โค๏ธStudies have shown that taking vacations is linked with a lower risk of high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and metabolic syndrome โ which are all related to heart disease, the leading cause of death.
๐โโ๏ธANDโฆ during vacations, weโre more active, get more sleep, and have less stress โ all of which are tied to better health
The big question is: where are you going? Whatโs your ultimate vacation? Let me know!
Save this and follow me for more health and wellness tips!
๐ฒ Hate to break it to you, but there are some things you HAVE to do every dayโฆ
Things like brushing your teeth, making the bed, going to work, cooking meals, loading the dishwasher, taking out the trash, etc.
Yes, you *can* miss a day or two. But go too long, and things can get uncomfortableโฆ fast! ๐ตโ๐ซ
Itโs the same thing with your health.
If you want to achieve optimal health and wellness, you have to commit to daily healthy habits.
Why?
Because consistent small actions lead to sustainable long-term results, and our holistic approach integrates these habits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
๐งโโ๏ธ Doing a little bit every day is a whole lot easier โ and a lot more attainable โ than trying to do it all at once.
Even if you start by just taking a few minutes tonight to prep tomorrowโs breakfast and lunch, youโre taking a step in the right direction!
Your workouts are a great example of this โ a few minutes is always better than nothing! Thatโs why I recently released a handy new resource to help you stick with your fitness routine even if you only have a few minutes to work out. Comment โWORKOUTSโ to get my FREE Back Pocket Travel Workouts eBook, designed to empower you with quick and effective workouts!
๐ก Want my BEST tip on getting started with being more active?
START WHERE YOU ARE.
Do a little: a short workout, a walk, just MOVE.
Then, add more as you get fitter.
Keep it simple!
๐ Only 1 in 4 adults and 1 in 5 adolescents in the US meet the activity guidelines.
If youโre in that group, getting started can feel overwhelming.
But it doesnโt have to be! Start small, and as it gets easier, add on!
Youโll be amazed at the difference you can feel almost immediately in your energy and mood.

Hereโs the full recipe ๐. I'd love to hear how your Tomato-Basil Grilled Wild Salmon turns out, so feel free to share your experience in the comments!
Tomato-Basil Grilled Wild Salmon
(serves 4)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp sea salt, divided
1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 whole wild salmon fillet (about 1ยฝ lbs or 680 g)
โ
cup plus ยผ cup thinly sliced fresh basil, divided (about 15g + 10g, divided)
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
ยผ tsp freshly ground pepper
Preheat your grill to medium. (If using an oven, preheat to 425ยบF/220ยบC).
Mash the minced garlic and half the salt on a cutting board to form a paste. Place in a small bowl and stir in the olive oil.
Check the salmon for bones and remove (using tweezers) if necessary.
Lay out a large piece of foil and coat with cooking spray.
Place the salmon skin-side down on the foil, and spread the garlic mixture evenly over the fish. Sprinkle with โ
cup (15 g) of basil. Arrange the tomato slices on top, and season with the remaining salt and pepper.
Place the salmon on the grill or in the oven. Grill for 10-12 minutes (or bake for about 20 minutes) until the fish easily flakes.
When done, put the salmon on a serving platter and garnish with the remaining basil.

๐ก Your fitness formula when your schedule is busy:
Short workouts โIntensity = ๐ช
When you bring the intensity โ e.g., short periods of hard work mixed with lighter activity, you donโt have to work out as long to get the same (or better!) results.
Here are just a few benefits of shorter, intense workouts:
๐โโ๏ธ Efficient Weight Loss โ youโll get the same calorie-burning benefits as regular workouts but in much less time.
โค๏ธ Better Heart Health, Blood Pressure, and Blood Sugar Levels โitโll boost your bodyโs ability to use energy in ways that can make your heart healthier
๐ง Good For Your Brain โ it helps with learning, memory, and fighting the effects of aging
๐๏ธ Builds Bone Density โ high-intensity resistance training beats moderate-intensity resistance training to improve bone health.

๐คโDo I have to look in the mirror when I work out?โ
In a word: No.
But watching your muscles in the mirror can help you maintain proper form and avoid injuries during workouts.
When I watch my form in the mirror, Iโm looking for things like:
โ๏ธ Knee alignment during squats
โ๏ธ Shoulders hunching during upper body exercises
โ๏ธ Overextending my back during deadlifts
โฆ Especially if Iโm tired, sore, or finding it hard to focus that day.
Still, if you donโt love looking at yourself in the mirror while youโre working out, hereโs a tip:
๐กWhile watching your form in the mirror, focus on how your muscles FEEL rather than just how they look.
This helps you get more out of your workout AND removes some of the discomfort you might feel when you watch yourself in the mirror.
