Happy September!

Can you believe it's already September? Or, that there are 121days left in this year??

I'm always excited when a new month begins. I see it as a time to "reset". Time for self-care. Time to revisit those little things that when done consistently can make a big difference.
I'm ready for that! How about you?

If you’re making a potato dish, always consider the amazing Sweet Potato!

Not only do they taste delicious, but they are packed with B6, Vitamin D, and can even increase the production of white and red blood cells!

I am most excited about the role I am playing in the lives of people who are ready to take their health to the next level. I always envisioned myself making a difference, but never knew where to begin until I was introduced to my personal Health Coach. I saw this person as a beacon of hope in my life and decided that this was my path as well. If you are ready to make a lasting change and want the support of people who truly care, then let’s connect because I know you DESERVE IT!

I always tell parents that the most effective way to create a healthy home is to cook together. I know everyone is busy, and this does not have to happen every single night, but one night each week should be allocated to a Family Cook-Off. Go to the supermarket together, focus on colorful and healthy foods from the produce aisle, and then prepare dinner as a team. This activity will bring such joy to the lives of everyone involved and it will create memories that will last a lifetime.

Energy is something we could all use a little more of, do you agree?

Fortunately, there are a few energy boosts that only take a few minutes:

-Staying hydrated

-Waking around the block

-Spending a few minutes in the sun

-Sipping tea

-Eating a smart mini-meal

-Taking a technology break

I became a Health Coach because of my personal transformation. I never even considered this path until I met my Health Coach, saw how they lived and the passion they had for serving, and witness them achieve great success with personal goals. After seeing this, I was ALL IN! I wake up each day with more passion and excitement than I ever thought possible and if you want this for yourself, please let me know, as it would be my absolute honor to share.

There are two types of people in this world… those who hydrate with water and those who don’t. This post is for both kinds of people!

Water doesn’t have to be boring! Turn “flavorless” water into WATER WITH BENEFITS!

Tea has many benefits and tastes amazing hot or iced. You can even make it at home to satisfy your flavor or benefit preferences!

All of us were put on this planet to experience optimal health and to make a contribution. The challenge is that most people do not know where to begin and I can relate because I was once in your shoes. I had this burning desire to make a meaningful difference in my life and in the lives of others, but I could not find my outlet until I learned how to create an Optimal Life.

Going out to eat but trying to make wise choices?

Don’t be guilted into ordering a large entree. Many restaurants are more than happy to prepare healthy appetizers and side dishes as your meal.

20-25 almonds provide 35% of your daily Vitamin E and also are high in protein and unsaturated fat, making them the perfect snack choice!

“EAT YOUR SPINACH!”

If you’re guilty of giving or receiving this statement, you should know there’s more than one way to eat spinach.

You can get the same benefits from blending it into a smoothie, scrambling with eggs, adding to wraps/sandwiches, stir-frying, or adding to salads and pasta!

How do you enjoy your spinach?
