Are you getting tired of shaving? Wasting away your mornings getting rid of that unwanted hair?

It's time to take control & throw that razor away!

*LASER HAIR REMOVAL*
Permanently reduce unwanted hair for that desirable, silky-smooth skin.

Laser hair removal is one of the most common cosmetic procedures in the United States. It’s a convenient way for the long-term reduction of hair on the body and face. This laser treatment typically leaves the skin feeling and looking smoother while providing longer-lasting results compared to other options for hair removal. We recommend a series of 4–6 treatments spaced one month apart for the best results.

Areas Treated:
• Back
• Arms
• Legs
• Face
• Neck
• Chest
• Intimate areas

Some coaches are still trying to implement a “one size fits all method” without taking in account individual variance. That’s why I always do screening with our patients/clients before I have them even touch an Olympic bar.

Sometimes it's a matter of proper stretching and foam rolling (self-myofascial release) to identify tight/over-active IT bands. Other times, it's about how the individual is structured.

Not everyone fits a “textbook” bone structure. Variations in the way our hips are formed will impact how we move, especially with the squat. Some athletes will be able to squat with their toes 100% straightforward (often those with anteversion) and others will have to turn their toes out at an angle in order to reach full depth (such as those with retroversion). The deeper you squat, the more important it is to squat for your anatomy.

If you want to learn how , our Kinesiologist, can screen your form & find the most optimal squat stance for you, drop us an email: [email protected]
This picture is from a presentation by S. Steppacher about “Pelvic incidence of acetabular retroversion” in session 3 of Bern Hip Symposium in 2018 (video available on YouTube).
Disclaimer: your anatomy is only ONE factor in finding your ideal squat stance. Mobility & stability are other very important factors that need to be taken into consideration. Most people have not fully uncovered their full mobility potential - so you must also screen & address any potential limitations here in order to truly find your best squat stance & depth.

Let’s chat about this…

Everyone deserves to be supported, not shamed in their health journey.

Creating momentum in a fitness journey and building self-confidence can already be a daunting task where we could all be a little more supportive of each other… especially on the internet.

BUT, appreciating yourself for who you are (to include loving your body), is not mutually exclusive from wanting to live a long, healthy, and otherwise disease-free life to participate in experiences and relationships with friends and loved ones (including yourself).

There is also nothing wrong with wanting to improve your current health status or physical appearance, regardless of who you are, where you’re from, as long as you’re starting… (kinda like Backstreet Boys lyrics, but for fitness).

It’s also ok to have different goals when it comes to life- not everyone wants to be shredded or chase the glute gains.

There is a strong, undeniable relationship between increased adiposity and metabolic syndrome. Further, this relationship continues between metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular risk, and all cause mortality.

I want people to be healthy. Really healthy. But these are the (unfortunate) stats:
🆘From 1999–2000 through 2017–2018, the prevalence of obesity increased from 30.5% to 42.4%, and the prevalence of severe obesity increased from 4.7% to 9.2%.
🆘Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer that are some of the leading causes of preventable, premature death.
🆘The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the United States was $147 billion in 2008 US dollars; the medical cost for people who have obesity was $1,429 higher than those of normal weight

If you're needing some help in starting your journey, contact BDH today. This isn't an 'I'll start on Monday/next week/next month' decision. Acting now will only get you closer to a healthier lifestyle. 617-304-1965 or [email protected]

I have for you the 6 Biggest Lies about increasing your metabolism/adding lean muscle mass:

#1 - You must do back squats.
#2 - You shouldn't deadlift.
#3 - You have to bench press.
#4 - You have to train more than 3 times per week.
#5 - High volume (light weight + a ton of reps) training is more effective.
#6 - Those that look 'advanced' in the gym are the best sources of information.

Drop us a DM if you have any questions about these lies along with additional information on other widely assumed fitness related topics that you may have heard. Our Health Coach, Josh, will provide you with the most accurate, scientifically and reality-based answers.

🌟 The 2 BIGGEST myths about FAT LOSS you need to know.

❌MYTH: I have to restrict the foods I love to eat in order to lose fat. 🍩

✅ FACT: You can absolutely eat the foods you love AND lose fat!
Your body needs energy to survive. That's calories! If you take away that energy your body will go into "starvation mode" and start hanging on to that very fat you want to lose! Not only that, you will be miserable telling yourself, “I can’t eat carbs/bread/cake/dessert and still lose fat.”

This is why the problem is not HOW MANY calories, most people need to be eating MORE to lose weight not less. It's about eating the right kind of calories for your goals and body type. This includes incorporating the foods you LOVE to eat!

❌MYTH: I can run away the fat. 🏃‍♀️

✅ FACT: Although running can burn calories, it can often leave you looking flabby and disappointed once the weight is gone. While losing weight is great, we want to LOVE how we look when it's all said and done.

Combining weights and cardio will provide the fastest most flattering weight loss! And you don’t need to exercise all day long, just make sure you are doing the right moves.

Modernizing Primary Care

Medical care should not be a system. It should be a relationship.

We’ve modernized the physician-patient relationship, and everyone's invited. At Boston Direct Health, we’re inspired to make a positive difference in your life, whether you’re self-employed, a corporate executive, or an LGBTQ young adult. Through direct primary care, a new and innovative medical philosophy, we can overcome the barriers and restrictions placed by insurance companies and focus on what matters most: you.

Our physicians have an open door and an open heart. We firmly believe that no patient should ever feel judged or uncomfortable when talking about their medical concerns, irrespective of race, age, gender, nationality, religion, or sexual orientation.

At your very first visit, you will meet with one of our private physicians for an in-depth, taboo-free conversation about your medical history. Our bodies are genetically and biochemically unique, and our extensive background in functional medicine helps us then develop a medical plan tailored to your needs. We also specialize in identifying health risks and minimizing your potential for injuries and costly medical procedures.
