Burn Brighter Coaching | Strength & Nutrition for Women
Fitness and Nutrition Coaching for women over 35
So you should know that I used to poo poo eating animals. Then I had a bunch of weird stuff happen to me that basically made me a hot mess- Blech!
After some digging (and testing) I finally got why my body truly needs meat and Exactly what kind I need to buy. One company that’s made this super easy for me is Butcher Box.
Here’s a guest post I wrote for them, so we can all make the best choice for our bodies AND brains!

This podcast episode is all about the best water bottle ever. Sounds a little dry? (pun intended)
Think again.
MiiR water bottles were born from the head of founder Bryan Pape after a near fatal skiing accident.
It’s what Bryan calls ” Product to Project”
What’s jaw dropping is how many projects MiiR has created. Not just water, but building schools and donating bikes to communities so we can all do better daily!

Have you ever wanted to somehow give more? But either the thought gets pushed to the side, or you end up waiting till some massive disaster happens?
I totally used to do that. I’d think of volunteering at shelter during the holidays or think of donating to kids in need, but something always distracted me and once again I waited till some tragic event unfolded to help others in need.
I really think we all want to serve more we just don’t know how to immediately do so in a super easy way.
Now we can! And get this you can actually give back when you buy great stuff you love
Imagine buying a quality bag and knowing that some of your money is going to build a school for kids in an impoverished community.
I mean we all love those FEED bags and TOM’s – they look great and we know we’ve done something really good.
How cool is that?!

Check out this month’s new recipes. Just for you from Galen and I.
We are Cooking with Currans. We have past months recipes and vids on You Tube at my channel: Breanne Curran
I love coffee, more specifically I love the high quality espresso shots. I love it simple and dark with nothing added. I’m all in for the focus and energy it brings me.
What I don’t love is the crash it brings me and cravings for more. I’ve tried tons of alternatives nothing has worked for me-
Plus it’s got amazing antioxidants and tone of other health boosting properties.
You probably aren’t as much excited about the anti-oxidants as you are that Channing Tatum turned me onto this:)
Okay, So I gotta be honest.
I did not meet Channing Tatum in person.
I was on vacation and read THIS article in Men’s Fitness Magazine. Tatum was ga ga over this new drink and the company behind it.
You should know that I’m not into energy drinks (since they are typically artificial and give you a giant crash
That’s why I was super enticed by this drink he was going on about. Not just cause one of my favorite Hollywood actors was telling me about it – but because it could totally solving my daily energy problem
And it totally did! In fact, I’ve been drinking it every day since I read that article (or rather – after I got back in the US, went to Whole Foods and picked it up)
Channing Tatum’s become such a fan that he’s an investor in the company.
Not just cause the drink kicks ass, but RUNA’s owners, Tyler & Dan are up to some serious humanitarian good.
The drink and the Company is called RUNA.
Runa is a tea made from guayusa. A leaf in the Amazon that has some serious kick ass properties.
It will boost your energy and mental focus without giving you a crash or keeping you up.
PLUS it’s got awesome antioxidants AND caffeine ( more than green tea on both) But it won’t make you jittery.
It’s keeps me alert, focused AND gives me way more power in my workouts. Runa has what they describe as “clean energy” – it’s a sustained lift that doesn’t give you a crash like other caffeinated drinks.
Plus I know it’s all natural and giving me huge health boosting antioxidants without keeping me up at night.
RUNA has an awesome video that tells you all about how this works, with owner Tyler Gage and Channing Tatum

This amazing company sent me a huge box of samples for me to try and let you know what’s awesome. Read on for my review
Bummed that you can’t enjoy a real Shamrock Shake from McDonald’s?
I’ve got one that’ll give Mickey D’s a run for it’s money! Plus it’s dairy free and refined sugar free
put diced avocado in a small container.
Golden Milk – This stuff is freakin’ magic
Seriously. It helps you sleep better, burn more fat, decrease recovery time between workouts/ working your body hard, decrease inflammation, increase immune system and has anti cancer and mental health benefits
I started drinking this when I had some giant family drama going on- couldn’t sleep and was totally holding onto body fat.
Now that’s gone – the drama and the fat , thank heavens!!
I still tap into this a few times a week. Helps me sleep better + speeds up recovery btwn hard strength workouts/ stresses on the body.. Oh and it keeps colds at bay, boosts our immune system and crushes nighttime snack cravings!
A soothing drink made with high quality fats and spices (coconut milk, coconut oil, turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon and ginger) It’s an ancient Indian Ayurvedic remedy.
Us Western World folk only began learning of this a few years ago. Lucky for you and I there’s an awesome company that’s perfected the recipe and makes it super easy for us to access the drink whenever we like 🙂
USE Gaia Goldenmilk mix. Just add your milk of choice, heat, mix and enjoy! CLICK HERE for info
What I love most is that Gaia has dates, black pepper and ashwaganda in it!
1.The date powder – keeps the drink slightly sweet (not very) – but definitely makes it more tasty WITHOUT raising glucose much.. very minimal amount. Great sweetener source! ,
2. ASHWAGANDA! Love this herb – It’s one of the most prevalent Ayurvedic sources and in India means “smelly horse” – On it’s own – it has a fould smell – but not in the mix – It’s powers are to 1. Increase Strength ( hence the “horse”) 2. Decreases Inflammation 3. Decreases mental anxiety and stress 4. Helps you sleep! It’s your chill pill
3. Black Pepper – Necessary to release the curcumin in Turmeric – this is turmeric’s most potent health property. Curcumin is an anti cancer property, as well as aids digestion and reduces inflammation and stress in the body.
You can also make this on your own — BUT I say just buy GAIA’s set up… it’s hard to find ground ashwaganda and cost
You can find this at PCC, Whole Foods, most Co Ops AND on AMAZON – CLICK here
I enjoy golden milk 3 nights a week – when I need more recovery, sleep and gotta perform big the next day!
If you’re a DIY kinda human -scroll down to make it yo’self!

I get to work with some really amazing people. Most of my clients are super busy and travel a lot, so we do e-coaching. One of my virtual coaching clients is Dr. Brenda Salter McNeil. She and I skype every 2 weeks to create a super specific plan for her to work on. She gets recipes, how to order out, workout plans and some mindset tips to keep her inspired- so she can keep doing it all!
Brenda knows she can plan the work. But real change only happens when she works the plan.
Once she made these recipes, she got all sorts of people wanting to know what she was eating and where she got it!
So I thought I’d share the recipes I gave her. Hopefully they will get you turning heads too:)
But first- here’s a little more about why you should know about this lady:)
Dr. Brenda is literally changing the world daily. She has a strong purpose and mission that she lives daily
” To inspire and equip young Christian leaders to practice reconciliation around the world and to build communities that partner with God to bring relational healing and social wholeness” -Dr. Brenda CLICK HERE for her site
