Functional movement and yoga education, functional nutrition, and nature connection

Healthy living is a state of mind… it’s what you eat, how you approach food, what you do to create balance in your life, and what you do that ultimately “feeds” your body. Developing a mindful eating practice can provide a platform that truly supports and nurtures your yoga or wellness routine. To "Fuel Awesome" is about making choices to live in a health conscious manner. This means being intentional, proactive and taking a holistic approach to your health and view on life in general. What you do for your body, and the food you fuel it with, impact you on so many levels. It is Lindsey's mission to provide you with the knowledge and access to ingredients and movement tips that are delicious for mind, body, and soul.

Winter isn’t the season for drastic change.
It’s the season for showing up quietly.

So many of us already know what supports our health…
but action can still feel hard, especially this time of year.

In my latest Substack, I explore:
• why knowing isn’t the problem
• how the nervous system influences our ability to act
• and why winter is about laying groundwork, not forcing growth

If you’ve been feeling resistant, tired, or unsure why momentum feels slow, this one’s for you.

You can read the full post on Substack (link in bio).
And if it resonates, I’d love to hear your reflections there 🤍

What if, in 2026, you finally understood your body?

Instead of guessing, you had a roadmap. Instead of frustration, you felt empowered. Instead of fighting your hormones, you knew how to support them.

That’s the Aligned Health Academy. 🗺️

It’s our 8-week deep-dive course into the science of your midlife body.

This isn't a New Year's resolution. It’s a gift of knowledge and self-understanding that lasts a lifetime.

Our next session is enrolling soon. Link in bio to learn more. 💖

Wishing you a truly restful and happy holiday. 🎄✨

In a season that so often pulls us toward hustle and perfection, I hope today you can choose presence over presents, and connection over chaos.

May your day be filled with warmth, laughter, and the simple joy of just being with the people you love (or in peaceful solitude, if that’s what you need!).

Sending love to this amazing community. 💖

As we get close to the end of the year, the "New Year, New You" messages get LOUD. 🫠 Can we collectively agree to ignore them?

You don't need a complete overhaul. You've learned, you've grown, and you've survived. You don't need a "new you."

What if, instead of a long list of stressful resolutions, you simply chose one word or one feeling you'd like to guide you into the next year? A gentle intention.

Maybe it's "Strong." Or "Calm." Or "Nourished." Or "Connected."

I'm focusing on "Grounded" for the year ahead. 🌿

I'd love to know, what's one word or feeling you want to cultivate in 2026? 👇

This feedback from Jaime means everything, because it gets to the heart of what "functional strength" truly means. It’s not just about aesthetics or lifting heavier (though that’s great too!).

It’s about moving in a way that helps your body heal. It’s about alleviating chronic pain. It’s about feeling capable and strong in your daily life. 💪

This is exactly what we practice inside the Aligned Wellness Collective.

Thank you for sharing your journey, Jaime! 💖

Does anyone else feel like they’re carrying all the holiday stress right in their shoulders and neck? 🙋‍♀️ When our to-do list grows, our bodies tend to hunch and tighten as if bracing for impact.

You don't need an hour at the gym to find relief. A 60-second movement break can make a huge difference in shifting that tension.

Try this simple seated flow:
1️⃣ Seated Cat-Cow: Hands on knees. Inhale, arch your back, send your heart forward. 💖 Exhale, round your spine, drop your chin. (Repeat 3x)
2️⃣ Shoulder Rolls: Inhale, lift shoulders up to your ears. Exhale, roll them back and down. (Repeat 5x)
3️⃣ Gentle Twist: Inhale, sit tall. Exhale, gently twist to the right, using the chair. Hold for a breath. Repeat left.

It's a small, simple way to send your nervous system a signal of safety and calm. 🙏

My non-negotiable self-care act during the holidays is... A 10-minute walk by myself. 🚶‍♀️

Even when it’s busy, that small dose of fresh air and quiet helps me reset my nervous system and feel like me again.

What about you? 👇

What’s one simple, non-negotiable act of self-care you're holding onto this month?

12/11/2025

Let's ditch the "all-or-nothing" holiday mindset. 🙏

You know, the one that says, "Well, I ate the cookie, so I might as well eat the whole box and start over in January." 🤦‍♀️

That's diet culture talk. In reality, health isn't a switch you flip on or off.

How to find the middle ground:
Eat the cookie. Enjoy it!
Drink your water.
Move your body in a way that feels good.
Eat a colorful, protein-rich meal.

One "off-plan" choice doesn't ruin anything. Your next choice is what matters. Choose balance. Choose sanity.

One of the biggest frustrations I hear from women in midlife is that they feel like they are constantly fighting against their own bodies. It's exhausting, and it can feel defeating. 😥

But what if we reframed this? What if this season isn't a decline, but rather a powerful invitation to shift our approach?

Our changing hormones are signals, asking us to evolve how we build strength, how we nourish ourselves, and (especially this time of year!) how we rest.

I just shared a new post on the blog about this very topic, called "Midlife Power: Working With Your Body." We dive into how to listen to these cues and build functional strength that supports you for the long haul.
