Yep, there’s definitely some things I’ve had to unlearn over the last 20 years. Here are my top three as they relate to metabolic health: #1: Snack all day Snacking does not speed up your metabolism and it’s not great for metabolic health. In fact, snacking all day (especially on high carb foods) can keep your blood sugar elevated and cause weight loss resistance. #2: Eat dessert by itself I used to think it was better not to have dessert right after dinner or at the back end of a large meal. For blood sugar control, better advice may be just the opposite. Having dessert (or a high carb food) directly after your meal, or with your meal, slows digestion and may prevent blood sugar spikes. #3: Eat within an hour of waking The thought here was by eating first thing, whether hungry or not, would jumpstart your metabolism. And this may be fine if you had an early dinner. Now I recommend listening to your body, but after you fasted overnight for at least 12 hours. This offers more benefit at the cellular level than eating first thing in the morning. Okay, that’s my list. Now tell me, what do you have to unlearn? Let me know in the comments 👇👇 These are just some of the practical, everyday strategies I will teach you in Metabolic Mastery. You’ll also learn my easy glucose lowering hacks and how to measure your own blood sugar response (before and after meals). We start the 8-week course next week.

Want to age well, ladies? I do! My best tip? Get proactive instead of reactive. Understand what's going on in your body before it shows up in a more serious way. Many people have metabolic issues brewing for years and don't realize it until it's a serious problem. Poor metabolic health can show up in many ways - chronic pain, weight gain, sleep quality, infertility and more. Prevention is the best medicine. Catch it early and start taking steps toward metabolic health! ➡️ Check link in bio to get help! #metabolichealth #metabolism #womenhealth #healthywoman #longevity #weightloss #lifespan #womenswellness

✨ February ‘23 goals ✨This is my birthday month so I like to reflect on my yearly goals now instead of in January. I feel more connected to age-related goals than calendar ones. What do I want to experience the next 12 months? How do I want to grow? Who do I want to be? #birthday #birthdaygirl #goals #goalsetting #nutritioncoach #healthylifestyle #dietitian #february #aquarius #lifestylemedicine #foodconfidence #wellness
