Fun fact that we haven't disclosed until now. A portion of every single meal sold with Evolve Big Ass Salads + Kitchen Door will be going to local charities in need.

Our first charity is one of our all time favourites and our old neighbors on Cunard Street Souls Harbour. The money raised through this relationship will go directly to helping them get more people in need fed.

Part of the reason we chose to partner with Kitchen Door was because we felt strongly that the values of our businesses and leadership were aligned. When I brought up that I wanted this to be a part of our program, it was an emphatic yes.

We are in the initial part of phase one right now and we have SO much more coming :). Please share with anything you think we could benefit.

Does muscle weigh more than fat?

I was having a great conversation yesterday with someone that was too important not to share.

This time last year they were 10 pounds lighter.

But their body fat percentage is still the same, their clothes fit great and they feel the best they ever have.

How does that work?

You've all seen those comparisons on social media between 5 pounds of muscle and 5 pounds of fat.

I get the question all the time.

Does muscle weigh more than fat.

And the answer may surprise you at first.

They weigh the same.

The trick is that they occupy different amounts of space in your body.

5 pounds of muscle weighs the same as 5 pounds of fat which also weighs the same as 5 pounds of feathers.

5 pounds will always be 5 pounds but the density of the thing that you are weighing is what really matters.

So no, muscle doesn't weigh more than fat.

But muscle occupies less space.

So more muscle and less fat will generally lead to a leaner looking body for someone who weighs 200 pounds compared to another person who weighs 200 pounds but has more fat and less muscle.

And then of course we want more muscle to be stronger, to have a higher metabolism and many other health benefits (and you DO NOT need to be a bodybuilder or be bulky to have more muscle. Heck I lift weights a lot and am not bulky even when I want to be sometimes).

And then of course number two we want to have less fat to lessen our risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes and other negative health outcomes that may arise from higher levels of bodyfat.

With all of that, the most important thing (in my opinion) is being happy and healthy no matter how much muscle and fat you have.

Being physically active, working on our nutrition, sleep and stress is going to end up looking different for everyone. That's the cool thing about life. We are all super unique and no one will ever be like us every again.

I hope this answers a question I get asked ALL of the time.

Limmys Show: Whats heavier a kilogram of steel or a kilogram of feathers Comment what you thought was heavier at first😂

We have an exciting new hire at Evolve Integrated Health with Dr. Andrew Noseworthy. I will let his bio do the talking but he is another great example of bringing on practitioners who share our values and who have a deep understanding of exercise and everything our client's face.

You can book him at www.evolveintegratedhealth.com

----

As a Chiropractor and Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Dr. Andrew's primary focus is on injury rehabilitation and assisting individuals in achieving their movement goals. As a fellow East Coaster, Dr. Andrew is thrilled to call Nova Scotia home after studying and practicing in Toronto, where he had the privilege to gain extensive experience working with various teams and athletes, ranging from weekend warriors to semi-professional and professional athletes.

With a background in teaching, Dr. Andrew places great emphasis on educating his patients and empowering them to take an active role in their care. His educational journey has been comprehensive, starting with a Bachelor in Physical Education, followed by a Bachelor in Education, and culminating with the completion of the Doctor of Chiropractic program at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. Additionally, Dr. Andrew holds certifications in Acupuncture and is a Red Cross Emergency First Responder. His passion for high-level learning allows him to optimize athlete performance and improve injury recovery.

Dr. Andrew's wide-ranging knowledge enables him to take a holistic approach to injuries, unlocking untapped potential for each patient. By combining evidence-based practices with targeted treatments and exercise-based injury rehabilitation that Evolve Integrated Health is known for, he aims to expedite your recovery and performance.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Andrew has a love for staying active and spending quality time outdoors with his friends, family, partner, and pup.

Evolve Integrated Health | Chiro, Massage, Physio and more in Halifax, NS Welcome to Evolve Integrated Health. - A holistic and well-rounded approach to your health.

Evolve Integrated Health is super excited to welcome Physiotherapist Jacob Halloran to the team! You can book him on Tuesdays and Thursdays at www.evolveintegratedhealth.com

I will let his bio do the talking but we are very proud to have Jacob on the team as someone who truly believes in helping others and getting involved in the community. He's also the guy to see if you are a runner!

-----

Jacob Halloran (He/Him) completed a BSc (Honours) in Medical Sciences and Bioethics at Dalhousie University in 2020 before graduating with his Master of Physical Therapy from the University of Western Ontario in August 2022. During his MPT, Jacob completed multiple internships across Southwestern Ontario in clinical settings ranging from sport and orthopaedic conditions to outpatient acquired brain injury and long-COVID rehabilitation. Throughout his studies at Dalhousie and Western Universities, Jacob served as co-captain for multiple varsity cross country and track and field teams. His final season was cut short, however, by a chronic hip-groin injury that turned out to be tears in both his hip labrum and hip adductor tendon. Through his experience, Jacob has come to deeply value the importance of patient advocacy while navigating complex sport- and occupational-related injuries with multiple care providers. He also understands the significant impact physical dysfunction can have on an individual’s mental health, and supports both physical and mental wellness in his clients’ rehabilitation. Jacob has a particular interest in working with lower limb pathologies and acquired brain injury rehabilitation (including acute- and post-concussion rehab), but welcomes clients of all backgrounds and activity levels. Working towards your therapeutic goals with Jacob, you can expect your treatment to be guided by YOUR functional goals, whether that be to return to the highest level of sport or occupational performance or to return to activities at home and in the community with friends and family. Jacob continues to train and compete as a post-collegiate distance runner with the Slow Ships Athletics Club, and also volunteers time coaching with the Dalhousie Tigers Cross Country and Track teams. He enjoys peaceful evenings of board games with friends, exploring local cafes and breweries, and he is always on the lookout for new podcast or show recommendations to keep entertained during his hours of cardio.

Demanding New Health Clinic Seeking Exceptional Full Time Front Desk Staff

Evolve Integrated Health is looking for a highly organized, detail oriented individual to fulfill a unique set of needs. We are building up a business that is going to make a huge impact on the health of our community and we need someone who is equally passionate about helping others to work at the front desk.

If you happen to possess the skills and personality traits we are looking for, this may very well be your dream job. Seriously.

You’ll have the opportunity to be a part of an organization that has been making a positive impact in the community and the lives of Nova Scotians for 14 years with a new venture that has grown incredibly quickly over the last few months. You will be rewarded for your hard work and dedication with this growth.
If you genuinely love people (and seeing them succeed), solving problems, being super-organized, creating highly-effective systems, and working in a fast growing and fast moving organization, then this job could be for you.

You need to operate at a high level and have impeccable written and verbal communication skills so that nothing falls through the cracks.

All that said, you must be the type of person that thrives in this fast paced environment, and keep all of our team and clients running on schedule.

The perfect person for this position looks for any way they might help make our days easier. We have a lot of moving parts going on and need help keeping things organized and running smoothly while ensuring each client gets the care they deserve.

Your role will also include the following tasks:
-answering phones and emails,
-managing/booking appointments, invoicing, taking payments, 3rd party insurance billing
-laundry
-keeping the clinic clean and organized
-assisting practitioners as needed
-working closely with all departments to ensure the smooth running of daily operations
-acting as client concierge and liaison for our amazing clients and prospects
-acting as a liaison between practitioners and lawyers/insurance adjusters

In short, the right person is able to thrive in a fast paced environment with a smile on their face.
The right person:
-Has an admin diploma, medical terminology course or similar
- Has 1-2 years experience as a front desk for a health clinic or similar. Experience with Jane would be very useful
- Incredibly proactive. They look for things that need to be done and they do them. They don't wait around until they are told to do something.
- Organized. We need someone who is deeply, obsessively organized and makes sure we have everything running smoothly.
- Flexible. You need to be comfortable when plans change when things go wrong. We need someone with a cool head and a can-do attitude.
- Is an excellent communicator: both written and verbal.
- A FAST learner. We will expose you to many, many new opportunities. If you can't pick up new concepts fast, you'll be lost and we will be frustrated.
- Has discretion and can maintain confidentiality.
- And bonus points if you’re a perfectionist. There’s nothing wrong with getting things right.
-Daytime and evenings availability is a must.

Compensation is competitive and varies based on experience but you will have a base hourly wage, full benefits, a free Evolve Fitness membership for both you and 1 immediate family member, and staff discounts on health services.

We are looking for the right person who wants to be deeply involved in the success of the business. You have an opportunity to free up a lot of our time to focus on things in the business that will help us grow faster. If you are the right person, this could be a deeply rewarding position and one that has massive growth potential.

You must be able to be in Halifax on Strawberry Hill full time for this position and also be available for running errands around HRM.

So, if you think you might be the right person for this job, send me your resume and, more importantly, a cover letter. We don't want a generic cover letter. Instead, tell us why, in detail, YOU are the right person for this position.

Please email your cover letter and resume to [email protected]

Thank you so much to everyone who took time out of their busy days to vote for Evolve Best Gym, Mitchy Best Trainer and Meech Best Instructor in the Coast Awards.

Individual recognition is great and Meech and Mitch certainly deserve it for how they make a difference at Evolve.

With that, we do consider these awards team awards. We don't exist and we certainly don't make the difference that we do with our clients and community without a team full of trainers (across locations) who share our values and who care as much as we do.

So thank you to the entire Evolve team and community. We appreciate you and will be aiming to get in The Coast Hall of Fame next year with 10 straight wins for Best Gym!

Meet Grace Anderson!

She's our amazing new Dietitian at Evolve Integrated Health.

We are SO excited to have her on the team. Her values align perfectly with ours, she understands exercise and what you all are getting up to at Evolve, and she is a St. FX grad to make things even better.

You may have benefits that cover time spent with a dietitian and I highly recommend checking in on that as I do believe that 99% of us should have a chat with a dietitian who can help us identify the little (and big) things we could be doing differently to make an impact on our health and our family's health.

You can book in here and please share

We are open and we are ready to change the game for preventative health.

At Evolve Integrated Health we offer:
-physiotherapy
-chiropractic
-massage therapy
-acupuncture
-athletic therapy
-dietetics (coming soon)

And a one of a kind health and fitness assessment to help you live your best life, forever.

You can book us at www.evolveintegratedhealth.com or send us a message for any questions.

Thanks for being here.
