“It feels like nothing’s really safe to eat anymore.

I want to preserve both my health and the environment, but how am I supposed to do that since the experts can’t agree among themselves?

I’ve heard about the dangers of lectins and oxalates. What am I supposed to eat to avoid poisoning myself?”

This is what one of my clients posted in our Joyful Cooking for Natural Vitality community recently.

“I used to eat whatever I wanted without a care in the world,” she wrote, “and now I just feel scared.”

So if you’ve felt scared yourself there is good news!

Because all that panic, all that confusion about what to eat, comes from one fundamental belief: the idea that there are “good” foods and “bad” foods.

Do you want to change but just can’t seem to make it happen?

Here’s the truth:

You don’t have to believe you can change in order to make the change.

I used to be stuck too.

Stuck at a weight I didn’t love.

Stuck in the wine-drinking identity of a former winemaker who saw herself as “a big booze hound.”

I had no idea if I could actually become someone different.

But I was so dissatisfied with my current reality that I was willing to try.

And here’s what I discovered about getting unstuck.

Grab your journal (or a scrap piece of paper) and answer these questions:

• If anything was possible and there would be no downside, what do you want in your relationship with food?

• How do you want to feel in your body?

• What weight would you like to be this time next year?

• Is there anything else you want to change with food, your body, or other aspects of your health?

If you’re not a journaler, try verbal journaling. Go for a walk and just talk out loud to yourself. There’s something powerful about hearing your own words through your ears.

You’ll be surprised at what comes up.

We’ve all been told that whole grains are the gold standard of healthy eating, right?

Well, today I want to challenge that conventional wisdom, especially if you’re navigating midlife like me.

Before you close this tab thinking I’ve lost the plot, hear me out.

The more I’ve been diving into gut health research, the more I’m questioning whether those “healthy whole grains” are actually doing us any favors – particularly when we hit our forties, fifties, and beyond.

A few months ago, went on a blind date…

I interviewed Dr. Betsy Greenleaf, a specialist in helping people navigate menopause with vitality.

She said something that completely stopped me in my tracks: when you get your gut health right, your body handles hormonal changes so much better.

That lightbulb moment came at the perfect time. I’d been experiencing some constipation. So I decided to go all-in on improving my gut health.

The results? Mind-blowing.

In just a few months, I’ve noticed huge improvements in my mental health – my mind feels calmer and clearer, my hormonal anxiety has decreased, and I just feel… better.

Like, “I want more of this” better.

One of my clients in the Naturally Healthy Club posted in the group saying she felt like she sabotaged herself.

• Why I Don’t Believe in Self-Sabotage.
• It’s Just Conflicting Desires

It’s that time of year when resolutions are on our minds. But here’s the thing: most resolutions aren’t actually resolutions at all. They’re wishes. And there’s a huge difference.

The word “resolution” comes from “resolve”—to decide firmly on a course of action. Not maybe. Not hopefully. Firmly.

This year, I set one simple intention: to feel content.

Not constantly chasing the next thing, not wishing for different circumstances, but genuinely appreciating where I am in whatever moment that is.

Of course there were struggles and hard things (that’s life, right?), but overall? I can honestly say this has been my best year ever.
