👀 When this nutrition client came to me in May she wanted weight loss, but when we set her SMART goal we realized she needed to focus on sleep first. 😴

🏋️‍♂️ There are so many factors that affect weight loss and being able to “tone up”. Working out certainly plays a part in these goals, but your nutrition, sleep habits, stress and hormones play a bigger part. Especially once you’re over 40!

🎉 In the almost 7 months working together by Zoom she has had some big wins with sleep and other daily habits. We only just started diving deep into nutrition the last few weeks!

🕰️ Changing habits takes time. It’s like cooking in a crock pot, NOT a microwave. Changing your habits is what will lead to a lifetime of healthier choices. Run from anyone who tells you otherwise.

❓What step can you take today to start your habit changes?

Yoga helps with depression. Studies prove it. 💖

“After eight weeks, yoga participants had a significantly greater reduction in depressive symptoms than waitlisted participants, as assessed through what’s known as the clinician-rated Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS-CR) scale.

Also, investigators observed that 59.3 percent of yoga participants had a 50 percent or greater decrease in symptoms, compared with 6.3 percent of waitlist participants. Moreover, 44 percent in the yoga arm achieved such low IDS-CR scores that their depression was considered in remission, compared with 6.3. percent in the waitlist arm.

Heated yoga may reduce depression in adults In a randomized controlled clinical trial, heated yoga sessions led to reduced depressive symptoms in adults with moderate-to-severe depression.

🦶 I’ve spent the last 3 weeks recovering from foot surgery. It’s been quiet the process. I’m missing my daily workouts but making good use of that extra time creating the “Calm and Focused Kids in the Classroom” training. Currently this is offered in person for PD days, but as of January it will be offered digitally as a self paced course!
👀 Stay tuned for future posts about joining the waitlist for this incredible opportunity to help your students and children calm down and focus. Hint: it may help you do the same. 😉

Weight loss doesn’t have to mean deprivation and crankiness! And to me, life without chocolate would be pure torture 😩 Thankfully, you can nourish your body with chocolate and lose weight at the same time 🙌🏼

If it sounds too good to be true, then it’s too good to be true. Regular chocolate can be full of sugar and pack a ton of calories. 👀

If you want to lose weight while eating chocolate, you must choose the right kind of chocolate and do so in moderation.

Choose organic, dark chocolate with a 70% or higher cocoa content, and be sure to check the ingredients for added sugar. I nibble on a piece of extra dark chocolate made by Lily's Sweets whenever I want a small indulgence 🍫💕

Does the idea of eating healthier make you panic? Is your first thought that you must buy special food and completely change your lifestyle? Does “eating better” p**s you off even a smidge? 🥴

I’m sharing part 1 of the 7 easy tips you can incorporate without ever setting foot in the grocery store or cracking open a cookbook. Eating better is something EVERYONE can do to improve their health. And it doesn’t have to be time-consuming, difficult, or stressful. Try these easy steps to improving your diet right now 🤌🏼

Stay tuned for part 2! 😊

Sometimes this client doesn’t want to workout. She will push back and tell me not to come. I go anyway. 100% of the time we have good conversation and an even better workout. 💪🏼 Does your trainer show up and make you laugh? If not, it’s time to find a new one. 🙋🏽‍♀️ 😉

Did you know that when you drink a can of soda and eat a candy bar, you have just suppressed your immune system for 6 hours? 😳😞

This is why we notice some children getting sick after this Easter Holiday and all the candy that is consumed. Their immune systems are being attacked!

Sugar creates destructive bacteria that hangs out in our intestines. Our immune system resides largely in our gut and the more bad bacteria that it has to get rid of, the harder it is for the immune system to fight disease.

Explain to them what is happening in their bodies when too much candy is consumed, and find balance during this Easter season.
