This is what I found illuminating đź’ˇ in my ongoing exploration of food, weight, life satisfaction, and body comfort.Â
I think of what I do as holistic, but that word has been co-opted by companies that never address the full life circumstances that keep us stuck in unhealthy behaviors.

Food processing we barely think about, but should.
My Dad and I went to brunch last Sunday. Not something I do a lot because brunch is generally a hot mess of sugar and alcohol. I knew I'd skip the highly processed items like waffles or pancakes and opt for an omelet.Â
That's from two long-standi...
If you’ve ever felt like you “failed” intuitive eating, this one’s for you.
It’s easy to fall in love with the promise: what if the solution to decades of dieting, emotional eating, or weight cycling was as simple as listening to your hunger and honoring your fullness?
No points, no macros, no w...
I’m back from ten days of gorging myself on paella, tapas, and Iberian ham (and not gaining even a pound). I know it sounds like a bougie statement of the obvious, but the noticeable absence of obesity in that country astounds me. Even the most rural towns have a patisserie on every block. I gue...
I did a thing!
The reactions you get when you tell people you're buying a motorcycle are evenly split between excitement and horror. Truth be told, I think I feel both, but I love big experiences, so I got it. I'll be cruising this baby through the mountains this summer—hopefully, long stretche...

Some great reads while you observe yourself with alcohol 🍷
Last week, I published part one (of two) on alcohol with some questions to spark curiosity about yourself. This examination is a f...
I hated dieting. That part, you probably know.
But why? It wasn't that I was unwilling to eat differently or even somewhat less. It was the labor diets required (and the attendant joylessness).Â
What's interesting about modern dieting (and the truth is, all diets are modern because the under...
