Hi, I’m Erin!

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by nutrition.

In 2018, I was two years postpartum with my second son and feeling really stuck. Although I was working out consistently, I still felt puffy and my clothes didn’t fit well. I was also experiencing gas and bloat after most meals, and the afternoon energy crash was happening daily. In hindsight, I’d been living with these issues long before having babies.

After hearing about Whole30 - an elimination diet that requires you to omit sugar, gluten, dairy, soy, legumes, alcohol, and processed food for 30 days - my husband and I decided to commit. It changed everything.

Prior to taking on this challenge, I was convinced I couldn’t cook. My idea of making a family dinner was an occasional veggie stir-fry or a vegan sausage heated in the microwave with a side of raw veggies and some tortilla chips.

Whole30 forced me out of my comfort zone - I had to cook in order to make sure I remained compliant. After a few weeks, I really started to enjoy cooking, and it has since become one of my most favorite pastimes and creative outlets. But the most profound change was the way my body felt! My jeans fit better, bloating and gas were greatly reduced, and I was no longer yawning my way to dinnertime.
