Now that the bad weather has rolled in here's my PSA:

If you have an appointment with me and don't feel comfortable enough to make it, please don't hesitate to reschedule! My job, my passion, is to help you get better, and putting you at risk, or you feeling like you are somehow obligated to me to show up, doesn't align with that. All I ask is that you give me a heads up and let me know at least a few hours, if not more, before your appointment.

I grew up in weather like this, and love it, so I'm not worried about driving in it. But that's me. So, again, if you're not comfortable or feel it's too risky to make it to or from my office, reschedule! I won't be upset as I want all of you to be safe, healthy, and healed!

During this time of year (Halloween - Valentine's Day), the consumption of processed sugars is at an astronomical level. With all the candies, desserts, sweet and delicious sides, and hot, sugary drinks, it's no wonder that the rate of obesity is continuing to clime higher and higher among the US population.

This has allowed the Pharma Industry to develop "effective," yet ultimately dangerous, drugs to "fight" this epidemic, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, etc, that also harbor multiple negative side effects (especially psychological). And I get it, who wouldn't want to take a drug or a pill if it means you don't have to get sweaty and exercise? Or allow you to eat whatever you want whenever you want? But is that the example we want to set for our future generations? Do we want the population of Wall-E to be our future? I know I don't.

And thankfully, once again, nature has provided a solution! Some, if not all of you have heard about all the positive side effects of honey on the body; as a healing agent, a natural anti-inflammatory, and, depending on what the bees were exposed to (clove, wild flowers, etc) the properties of the honey have other medicinal and lifestyle benefits. And now we can add Maple Syrup to that list! No, Mrs. Buttersworth, I'm not looking at you! I'm talking REAL, from the trees, Maple Syrup!

So if you're looking for a more natural, non-psychotic, method to help fix your blood sugars, reduce that stubborn belly fat, and create a more healthy lifestyle, check out the article below and consider adding a little more syrup to your daily routines! I've already started using it in my morning oat meal vs the brown sugar I used to use. It tastes better, and I notice I don't have a mid-morning crash anymore. I'd love to hear what, if any, changes you notice after giving it a try!

Substituting refined sugars with maple syrup improved cardiometabolic risk factors and gut health in a clinical trial, highlighting its potential as a healthier alternative. A study published in The Journal of Nutrition reveals that replacing refined sugars with two tablespoons of maple syrup can

It's going to take me some time, but I'm going to be relaunching The Archangel Programs (T.A.Ps) as soon as possible. There will be some major changes coming to it, but it's sat on the shelf long enough and there are a lot of folks like me with severe C-PTSD that have fallen through the cracks and it's time to remedy that!

Stay tuned!

As some of you may know, but others are just now learning, I have made the decision to leave Echo. Our marriage had gotten beyond salvageable as it's been made apparent over the years that neither it, nor I, were a priority.

I only say this to let you all know there will be some coming changes to our marketing and website links. I will still be providing the same quality service in both massage and personal training you've all come to expect. I actually recently signed a 5 year lease in my current space, and I'm looking forward to growing my practice, and hopefully the family I've always wanted, here in the Ozarks!

If you use either the fitli app or link, that won't be changing, I'll just be updating the actual website and moving away from Echo's.

I'm looking forward to this new and unknown chapter in my life and am trusting in God to continue to watch over me.

Much love!

James
