Achieving good health and weight loss goals takes more than diet and exercise. Mic drop! 🎤

Hormones, gut health, mindset and lifestyle are just some of the other major players to look at when crafting a formula for good health.

Diets and workouts aren’t one size fits all. Bodies compromised by chronic imbalances or illness may not benefit from the same regimen as someone whose bill of health is squeaky clean.

In order to successfully tackle health and wellness goals, it’s key that we use an individualized, whole-person approach.

But don’t take it from us — the proof is in the pudding! Read what one doctor had to say about working with Lisa Dorfman, nutrition expert and founder of CHI Energy Bites! 🌟

Do you know how CHI Energy Bites got their name? 🤔

The term Chi, or Qi, pronounced (“chee”) has its origins in Eastern philosophy, medicine, religion and yoga. It’s described as the life force, or energy flow, that runs through us.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s believed that free-flowing Chi results in a healthy body and mind. In contrast, blockages in Chi energy may lead to imbalances and illness.

Diet, movement, exercise, acupuncture, herbs, meditation and prayer can help positively influence free-flowing Chi. 🧘🏻‍♂️

Our founder, Lisa Dorfman (AKA ), has always felt a sense of Chi in her own life. She’s purpose-driven in everything she does, striving to be the best she can be while helping others do the same, so it seemed only fitting to name them CHI Energy Bites.

These nutrient-packed vegan snacks are organic, high in protein and gluten-free. Our Bites will help you find your inner Chi by nourishing your body, enhancing your energy levels, and inspiring you to get CHI-nergized! ⚡️

Are you a runner, triathlete or competitive athlete? 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏾‍♀️

Did you know you can optimize your performance on race or competition days by paying a little more attention to what you consume in the days leading up to the event?

Lisa Dorfman, founder of CHI Energy Bites, is a former professional triathlete and runner, 35x marathoner, 4x Boston Marathon runner (2:52 PR) and champion of races from the track to ultras. She’s put together some of her top nutritional tips to get your body ready for a marathon or athletic event. Below is a sneak peek. ⤵️

In the 1 to 2 days leading up to the event:
-Trade high fiber meals for simpler foods like baked chicken, fish, cereal, potato and quinoa
-Boost vitamin, mineral and fiber through sprouts, fruits and fortified beverages
-Increase your intake of vitamin fortified waters
-Avoid alcohol during these couple of days

On competition day:
-Eat light: think crackers, toast, etc.
-Avoid dairy
-Fuel up with a banana or a couple hours before the race
-Drink a combination of water and endurance sports drinks up to a half hour before the race

Have you or your children put on a few extra pounds throughout the pandemic? If so, it’s OK, but to ensure optimal health it’s important that your kids are staying within a healthy weight percentile for their age. ⚖️

Your child’s primary care physician can help by running tests to rule out underlying medical reasons for the weight gain. And a licensed dietitian can help you and your family incorporate good eating habits. 🥑

Wondering how you can support your kids with establishing healthy habits? Check out this article from , which I was recently quoted in {LINK IN BIO}:

Black History Month is traditionally celebrated during the month of February, and it gives us an opportunity to recognize some of the greatest leaders and their important contributions throughout history.

This important event was originally created in the 1920s and lasted only a week, but in the 1970s it was expanded to a monthlong event “to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history,” according to President Gerald Ford.

We’d like to take a moment to honor all African Americans who have made a lasting impact throughout the world and share one of our favorite quotes.
