From James Clear's thoughts:
Bad things are always happening loudly: the injury, the flat tire, the mistake that gets you criticized. Everybody talks about the moments that make things a hassle.
Good things are always happening quietly: the completed workout, the healthy meal, the ten minutes of writing. Nobody talks about the little moments that add up.

Something to ponder:
If you met your 25-year old self, what would you tell her/him to stop postponing?

Build your plate with the following in mind:
--Protein (meat, chicken, eggs, dairy, soy)- building blocks for muscle, hair, skin, body composition.
--Fiber (fruits/veggies)- for satiety and gut health.
--Healthy fats (seeds, nuts, EVOO, etc.)- heart health, brain health, body composition.
WE CAN HELP YOU FIGURE THIS OUT!

There is beauty all around us, yet we miss so much of it because we get lost in the digital world. So, for one day this month, challenge yourself to go phone-free.
Fun idea:
--get your family or friends to do this with you.
--set a day and come together to chat, play games, have a picnic, etc.
--everyone puts their phones on silent and get immersed in the present moment.

A good night's sleep starts in the morning! Aim to get at least 20 minutes of morning light before checking your phone or turning on TVs and computers. This is also the time to check your vitamin D. Check your levels and adjust accordingly with sunshine and supplementation.

What if we gave ourselves daily gifts? Wouldn't we feel so special and celebrated? Let's start this trend!

Mindfulness means different things to everyone. For some, it means sitting quietly while observing the breath. For others, it's meditation or prayer. For some it means paying close attention to what our senses pick up- sounds, taste, what we see, and what we feel.
What does it mean to you?

It's peach season! And it's getting hot! How about trying this refreshing iced tea?
Bonus points: save the mashed peaches and enjoy a spoonful every time you want something sweet and cold. Yum!

It's been a while since we've shared a recipe. Some people hesitate to try tofu because they're not sure how to cook it, or is simply an unknown ingredient. Tofu is made of soybeans and it is a great source of protein. On its own it has no flavor so it will absorb the flavors of whatever you cook it with. It is always a good idea to lightly season it before cooking it. Have fun trying something new!
(And if you're still not sure about tofu, you can swap it out for good ol' chicken :) )

Gray Cook said, "Move well, then move often." This is an important part of our Functional Medicine philosophy.
This principle applies to athletes, elderly, moms, those dealing with chronic disease, kids, grandparents, everyone! It is directly connected to quality of life.
First, you have to be able to properly move. That may mean simply walking without limping, standing up without pain, or being able to bend over. Or, it may mean having good range of motion and form when performing a sport so you can push yourself to the next level. If you aren’t moving and you aren’t moving properly, your entire health will suffer for it.
If you sit too long, you have most likely shortened your hip flexors and messed with the curvature of the lumbar spine. When you go to stand or walk, you may have pain in your low back or your gait will be impaired.
If you broke your ankle, wore a cast, but skipped the physical therapy, you might be moving but your ankle may still not have full range of motion. This could impair your gait and lead to later problems in the knee, pelvis, spine, shoulders, and neck.
Second, (after you can move well) you should move often.
How this ties to Functional Medicine:
If you can't move because it hurts, you can’t do things that make you happy, which impairs your quality of life and may depress you.
If you can't move, your body will not use certain substances that need to be used in order for your brain to function, your pancreas to function, and your blood pressure to be stable.
If you can't move you may develop sleep problems. If you can't sleep your brain can't clean itself, which may lead to increased chances of developing a cognitive issue.
When it comes to holistic health, movement should be given the same importance as nutrition and supplementation.
Having "movement health" not only is beneficial for your physical body, but also for your brain, heart, and every other system in your body.
