Healthi Talks

Grocery shopping on a health journey doesn't have to wreck your budget. Courtney and Chris Conway are talking about simple ways to spend less, waste less, and shop smarter—from planning meals around what's already at home to avoiding impulse buys, shopping sales, and knowing when fresh, frozen, or canned foods offer the best value.It's all about getting more from the grocery budget while still bringing home foods that support your goals.

What if managing stress, anxiety, and emotional eating isn't about adding another rule to follow?In this episode, Lisa, Healthi's Head Coach, introduces EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), or tapping, and explores how it may help calm the nervous system, release tension, and create a different response to stress and cravings.

There's a lot nobody tells you about losing weight—and Courtney and Chris still have plenty to talk about.

Why does the first cool day suddenly make soup, fresh bread, a blanket, and an early night sound so good? Fall changes more than the weather. Darker evenings, familiar smells, seasonal traditions, and nostalgia can all shape what feels comforting—including the foods they crave. This week, Ashley dives into why comfort hits differently this time of year, the emotional side of eating, and why enjoying comfort food doesn't automatically mean something needs to be “fixed.”Sometimes cozy is just cozy.

Did you know? Sleep starts long before bedtime. Healthi's Head Coach Lisa shares simple daytime and evening habits to calm your nervous system, stabilize cravings, and help you sleep more deeply—without perfectionism or a complete lifestyle overhaul.

The meal plans, the workouts, the before-and-after photos—we've all seen that side of weight loss. But what about the stuff nobody really talks about?Loose skin. Stretch marks. Clothes that suddenly fit in the weirdest ways. The unsolicited comments, unexpected body changes, and all the little surprises that can come with losing weight.Courtney and Chris Conway are getting real about the side of weight loss that doesn't always make it into the success story. Expect honest conversations, real experiences, plenty of laughs, and zero filters.If you've ever thought, “Wait… nobody told me THIS would happen,” this episode is for you.

What if the scale disappeared tomorrow?No number to tell you whether you're making progress. No weekly weigh-in to determine whether you had a “good” week or a “bad” one. You'd have to start paying attention to everything else that's changing along the way.In this episode of The Healthi Life, Ashley talks about how much of our health journey can become wrapped around a number, and what happens when we start looking beyond the scale for evidence that our hard work is paying off. From energy and confidence to habits, strength, clothes, and the way you feel in your everyday life, there are so many signs of progress that a scale simply can't measure.

What if your “bad habits” around sleep, stress, and food aren't a lack of discipline, but your nervous system trying to cope? In Sleep Part 2, Lisa, Healthi's Head Coach, breaks down revenge bedtime procrastination, decision fatigue, nighttime anxiety, counterfeit rest, and sleep perfectionism.If you're scrolling past bedtime, reaching for takeout after a stressful day, or waking up at 3:15 a.m. with a racing mind, this conversation will hit home. Lisa explains why exhausted brains rebel at night and how understanding your nervous system can help replace shame with insight—and make real rest feel possible.

Are “superfoods” really as super as we've been led to believe?

What if the story you keep telling yourself is actually shaping your health journey?Today, Ashley dives into the way our beliefs, past experiences, and the things we repeatedly say about ourselves can influence the choices we make today.This episode is a reminder that your past behavior isn't your identity, and one difficult day doesn't get to write the rest of your story. Ashley talks about how to recognize the labels you've placed on yourself, create a more realistic and supportive mindset, and start building evidence for a new story through the choices you make every day.Sometimes change starts before the food, the workout, or the number on the scale. Sometimes it starts with the way you talk to yourself.

Stress, poor sleep, and weight loss don't always play nicely together. Lisa, Healthi's Head Coach, breaks down how chronic stress and lack of sleep can affect hunger, cravings, energy, and progress on the scale. If you've been doing “everything right” but still feel stuck, this conversation may give you a whole new perspective on the role of rest and recovery.

Life gets chaotic—but your healthy habits don't have to disappear with it.

Emotional eating isn't always about willpower. Sometimes, it's what happens when you're exhausted, stressed, overwhelmed, or simply trying to get through a really long day.

The conversation continues in Part 2 of Monday Talks! The Conways dive deeper into accountability and support, discussing how to ask for help, find the right people in your corner, and balance encouragement with tough love.

Starting a health journey with a burst of motivation can feel amazing. You're ready to change everything, set big goals, clean out the kitchen, work out every day, and finally do things “right.” But when the plan requires that much intensity to keep going, it can become difficult to maintain once real life gets involved. In this episode, Ashley talks about why starting smaller and leaving room for real life may actually be the smarter way to build lasting change.

In this episode of Lisa's Corner, Head Coach Lisa takes an honest look at emotional eating and the moments when food becomes about more than hunger. From late-night trips to the pantry after a long, exhausting day to the guilt that often follows, Lisa breaks down why these behaviors are deeply human—and not a sign that you lack discipline or willpower.

In her final episode of Mindful Moments, Coach Delicia shares why she is stepping back from the podcast to prioritize her postpartum health, her family, and her son. A heartfelt, encouraging discussion on living out "vertical alignment" and knowing when to choose peace over productivity. ✨

Let's be honest, sometimes knowing what to do isn't the hard part. It's actually doing it when motivation is low, life gets busy, or you just don't feel like showing up. That's where accountability and support can make all the difference.

There's always a reason to wait. Work is busy, the kids need you, summer is coming, vacation is around the corner, or maybe you're telling yourself you'll feel more motivated next Monday. The problem is that life rarely clears the schedule and hands you a perfect opportunity to start.In this episode, Ashley talks about why we keep waiting for the “right” time to take care of ourselves and how waiting can turn into another form of procrastination. You'll hear why starting in the middle of real life, with an imperfect schedule and imperfect circumstances, may be one of the most important skills you can build for lasting change.

What if your symptoms aren't the whole story?

What if getting healthier didn't mean constantly telling yourself “no”?

What if the days that feel the least exciting are actually the most important ones?

Cholesterol has been one of the most confusing topics in the wellness world for decades. Is cholesterol actually the villain we've been told it is? What do LDL, HDL, and triglycerides really mean? And how much does the food on your plate actually affect your numbers?In this episode, Lisa breaks down the cholesterol conversation in a way that's easier to understand, from what your lipid panel is actually measuring to how nutrition, movement, stress, hormones, and everyday habits can influence your cardiovascular health.We'll also talk about how cholesterol and metabolism can change throughout different stages of life, including perimenopause and beyond, and how you can use the Healthi app to become more intentional about the quality of the foods you're eating.No fear. No food guilt. Just a conversation designed to help you feel more informed and confident about your health. ❤️

Weight loss isn't just about what you eat or how often you exercise. It's also about the conversations happening inside your head every single day.

Most of us approach healthy habits like they're a test we have to pass. We expect ourselves to get it right immediately, and when we don't, we assume we've failed.In this episode, Ashley shares a different perspective: what if you're not trying to be perfect—you're practicing? Just like learning any new skill, confidence comes from repetition, not getting it right the first time. If you've been discouraged by mistakes or waiting until you feel more confident to stay consistent, this conversation will help you see your journey in a whole new way.

Do you really need 10,000 steps a day? Are weighted hula hoops, vibration plates, and ankle weights worth the hype?

Grief doesn't follow a straight line. Some moments you're crying, and the next you're laughing. You might feel sadness, anger, frustration, gratitude, and even joy all in the same day. And that doesn't mean you're grieving wrong. ❤️In this deeply personal episode of Mindful Moments, Coach Delicia opens up about the recent loss of her grandmother, a woman who was more like a mother and best friend to her. As she navigates grief while also experiencing the joy of watching her baby grow, Delicia shares the powerful reminder that two seemingly opposite emotions can exist at the same time.She talks honestly about the impact grief has had on her sleep, appetite, energy, focus, and mental health, and why asking for help is never something to be ashamed of. From drinking enough water and getting outside to taking a shower, resting, reaching out to loved ones, and giving yourself permission to drop the "extra" things, Delicia shares the small ways she's learning to care for herself during a difficult season.Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that taking care of yourself during grief isn't selfish, and feeling joy doesn't mean you're disloyal to your pain. If you're navigating loss, stress, or a major life transition, give yourself permission to feel whatever comes up. You don't have to choose between grief and joy. Sometimes, you can hold both.And maybe today, take a moment to hug someone you love a little tighter and tell them what they mean to you. You never know how much that moment might come to mean.

Life changes. Schedules change. Priorities shift. So why do we believe our health journey has to look exactly the same every day to count as consistent?Somewhere along the way, many of us started believing that consistency meant following the perfect routine without interruption. Then life happened, the routine changed, and we convinced ourselves we had failed.In this episode, Ashley talks about why consistency has nothing to do with repeating the same day over and over again. It's about learning how to adapt without abandoning yourself. From busy work seasons and vacations to unexpected setbacks and changing routines, you'll hear why flexibility isn't a sign that you're slipping, it's often a sign that you're growing.

What if exercise wasn't about punishing your body for what you ate, but celebrating everything your body can do?

When it comes to weight loss, there's no single tool that works for everyone. The real magic happens when you find the combination that fits your lifestyle.

We live in a time where health information is everywhere. There are endless podcasts to listen to, recipes to save, videos to watch, and strategies to try. But when does learning about health stop helping us move forward and start keeping us stuck?In this episode of The Healthi Life, Ashley talks about the difference between consuming wellness and actually living it. She dives into why researching, planning, and searching for the perfect approach can sometimes feel like progress while keeping us from taking action. This is a reminder that lasting change usually isn't found in the next tip, trend, or strategy. It's built by taking what you already know and practicing it in your everyday life.

Stepping on the scale can keep you informed, but it can't build the habits that create lasting change.Real accountability isn't just about reporting a number once a week. It's about the choices you make when no one's watching. It's showing up on the hard days, learning from setbacks instead of quitting, and creating routines you can actually stick with.Join us for this week's Tuesday Talks as we dive into what accountability really looks like, why the scale only tells part of the story, and how shifting your focus from outcomes to daily actions can completely change your journey.

Why does it feel so tempting to quit when results don't happen fast enough?Our brains are wired to chase immediate rewards, which can make slow, steady progress feel frustrating, even when it's working. That urge to start over, look for a new plan, or wonder if you're doing enough isn't a lack of willpower. It's part of how your brain is designed.In this episode, Ashley explains the science behind instant gratification and why patience can feel so difficult during a weight loss journey. More importantly, she shares practical ways to work with your brain instead of against it, so you can stay consistent long enough to see the results you've been working toward.

It's a heavy question, but a vital one: Is your life a blueprint to follow or a warning to avoid? Coach Delicia gets raw about a family member's health battle and explains why prioritizing your wellness today is the ultimate gift to your kids and grandkids.

There comes a point when constantly trying to improve yourself stops feeling empowering and starts feeling exhausting.Another habit to build. Another goal to reach. Another thing to fix. Over time, the pressure to become a “better” version of yourself can leave you feeling like you're never enough exactly as you are.In this episode, Ashley talks about the burnout that comes from always chasing self-improvement, why growth shouldn't require constant self-criticism, and how to make space for both progress and peace.

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything "right" but still struggle with exhaustion, inflammation, stubborn weight, or unexplained symptoms, this episode is for you.In Part 1 of this new series, Lisa breaks down autoimmune conditions in a way that's easy to understand, explaining why weight loss becomes so much harder when your immune system is constantly on high alert.

Summer is meant to be enjoyed, but it can also throw your healthy routine completely off track. Between vacations, BBQs, late nights, family gatherings, and endless sweet treats, it's easy to feel like you're constantly starting over.This week on Tuesday Talks, we're sharing practical strategies to help you enjoy everything summer has to offer without feeling like your goals have to take a back seat. We'll talk about staying consistent while traveling, navigating parties, keeping hydration and protein top of mind, and bouncing back after indulgent meals without guilt.Because surviving summer isn't about saying no to every invitation. It's about finding a balance that lets you make memories and keep moving toward your goals.

Healthy habits are meant to support your life, not take it over.But somewhere along the way, it's easy to start believing that every meal has to be perfect, every workout has to happen, and every choice has to be “right.” What started as structure can slowly turn into pressure, guilt, and the feeling that your health journey is controlling you instead of helping you.In this episode, Ashley talks about the difference between healthy structure and unhealthy obsession, why so many people confuse control with success, and how to build habits that leave room for real life. Because the healthiest version of you shouldn't feel trapped by the life you're trying to create.

If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you're constantly starting over, this episode is the reminder you need to keep going.

At some point, the excitement fades.The scale doesn't move as quickly. The compliments slow down. The habits that once felt new become part of your everyday life. And suddenly, the journey that felt so motivating in the beginning starts to feel… ordinary.This is the phase where many people quietly walk away. Not because they're failing, but because they're no longer getting the constant feedback that kept them going.In this episode, Ashley talks about the quiet middle of weight loss, the boredom that nobody warns you about, and why this phase may be the most important part of the entire journey. Because lasting success isn't built during the exciting beginning. It's built when you keep showing up long after the novelty wears off.

Over the past few weeks, we've explored protein, carbohydrates, and fats individually. This week, we're bringing it all together and looking at how these three macronutrients work as a team.It's easy to label foods as "good" or "bad," but your body wasn't designed to run on just one macronutrient. Protein helps build and repair, carbohydrates provide energy, and fats support everything from hormone health to nutrient absorption.The real magic happens when they work together.Join us as we wrap up our macronutrient series and discuss why balance, not restriction, is often the key to building meals that keep you satisfied, energized, and feeling your best. ✨

You overate. Now what?For many people, the hardest part isn't the food. It's the guilt, the shame, and the mental spiral that follows.
