Having your partner's support on your health journey is game changer! When you're trying to make healthier lifestyle choices such as exercising regularly, cooking more at home, or prioritizing sleep. It’s helpful knowing your partner is on the same page and trying to do the same! You get to celebrate your achievements together, and pick one another up on the days where you lack the motivation. However, if only one…

With the holidays behind us, take a moment to reflect on the week. Did you indulge in food like you have in previous years, or take a week off your exercise routine? If the answer is yes, don’t beat yourself up about it! See it as an opportunity to start building consistent habits that will carry into the holidays. The holidays can be a challenging time when it comes to…

Have you ever made goals at the beginning of the year to start exercising and then find yourself at the end of the year frustrated or discouraged because you didn’t stick with it? You put in the hard work and you were feeling better for the first few months, and then life happened. Sound familiar?

Ever hear your grandparent say “I’m too old for that,” or “I can’t be doing that at my age.” Why does life have to slow down once you reach 70 or 80?  If you asked your grandparent what they would like to be doing 10 to 20 years from now what would they say?
