9.4 Friday Faves

9.4 Friday Faves Hiiii! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? The Pilot is home from a trip (YAY), and we’re just hanging out this long weekend. We’ve been traveling a ton lately (and were honestly looking forward to another short trip this weekend!) but I’m looking forward to a low-key weekend at home with the crew. Our friends are having a housewarming party, we’re going to see the new Spiderman movie and the kids are planning on swimming with friends. I’d love to hear what you’re up to! (Fun Farm Rio skirt from my last RTR shipment! ) I owe you guys a huge update, but I’ve been hard at work behind the scenes on my new coaching program. I’m completely revamping everything, adding in new support options and layers, and can’t wait to share it with you. For now, i’s time for the weekly Friday Faves roundup! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love hearing about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re lovi...

Myra Ahmad and the Health Entrepreneur’s Case Against One-Size-Fits-All Medicine

Myra Ahmad and the Health Entrepreneur’s Case Against One-Size-Fits-All Medicine Before Myra Ahmad was a founder, she was a researcher trying to answer a clinical question: why do patients with obesity keep failing to get the care they need? That research, conducted during her MD at the University of Washington School of Medicine and through positions at MIT’s Koch Institute and UCSF, is where her case against one-size-fits-all medicine actually starts. The company came later, as the applied answer to a diagnosis she’d already reached. What she found in that research was structural. Patients with obesity were bouncing between bariatric surgeons, endocrinologists, and primary care providers. None of them were treating the underlying disease. “Our healthcare system is optimized for billing codes rather than clinical outcomes,” she has said. “Patients bounce from specialist to specialist, yet no one seems to ‘own’ their care.” That’s a clinical observation before it...

Whole Foods Red Lentil Dal Soup (copycat recipe)

Whole Foods Red Lentil Dal Soup (copycat recipe) Sharing my version of the amazing Whole Foods red lentil dal soup, which is one of my very favorites. It’s gluten-free, dairy free, and a plant-based source of protein and nutrients.  Hi friends! How’s the week going so far? I’m in content creation mode for something new I’m working on and doing the usual school and sports scramble with the crew. Fall is officially in the air (jk it’s going to be like 100 here until November) but I like the pretend with a cozy bowl of soup. I have a mental list of quick grab-and-go meals that I can swoop in a pinch, are healthy, and that I really enjoy. Thankfully, Tucson has a lot of amazing healthy restaurants , which makes it pretty easy. If I find myself in a bind and hangry in between picking up kids and running errands, it’s nice to know I have some faves I can easily pick up. Whole Foods Red Lentil Dal Soup (copycat recipe) This is one of my favorite easy healthy pickup meal optio...
