Hello, Cleanish Squad! Click here to listen to me read this email for you. First, I want to thank all of you who responded to my last email about our new adventure. If you didn't hear, my family and I have decided to sell our home in Austin and travel the United States in our RV over the next year. (Yep, that means Dustin, me, our four kiddos, and two dogs!). I loved reading your recommendations on where we should visit along our journey. I also really appreciated your requests for the type...

Hey there, Cleanish Squad! Click here to listen to me read this email for you. I've been meaning to share a personal update with you. 🙂 As you know, our family loves to travel and go on adventures, and this may be the biggest one yet! Dustin and I have decided to sell our home in Austin and travel around the United States with the kids for the next year. I have always wanted to do this, and I think now is the perfect time to take that leap while the kids are all still living at home. Our...

Hi, Cleanish Squad! It’s that time of year again, friends. When pumpkin takes over EVERYTHING. The wind starts having a little chill. The leaves start changing. The fireplaces start getting used again. Fall is simply perfection. I love moments in each season, but Fall just seems to have the most special moments, you know? Like how pumpkin pie spice takes over everything, from pumpkin spice lattes to pumpkin raisin bread to pumpkin cheesecakes to…ICE CREAM. Yep. Ice Cream. With healthy pumpkin...

Hi there, Cleanish Squad! Listen to the audio version of this email here. Last week, I shared my frustration about the fear-mongering about health and wellness on social media. Many of you replied, agreeing it's getting worse and thankful for the Cleanish approach as a reasonable and achievable lifestyle. (As you can imagine, I immensely enjoyed reading those replies!) Today, as I near my 42nd birthday on Wednesday in the beautiful Big Bend National Park, I find myself reflecting on my...

Hi, Cleanish Squad! I've got a short and sweet newsletter today as I'm prepping for a birthday trip to Big Bend National Park with the family—I can't wait! I wanted to discuss something I've noticed on social media and the news more and more that's gotten me concerned. Does it feel like, lately, you can't do anything right for your health, even when you're trying so hard? Like, you keep hearing... You can't use aluminum foil because it leaches heavy metals into your foods... You can't buy...

Hi, Cleanish Squad! Listen to the audio version of this email here. So much about weight loss and dieting is about what you CAN’T have that it can make you feel like you have to give up everything you love to lose weight. But that's not the truth. When I tried dieting that way, I failed. Instead, I want to flip that around and focus on 10 foods you should eat every single day. These are foods I included daily to lose weight and are part of what made me so happy to enjoy my healthy lifestyle....

Happy Monday, Cleanish Squad! Listen to the email here (I even read through the recipe!) Over the past several weeks, I'm happy to share I've been busy creating, testing, and photographing new meal prep recipes for the next 30-Day Healthy. The question I get asked most often about the program is, "Are there new recipes?" and I can finally say, "Yes!" While creating a brand new 30-day meal plan is a big undertaking and a lot of work, I've really enjoyed the process, and I'm proud of the...

Hi there, Cleanish Squad! Listen to the email here. We've got a new Q&A today with tons of great questions. But, first... Are y'all watching the Olympics? If so, hopefully, you'll get a chuckle out of this meme I shared recently on Instagram... Now, I don't normally follow sharpshooting in the Olympics, but I love how Yusuf Dikeç (on the right) showed up and took care of business this way. You can see this post on Instagram, too. This clear contrast of keeping it simple versus going overboard...
