Eating “healthy” doesn’t always fix fatigue, stubborn weight, or sugar cravings. Elevated insulin could be the hidden reason your energy crashes and weight won’t budge. In this post, I explain how insulin affects your body and how a personalized nutrition plan can help you finally boost energy, support weight loss, and feel like yourself again.

You might not realize it, but all those supplements, takeout meals, and random health products could be costing you hundreds—without improving your energy or health. In this post, I share how working with a holistic nutritionist helps you stop wasting money, finally get results, and feel energized every day.

Do you ever finish a meal and immediately feel like you need a nap? While it might seem normal, constant fatigue after eating is actually your body waving a red flag. From blood sugar crashes to gut imbalances and stress hormones, there are hidden reasons your meals might be draining your energy instead of fueling it. Here’s what’s really going on—and what you can do to stop the post-meal slump.

Counting calories sounds simple, but it’s one of the worst ways to approach nutrition. Calories don’t tell you how food impacts your energy, digestion, or hormones — and they can even harm your relationship with food. Here’s what really matters instead.

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you eat, you’re hungry again an hour later? It’s not just you and it’s not a lack of willpower. In this post, you’ll learn how blood sugar and insulin imbalances drive constant hunger, and what you can do to finally get off the rollercoaster.

I’m excited to share why I added Metabolic Balance to my root-cause nutrition program. This personalized, lab-based plan complements my coaching by helping you heal your metabolism, boost energy, improve digestion, balance hormones, and finally see real results with your weight without guesswork.

Feeling tired all the time isn’t normal and it’s not just because you need more sleep or coffee. In this post, we’ll uncover the real reasons behind your constant fatigue, from blood sugar crashes to poor digestion, and show you practical steps to finally get your energy back.

Tired of jumping from one diet to the next with nothing to show for it but exhaustion, cravings, and digestive discomfort? The problem isn’t your willpower, it’s your metabolism. Learn how a root-cause approach to nutrition can help you restore energy, improve digestive health, and finally feel like yourself again.

In my early twenties, I felt like I was falling apart.

I was exhausted, bloated, breaking out constantly, and stuck in a cycle of restrictive diets and guessing games. It wasn’t until I discovered root-cause nutrition that everything changed. This is my story and how the healing I found is possible for you, too.

You’ve eliminated all the “bad” foods—gluten, dairy, sugar—maybe even beans or certain veggies. But you still feel awful. Exhausted. Bloated. Confused. In this post, I’m breaking down why elimination alone isn’t enough to fix your digestion or energy, and the real root causes that need to be addressed if you want to feel like yourself again

If you’ve ever wondered why you should pay out-of-pocket to work with a nutritionist when your insurance already covers one, you’re not alone.

The difference comes down to this: surface-level symptom management vs. true root-cause healing. In this post, I break down what sets my approach apart, and why it might be exactly what your body’s been asking for.

Let’s talk about something we’ve all experienced: sugar cravings that seem to come out of nowhere.

Maybe it's mid-afternoon and suddenly you're dreaming about cookies. Or you’ve just had lunch, and somehow you're already reaching for something sweet. It's easy to think this is just a lack of willpower, but your body is actually sending you important signals about your energy system.

Let’s talk about it.

If you’ve been struggling to lose weight despite eating "healthy" or “clean,” I want you to pause and take a breath. Because here’s a truth many don’t want to hear:

Food isn’t the problem.

Yes, you read that right. Weight loss isn’t just about what’s on your plate.

If food were the only factor, weight loss would be simple — just eat this and move more. But if that worked for everyone, you wouldn’t be reading this right now.

So, what’s really going on? Let’s dig into some hidden reasons why your weight might not be budging — and, more importantly, what you can do instead.

You went to bed early.

You didn’t scroll your phone (okay, maybe just a little).

You clocked a solid 8 hours of sleep…

So why do you still feel like you got hit by a truck? Or worse—why do you feel even more tired than you did before you went to bed?

Ever walk into a room and completely forget why you’re there? Or reread the same sentence five times because your brain just… won’t?

I remember during the middle of my own health challenges, I had so many of these moments that I genuinely started to wonder if I was just… stupid. I’d be in the middle of something simple—like playing volleyball, a sport I’d played my whole life—and completely blank out.

Have you ever eaten a meal and immediately felt like your stomach ballooned out?

You’re not alone. I remember seeing this all the way back in high school—girls would eat lunch and then jokingly show off their bloated bellies, laughing that they looked a few months pregnant.

Even then, I remember thinking: Is this really normal?

Strength training isn’t just about building muscle—it’s a powerful tool for improving digestion, boosting energy, and optimizing your metabolism. When done correctly, strength training can help address chronic gut conditions, balance blood sugar, and support long-term health, all while improving cognitive function and fighting the effects of aging. At Reformed Fitness, we’re making it easier for busy professionals to incorporate efficient strength training into their routine—because muscle isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Most people assume their gut symptoms are caused by something they ate. And that’s not a totally wild guess — after all, some symptoms show up right after meals. But that logic can actually keep you stuck.

Eliminating food becomes the go-to strategy. But when that doesn’t lead to lasting relief, you’re left confused, restricted, and still not feeling great.

I remember when I was deep in the trenches of low energy and daily exhaustion. It felt like I was being pulled in every direction trying to figure out why I had no energy in the first place.

I’d go online and read things like:

“You’re anemic.”
“Take a multivitamin.”
“Get more sunlight.”
“Try intermittent fasting.”
“Fix your disordered sleep.”

And the list went on… and on… and on.

Whatever the reason, skipping breakfast can have a real impact on your energy, focus, and overall well-being. You’ve probably heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day—which is partially true. I’d argue that every meal is important. But breakfast does play a unique role in setting the tone for your energy and metabolism.
