Many wish to live happier, healthier lives and just don’t know where to start. There are endless amounts of information about diet and nutrition out there and it can be confusing to know how to eat and what to follow (ie: Intermittent fasting? Paleo? Keto? Veganism?). Sometimes it’s helpful to have a bit of guidance and support to kickstart your health. I began the holistic health and nutrition journey over 15 years ago and it has truly changed my life. It is my passion to continue to guide others and share what I can to assist in helping each person I work with be their best selves.  Feel free to read more about what people have experienced in the testimonials below. 
 
Real health is simple, sustainable and empowering.  When you truly understand what works for you, you transform your relationship with food and transform your life.

Thank you, wishing you and your loved ones a happy and healthy holiday season!

What’s it like working with Molly? 
 
“Molly has been one of the most positive influences in my life. I have grown leaps and bounds thanks to her knowledge, guidance, and insights. Her holistic approach has been influential in my overall well being, not solely my physical health. This process has been an essential step in coming to understand myself and my needs, and has further provided a foundation for me to thrive in all areas of my life. I am forever grateful.”

“I’ve worked with Molly Lee for over 6 months and it has absolutely changed my life. She works with you to gently rewire your attitudes around food and nourishment. I’ve lost weight but more importantly, am now freed from life-long toxic mind-chatter around food, weight and self-worth.”
 
 
– Molly M.
 
“Molly has such a wealth of knowledge, is attentive and incorporates both holistic and scientific philosophies/techniques into her practice. She offers very personalized insight that fit to me and my health needs. She’s extremely supportive, encouraging and down to earth. With her help, I even managed to recreate all my favorite comfort foods using healthier ingredients, and I never have cravings anymore. My workouts are increasingly better given my increased energy and I feel like a brand new person. Molly: thank you, thank you, thank you.”

“The work that Molly has done with me has been so much more comprehensive and life changing than I could have imagined. Not only did I change the way I eat, prepare food, food shop, etc., but my overall awareness of the way I treat my body and the nourishment I give myself has increased and shifted. The benefits have extended to every area of my life–from getting out of what was, for me, a toxic relationship, to allowing more yoga and dance in my life, to really going for what I want in my life instead of talking myself out of it–Molly’s questions and insights have helped me to heal not just my stomach, but my perception of myself and my relationship with my body and the world.  I feel like this is one of the best gifts I’ve given myself. Molly is incredibly knowledgable, highly empathic, she’s flexible to the needs of each individual and she goes the extra mile to give you the support and information you need. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is exceptional at what she does and I consider myself lucky to have benefited from her expert guidance.”

How To Keep Your New Year’s Weight Loss Resolution

CBS New York’s Tracy Dunstan asks Molly Lee about this topic:healthy woman with veggies

A new year brings new chances, changes and a plethora of resolutions. Losing weight is one resolution that usually tops the list. However, as the excitement of a new year fades, it can be hard to keep motivation about losing weight. Luckily, Molly Lee from Energizing Nutrition and Claire Hung from Fit + Flow Yoga have provided five handy tips for keeping the weight off into 2017.

 

Tip 1: Keep It Simple

Claire suggests that knowing what it means to eat clean is a great way to stick to a New Year’s resolution to keep the weight off. Removing easy access to unclean foods and planning ahead are useful steps in the right direction.

Molly has a similar idea: avoiding restrictive diets or extreme cleanses is a simple way that will help to keep the weight off. Molly suggests upping your water intake, reducing alcohol intake, cooking at home one to two times per week or trying a new exercise class.

Tip 2: Think About Your Food

Molly suggests investing in your health by joining a C.S.A (Community Supported Agriculture) or your local food co-op. Or simply begin buying higher quality food at your local health food store or farmer’s market.

Claire says, “It’s when we are ‘starving’ that we indulge in a fast food bite that is usually unclean and unhealthy.” Find snacks that are the least processed or, even better, not processed at all.

Tip 3: Restructure Your Drink And Meal Plans

Claire notes that going for smaller meals every 3-4 hours is key. Letting your stomach get smaller is much easier for digestion, and also allows you to become more aware of your needs: protein, energy, greens, water, etc.

Molly says one change to make is to lighten up with liquids. Focusing on your liquid intake goes a long way with keeping your weight down. Make it a habit to begin the day with water and lemon in the mornings, which is naturally energizing and cleansing for the body. Have green or herbal tea with a bit of honey instead of fancy coffee drinks, which are like liquid dessert and packed with sugar and unnecessary calories.

Tip 4: Exercise

Both Claire and Molly stress exercise as another tip for successful weight loss, and sticking to something you like works best. Claire says that her studio and classes explore how to challenge all levels, and they help people meet their goals without setbacks due to injury or strain.

Tip 5: Focus On You

Making the right choice on an individual basis is something that both Claire and Molly suggest. Molly especially suggests that those looking to keep the weight off give themselves permission to hibernate and to also focus on how they feel. She says, “In the city that never sleeps, it is absolutely essential to prioritize rest and sleep. Our bodies heal and restore while we sleep, and we need extra rest in the cold winter months. Avoid over-scheduling and give into the natural inclination to hibernate. Stay positive, and let go of the negative self-talk, guilt or pressure.“
