I Tried Every “Healthy” Bread at the Store

Hey, Cleanish Squad! Since y’all loved the protein bars video — and I got a bunch of requests about healthy bread — I decided to head to the store and grab every “healthy” bread I could find. Some were great. Most were… not. I compared 12 different breads — sprouted, keto, low-calorie, whole grain — and looked at the labels to see which ones are actually worth buying. In this video, you’ll see: My honest take on each one What to look for on the label (without getting overwhelmed) The breads...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! Listen to me read this email to you :) I know it’s a little weird, but I can eat the same things every day and genuinely not get tired of them. Eventually, yes—I’ll hit a point where I need a switch—but it takes a while. And honestly? That’s been a huge gift. My life is just so much easier now that I’ve simplified this part. I used to crave tons of variety. I thought that was the only way to stick with healthy eating. But over time, I realized that too much variety was...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! Listen to me read this email to you :) This is actually the 50th recording I’ve shared with you—and I just want to say thank you for being here, for listening, and for letting me show up in your inbox each week. There was a time when I avoided anything that felt too uncomfortable—physically, emotionally, even socially. I can very clearly remember avoiding things when they got tough. If it felt intimidating, I found a reason to skip it. The problem was: I wasn’t just...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! I just got back from Sedona, where I pushed myself harder than I have in years...maybe ever. We hiked every day, explored trails I’d never seen before, and (without realizing it at the time) took on the hardest hike in all of Sedona. We also tried mountain biking for the first time. It was tough, and we almost bailed early—but we stuck with it, and by the end, we were all in. It challenged me physically and mentally—and honestly, I needed every second of it. Cleanish...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! Listen to me read this email to you. (This is the 50th one I’ve recorded—how fun is that? If you haven’t listened before, this is a great one to start with.) Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get said out loud enough: The fear of losing all your progress. That moment when you step on the scale, or try on clothes that used to fit, and you feel your heart drop. The shame creeps in. You start mentally re-tracking every meal, every snack, every missed workout. And maybe...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! This week’s video is one I’ve been wanting to make for a while. We’re talking about what happens when a clean, healthy brand gets bought out by a large corporation—and suddenly the ingredients, the mission, and even the vibe… start to shift. I’m walking through a few examples of brands I used to love (and still want to love), and what changed when they were acquired. This isn’t about fear or blame—it’s about being aware of what’s actually in our food and how to make...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! There was a time when I didn’t think about my meals at all. I’d grab whatever was quick, sounded good, or was right in front of me, without really checking in on what my body needed. Eventually, I realized I needed more structure. So I started tracking my meals—and it helped a lot. I learned how much I was actually eating (spoiler: it was too much) and what was missing (usually protein). That’s when meal prep started to change things for me. This Salmon Meal Prep was one...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! There’s this pressure out there to be perfect if you want to lose weight—hit your macros exactly, work out every day, never slip up. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to do everything perfectly to see results. In this week’s video, I share the mindset shift that helped me stop obsessing over perfect days and start focusing on what actually moves the needle—consistency, awareness, and getting back on track quickly.
