Self Love After Weight Gain: How To Change Your Mindset, Not Your Dress Size

February 21, 2018 By jaclyn 9 Comments

self love after weight gainSelf love after weight gain is tough, it requires a deep mindset shift and today I am sharing four mindeset shifts that I hope will inspire you to learn to show yourself love no matter what. We are more than half way through February, the month after January otherwise known as Diet-uary. Uhhhmmm, did I just make that up, yes, yes I did. But you know how it goes, January is the month where many attempt to start new healthy habits, diet and of course lose weight. The obsession with weight loss is so real which is why the weight loss industry is a billion dollar business. They work because they prey on your emotions, your fears and society’s unbelievable and unattainable standards of beauty. If January is national diet month, then February is love month, with Valentine’s Day and all. But, what if instead of focusing all our love on things, we turned that inwards and focused on self love. Learning how to show yourself love after weight gain is one of the hardest but most rewarding things I learned how to do. I want to share some mindset shifts that really made self love after weight gain possible….

Advice to My Younger Self

January 7, 2018 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

I really wanted to write a post with advice to my younger self to share lessons I have learned over the past 34(!!) years. Seeing as it is the new year and my birthday, I thought it would be a great time to do so. If I think back to my 20-year old self, I don’t think I would recognize her as the same person. Even if I think back only 8-10 years, I still would not be able to recognize that person. So much happened in my mid to late 20’s and it really did change my life forever. But if I had the opportunity to give advice to my younger self, I have a few things that I would like to say.

What is Self Care And Why It Matters

November 30, 2017 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

what is self careSelf care seems to be gaining a lot of traction in the health and wellness space. And the health and wellness space just keeps on growing, but what is self care exactly? I love that self care is getting some much needed attention, but I think that it can become a little muddled in what it really means to practice self care. Sure, taking a bath in water dusted with rose petals and fancy spas are all great options, but they ignore some of the bigger things. The truth is that sometimes self care isn’t at all Instagram worthy….

My 30 Day Yoga Challenge: What I Learned

November 3, 2017 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

30 Day Yoga ChallengeFor the month of October, I challenged myself to a 30 day yoga challenge, including Pilates along the way. I have done yoga many, many times over the years, but I’ve never committed to doing it on a nearly daily basis. Plus, in the past whenever I did commit to any type of exercise it was always for the wrong reasons, like I thought that I “got fat.” Even when I was practicing yoga, I was so busy judging myself and comparing my body to others in class that I didn’t get much out of it. I knew that this time, I wanted to do things differently… …

Why the term cheat days is a myth…

April 21, 2017 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Growing up as a young woman, I did as many women do, which is over analyze everything about my diet and my looks. I worked out too hard some days to the point of exhaustion and then felt that I had earned the right to have a massive “cheat day” filled with all the foods I swore off during the week. Somehow, I thought that everything would balance each other out and the “healthy” eating I was doing most days outweighed the bag of chips and chocolate and pizza I would eat later. Funnily enough though, nutrition and life don’t work like that. Find out why the term cheat days is a myth…

What A Nutritionist Eats: New Series Coming

April 17, 2017 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

What a Nutritionist EatsBefore becoming a Holistic Nutritionist, I was never asked “what do you eat” by so many people. Truthfully, I didn’t really pay much attention to what I ate in a day either, but now its something that I am asked about often, so I thought it would be a good idea to share. I have a few stipulations about this series because I never want to make anyone feel a certain way about what I am choosing to eat or not eat. So, although these are all foods and meals that I eat in a normal day, this is done to inspire you, not bring you down or make you feel “less than” about your meals. Keep in mind that I don’t always eat optimal all the time either, sometimes, I have nachos and guac for dinner. So here it is, this is what a nutritionist eats!…

But I don’t want to rely on commercial toothpastes to get that look as they often have fluoride or other chemicals in them that personally I prefer not to have. So what is a girl to do? I have been following this ancient Ayurvedic technique called oil pulling to clean my mouth and at the same time, it has been whitening and brightening my teeth! Let’s discuss what this is, how it works and how you can do it too.
