Now displaying: December, 2019
Dec 30, 2019

It’s the start of a new decade! Are you excited?

I certainly am. I’m most excited about the goals I have set for this year.

I write, post to social media, and coach my clients a lot on goal setting. Why? Because without clarity, without knowing what we want, motivation is unsustainable. You might have fits and spurts of inspiration, but you're not clear on where to apply that inspiration- and so inspiration and motivation wanes.

Join me in this week's episode for a step by step process to review 2019 and set meaningful goals for 2020.

When you're ready to take the next step, here’s how I can help:

  1. Subscribe to the Podcast on iTunes or your favourite player app.
  2. Want more no-BS nutrition coaching so that you can ditch dieting, and ACTUALLY stick to it? Get started with my Free Course: The Diet Rules ACTUALLY Worth Following to end the fight against your body and to get to your happy, healthy weight naturally and permanently.
  3. If you’re in Chilliwack, we have (unofficially) opened registration for the Chilliwack's Biggest Winner. You'll be hearing more about it in the next few days :)

At this time of year, the Internet is full of advice on how to avoid overindulging during the holidays. If you have a healthy relationship with food and lead a healthy lifestyle, it doesn’t really matter what happens during a few holiday feasts. You can eat, drink, indulge, and simply get back to your regular routine on December 26th, or perhaps the 27th.  One or two meals is not going to cause you to gain weight, just like one healthy meal doesn't cause you to lose weight.

However, if you struggle with food, namely emotional eating, or a chaotic relationship with food, , it is worth putting some intention and planning into your holiday meals. You might find that a few “indulgences“ can lead to feeling out of control and guilty. This could spiral into weeks or months of unhealthy eating (or over-restricting in 2020).

In this podcast, I will share a few strategies and tactics to help you listen to your body and feel in control during your holiday meals. The goal isn’t to use all the strategies; Instead, pick 1 or 2 to implement.

Do you ever feel deprived or like you're missing out when you're trying to make healthier choices... and others around you are not?

Have you ever heard anyone say "If you deprive yourself, you'll just overeat later"?

What if you didn't have to choose:
1. Missing out, 'being good', or only having a little bit and feeling deprived
AND
2. Having all the things (also called F * It)

What if there was a THIRD option.

Spoiler alert: there is. 

Enjoy this audio recording from a recent Facebook or Instagram Live to help you THRIVE during the holidays.

Vegan. Keto. Paleo. Intermittent fasting. I often get asked what ‘side’ I am on. Am I vegan? Keto?(no, I’m Tanja).
 
With so many options out there, it's sometimes hard to figure out the best approach to eating better and improving your health. Plus, nutrition information is always changing! One day coffee is good for you, the next day its not. Ditto with eggs, red wine and meat. I even get confused!
 
Everyone has an opinion and many of those opinions are pretty strong (if you want to get into a heated debate, just start talking about politics, religion, or nutrition).
 
Instead of arguing which diet is best, let’s talk about how to choose the best eating style for YOU.
 
Join me on this week’s podcast as I:
✔️ Demystify nutrition science so that you know what to believe (and not believe) 
✔️ Break down different diet plans so that you can figure out which diet plan is best for you
✔️ Overview the claims of the popular Netflix documentary “Game Changers”
 
Want more no-BS nutrition coaching so that you can ditch dieting, and ACTUALLY stick to it? Get started with my Free Course: The Diet Rules ACTUALLY Worth Following to end the fight against your body and to get to your happy, healthy weight naturally and permanently.

Debunking Game Changers with Chris Kresser
Dec 2, 2019

Only 20% of women are satisfied with their bodies. 89% of women and 8 out of 10 girls are withdrawing from life engaging activities because they don’t feel good about their bodies.  This means women are holding themselves back from living the life they dream of.  (Dove Beauty & Confidence Report, 2019)

This is why we need Body Love. 

In this episode I team up with Emma Polette from bodylovehq.com to talk all things about loving your body.

  • Our own turning points when we reached ‘diet rock bottom’ and realized we needed to start truly caring for ourselves
  • Common triggers such as seeing a picture of yourself or looking at yourself in the mirror and not liking what you see, and how to quickly get back to self-love and acceptance
  • Myths and misconceptions about what loving your body actually is 
  • Simple daily practices to start practicing body love

Emma Polette is the founder of Body Love HQ.  Her clients call her a real woman for real women. She is a qualified personal trainer, health coach, reiki master & yoga teacher and the creator of The Body Love Method™

She uses these modalities and many other tools to empower women to treat their bodies with love just as they are right now.

Emma’s mission is to create a huge ripple effect of Body Love throughout the world via her 12-month Body Love Coach Certification Course and her workshops, online courses and retreats.

When she's not teaching classes & workshops or recording her latest podcast episode, Emma hangs out with her dog Barney and enjoys a decaf flat white with a side of gluten-free chocolate brownie.
