Hey, Cleanish Squad! I just got back from Sedona, where I pushed myself harder than I have in years...maybe ever. We hiked every day, explored trails I’d never seen before, and (without realizing it at the time) took on the hardest hike in all of Sedona. We also tried mountain biking for the first time. It was tough, and we almost bailed early—but we stuck with it, and by the end, we were all in. It challenged me physically and mentally—and honestly, I needed every second of it. Cleanish...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! Listen to me read this email to you. (This is the 50th one I’ve recorded—how fun is that? If you haven’t listened before, this is a great one to start with.) Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get said out loud enough: The fear of losing all your progress. That moment when you step on the scale, or try on clothes that used to fit, and you feel your heart drop. The shame creeps in. You start mentally re-tracking every meal, every snack, every missed workout. And maybe...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! This week’s video is one I’ve been wanting to make for a while. We’re talking about what happens when a clean, healthy brand gets bought out by a large corporation—and suddenly the ingredients, the mission, and even the vibe… start to shift. I’m walking through a few examples of brands I used to love (and still want to love), and what changed when they were acquired. This isn’t about fear or blame—it’s about being aware of what’s actually in our food and how to make...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! There was a time when I didn’t think about my meals at all. I’d grab whatever was quick, sounded good, or was right in front of me, without really checking in on what my body needed. Eventually, I realized I needed more structure. So I started tracking my meals—and it helped a lot. I learned how much I was actually eating (spoiler: it was too much) and what was missing (usually protein). That’s when meal prep started to change things for me. This Salmon Meal Prep was one...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! There’s this pressure out there to be perfect if you want to lose weight—hit your macros exactly, work out every day, never slip up. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to do everything perfectly to see results. In this week’s video, I share the mindset shift that helped me stop obsessing over perfect days and start focusing on what actually moves the needle—consistency, awareness, and getting back on track quickly.

Hey, Cleanish Squad! This week’s video was such a fun project. I tested 35 different protein bars—scoring them on taste, ingredients, macros, and overall quality—to find out which ones are actually worth it. It took a lot of time and a lot of taste-testing, but I loved diving into this and putting it together for you. Click here to watch If you’ve ever wandered the protein bar aisle feeling overwhelmed (been there!), this video will give you a clear breakdown of the best options—and a few I...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! Listen to me read this email to you. If you’d told me in my 20s that strength training would become my favorite way to stay fit, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. Back then, I thought fitness meant cardio, burning calories, and shrinking down. I also thought lifting was for men—not something I needed. I’m so thankful I stopped listening to that voice in my head. When I started, it was simple—a few dumbbells, some resistance bands, and bodyweight exercises at home....

Hey, Cleanish Squad! This time of year can be sneaky hard. It’s not quite the fresh start of January anymore. Spring break or, now, Easter might’ve thrown off your routine, and summer’s just around the corner, which brings that “I should be further along by now” pressure. Even if nothing major has happened, a lot of people feel a little “off” right now—like they’ve lost momentum but don’t quite know how to get it back. If that’s you, I want you to know this: You don’t need to start over. You...
