Vitality is my new signature wellness programed designed for burned out moms who want more joy, optimal health, and vitality in their life.

Hi friends! Happy Wednesday! I hope you’re enjoying the week so far. It’s been a good one over here. I got to sing again for the first time in a long time, had an eye specialist appointment, and have made some tasty dinners for the crew. We’re back in the swing of dance in addition to school, so I’ve been trying to make super quick meals. Ina Garten tomato soup, grilled cheese, and salad tonight!

For today’s post, I’m excited to share my new program with you. It’s called Vitality and the content goes live on August 28th. It’s self-paced, so you can learn at your own time, spread your wings and fly. Or, you can join with a testing option to include two foundational at-home lab tests. This also includes two calls with me to go over your results and craft your personalized action plan. Check out all of the details here.

I really wanted to create something new using my IHP certifications, and when I was thinking about who I wanted to serve, I thought of the older version of myself. I had teeny kids, was completely overwhelmed, and on the inside, I felt the worst I had in a long time.

I’ve come a long way in my personal health journey, especially over the past few years. While I share a piece of my life on the internet, it’s definitely not the whole pie, and I’ve experienced various hurdles and obstacles over the years.

(I want to give this version of myself a big hug. I had such a great mindset, but I was struggling on the inside in so many different ways.)

I’m here to tell you I know exactly what it feels like…

• To wake up from a full night’s sleep feeling completely exhausted
• To feel irritable, anxious and moody throughout the day
• To want to scream… but holding it inside
• To have zero libido and feel like a shell of myself
• To have horrible PMS symptoms, heavy cycles, and horrible cramps
• To toss and turn all night with anxious thoughts, unable to stop the wheels from spinning
• To feel like I need caffeine and sugar to make it through the day
• To be completely frustrated because I was working out, eating well, and not making any performance or physical improvements from my efforts
• To feel completely depleted on all fronts… but “muscling” through the days, knowing that so many others depend on me

If you’re feeling this way, I’m here to tell you that you’re not alone. There are so many women out there who feel exactly like you do.

guiltless chicken pesto pizza

Pizza is one of those foods I thought I had to give up when I was trying to lose weight, but it’s not true! I just had to learn how to make recipes like this so i could enjoy my favorites without the extra grease and excess junk.

That’s exactly why I created my Guiltless Recipe ebook. It has over 135 guilt-free recipes (including desserts & cocktails!) plus everything I learned over 2 years to help you create a healthy, balanced lifestyle you love.

My guiltless Chicken Pest pizza was one of the first pizza’s I made (after trying it at healthier takeout spot) and is still my go-to when I get a pizza craving so let me show you how it’s done👇🏻

Guiltless Chicken Pesto Pizza

Ingredients:

• 1 pre-made cauliflower crust (or your crust of choice)
• 1/2 cup of your favorite pesto sauce (I use my lemon-pesto from my Guiltless Recipe Ebook)
• Grilled chicken breast, thinly sliced (because protein is a must)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved or 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 1/2 onion, gilled
• Crumbled feta cheese
• Fresh basil leaves
• A pinch of crushed red pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C). While that’s heating up, sprinkle a touch of flour on a clean surface and roll out your pizza dough into your desired shape. It’s your pizza canvas – get creative!
2. Spread the Flavor: Grab that pesto sauce and generously slather it all over your pizza dough. Think of it as your guilt-free flavor foundation.
3. Chicken Power: Lay out those thinly sliced grilled chicken pieces on top of the pesto-covered canvas. Protein boost? Check!
4. Tasty Tomato Distribute those halved cherry tomatoes and onion all over.
5. Gimme that Crunch: Sprinkle those delightful pine nuts all around for a texture that’s nutty and nice.
6. Feta Frenzy: Time to introduce the star of the show – crumbled feta cheese. Sprinkle it generously over the pizza, adding that creamy and tangy punch we all adore.
7. Into the Oven: Slide your pizza into the preheated oven and let the magic unfold. About 12-15 minutes should do the trick, resulting in a golden crust and melty cheese perfection.
8. Basil Beauty: Once your pizza emerges from the oven looking on point, sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves on top.
9. Embrace Guilt-Free Goodness: Slicer it up and remember, this is a

Sharing the details about Zone 2 cardio, how to use it, and how often to implement it in your routine.

Hi hi! How are you? Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We had ice cream sundaes at my dads, went to a birthday party and sushi, and took the kids roller skating. I also successfully conquered the first week of school laundry pile and got some things together for this week’s launch. All of the details about my new program will be here on the blog this Wednesday!

For today’s post, I thought we’d chat a little about Zone 2 cardio. You may have heard more about Zone 2 recently, as it’s been touted as a longevity tool by popular online biohackers. I’ve always been a fan of Zone 2 for the mental benefits and more sustainable pace, so I’m sharing the details on this training tool and how to use it in your routine. (As always, talk to a doctor before making any fitness changes.)

All about Zone 2 cardio and how to use it in your routine

In the world of fitness, we often hear about high-intensity interval training (HIIT), weightlifting, and various heart-pounding workouts that promise quick results. While these methods have their merits, there’s another fitness gem that’s been quietly working its magic – Zone 2 cardio. If you’re looking for a sustainable, fat-burning, and heart-healthy approach to exercise, Zone 2 cardio might just be the game-changer you’ve been seeking.

What is Zone 2 Cardio?

Zone 2 cardio is a training method that focuses on exercising within a specific heart rate zone, typically around 60-70% of your maximum heart rate. This zone is often referred to as the “aerobic zone,” where your body efficiently uses oxygen to burn fat for fuel. Unlike higher-intensity workouts that primarily rely on carbohydrates, Zone 2 cardio taps into your body’s fat stores, making it an effective strategy for weight management and endurance building.

The Beauty of Low(er) and Slow(er):

Picture this: a steady, moderate-paced jog or a brisk walk where you can comfortably hold a conversation. That’s the essence of Zone 2 cardio. It’s about embracing a lower intensity that allows you to sustain the activity for extended periods without feeling exhausted. This approach not only boosts your cardiovascular fitness but also fosters a healthy relationship with exercise – one that you can stick with over the long haul.

Benefits of Zone 2:

Zone 2 cardio goes beyond the physical burn; it delivers a host of benefits that can transform your overall well-being.

Here’s a glimpse of some of the potential benefits:

1. Fat Burning and Weight Management: By training your body to rely on fat for energy, Zone 2 cardio can be an effective tool for shedding excess pounds and maintaining a healthy weight.

2. Enhanced Endurance: Regular sessions in Zone 2 can improve your aerobic capacity, enabling you to go the distance with ease and conquer physical challenges. If you’re training for endurance races or events, Zone 2 training can be a critical piece of your training.

3. Heart Health: Zone 2 cardio is a gentle way to potentially strengthen your heart, reduce blood pressure, and enhance circulation, all of which can contribute to a healthier cardiovascular s
