For example, just 4-6 hours a night for even a few days, has been shown to decrease circulating leptin (your satiety hormone) and increase ghrelin (your hunger hormone). Blaming your lack of “willpower” for overeating? Don’t! Take that energy and channel it into creating a consistent and relaxing routine to get more and better quality sleep.
Prioritize sleep like you would any other healthy habit. And 4, 5 or 6 hours ain’t gonna cut it friends. I’m talking 7-8 hours of solid, uninterrupted, precious, rejuvenating, restoring sleep!

I look at this sweet little girl and I marvel at her innate ability to eat intuitively- to eat when hungry, to stop when full, to not allow social, situational, cultural or emotional factors affect her ability to feed her body. It’s an ability every human is born with, but gets lost along the way. Can you get back in touch with this skill? ABSOLUTELY! It takes time and practice, but here are a few starting points...
1. Feed your hunger. This is KEY! Hunger is so often ignored because we are busy or perhaps trying to “diet” or eat less. When you dismiss your hunger you set yourself up for a blood sugar roller coaster. The result? A biological drive of ravenous hunger that is then impossible to ignore. Enter overeating or bingeing.
2. Recognize fullness- We eat fast and mindlessly, without attention to how our body feels. Stop. Slow down. Check in with your body at the beginning, the middle and the end of the meal. If you are full and you leave a few bites on the plate, it’s all good. Know that whatever it is, you will have it again.
3. Eat with consciousness- Take away all distractions- phone, television, email, driving (ugh, guilty). Pay attention to that gorgeous food. Whatever it is, savor it without judgement. Enjoy it. Taste it. Feel it. Appreciate it for the nourishment it is giving your body.
As always, we can learn so much about the basics of life from these little instinctual creatures!

Our habits hold the key to how our life works and how we meet our goals. One of the most tried and true habits for healthy eating is to make a plan. Not a rigid eating menu or schedule with a bunch of diet rules, but a plan.
There are so many benefits to this. Of course, it can help you eat healthier, but also eliminates the “what the hell do I cook for dinner” that happens on busy days, helps to ensure there will always be a vegetable at dinner, decreases food waste since ingredients are purchased with intent, cuts down on mid-week trips to the grocery store and can even save you money since you aren’t buying food on the spot. Set aside 10 or 20 minutes once a week and plan it out. IT WORKS. .

I was sitting in the hair and makeup chair of a friend of mine this past week. I hadn’t seen her in over a year, around the time she started her health and weight loss journey. Since then, she has slowly and healthily lost 80 pounds. Whenever I encounter someone that has made a profound change in their life, especially when it comes to health, I’m always curious to know their how and the why. So I asked her “What worked for you? What was the key?” Without blinking she responded, “I stopped making excuses- I’m too busy. I work too much. I’m too tired. All of it was BS.” That is wisdom friends. We allllll have excuses, but how powerful could we be if we let go of of them?

FAT. Remember in the 80’s and 90’s when it was enemy number 1? Fat makes you fat, right? Fat increases your risk for heart disease right? It turns out, the research actually does NOT support this. .
.
There were two major things that were problematic about this advice. One, no distinction was made for the QUALITY of the fat and two, what replaced that fat (good or bad) was… more carbohydrates and sugar. .
.
Instead of declining, obesity, heart disease and diabetes have risen dramatically since. We need fat, but the right kind to support optimum health. Fat composes 60% of your brain, is the main component of all your cell membranes and the precursor for all your hormones. .
.
So, where can you get these healthy fats? Wild fatty fish, grass-fed beef and other responsibly raised animals, free-range eggs, nuts, seeds, coconut oil, avocados and avocado oil, olives and olive oil. .
.
This low-carb meal might look like just some protein and non-starchy carbs, but there are 2 tbsp. of olive oil drizzled over that steamed broccoli. Fat is satiating and helps to stabilize our blood sugar so that we aren’t jonesing for some simple carbs 30 minutes after a meal. Fat is your friend, so invite her to every meal! .

Day 2 of kids napping at the same time = miracle = I actually put makeup on and felt like a human.

Kids asleep, listening to Alina Baraz and prepping for a dinner party. This is what Sunday is about.
