Dr. Windy Blades.

Life, Health, & Executive Coach, Trainer, Reiki Master. BBB Accredited Business Tactical Health & Wellness Center is a community and veterans’ resource center that uses a holistic approach to health and wellness offering diverse modalities in physical, mental, and nutritional modalities of health & wellness. Our passion is to help others achieve their health and wellness goals by combining traditional and nontraditional physical, mental, and spiritual healing modalities for the improvement of human performance, functional movement, mobility, range of motion, flexibility, resilience, stability, active recovery, and physical and mental optimization through individual sessions, group classes, and workshops for the Hampton Roads communities in a comprehensive healing space. There are multiple options available for health and wellness growth, as well as personal and professional development. All are welcome, no matter your fitness level. The programming available at the Tactical Health & Wellness Center is developed around this concept, and we will meet you where you are in your health and wellness journey. The current stage of development and expansion of the Tactical Health & Wellness Center would serve as an alternative fitness modality to the traditional, hard-core, and hard-charging HIIT. We do NOT use machines. Our preference is to use minimal equipment, such as balance balls, yoga blocks, and resistance bands. Please, do NOT misunderstand, you will work hard in the classes that are offered at the Tactical Health & Wellness Center; you WILL sweat. The process will just be lighter on your joints and spine, with more focus on your structure, core, posture, mental freedom and clarity, and balancing your energy. The Hampton Roads area has one of the largest populations of military, veterans, and first responders. This community serves selflessly in the protection and safety of not only the Hampton Roads communities but also our nation. It is our honor to serve this community, to ensure they are in the right frame of mind and state of physical being to perform at their most optimal levels of movement while maintaining mental clarity and acuity.

The Official Fall Reset: Master Your Week with Meal Prep! 🍎

The first day of fall is almost here, and it's the perfect time to get back into a healthy routine. Ready for a fresh start? Let's make your health journey easier and more delicious!

Why Meal Prepping is Your Secret Weapon for Staying On Track:

⏰ Batch Preparation is a Game Changer: Dedicate a couple of hours each week to prep. Having healthy options ready means you'll never resort to a less-than-ideal choice when hunger strikes! It's the ultimate hack for making smart food choices, no matter how busy you are.

💧 Hydration Station: Make your water exciting! Infuse it with fresh fruit like strawberries, cucumber, or citrus for a refreshing twist. Don't forget your electrolytes for active days! Keep a handy water bottle nearby and track your intake.

⚡️ Snack Smart: Beat the mid-afternoon slump before it starts! Prepackage power snacks like almonds, Greek yogurt, or homemade energy bars for a perfect, healthy energy boost.

🥗 Think Beyond the Sandwich: It's time to explore fresh, flavorful, and satisfying lunches! This is where your health journey gets fun.

Let's embrace this new season together. What's one thing you're prepping this week? Share in the comments! 👇

Are you a busy professional who spends hours working at a computer or on your phone? I have a client who is an Architect and one of the topics we have discussed repeatedly is how to relieve and/or eliminate the pain and tension in their neck and shoulders from constantly working on a laptop.

Let's talk about something often overlooked: the impact of poor posture and ergonomics on your body's structural integrity.

​Spending prolonged periods in a hunched or misaligned position, or continuously looking down at a screen (computer, tablet, or phone) can strain your spine, leading to muscle weakness, joint pain, and even nerve compression. This isn't just about looking good—it's about preventing long-term damage and preserving your physical health.

​The good news? It's fixable! By implementing proper ergonomics, you can mitigate these risks. Simple adjustments like:

✅ ​Elevating your screen to eye level to avoid neck strain.
✅ ​Using a supportive chair that keeps your spine's natural curve.
​✅ Ensuring your feet are flat on the floor or a footrest.
✅ ​Taking regular breaks to stand and stretch.

​Investing in your ergonomics is an investment in your future health. Don't wait until the pain starts—proactively protect your body's foundation.

Have you ever considered Intermittent Fasting for weight loss? 🤔

​It’s a popular method, and for good reason! IF can be a game-changer by helping you:

​- Stay in a calorie deficit
- ​Improve your body’s response to insulin
- ​Boost your metabolism

​But here’s a question we don't always ask: Does age impact how you should fast? The answer is a resounding YES!

​As we get older, our hormone balance shifts, and our bodies can become more sensitive to stress. This means a one-size-fits-all approach to IF just doesn't work. What's a simple, effective schedule for a younger person might feel too intense or even counterproductive for someone in their 40s, 50s, or beyond.

​The most successful strategy is an individualized one. Talk to a health expert to create a plan that aligns with your age, lifestyle, and unique health needs.

The definition of insanity is to do the same things overall and over again, expecting a different result.

In order to get different results, you have to take DIFFERENT steps, perform DIFFERENT actions, and shift to a DIFFERENT mindset.

Your progress or lack there of us controlled by YOU and you alone!

One of the things that I tell people, family, friends, or clients, is to NEVER give up on yourself! You will have ups and downs, but never lose sight of your goal!

I have lost the same 50-60 lbs many times over. As a 90% Disabled US Army Combat Veteran I have a LOT of unseen injuries that are more like road blocks on my health journey. BUT, you can ask anyone who knows me, they will tell you that I have NEVER given up on my journey. I just pivot and take a slightly different path. I will never give up on ME!

Fail! Fail often, but NEVER give up! YOU are worth it!!

Live your life one day at a time. Trying to manage the years ahead can feel overwhelming, but focusing on what's right in front of you can bring a sense of peace and confidence.
This mindset is especially powerful on a long health and wellness journey. When your Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) seems impossibly far away, focusing on today is the key to progress.

Instead of getting lost in the big picture, break your journey down into small, actionable steps. This is where SMART goals come in. By making your goals Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, you can celebrate a new victory every day. These small wins build the momentum you need to achieve your ultimate goal.
