There’s tired… and then there’s tired.

Not the kind a good night’s sleep can fix. The kind that lingers. The kind that makes everything feel just a little heavier. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s like moving through your day in slow motion.

Lately, I’ve been feeling it.

Not completely...

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still not seeing results?

You’re eating better.
You’re moving more.
You’re trying to stay consistent.
And yet it’s hard to tell if it’s actually working.

It’s frustrating. It’s discouraging. And it’s exactly where so many people give up.

I shared this with my email list today and thought I’d post it here too, because honestly, it’s such a simple idea and might be just what you need if your mornings have been feeling a little off lately.

What’s the first thing you do in the morning?

Soup season is here, and I'm all about giving classic dishes a bit of a makeover to fit our healthier lifestyles without sacrificing flavour. Today, I'm excited to share my twist on the traditional Portuguese Caldo Verde soup, substituting potatoes with cauliflower for a lighter yet equally satisfyi...

How often do you hear someone say, "I'm busy," when asked how they're doing? I've been reflecting on what being "busy" truly signifies. Does it mean, "I don't have time to chat right now," or "I'm too swamped for anything"? "I'm soooo busy" has become a modern mantra, almost an automatic response, a...

Holy cow! We're already almost halfway through 2024! Time flies when you're... well, living life. As we hit this mid-year mark, it's the perfect opportunity to pause and take stock of how things are going. Grab a cup of coffee (or tea, or whatever your beverage of choice is), and let's explore some ...

Whenever summer rolls around, I get excited about the bounty of fresh fruits it brings, especially peaches. They are my favourite to include in desserts not just for their sweet, juicy flavour but for their impressive health benefits. Paired with raspberries and a crunchy oat topping, this Peach and...

I once had a diet so regimented that I found myself eating chicken and broccoli off the floor of my car. It sounds absurd now, but back then, when I was competing in bodybuilding competitions, the thought of missing even one of my six daily meals seemed unthinkable. It's moments like these that brin...

Kale can sometimes be a tough sell, but with the right combination of ingredients, it can be transformed into a delicious dish. This Kale and Apple Slaw combines the crunchy texture of fresh apples and red cabbage with the nutty flavour of toasted pumpkin seeds and the sweetness of dried cranberries...

My kids are usually skeptical when they hear pork tenderloin is for dinner, often complaining about the meat being too dry. Inspired by a method I learned from Carlsbad Cravings, I've started brining the tenderloin first. This simple step has made all the difference in keeping the pork moist and fla...

I'm a big fan of mushroom risotto—it's one of my go-to dishes when I want something rich and comforting. However, I thought it might be fun to switch things up a bit with asparagus coming into season. Asparagus adds a lovely, fresh crunch that lightens the dish, making it perfect for spring evenings...
