I had some crazy “who luck” on this project and I also learned some great lessons along the way...

Let’s wrap this up with how to be a contender, how to navigate social gatherings and some thoughts on how what brought you here can’t keep you here or...get you there!

One of the things I’m known for as a coach is what some might call tough love. In this halfway point check in, I ask you to honestly dig down and consider some your answers to the ASSESSment questions of NOURISH.

Healthy people cook. If you can read or watch a video, you too can learn to cook!

First, you cannot out train a poor diet. And, sleep is more important than exercise. That being said, I am a fitness coach with a thriving fitness business. So, let’s talk about exercise.

Lights out for sleep! Never, ever give up on your quest for a good night’s sleep.

How are you? Let’s check in and ask the all important ASSESSment questions of NOURISH.

Sugar is a nutrient-dead substance. But, it tastes good, right? Have a listen to learn more about how too much sugar is potentially making us fat, sleepless, sexless and surly.

Are you getting enough fibre? And, are you getting your fibre from low sugar sources? We need fibre to feed the food bacteria in our guts, the kind that keep us healthy. Listen to learn more about fibre choices to serve you.

Contrary to what you might be thinking, NOURISH is not anti-carb. NOURISH is about choosing the right carbs for y-o-u. Carbs are NOT the enemy! But not all carbs are created equal.

Something is wrong with our low fat diets and it’s showing up everywhere! Fat is a macronutrient and we need it to not only survive but to thrive. Listen to learn more.

Protein: Are you getting enough? Are you eating too much?

A calorie is NOT a calorie. What? Caloric ranges are subject to change as life changes. What are you getting for what you are eating...?

First, change nothing! And, TRACK your food and water. The hydration lesson starts at [06:15]. Learn why water is absolutely essential to thrive and some tips to help you stay hydrated.

You can only change what you acknowledge. Ready to establish your starting point physically and mentally? Plus, here are some handy tools for your NOURISH journey.

Welcome to NOURISH—your comprehensive solution to reclaiming nutritional and energetic prosperity. Forget about fridge lists, forbidden foods and skipping cake on your birthday! Instead, NOURISH and bless the venture and joys of daily living—for you.

Join me as I wrap-up Season 2 with a thank you and look back, thus far, at the evolution of The Point Is podcast. Plus, I share what is coming for Season 3! (Pssst...I made an audio book, à la podcast-style, and I’m dropping it all at once, very soon!)
