1. You’re not doing enough. Yes, I said it. Tough love here…but if you want to see change, you have to be willing to work for it. That means making exercise, nutrition, sleep, etc. a daily priority. Half effort equals half results. If you’re not getting anywhere ask, “How intense are my workouts? How much am I moving every day? Am I being truly diligent with my food intake? Am I sleeping? Oh, and how are my hormone levels?!”

2. You’re doing too much. Yes, there can be too much of a good thing. Over-exercising, not eating enough, pushing yourself to the max and being obsessive over your health can backfire. This causes excessive stress & will hinder results! You don’t need to always do MORE, but it’s about being smart and efficient with your efforts.

3. You’re STRESSED. Stress raises cortisol, adrenaline and inflammatory markers within the body. These pause any progress you want because the body is SMART and will prioritize putting out the STRESS fire before it will even attempt to lose weight, improve your energy levels or regulate your period! And remember that stress can be chemical, environmental, physical, mental or emotional.

4. You don’t give it enough time. Do you have “Wellness ADD?” Giving yourself only a few days or weeks on a certain plan and expect drastic results is setting yourself up for failure. Results take TIMEEEEE. You have to be consistent and give something AT LEAST 4-6 weeks and then assess if it is the right plan for you.

5. Nothing is Personal. Are you following your friend’s workout plan? Did you grab your current macros from a website or magazine? Are you trying this new diet because it worked for your sister? There is no cookie cutter one size fits all …and if a coach wants to tell you there is, then run the other way.

Acknowledge and be honest with what could be holding you back: What COULD you be doing better?

Brainstorm ways to work smarter, not necessarily more.

Determine what stressors in your life you can remove and reduce, and decide on some healthy ways to manage & relieve the stress you do have.

Determine a set time frame of at least 4 weeks to be consistent. Create a routine that you follow so that you aren’t yo-yoing back and forth.

One of the biggest barriers I encounter with almost ALL of my clients is they struggle with a perfectionist, all or nothing mentality.

They’re motivated and can stick with something for a few weeks. But as soon as something happens (travel, work, family, kids, stress) and they can’t do it “perfect”, they don’t do it at all. This slippery slope lands so many (women) feeling discouraged, because they didn’t have a back up plan, or daily habits in place, to keep them going despite the challenges.

It’s simple but not always easy. But that is why myself (and other health professionals) exist. To help you bridge the gap of knowing what to do, then DOING it, keeping you accountable so it doesn’t just become a short lived “program”.

So I’m not gonna tell you how or what to eat, exercise, supplements etc – because those should be done on a more personalized basis anyways!

Have a “plan” that is right for you at this chapter of your life

That plan should include all aspects of your health & wellness (a functional medicine approach!)

The “plan”? Should be focused more of lifestyle habits and routine that you enjoy & can maintain

You don’t need to do this alone. Let me take the guesswork & let’s work through these factors together!

I work with those who are frustrated, tried different things and are ready to look, feel and function at their best. 

If you feel STUCK and ready to try a different approach, then it’s TIME TO CHAT!
