Let's learn to how to do a step-up. It is not only a great exercise, but learning to step up (onto steps, curbs, or getting up from the floor) is something we need to be able to do to remain FUNCTIONAL. Check out the video and let us know what you think!

Stepping up is something that happens a lot in everyday life. The pattern of a step-up requires strength and balance which can be challenging. A lack of stre...

Not eating enough fiber can contribute to imbalanced blood sugars, digestive symptoms, high cholesterol, and even hormonal imbalances. On the other hand, a diet high in fiber can reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, hemorrhoids, IBS, and many other chronic health conditions.

Would you like to increase your fiber intake?

Don't pass up on this important nutrient!

Soluble Fiber
-Dissolves in water to form a gel, which slows the digestion of food. Soluble fiber serves as food for the helpful bacteria in the gut, improving the composition and diversity of the gut microbiome. Soluble fiber can also lower blood sugar and cholesterol.

Insoluble Fiber
-Absorbs water, but does not dissolve. It helps move food and waste through the digestive system, which promotes regular bowel movements and prevents constipation.

As a society we usually run around trying to get as many things accomplished as possible. If we're not being "productive" we are lazy.
Part of productivity is having down time to recover. So on this take time to recover and center yourself.

Even if it's too hot to go out for a walk or practice outdoor sports it is important to remain active. If you need ideas visit our YouTube channel! Remember to stay hydrated too!

It is dangerously hot out there, and surfaces that are exposed to the sun all day long accumulate heat. Please do not take your pets out for walks, their paws are sensitive.
If you happen to be stranded remember to always carry a thick blanket in your car in case you need to sit on pavement, even in the shade.

Back to school is around the corner. Help your children keep their backs safe and sound with the following backpack tips:

1. The top of the backpack should not extend above the shoulders, and the bottom of the backpack should not hang more than 4 inches below the waist. The wide, padded straps should be adjusted so that the backpack fits snugly against the back.

2. Pack heavier items closer to the child's back, rather than at the front of the backpack where they can pull the child backward. Use all of the pockets and compartments in the backpack to distribute the weight more evenly.

3. A child's backpack should not weigh more than 10-15% of their body weight. If your child's backpack is too heavy, remove some of the items from the backpack to lighten the load.

4. Use both straps when carrying a backpack to distribute the weight more evenly and reduce the strain on the child's back. Using the waist strap can help to further stabilize the backpack and reduce the risk of injury.

5. Finally, it's a good idea to encourage your child to take breaks when carrying their backpack. This can help prevent muscle imbalances and reduce the risk of strain and injury.

Imagine your car stops on your way somewhere. You might appreciate having:
-A thick blanket should you or your passengers need to sit on the sidewalk
-A wide-brim hat and sunscreen to protect you from the sun
-Water, especially in a non-plastic container
-A collapsible water bowl for your dog(s)
-A first aid kit
Don't be caught unprepared. What else can you think of?

Adhesive capsulitis- when the capsule of the shoulder joint gets inflamed, produces pain, and decreases range of motion. It is uncertain why frozen shoulder happens, but prolonged immobilization and faulty mechanics can play a role.

Cauliflower rice has risen to fame in the last few years. This particular recipe is not only tasty but also bears several epinutrients. The methyl donors are bay leaf, onion, garlic, ginger, coconut, tomato, cauliflower, and mint. The DNA methylation adaptogens are cinnamon and the above listed.

What is methylation you ask? We will get into that later! For now, enjoy this recipe, maybe accompanied by some grilled shrimp or chicken. Enjoy!

Activity or rest. Which one works better for you?

For some, going for a walk is the best medicine, while for others taking a warm Epsom salts bath is the way to go.

Miso is a fermented paste made of soybeans and other grains. It is typically used in Asian food and is loaded with probiotics, vitamins, and minerals that support gut and overall health. Miso soup is a wonderful, healing dish for during and following an illness.

Miso can be white, yellow, red, and black. The color variation is due to the grains used and the fermentation time. The most common you will find in stores is white, yellow, or red. Usually, the darker the miso the stronger the flavor (umami, or savory).

Although miso is safe for most people to consume, if you have a soy or grain allergy, or you need to watch your sodium intake, consult your healthcare provider before introducing it to your diet.

We may sometimes become overwhelmed with all the lifestyle changes we want to make to live healthier, happier, more fulfilling lives. What if we picked one, worked on it, and then we moved on the next one? Making a lifestyle change isn't always easy but it shouldn't be overwhelming, either.

Happy Monday!
I am excited to announce that we will be conducting a 'movement challenge' starting April 17 on the group Get Active, Arizona!
The challenge is comprised of two days of strength training, one day of cardio/strength, and one day of Yin Yoga.
This challenge is designed to get us moving and exploring the ways to get stronger muscles and target the very much forgotten fascia. All exercises can be done with as little or as much intensity as you choose, and modifications will be given for each one.
Please join us on Get Active, Arizona! for this and future challenges!

We sometimes say "I don't have time to exercise" or "I can't find the time to do it." Well, we are here to encourage you to look for any opportunity to get some movement in!
Maybe it's a 5 minute walk around your yard after breakfast. Maybe it's a 10 minute walk around your office building at lunchtime. Perhaps you do a short moving routine between meetings. Whatever it is, schedule it as you would any other task. You'll see it's much easier to stick to it this way 🙂

Our Story

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.
