I specialize in pregnancy and postpartum to come up with unique and individualized plans that address the root cause. I want to help you look your best, but also feel your best inside and out.
There are definitely some things I didn’t mention here, simply because nutrition can get more complex.
But for a lot of us, it starts with something very simple.
Building a proper plate.
That means:
• Some type of protein
• Some type of vegetable (sometimes subbing with a high-fiber fruit)
• Starches adjusted to your activity level
• And allowing fat to be a part of the meal — but not the main component
These are some of the most essential pieces in building a healthy lifestyle.
This is not a diet.
This is a lifestyle.
When you do this consistently, it allows your body to function better in so many ways.
Ideally, you’re building meals like this about 3–5 times per day.
Tracking calories can be helpful at times, but depending on where you are in life, it may or may not be what you need right now.
One of the best things you can do?
Learn how to build a healthy plate.
I go into this in much more depth in my new book,
Connect the Body Dots — The Guide to Holistically Understanding Your Health and Fitness, to Finally Find the Balance of Feeling, Functioning, and Looking Your Best.
I’ll drop the Amazon link in my story if you’d like to learn more.

Our blood level is usually saturated with oxygen at 95-100 percent at any given moment.
Additional deep breathes won't increase this nor does it need to. We get in oxygen from the air that we breath in. This oxygen will then go to our lungs where exchange happens and in goes into the blood. In this exchange CO2 (which is a byproduct of energy metabolism) will exit out of the body with our exhale. However we need CO2 in our body!
Over breathing decreases the amount of CO2 in our blood which limits the ability for hemoglobin to release oxygen into the brain, muscles, tissues, and vital organs... all the good stuff.
Over time our respiratory centers in our brain becomes accustomed to these levels of CO2 so it becomes normalized in our body and we stay in this state of over breathing.
Let's start off with keeping our months closed, reducing our sighs, and taking slower breaths.

People ask me: Aissa how do you like Florida?
I can’t believe I went my whole life being in Connecticut. I love the weather. I love seeing green. I love the palm trees. I love that I see people that are just more friendly and happy.
I am able to focus on my health, raising my daughter, being happy, educating people and following my dreams.
It’s such a blessing to be here, despite the fact before two weeks ago we never been here or knew a soul out here. All I can say is, guys, take the leap. If there’s something you always wanted to do, do it. Plan it out, but do it!
