2022-03-2840 minYour Health, SimplifiedObesity, Body Positivity and the Medical IndustryMy business coach asked me during one of our conversations if I felt I truly aligned with the body positive community or not. Great question! One that I still have not answered. But truth be told, it is not black and white. There are a lot of great things happen within this movement... and some that I just do not agree with it. Tune in as I discuss my own personal experiences and why I feel the way I do.

If you haven't already, go listen to episode 24 where I talk all about my search to find plus size leggings.
Okay, but the real topic today is how you can continue to prioritize your health in these unknown times. Gas prices are soaring which is also making food prices increase. It's not uncommon for many wives and moms to stop buying essential items for their health when finances are thrown out of balance. While that i...

2022-02-2810 minYour Health, SimplifiedThe Great Plus Size Legging Search of 2022If you follow me over on Instagram (@tiffstartsliving), you might have caught my recent review of several brands of leggings. Living in an active plus size body means I need fitness wear that is functional and actually fits a plus size body.

Unfortunately, we don't actually have time to wait. Kids are at home for 18+ years, careers last 30+ years.... that's decades of practicing poor health habits that you are going to have to "undo." Before you know it, you'll be in your 50's and 60's trying to get healthy but you're spending more and more time at the doctor because you've got lifestyle diseases/illnesses to manage. No Sis, you don't actually have time to...

2021-12-1314 minYour Health, SimplifiedDiscipline is Not a Dirty WordIt is time that we stop thinking that "being disciplined" is the same as enforcing punishment on ourselves. Especially when it comes to fitness and nutrition habits. We often see women bragging about how disciplined they are because they stuck to a very strict and unenjoyable diet throughout the holidays. They are using food as a form of punishment for their bodies not looking/feeling like they expect it to. That is not how I view discipline or how I want you to view discipline as you head out on your health journey. Tune in to today's episode to...
