I think most, if not all of us reading the tip today, have experienced feeling stuffed from overeating. It’s an unpleasant feeling that bogs you down and causes bloat and sometimes a distended stomach. Some other symptoms that you might experience, especially if you overeat often (e.g., having “seconds” after dinner most nights– don’t feel […]
Last week, I talked about getting rest and taking time to relax, and I hope that you did! A tip that I want to add – to the times that you are taking time to rest up- is to try and adjust your eating patterns to your physical activity each day. For example, don’t eat […]
As the holiday season comes to a close, we can begin winding down and I know most of us are ready for a break! Well, I am here to tell you to take it, you deserve it, and your body actually needs it! Rest is so important for many bodily processes, including keeping our hormones […]
When I discuss cravings, I’m typically referring to those moments that we find ourselves wanting to eat certain foods or food in general between meals, even when we know we aren’t really hungry.

Becoming more nutritionally aware is great but it can be overwhelming when you first start on this path to better health through better food choices. I completely sympathize, I have been there.
