In the mood for an honest conversation about sleep? You have come to the right place.
In a world where a simple google search or a mindless IG scroll will provide us with hundreds of tips, tricks, and advice on how to get a “good night’s sleep,” Dr. Rachelle and I decided to take this topic in a completely different direction.
So let’s assume we all know what to do to achieve restorative sleep; no screens before bed, blackout curtains, white noise blah, blah, blah and jump right into the truth.
In this episode, Dr. R and I chat about the realities of what keeps up a night despite our best efforts. Whether it is crying babies, snuggling puppies, worry thoughts, snoring partners (or all of the above), we discuss how to support your body through and around these disruptions so that the cost to your health is minimal.
Our ultimate intent is to help you feel better even if you are currently not sleeping through the night! xo

I knew I had met my partner in crime from the moment Dr. Rachelle and I started a conversation about our approach to nutrition.
In a profession where food is medicine, we discussed how we fumbled in the early days of our careers, with extreme nutrition approaches and unaware diet mentality making its way into patient treatment plans. We share what we have learned over the decades and how our mandate around food and health is one of balance, mind-body health, and sustainability.
Both with our own stories about how we discovered a healthy relationship with food and body image, this conversation is filled with honesty, laughter, and tears as we get passionate about the need to heal food dysfunction.
Grab a cup of tea and a cookie and settle in for an authentic conversation!

I was a little uncertain about what a discussion about movement would look like with a silver medal Olympian but once we got into it I quickly realized just how relatable Dr. Rachelle is when it comes to this topic.
In this episode, we discuss the unhealthy messages that so many of us have received about fitness and our bodies, the realities of a sedentary lifestyle, and the costs of overtraining. We break down types of movement that are most beneficial during different seasons of your life and how to listen to what your body needs as it relates to exercise.
Rachelle gets super honest about how elite sport impacted her both physically and mentally/emotionally and how she found peace in her body after her career as a competitive rower ended.
Whether you are just getting off the couch or recently completed an Iron Man there is something in this episode for you!
