She instigated the first Australian government report on the issue and guided its governance methodology. Megan then moved to designing a world-first education innovation that connects seriously-ill students to their classrooms through telepresence robots.Megan's experience has forged a strong sense of social justice, she began her career in government and rose through the ranks to become the NSW Finance Minister’s youngest staffer. Her later work in international development saw her spearheading multi-million dollar initiatives to address complex social and development issues across 24 countries. She is an expert on raising funding for large and dynamic innovation projects. Megan now teaches and mentors changemakers to build enterprises for social good, and has co-founded tech startups in the global development and the assistive robot sector.

HOLISTIC WELLNESS AFTER HEALING AN EATING DISORDER WITH MEGAN GILMORE, THE DETOXINISTA.At the top of this episode, Megan and I talk about the varying reactions people have when they hear "detoxinista".They either get really excited that this might be a specific guide to a rigid detox protocol.OR they turn they other way because they hear "detox" and it turns them off.However, Megan's approach is neither strict nor scary.In fact, when my clients are feeling steady with the emotional side of their relationship with food and are looking to gently upgrade the way they eat simply to FEEL better - The Detoxinista blog is often where I send them for simple, delicious, whole food recipes.In this conversation you'll hear us talk about......Megan's history and how she got into detox and wellness....her years struggling with binge eating disorder and how she found healing and clarity....how pregnancy shifted her perspective on food and her body and changed the course of her relationship with both....the part of healing binge eating we BOTH ignored at first. ...and the fun projects she's working on today.I hope you enjoy this conversation with Megan Gilmore.LINKS:Detoxinista website.Detoxinista Facebook.Detoxinista Pinterest.Detoxinista YouTube.
Despite her website’s catchy name, Megan Gilmore does not believe in “detoxing” in the sense of a drastic, quick-fix diet. In fact, eating well hasn’t always come naturally for her. As a military brat, Megan’s family moved often while she was growing up and they relied heavily on fast food. Megan was fortunate to be an active child with a good metabolism, but her bad eating habits caught up with her in college when she became more sedentary. Megan gained nearly 30 pounds during her freshman year. Desperate to fit into her clothes again, Megan embarked on a series of diets to help her lose weight. She suffered in a cycle of yo-yo dieting and binge eating for years. It took Megan years to figure it out, but she didn’t achieve lasting weight loss until she developed a healthier relationship with food. Instead of restricting entire food groups, Megan now focus on streamlining my digestion and eating higher quality foods. Nothing is off limits!
Our friend Megan Gilmore sets us straight on what being an 8 is really like, and in the process inspires us to live fully and to trust people again.
Our guest this week is Megan Gilmore, executive director of Lark’s Song. Megan is a professional coach with a focus on positive psychology. Megan sits down with Amy and Dr. B. to chat about how she got into professional coaching and what led to the creation of Lark’s Song. She talks about the mission of Lark’s Song and how it helps clients to overcome obstacles and challenges on the way to wellbeing that they might not be able to overcome by themselves. Megan also describes the benefits of positive psychology, why habit formation is such an important component of professional coaching, some of the major differences between coaching and counseling, and why clients are the best experts on themselves.

The lovely Megan Gilmore—perhaps better known as the popular health food blogger “The Detoxinista” and author of Everyday Detox—sat down with me to share her fascinating journey from fast food junkie to green smoothie goddess. In her earlier days of searching for a healthier lifestyle, Megan tried a variety of extreme detox diets but found she would always yo-yo back to fast food or binge eating. Now a certified nutritionist consultant (CNC) with years of experience under her belt, she’s settled on a more moderate “everyday detox” approach that keeps her on track and works for her whole family. More real food, more veggies, more sleep. That’s a detox that’s doable! Everyday Detox for Your Best Health So what does it mean to “detox,” really? That word can certainly take on a host of meanings in the health world. Megan defines it as eating nourishing foods that support the body’s natural detox functions. And this makes so much sense. Every day we are exposed to toxins, many of which are beyond our control, creating a burden on the body. Everyday detox means also taking in, every day, those foods that best support the body’s design for purification, digestion, and elimination. (Basically, green veggies!) This creates a sustainable, ongoing detox. Everyday Detox for Your Best Family I especially love Megan’s openness about the challenges and joys of being a mom and entrepreneur. She even developed the fast and easy recipes in her new No Excuses Detox cookbook while babywearing. (I can so relate!) Because we’re both multitasking moms, we speak the same language when it comes to cooking. The ingredients in her cookbook are easy to find and steps kept to a minimum … because of course even health-conscious moms don’t want to live in the kitchen! We both have a deep love for the Instant Pot, big batch cooking, and “sneaking” veggies into recipes so kids don’t even know they’re there. (And let’s face it, sometimes we grownups need to hide the taste of certain veggies too!) Everyday health eating can’t help but influence the whole family for the better. And family is very much Megan’s focus. In This Podcast, You’ll Learn how the Detoxinista got her start (she wasn’t always healthy) the principles of her everyday detox plan that doesn’t go to extremes the lowdown on “food combining,” a smart alternative to counting calories easy ways to simplify food prep for family weeknight meals how Megan handles picky eating in her house Megan’s favorite go-to meals and snacks to have on hand the important fruit that makes labor and delivery easier (imagine that!) tips and tricks to sneak more veggies into your family’s diet and more!

Welcome to episode 55 of the Food Blogger Pro podcast! In this episode, Bjork talks with Jason Logsdon from Amazing Food Made Easy about self-publishing a cookbook. For many bloggers, getting a cookbook deal sounds like a dream come true. That’s when they know they’ve “made it.” As it turns out, though, getting a cookbook deal with a major publisher isn’t all puppies and roses. When it comes down to it, publishing a cookbook is more about brand awareness than it is about income, and much of the legwork done for creating and marketing the book is still up to the author. Jason Logsdon published his first cookbook when his blog was still rather small - and he quickly discovered how self-publishing can actually be a simple, rewarding process that allows you to generate income even with a relatively small audience. In this episode, Jason shares: Why he chose such a specific niche to blog in The 4 simple steps to self-publishing When it’s better to self publish vs. traditional publish What an average blogger can expect to make from a traditionally published cookbook How much money a self-published book can bring in How much traffic he had when he published his first book Who does the editing when you self-publish Why it’s a good idea to publish a print book What tools he uses to layout his books Resources: CreateSpace Under Pressure by Thomas Keller Goats in Trees Calendar Amazon Whispernet 052: How to Sell 4,000 Cookbooks Before You Even Publish with Megan Gilmore from Detoxinista Amazing Food Made Easy Selfpublishacookbook.com Self Publishing Made Easy by Jason Logsdon If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions for interviews, be sure to email them to podcast@foodbloggerpro.com.

Welcome to episode 52 of the Food Blogger Pro podcast! In this episode, Bjork talks with Megan Gilmore from Detoxinista. We all know that writing a cookbook is a LOT of work. From the recipe development to the photography, a cookbook author is a busy bee. One thing you might not know, though, is that the author is also expected to presell copies of their book to their audience before it even publishes. As you might imagine, this can be quite the task! When Megan Gilmore, the author behind Detoxinista, set out to presell copies of her first cookbook, they expected the average number of sales - somewhere around 500 cookbooks. Instead, she blew everyone at 10 Speed Press out of the water with a whopping 4,000 cookbook presales - the largest presale in the history of 10 Speed Press. Today, she’s here to tell us how she did it. In this episode, Megan shares: How she got her first book deal What the difference is between an advance and royalties Why a cookbook deal isn’t necessarily a good way to make money, but is a good business decision Why cookbook authors run presale campaigns What she gave away as part of the preorder campaign How she raised awareness about her book before it was released How she promoted her book once it was officially released What the writing process is like What you need to do before you create a cookbook Resources: 015: How to Find Your Voice and be Heard in a Noisy World with Dianne Jacob Lutefisk Just Say No mug Physique57 Detoxinista Every Day Detox by Megan Gilmore Detoxinista on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions for interviews, be sure to email them to podcast@foodbloggerpro.com.
