This is where we share our favorite tips, tricks, secrets, and ways to "think like a healthy person" so that you can find your own delicious path to healthy living.
"Feel-Good Mondays" are meant to help us get back into that place of feeling energized, nourished, and ready to take inspired action for the week ahead.
I had a consultation call with a woman who reached out to us because she just could not take it anymore.
She was desperately seeking a solution to her IBS issues, weight gain, and lack of energy.
"I just don't know where to turn to or what to do at this point," she told me. "I've had stomach aches and bloating for years, and no doctor can tell me why. I've read that I could have food sensitivities or yeast overgrowth. One of my friends went paleo and all of her issues went away! But then I read that a vegan diet is the best way to go. I heard that probiotics can help. I heard that doing a cleanse can help. I know that stress can play a role, too. And do I need supplements??
I just feel overwhelmed and confused by all of the options out there, and don't know what to do next. I don't have enough time in the day to sort through all of this and figure it out. And am really hoping you can help me!"
Whew, boy! If you've ever dealt with a health issue, you probably found more "answers" to your problem in your internet search than in 10 medical books combined. And there are thousands of personal stories out there on what to try, what works, and what doesn't.
But here's the secret:
Most diets DO work — for someone.
But not necessarily you.
Because you are unique. And what your body needs is very specific to you.
If you are suffering from digestive issues, autoimmune disease, lack of energy, unwanted weight gain or thyroid concerns, know that what your body needs may be very different than the needs of your partner, child, coworker, or me!
- You could have undiagnosed food sensitivities.
- You might benefit from a detox.
- You might need more protein, veggies, or healthy fats in your diet.
- You might need support to heal your gut.
- You might need more nutrients than you're currently receiving/able to absorb from your food.
- You might need support for better sleep.
- You might need to move your body differently.
I definitely encourage dietary experimentation: By all means, try different foods and see how your body responds best! That's a great way of getting true, specific feedback from your body and what makes you feel good.
But if you feel overwhelmed, confused, and you want to get answers ASAP on what's keeping you from feeling good every day, I highly encourage you to reach out to us.

Love,
P.S. I’m SUPER excited to join NYC’s premiere Pilates studio, The CO Pilates, this Wednesday evening to discuss “Beautiful Bones”: How to use food and movement as natural medicine to build stronger bones, prevent osteoporosis and bone loss, and avoid fracture as we age.
I’ll be discussing the top foods and supplements that support strong bones, what can wreak havoc on our bones as we age (low stomach acid, an inflammatory diet, hormonal imbalance, vitamin D deficiency), why calcium isn’t the wonder supplement we once thought it was, and how to use lifestyle choices to avoid medicine (and fractures) going forward. The Co Pilates team will be discussing movement strategies that will support strong, flexible bones. This is an online workshop on Wednesday, 5/27 at 6:30pm ET, and you can sign up here to join us!
