🛑 STOP SCROLLING 🛑

Are you searching video after video to find the solution to your pain?

Searching “mobility” and “stretches” or “exercises” for *insert your pain here*

What you’ll find online are broad, generalized, overly simplified answers and common suggestions for what could be going on with you.

Stop scrolling 🤳

It’s time you see someone who will help you understand your pain, give you a better expectation & longer term solutions to what’s going on.

Did you know that most of your weight loss and health goals can be improved and/or achieved when dialing in your nutrition?

Staples for BOTH — health & weight loss goals:

🍗 Prioritize lean protein — about 30 g per meal!

🥗Focus on adding non-starchy vegetables to every single meal or snack — low calorie, high nutrient content, high fiber & very filling

🥑 Add a moderate fat source to each meal for balancing blood sugars and helping you stay full — bonus if this is a healthy fat like avocado, olive oil, nuts/nut butters or a protein source that has both (like salmon!)

💧 Stay hydrated with low calorie options like plain water with lemon or lime, seltzers & non caffeinated herbal teas

Not only do all of these tips focus on ADDING something to your diet to maintain a healthy mindset (arguably most important), but they also can help to 👇

⬇️ decrease weight, inflammation, cholesterol, high blood sugar, risk of chronic health conditions

⚖️ balance hormones, aiding with sleep, mental health, stress, and natural bodily processes

⬆️ increase energy levels, muscle mass, recovery after exercise, mobility, mood & more!

Nutrition is one of the hardest things to change, but makes one of the biggest differences in our health.

Maintaining muscle mass and strength is crucial for preserving joint health and mobility.

The “use it or lose it” principle emphasizes that regular movement and strength training can help to keep muscles strong, joints flexible, and your range of motion in tact.

Without consistent use, muscles and mobility both decline, making it crucial for overall health and longevity.

The truth is…

We know what we need to be doing.

We know exercise and strength training improve our day to day function, health and quality of life.

But it’s more than just knowing we “should”.

There are so many barriers that can get in the way of actually starting & being consistent.

Vulnerabilities, previous pain or injury, fear of falling, arthritis and degeneration, fear of hurting oneself, not knowing where or how to start, how much weight to use or what exercises are safe to do…

There are so many questions and unknowns that stop us dead in our tracks from doing anything at all.

That’s why we’re here.

Whether you’re ready for a group, or need more individualized attention due to a complicated health history… we have your solution.

If you know what needs to be done, but don’t know how or where to start…

Over the holidays we’ve had LOTS of delicious, healthy (and some not so healthy!) eats. Here are the few I captured!

- Vanilla Chia Protein Pancakes
- Mediterranean Steak Salads
- Chicken Fajita Bowls
- Adult Lunchable Snack Plate
- Quinoa, Chicken, Brussel Sprout & Parmesan Bake
- Creamy Sausage Ditalini Soup (swapped for elbow pasta since that’s what we had)
- My family’s favorite holiday cookie — chocolate crinkles!

Balance in life is one of the only answers to healthy relationships with food and yourself, especially during the holidays. Finding moderation and time to indulge, while also honoring what your body functions and feels best consuming, helps our bodies and our minds navigate funky times when we’re out of routine.

Food has always been fun for me — learning about it, cooking it, and especially eating it 😂

I love to get creative and make normal recipes a little healthier by adding more veggies, color, fiber & protein.

It’s how my body feels its best — and not just in the gym.

When we balance our meals, we have:
📊 Stable energy levels throughout the day
💪 Less soreness & better recovery for your next workout
😊 A better & more balanced mood
🧠 Brain power to focus & get things done
😴 Better quality sleep & don’t wake up starving
📉 No blood sugar crashes or extra fatigue mid-day
🤧 Better tissue healing & repair

Food is fuel.

An object in motion, stays in motion — even you! 🤸

Newton’s first law of motion wasn’t really meant to be applied to humans staying active, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a helpful reference.

Picking up the habit of exercising, strength training, walking & moving our bodies DAILY is a tough one when you’re used to be sedentary.

It takes time to build a new habit & it takes some trial and error to really find a routine that works well for you.

But once that habit becomes second nature, your body will thank you for it.

Nervous to get started? Not sure how to start due to pain or injury? Always get started and get hurt?👇
