I’ve gotten a version of this question quite a few times lately: “Have you lost weight?” And I’ve gone back and forth on whether to address it. I don’t love talking about my weight. It’s not why I do what I do, and I never want the size of my body to become the measure […]

Because wellness is both my profession and one of my biggest interests, I spend a lot of time paying attention to what’s new. I read the research, test the products and sort through endless product pitches every single week.  I’m constantly hearing about the newest supplement, gadget, recovery tool, or health trend that’s supposed to

I was at a gathering a few weeks ago, and I could tell something had shifted. A few women in the room looked different than the last time I’d seen them. To say it bluntly – they had lost a significant amount of weight. And while everybody noticed it, nobody really knew what to say.

Let me walk you through what an “optimized” morning actually looks like these days according to what we’re told on social media… Breakfast isn’t just supposed to be balanced anymore.  It’s supposed to be organic, in season, and local, ideally something you grew yourself.  You sit down to eat your (partially) organic (store-bought) breakfast.

Yesterday I was lying in bed scrolling, and in the span of a few minutes, three different accounts told me three totally different things about seed oils. One said there’s nothing to worry about, the whole thing is overblown.  The next said get them out of your diet immediately, they’re inflammatory and dangerous.  A third

Lately I’ve been noticing something that I think is worth addressing… There’s a trend on social media and among women that we always need to be doing MORE to improve our health. We’re optimizing everything. Tracking every step, buying all the gadgets, following all the plans, buying all the supplements and it has become nearly

Over the past few years I’ve had the privilege of spending time in Italy.  It’s become a favorite place of mine and I’m dreaming up my next trip as we speak. But until my next trip, I’ve been thinking about the things I love and learned about Italian culture that I want to cultivate right

Here’s a question I get asked frequently: “I’m not very sore after my workouts. Does that mean they’re not working?” I hear this from Lindywell members. I hear it from my friends. And I used to wonder about it myself too. We’ve been so conditioned by the “no pain, no gain” mentality that somewhere along

While the wellness world is shouting “More protein! More protein!”  I’m sneaking in with a friendly reminder that can have just as big of an impact on your health…maybe even more. A reminder to eat more fiber.  Fiber does more than you probably think. Most women get around half of what’s actually recommended daily. And
