Fitness, nutrition & everyday wellness

In Their Own Words
I'll be straight with you, I spent most of my twenties in pretty rough shape. Bad eating habits, no exercise, running on energy drinks and fast food like my body was a rental car I wasn't planning to return. Then my body started pushing back and my mom, you might know her she writes here too, would not stop leaving health articles on my kitchen counter. Literally every time I visited there'd be a new printout sitting there. I finally listened, made some changes, and they stuck.
Now I write about fitness and nutrition and everyday wellness stuff for people who just want to figure out what actually works without all the gatekeeping and bro-science that makes fitness feel like a club you need a password to get into. There is no "you should already know this" energy here. Whether you're stepping into a gym for the first time or you're just trying to figure out why you're tired all the time I'll meet you where you are. That's kind of the whole point.
I've tried every fad. Keto, intermittent fasting, cold plunges, all of it, and when I say all of it I mean I jumped into each one hard enough to actually know whether it does anything. The cold plunge thing was particularly awful, I did it for like three weeks and I think I just hated every second of it but kept going because some guy on a podcast said it would change my life and spoiler it did not. But I'll give you the honest version of what worked, what didn't and what the science actually supports. And when I'm not sure about the science? I call my mom. Dr. Jane Clarke, twenty years of clinical experience, and I'm not too proud to admit that her opinion matters more then mine sometimes.
No shame, meet you where you are.
