A common fitness mistake made is poor nourishment when exercising. The misconception is that the harder you work, and the less you eat, the more fit you will be, which is false. Exercising until complete exhaustion and unbearable soreness, and not fueling your body, is doing more damage than you think, physically and mentally. This is because our bodies need food to perform well physically. That’s why skipping breakfast before going to a 5am workout is also not doing you any favors. The body was fasting for the entire night and is out of easily accessible energy stores. So, if you exert a ..read more

In our nutrition blogs we’ve talked about how what we put in our bodies impacts our overall state of wellness. The 80:20 rule says in order to maintain good health you need to focus 80% on your nutrition, but you also need to factor in 20% for physical activity. So, let’s talk about exercise. Why is it that people say they hate exercise so much? Most of the time, it’s because they hate the exercise they are doing, and the way they are doing it. Someone at some point created the illusion that exercise is unenjoyable and intolerably exhausting. Let’s talk about movement. What were the things you ..read more

A Diet is a way of eating, or just what you eat. Dieting is associated with disordered eating and negative mental health regarding food and body.  Diet Culture is the culture we live in where we generate black and white thinking around food, and label foods as good and bad. Anti-Diet Culture is the idea to reject the weight-centric way of looking at health and self-worth. Being inclusive of all different types of bodies, and not demonize foods. Finding peace with food choices and working with your body to feel your best. Making choices on food and exercise because it feels good, and has i ..read more

As 2020 comes to a long-anticipated wrap, many of us are relieved and ready for a fresh start. I think we can all agree this has been a rough one, and we all deserve some TLC. Despite the harsh blow of 2020, the New Year, means New Year’s resolutions. It’s an unquestionably conventional notion that New Year’s resolutions center around health, weight, or the body. The practice of dieting to achieve weight loss has been interwoven into acceptable societal norms, along with applause and commentary based on your success. It will definitely not be a surprise to see our social media filled with New ..read more

A simple definition of Gut Health: Gut health is defined as achieving the gut bacterial balance with optimal nutrient digestion and absorption through a plant-focused diet rich in prebiotics and probiotics. These fiber-rich foods help the gut bacteria to produce a protective mucosal barrier in the lumen of the intestine, protecting the gut integrity and preventing entry of harmful toxins, viruses and bacteria. Why is gut health important? Our gut bacteria and us humans have a mutually beneficial relationship. Why? We cannot digest fiber, but the good bacteria in our gut can. How do the bacteri ..read more
