Yes, you have it (and it’s affecting everything). Almost everyone has inflammation for one reason or another, and if you haven’t done anything yet to heal it, you can bet it’s there. Inflammation is caused over time from all sorts of things (like sugar, processed foods, unhealthy fats, stress) and even from doing things we once thought were healthy (like consuming whole grains like bread, pasta, cereal) or using vegetable oils (which, by the way, aren’t even made from vegetables!). The problem is that inflammation compounds overtime and accumulates in your body.  Some clues that your body ..read more

When was the last time you change your oil filter in your car? And what even is an oil filter? All I know is that my dad and my brothers told me that I need to do that regularly. I’ve learned the hard way that if I don’t then bad things happen to my car. I’m no mechanic, and I don’t quite understand how it works. But I do know that’s true. And the same is actually true for detoxing your body.  Now before I throw out that big word, let me just tell you my name is Cassie and I’ve helped hundreds of women lose weight and keep it off. One thing that I’ve found that breaks my heart is that ..read more

I was speaking at an event last weekend and I got the question, “What are your best tips for increasing energy?” Immediately I dished out my top 3 tips for energy, and I realized that these are the same 3 things I do for increased brain power! I love quick and easy hacks that can improve your day and life, and I can’t wait to hear how these work for you! My Top 3 Tips to Increase Energy & Brain Power Throughout Your Day: 1. Eat half an avocado upon waking.  At first I started doing this as a way to increase the absorption of the vitamins I take in the morning, and I quickly real ..read more

Happy 2019! One of my favorite things to do at the beginning of the year is to reflect on the past year before diving into the new. I write down everything that happened the past year—everything I learned, the ups and downs… all of it. As I’ve been reflecting on 2018, I’ve summed it up into 4 lessons learned, and wanted to share those with you today. 1. Letting go of Hidden Anchors Holding You Back (the power of letting go) I entered 2018 with a bang when I kissed my dietitian license goodbye. You may remember this tale: After nearly 6 years of battling the board of Nutrition & Dietetics ..read more

You think weight loss is about food? It’s not. I have helped thousands of women and men to lose weight. And at the beginning of the process, they all share a few thoughts and traits. See if you can relate to any of these, too: You don’t like how you look You avoid getting your picture taken; or you know your “slim” poses You have a closet full of clothes you can’t wear You feel tired a lot You have tried working out You have tried cutting calories You have tried everything You’ve followed the rules. You’ve read the blogs. You’ve bought the supplements. Cooked the food. You feel you should b ..read more

Our bodies are designed to move. We were never meant to sit still all day, and when we get ourselves moving, we feel better in every way. Our circulation and oxygen intake both improve, it revs up our metabolism, we feel happier and more mentally clear and we get stronger, fitter, and more comfortable in our bodies and clothes. But the tricky thing is, exercise can also make us feel, well, awful — especially when we exercise without the right fuel. Maybe you went into a workout on an empty stomach. Maybe you hit the gym on a belly full of muffins and coffee. Maybe you had a bad week of eating ..read more

If there’s one misguided “rule” about food that my team and I hear from clients again and again (and again), it’s this: AVOID EATING BEFORE BED. This food rule is so ingrained it approaches the level of a commandment: Thou shalt not eat after 7pm or 10pm or midnight, lest you gain ten pounds in the night and trolls haunt all of your dreams. The (awful, terrible, completely false) myth is that a snack before bed puts extra calories in your stomach that sit there and somehow multiply into extra fat on your thighs. I HATE this myth. It is flat-out wrong. Skipping your bedtime snack is what can c ..read more
