The PT BodyShop Two strength and nutrition coaches working to help people leave chronic pain behind and feel great!

This guy…
This was before he had his staples out, which was when he was in the most amount of pain in this whole journey.

But even then he was trying to crack jokes and have a laugh.

Yes, his many years of weight lifting and a well rounded mobility/stability focus have definitely helped his recovery, but his mindset has too.

Your mindset is your superpower.
If you’re facing a health challenge, your mindset is the strongest medicine you carry.

Surgery may challenge your body, but your thoughts shape your comeback.

Focus on the small wins—because they add up to a BIG recovery. 💪✨

"Programing Essentials" is my latest certification that I get to hang on the wall.
Tracey and I need to earn at least 4 Continuing Education Credits each year to maintain our Canfit Pro Personal Trainer Specialist certification. This allows us to keep our certification valid, our business insured, and our minds open to always learning.

I am going to have some time on my hands in the next couple of weeks (knee replacement), I'm open to suggestions on my next course.

🇨🇦🍁 Happy Canada Day! 🍁🇨🇦

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Canada Day!
We’re out celebrating with some live music today… don’t worry, we’re counting this as cardio. 😉

Enjoy the sunshine, the concerts, the BBQs, and a little extra maple syrup today. Stay safe, move your body, and remember – waving your flag counts as a shoulder workout too. 💪❤️

🧠✨ I got an Oura Ring for my birthday — and no, it’s not just a fancy mood ring for midlife!

I’m actually super excited to start tracking deeper patterns in my health and fitness — but let’s be clear:
❌ I won’t be using it to micromanage calories
❌ I won’t be turning every stat into a “do more” challenge
❌ I’m not aiming to “crush” more workouts because of a readiness score

👀 What will I be watching?

➡️ Trends in how my body responds to shifts in training
➡️ Nutrition tweaks that might move the needle (or not)
➡️ How my bioidentical hormone therapy is impacting sleep, recovery, and stress

But most importantly, the real MVP metrics are still:
🌙 Sleep quality
⚡ Energy levels
💩 Digestion (yep, I said it)
😌 Mood & nervous system regulation

The tech is cool — but my body still has the final say.
This is data, not a dictator.

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day from The PT BodyShop 🌸

Today, we celebrate all the strong, caring, and resilient women who love, nurture, and show up for others — in every form that motherhood takes.

💖 To the moms raising little ones and grown ones
💖 To those who always dreamed of becoming a mother
💖 To the ones who’ve experienced loss and carry love in their hearts
💖 To stepmoms, foster moms, grandmothers, and moms-to-be
💖 To the women who mother through mentorship, support, and fierce compassion

You are seen. You are valued. You are loved.

We’re sending you strength, peace, and a moment (or ten!) to take care of you today. 💪💐

With love,
The PT BodyShop Team

🧀🌶️☕ That cheese board, spicy taco, or 3rd coffee?
They might be the drama. 😬

Midlife nutrition isn’t about swearing off joy — it’s about cracking the code on what’s actually setting off your symptoms.

Hot flash after wine?
Mood swing from skipping lunch?
Bloat from “healthy” snacks?
Been there. 🫣

Spring Clean Your Plate! 🌿🥗

Small swaps = BIG results!

If you’re looking to reduce inflammation, support weight loss, and boost overall health, these simple ingredient swaps can make all the difference.

✨ Why These Swaps Work:

Ditch the bottled dressing → Homemade with olive oil & vinegar = fewer additives & healthy fats!

Skip the sugary cereal → Oatmeal keeps you full longer with fiber & nutrients.

Sour cream vs. Greek yogurt → More protein, probiotics & less fat!

Juice vs. whole fruit → Keep the fiber, skip the sugar spike.

White bread vs. whole grain/Ezekiel/Dave’s Killer Bread → More nutrients, less blood sugar crash.

Mayo vs. avocado → Creamy, delicious & packed with heart-healthy fats!

Spring is all about refreshing, renewing, and resetting—and that includes your diet!

Try making just one swap this week and see how you feel. Which one will you start with? 🍏🥑🥖
