Squats are essentials but form is #1 reason why most people get pain from squatting.

When doing air squats go down as if there is a rope pulling your butt down on almost a 45 degree angle with the focus of your weight on your heels and not on your toes. Look straight and keep your chest up

The exercise everyone should be doing at home during the pandemic: Squats Squats improve strength and stability and are especially helpful for older people.

Summary: obesity is getting huge, literally and figuratively. My goal is to help solve this problem and hopefully make a dent on future numbers. The numbers are pointing to almost 50% of adults will have obesity (BMI of 30+) by 2030 and that is not ok! Athanasius combined different aspects of care to fight this as I recognized in my first year of being a nurse practitioner that one field alone cannot solve this problem, not for those who are really struggling. I combined 4 areas and are offering them in one place to avoid multiple trips and for you to have a provider that can piece all the piece of the puzzle together to help you achieve the you that you have always been wishing for!

Primary care, mental health, psychiatry and mens health(Testosterone replacement therapies) have been shown to affect metabolism, mood and energy! Care is personalized and prioritized here at athanasius which is why we only take cash, credit card and HSA Accounts.

Put your guards down and let me put my shields up for you.

Another good one, this is why weight loss consults takes me 30-45 min sometimes 60 even. You have to put the psychology of things in the patients brain. Its not a need its a must! The meds help yes but if you cannot put the right mindset to someone before the bell curve peaks or don’t put the learning before the curve descends then it will fail.

How did i get the name athanasius? Its from St. Athanasius of alexandria. St. Athanasius. He fought for what he believed in and got exiled five times for it cost him 17 years of his life. Thats what this company is all about going against the norms. Its not ok to ignore weight to fix mental health or fix obesity at the cost of mental health. They go hand in hand. The moment you see a problem when you fix the other and you didn’t do anything about it is the moment you start ignoring things and that becomes a habit.

Whey vs whey isolate vs meal replacements
-Whey is plain basic protein shake
-Whey isolate is finer whey which has lesser carbs per serving
-Meal replacements are usually whey isolate with included vitamins and minerals to simulate a healthy plate of food

Food is best but if you don’t have a healthy meal or appetite its best to use meal replacement as needed. Yes you might take multivitamins and tell yourself you don’t need a meal replacement but you have to remember the body can only absorb a certain amount at a time to spread out healthy meals is also important. 💯

Pick your meat wisely, its not all about protein when trying to shed some pounds. Look at total fat and also the way your meat gets cook will make a big difference. Salmon might have more fat that beef but its likely to give you healthy fats that the body would love to have, but be mindful that even healthy fats have its limit and when you go above that limit it will work against you vs for you. Play around with powdered seasoning which is a good way to avoid fat when trying to put some flavor on your meals 👌
