So you started 2018, with the best intentions to workout and eat healthier! “THIS is the year”, you thought. You went out and bought a gym membership, deciding that this time you would make exercising a priority in your life.

Fast forward a couple of months and those cute Nikes were just sitting in the closet collecting dust. I know what you’re thinking, “But . . . Mickayla . . . I’m just so busy and when I have the time I’m not motivated to workout.” You know you should exercise and every now and again you promise yourself you’ll do it THIS WEEK. Well, “this week”, comes and goes and before you know it it’s the week and you’re headed out for Friday pizza night or your meeting up with your girlfriends for happy hour.

Well it’s 2019 and you CAN CHANGE. And can I just say that you’re not alone in this! Even fitness professionals have to find the motivation and strength to get moving from somewhere. We...

Do you find yourself constantly thinking about food? Maybe you feel like you have an overactive sweet tooth, or your stomach is a bottomless pit and you’re hungry ALL THE TIME. They’re thoughts that are common, but don’t need to be your story. Let’s dive into my How to Stop Obsessing Over Food tips.

There are so many reasons why this could be happening, I am going to cover a couple common ones. I feel confident talking and teaching on this because I, myself, struggled with it for YEARS prior to beginning my career! 

1. You are restricting yourself from the foods that you LOVE!

Food deprivation may cause you to crave these foods even more. This is the nature of the human brain! When you tell yourself, you can’t have something you suddenly want it more! These restrictions can lead to binges, overeating and even stronger cravings.

2. You are not eating enough!

Under eating can cause you to have nutrient deficiencies. If your calorie intake is...

There’re about a million different ways that are thought to be the BEST way to ‘get healthy’ and ‘achieve your ideal body’. Regardless of all the information out there that’s accessible to you, it can be insanely overwhelming to a person trying to find out what’s best for THEM. Today I want to help you figure out if Tracking Your Macros is Right For You. 

Because a great deal of the advice is conflicting and despite all the research out there, the attention-grabbing/non-factual information still somehow makes its way through it all. This sadly creates a more than ideal environment for companies to make empty promises that there is some magical weight-loss secret only they have the answer to. Fat loss pills, some tea that melts away all of your fat (cue the eye roll), wraps that magically make you skinny, the list goes on and on.

Knowledge is power!

And the diet industry thrives on misinformation.

So if...

Food is meant to be consumed with the intention of feeding your mind, body and spirit well. Yet very few people are actually eating a well balanced diet that isn’t attached to emotion, or unhealthy habits. This reality is why I want to help so many others learn How to Have a Healthy Relationship With Food. Here are my 5 tips to help you in changing that!

1. Start practicing intuitive eating

People who have a steady ongoing healthy relationship with food most likely have intuitive eating down by nature. They may not even know what it is because it’s now an innate behavior.

Intuitive eating means that when you’re hungry you eat, and you stop once you feel satisfied. It allows you to go about your day freely not having to fixate your entire life around food. When you have this relationship with eating you don’t allow outside influences to dictate what time you eat, or what types of food you eat. We are actually born with this built into us, yet as adults over...
