Nourish, Eat, Repeat: A busy woman's guide to a healthier mind, body, and life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781733363907)

We all have crazy stories to share about life ... you know the ones we can laugh about later, but in the moment feel overwhelming, chaotic, or just plain insane? As a mom of 5 kids, I have the privilege of having a lot of these stories. I decided to take the humor of the moments and turn them into nutrition lessons we all can learn from. Most of my patients know exactly what they should do ... it's the execution part that trips them up.

Nourish, Eat, Repeat is a combination of stories from our crazy lives, supplemented with nutrition advice that is simple and practical, yet equally powerful and life-changing. It is a practical guide to help you navigate your way through the challenges of nutrition. This isn't a book about carbs, proteins, and fats, but rather a collection of tips and tools you can incorporate into your busy lifestyle right now. This is a book about execution.

As a mom and business owner, I know life can get chaotic at times. We all have the best intentions of doing the right thing, but sometimes time and energy get the best of us and we end up choosing the convenient road called survival. More times than not, food and health take a back seat to busyness and we are left feeling tired, sluggish, and depleted, both physically and mentally.

Be prepared for all of that to change because inside this book, you'll discover:

• Quick, easy, proven strategies to get your family to eat more vegetables

• How to take your kids to practice and feed them dinner without visiting the drive-thru

• Why I make my first graders pack their own lunches (and why you should too)

• Five vital eating habits that will ensure you never overeat a meal again

• Why meal planning and cooking on the same night is so hard (but doesn't have to be)

• How to revise your inner dialogue to evoke positive change

• Tried and true methods to avoid eating everything in your pantry after the kids go to bed

• How to eat healthy when traveling

• Why 10 minutes of movement is all you need to start an exercise habit

• The power of self-care and why it is a non-negotiable tactic to loving your family well

• Family-friendly recipes your kids will actually want to eat ... and more

Plus, Home Study Resources, including:

• 36 "Five Star" recipes for you to use right away (I call them "Five Star Recipes" because 5/5 of my kids enjoy them)

• 18 quick, easy exercises you can do each week to progress you along the process (each lesson gives you the choice of writing an affirmation, performing an easy action, inciting self-awareness through daily reflection, journaling, or weekly tracking)

• Label reading cheat sheet you can take with you to the grocery store
