In the News

Processed foods are designed to keep you coming back for more—at the cost of your health.

But a new study shows that with the right support, people can cut their processed food intake nearly in half in just 8 weeks.

That also translated to:

✔ Less sugar

✔ Easier weight loss

✔ More energy

The support participants got in this study included nutrition education, strategies to deal with cravings, and meal planning. 

These are things I do all the time with my clients, and it’s great to see specific research backing it up.

Pro Health Tip

Stress is tricky. 

It feels like it comes from the mind, but imbalances in your body can make you feel even more stressed. For example:

Blood sugar swings.

Blood sugar crashes can spike cortisol, drain your energy, and disrupt your mood and sleep.

Some things you can do to keep your blood sugar stable for more stress resilience:

✔️ Start the day with protein & healthy fat (not just sugar!)

✔️ Avoid skipping meals (low blood sugar = cortisol trigger)

✔️ Pair carbs with protein or fiber to slow the glucose spike

✔️ Reduce ultra-processed foods that lead to energy crashes

You can’t control every stressor in life—but you can strengthen your body’s ability to handle stress better.
