Make your nutrition part of your healthy lifestyle. The hype isn’t reality How many times have you jumped on the newest diet trend and took an L? Why didn’t you stick with it? Because it was pretty ridiculous and something that’s impossible to implement 365 days…

Does Nutrition Matter for Growing Kids?

This is an emphatic YES! If you haven’t taken notice, as the adult obesity rate rises in the US, childhood obesity is also creeping up. This is quite concerning on many levels. Our youth is who will one day run this great nation and if we aren’t taking care of their health and leading by example, who will and what type of future will they have?

Eat This Fat to Improve Your Health

Fat seems like such a curse word these days. All of these “gurus” are saying to reduce fat intake and remove all saturated fat from your diet to improve your health. Who even gave these individuals that title? Most of them are self-proclaimed gurus (whatever that term really even means these days). What do they know? But, what I can tell you is that you shouldn’t be afraid of fat. At least not the fat we are about to…

Eating Healthy Isn’t Expensive… Getting Sick Is.

Whether you want to believe it or not, over 60% of Americans are considered overweight or obese. Not to poke fun at anyone, but look around you. Look to your left. Look to your right.

Energize Your Mind and Body Through Proper Nutrition

Let’s play a little scenario where you can take a look at your own life and grasp a solid understanding of how nutrition plays a role in energizing your mind and body. I’ll use the example of going to a Chinese buffet. You roll up, grab a plate, and fill it to the point where you need two hands to carry it back. You annihilate the food on your plate and go up for seconds… and thirds… and then…

Get Summer Body Ready

It’s undeniable that abs are made in the kitchen. We’ve heard it a million times that you are what you eat.

Own the AM Own the Day

Do you love to sleep? Are you the type of person who if you don’t set an alarm you’d roll out of bed after 10 am? Or better yet, are you the type of person who has their alarm go off during the week, you hit the snooze and roll back over, the alarm goes off again and you hit the snooze until you finally realize you’re going to be late to work and jump out of bed like…

Resistance Training Might Be Only Be 20% of Your Success But It’s 100% Necessary

When it comes to building the body of your dreams, around 80% of the equation comes from nutrition while what seems like a dismal 20% comes from resistance training. Yet, without resistance training, you’re only shooting yourself in the foot when it comes to building lean muscle mass and dropping body fat. Yes, it’s true that rest and recovery is part of the process, but if you aren’t training properly that wouldn’t even matter. So, why is resistance training…

Slow Down Your Life to Speed Up Your Metabolism

We all live in a fast-paced society. We wake up, rush to work, rush home, rush to make dinner, rush the kids to soccer practice, rush home to put them to bed. The commonality here is that we RUSH everything. This type of lifestyle is one that promotes poor choices and unhealthy behaviors. We ultimately start gaining weight and before we know it we are out of shape, can barely walk up the stairs without getting winded, and ultimately…
