12 Tips for Eating Well & Feeling Good while on The Go

February 24, 2021 Yvonne Matthews

While this past year may have been a bit different, to say the least, many people still have to or choose to travel. And sooner or later, life will continue to move forward and while I wont say it’ll go back to “normal”, we will all start traveling again and be on the go.

I often get asked by clients and friends, how to stay healthy or on their diet when on the go or traveling. And while everyone must find their own unique answer, my general answer is to always enjoy yourself, whether you are traveling (plane, train or auto) for work, to see family or friends or vacation. Here are a few of my favorite ways to feel good and eat well on the go. Like always, please take what you wish and leave the rest.

Balancing Hormones Series – Healing Hormonal Acne for Glowy Clear Skin

September 18, 2018 Yvonne Matthews

This is a very personal post for me. This is where huge change started for me and really how I got to where I am now.

I’ve posted the detailed story here and here. But the short version is that back when I was in high school I was put on birth control to help alleviate the debilitating cramps that came with my period plus the teenage acne that embarrassed me so much. About 14 years later, in 2012, I had a steady partner (now husband) and decided to try getting off the only prescription medication I was on, not to get pregnant, but simply because I kept reading more and more how it wasn’t great for women to be on these synthetic hormones and not have a Real monthly cycle. Little did I know what I was in for! All that hormonal acne from my teens came rushing back, along with the total embarrassment and shame. How could I, a seemingly healthy 20-something year old, STILL have a face full of acne!?!?

Foundations of Nutrition - A Balanced Approach

September 12, 2018 Yvonne Matthews

Sometimes starting is the hardest part. I hear it all the time from my clients. And honestly, I go through it too. For me, I have found that creating a plan and taking that initial baby step forward is the best (and maybe only) way out of this sometimes-paralyzing place. I teach a 2-hour workshop on just this topic. And it’s always one of my favorites. So, I wanted to share today an easy step-by-step plan to building your foundation of nutrition and health.

So often we get caught up in the latest research or article on fish oil supplements, or this mushroom powder, or that one antioxidant rich fruit. It can get overwhelming and disorienting. Where do you start?
