🐟 Salmon
Omega-3 fats that support brain health and help reduce inflammation.

Sprains, strains, and hard landings do more than hurt in the moment. Injuries often cause the body to compensate, placing added stress on the spine, joints, and surrounding muscles if movement is not restored correctly.

Helping the body move the way it should again supports:

✔ Reduced inflammation & muscle tightness
✔ Improved circulation & tissue healing
✔ Better balance, coordination, and performance

At Total Body, sports injury care takes the whole picture into account, so minor injuries do not turn into chronic problems!

Whether you are training, staying active, or recovering from an injury, paying attention early matters.

Sometimes the most brilliant move is simply getting checked out!

Many people begin the year with nutrition or weight goals that feel clear and motivating, then become harder to maintain as the weeks go on.

That experience is extremely common!

Research on behavior change shows that most health-related resolutions fade early on, especially when plans rely on restriction or motivation rather than supporting how the body actually functions.

When the body feels under-fueled or stressed, it adapts. Hunger cues shift. Energy dips. Staying consistent becomes harder, even with honest effort.

This is not a willpower issue.
It is a biological response.

At Total Body, nutritional counseling and weight loss care focus on education, structure, and one-on-one guidance that support the body rather than push it.

Here’s what supports consistency:
• Meals with protein, fiber, and healthy fats
• Hunger that feels steady, not urgent
• Energy that lasts between meals

Structure first. Support the body. Results follow over time.

A lot of what shapes how we eat happens before the first bite! Research in nutrition and behavioral science shows that our eating environment can influence appetite and portion perception. Plate color is one example. Blue tends to be less visually stimulating because it’s uncommon in natural foods, which may make portions feel more satisfying with less visual pull.

It’s a subtle effect...but subtle things matter!

That’s one reason some restaurants use blue plates to gently encourage smaller portions, without changing what’s actually being served.

Research also consistently shows that slowing down while eating helps improve awareness of hunger and fullness cues, supporting more mindful portions over time.

At Total Body, we focus on simple, realistic habits that support mindful eating, not restriction or extremes.

If nothing else, think of this as a reminder that small environmental shifts can support better awareness at meals.

🔹 Blue plates
🔹 Slower eating
🔹 Protein + fiber for fullness

No pressure. Just tools you can use if and when they’re helpful!

Around this time of year, it’s common to feel a little more tired than expected, even when you’re taking good care of yourself.

Energy can dip. Focus may come and go. Sleep might not feel quite as refreshing as it did not long ago. It’s not usually one big thing, just a quiet sense that everything takes a bit more effort.

When that happens, it’s natural to start paying closer attention to what might help the body feel steadier. That’s often when conversations about adaptogens start to surface. Adaptogens are herbs, roots, and mushrooms that have been used for centuries in traditional medicine and are studied today for their potential to help the body respond to stress and support balance. Rather than acting as stimulants or sedatives, they’re often described as supportive.

It’s important to know that adaptogens aren’t a cure-all, and research is still evolving. They’re considered dietary supplements, which means they aren’t regulated in the same way as medications. Because of that, it’s wise to talk with a healthcare provider before trying something new, especially if you take medications or manage ongoing health concerns.

Sometimes, the most helpful place to start is simply noticing what your body needs right now. 💛

Think of it as a quick workout for your mind, just like movement is for your body!

January often slips in quietly, without the dramatic reset we sometimes imagine. Instead, it brings small shifts the body tends to notice before the mind catches up.

You might feel tension persisting in your shoulders a bit longer than usual, or notice that tired, heavy feeling after spending more time indoors. Even sleep or focus can feel slightly off as routines settle after the holidays.

Often, this is simply the body adjusting. Shorter days and less light can quietly alter energy, mood, and how rested we feel, even when nothing is actually wrong.

Rather than pushing for a complete reset, it can help to move at a steadier pace. That might mean eating what feels nourishing, moving in ways that support you, or letting rest count as part of what helps you settle right now.

We don’t have to change everything to feel a little better. Sometimes, the body just needs a pause and a bit of support to find its footing again.

As the year begins, notice what helps your body feel a little more at ease. That’s often where steadiness begins. 💛

We’ve all had moments where the screens feel like 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩.

Phones, emails, DMs, notifications…it can all stack up before we even notice.

Technology keeps us connected, but the constant glow of screens can quietly wear on the body, leaving us feeling tired, tense, or scattered. Even a short pause can help restore a sense of balance.

Stepping outside for a few minutes can ease stress and tension.

Sharing a board game can sharpen memory and bring us back into the present moment.

Gentle movement, stretching, or a short walk can help the body release what it’s been holding on to.

A few slow, steady breaths can help calm the body and support healthy blood pressure.

We don’t have to unplug from everything. Sometimes it’s enough to notice what our bodies are asking for—and offer ourselves one slight pause.

What’s one small thing that helps you reset during a busy day? 💚

Today’s cold arrived fast, and many people felt the shift as the day went on! Quick changes in pressure and humidity can make your whole system feel a little off. When the air dries out suddenly, the tissues in your sinuses lose moisture more easily, and this can lead to tightness, pressure, and the heaviness that settles in on days like this. It is the kind of shift your body feels even before your mind catches up.

Some people also notice a little more dryness in their noses on days like this, especially when the indoor heat is running. Cold air holds less moisture, and that dryness can make your sinuses feel more sensitive than usual.

If you found yourself saying “I do not feel very good” by the afternoon, you are not alone! Weather changes like today’s can influence how your head feels, how easily you breathe, and how much energy your body has available.

At your next visit, feel free to mention if sinus pressure or these quick temperature swings have been affecting you. Gentle adjustments, hydration support, and targeted sinus care can help you feel clearer and more comfortable as your body adjusts!

Take good care of yourself tonight. Stay warm, move slowly, and give your system the extra support it needs to settle! 💛
