october feels silent.

i’ve been a holistic nutritionist long enough (6 years) to know this: motivation comes and goes but systems and rituals carry us. it’s not about building discipline for the sake of feeling like you’re getting something done. discipline without alignment is force. what truly holds us together are the daily rituals.

a deep dive on self-romance.

never lose hope. just re-direct it. maybe our hope in this season doesn’t live in the idea that someone else will treat us better. maybe we hope for other things. we hope to find the strength to move on. we put the hope into our dreams, our goals, our ambitions.

How I Got Started in Holistic Nutrition

While I was hospitalized in Paris by myself, I started thinking about what I was doing to myself, who I wanted to be and how I wanted to show up in the world. I knew I wanted to be someone who inspired people, who showed people another way, who changed the quality of peoples’ lives. I knew I was into fitness.

Then I started studying to be a personal trainer through the NASM certification program.

Dieting is a Dub.

Diets do not work because they don’t teach you how to listen to your body. Even the best diets don’t work. Over 65% of people who go on diets gain the weight back within a year later. They are good for the  temporary win only. So yes, you may lose the weight at first but it will come back. They go against intuitively connecting with your body and learning what works best for you. The key to sustainable healthy weight-loss is changing your lifestyle habits.

Primary Food: Nourishment Beyond the Plate

Primary Food is the nourishment we get outside of our plates. It’s the “food” that really feeds your soul. It’s having a self-care routine, having a fulfilling career, having nutritious relationships. It’s how we feed our mind, body, soul. Our lifestyle is our primary food and actual meals are our secondary food. The more primary food we receive the less we depend on secondary foods to fulfill our needs. And vice versa, the more we depend on secondary food the less we receive primary food.
