LOOKING FOR A HEALTHIER, HAPPIER LIFE?

Why is it so hard to improve our healthy habits? To make better choices? To take the necessary steps to live healthier, happier lives?

Maybe it's because you don't know what to do. You've never been taught the true fundamentals of nutrition and physical activity. There's a TON of information out there - some of it accurate and some of it not so much.

Maybe you're confused. With the plethora of diets and fitness programs out there, maybe you don't even know where to begin. Is Keto right for you? What about Weight Watchers? Fitness class, yoga, or just walking in your neighborhood? Strength training, or no? If so, how much should you be lifting?

Most of us have at least an IDEA of what we should be doing. We know we probably eat too much processed food, too much sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats. We know we're not getting enough fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein with each meal. We also know we're not moving our bodies enough - we are more sedentary than we should be.

So, if we KNOW all these things, what is stopping us from living a healthier life?

The answer may be a little surprising.

Most of us are missing GUIDANCE, SUPPORT, MOTIVATION, and ACCOUNTABILITY.

Information is out there. The internet, books, videos. You can find the knowledge.

But IMPLEMENTING that knowledge is another matter. How many of you have a person in your life whose sole purpose is to help you figure out what to do; how to make healthy choices; encourage, motivate, and support you every step of the way; hold you accountable each week to the goals you've set?

And to do all of these things with no judgement; or shaming if you fall short of your goal?

If you've tried making better choices or changing your habits, but haven't been able to make anything stick yet, maybe it's time to consider another way.

Adding a professional to your "team" who can offer guidance, help you stay motivated when it gets tough, provide support when you're struggling, and help you be accountable to yourself and your goals.

Hiring a health coach might be the missing piece to your health puzzle.

I’m Going to Tell You the SECRET No One in the Fitness Industry Wants You to Hear….

Got your attention? Okay. Now that I’ve gotten the theatrics out of the way, I really am going to tell you the “secret”. This applies to most, BUT NOT ALL , cases of people who are trying to lose weight, deal with medical issues, overall health, living longer, etc. Pretty much anything health related. WHAT YOU’RE EATING HAS A GREATER EFFECT ON YOUR OVERALL HEALTH THAN ANYTHING ELSE YOU DO . I managed to get myself into a debate on social media, which was unintentional and not meant to be disrespectful. But RESPECTFULLY, I completely disagreed with their stance that food and weight loss do not have an impact on health conditions. Health risks related to diet . Nutritional Deficiencies . Is exercise important? Yes, it is. But you can be very active, eat terribly, and deal with all kinds of health issues. Or be active, but still overweight because of eating too much sugar, fat, salt, or too many calories overall, and have NO health issues (high blood pres...

ME AND MY BIG MOUTH....ROUND 2

Okay. So, last week I posted about getting into a social media debate regarding nutrition, weight loss, health, and a few other things that weren’t really relevant. The point of my post (before this debate happened) was that what you’re eating can have a direct effect on your health. I still stand by this statement. I was also told that because I have a link to a guide that says “ Natural GLP-1 Boosters ”, I “obviously” am not interested in science. When I explained it’s a list of healthy foods (general and specific) and recipes to go along with, I was then told “Food Isn’t Medicine”. I beg to differ. While I agree that food is not MEDICATION , I do not agree that food cannot be “a compound or preparation used for the treatment or prevention of disease”, as MEDICINE is defined in the dictionary. BUT…. In the interest of playing devil’s advocate, I’m going to throw this out there…. Who cares? So what if “food isn’t medicine”? Does that mean it’s going to HURT y...

DO YOU KNOW “WHY”?

Why do you want to start a health journey? Why are you on a health journey? Why is your health important to you? As a busy mom, these three questions are important to ask yourself if you’re working on your health or thinking about working on it. Because, honestly, we've already got enough going on in our lives. You might find out you’re not even trying to be healthier/eat better/move more/lose weight for the reasons you THOUGHT you were. Maybe you’re thinking about losing weight because someone made a comment that hurt your feelings. Or you went to put on a dress you haven’t worn in a while, and it doesn’t fit anymore. Maybe you don’t have energy like you used to and you’re tired of feeling tired all the time. Maybe you’re noticing that you overall don’t feel good after eating candy or cookies when it didn’t used to bother you before. Or maybe a relative is in poor health much younger than they should be and it’s got you thinking about how you want to be capable and act...
