{HMW} Before You Make That Food Resolution, Read This...
Dear Reader, New Year's Eve is almost here, and with it comes the pressure to create dramatic eating resolutions. "Starting January 1st, I'll be perfect with food." "New year, new me! this time I'll really change." But here's the truth: the calendar changing doesn't magically create different results. Real, lasting change with food comes from a completely different approach than New Year's resolutions. Start Where You Are: Don't wait for January 1st or Monday or next month. Any moment can be...
READ POST{HMW} Three questions to ask before the holiday meal chaos begins
Dear Reader, It's Christmas week, and you're likely facing multiple holiday meals, special treats, family gatherings, and foods that only appear once a year. The pressure to eat everything, enjoy everything, and not "waste" special holiday foods can completely override your body's signals. Instead of complex rules, focus on three simple principles that support both enjoyment and body awareness. Principle 1: Permission Without Obligation: Give yourself full permission to eat holiday foods you...
READ POST{HMW} The gap between hunger and awareness (and how stress widens it)
Dear Reader, Have you ever noticed how you’re suddenly at the bottom of a bag, a plate, or the fridge door… and you’re not quite sure how you got there? No pause.No clear decision.Just movement. For many of us, eating has become something that happens to us instead of with us.Not because we lack discipline, but because our nervous system has learned to stay on high alert. When stress is running the show, awareness narrows.Hunger cues get quiet.Satisfaction gets blurry.Food becomes a reflex....
READ POST{HMW} You're probably eating too fast (here's why it matters)
Dear Reader, Are you a speed eater? You probably don't eat at the same pace every time. Lightning-fast at your desk, leisurely at restaurants, somewhere in between at home. Most of us are what I call "Context Shifters"—our eating speed responds to external pressures rather than intentional choice. Here's why pace matters: your stomach and brain communicate through hormones, but this conversation takes about 20 minutes. If you finish a meal in 5-10 minutes, you're deciding whether to keep...

READ POST{HMW} The surprising thing that happens before stress eating kicks in
Dear Reader, A quick share for you today. You know I talk a lot about how stress eating isn’t really about food, it’s about what your nervous system is trying to manage underneath. When we’re depleted, overwhelmed, or stretched thin, food becomes the fastest source of comfort, control, or pause. That’s why I wanted to share a resource from my friend Nick Urban, a Certified CHEK Practitioner and Human Optimization Coach. He created a short, science-backed 3-Step Guide to 10X Your Energy that...
READ POST{HMW} You're wired to compare your eating with others. Here's how to stop.
Dear Reader, Ever glance at someone else's meal and immediately judge your own? You're not alone. We're wired to compare our eating to others. It's actually an evolutionary holdover from when observing what others ate helped us survive. But here's the problem: you have zero complete information about what someone else's body actually needs. Their metabolism, activity level, when they last ate, their health conditions—you're missing all of it. You're comparing your internal experience to their...
READ POST{HMW} Why you're starving some mornings (and not others)
Dear Reader, Some mornings I wake up ravenous. Other mornings, the idea of breakfast sounds deeply unappealing. And it's not random—my morning hunger is actually responding to a bunch of factors from the day before. What I ate for dinner and when. How well I slept. My stress levels. Whether I exercised. All of it influences whether my body wakes up needing fuel immediately or still working through what I ate hours ago. Your quick win: If you're confused about whether you're actually hungry in...
