Are you eating enough protein? 🤔💪

Most people aren’t, especially if your goal is fat loss, muscle tone, or healthy aging.

If you think two eggs at breakfast covers your protein needs for the day… you may be falling way short.

👉 A simple rule we recommend:
Aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of your ideal body weight.

Why?
✔ Preserve lean muscle
✔ Support metabolism
✔ Stay fuller longer
✔ Prevent age-related muscle loss

Want to know how much you should be eating and how to calculate it?

We break it all down in this week’s blog + Q&A with Dr. Morin.

✨ Weekly Q&A with Dr. Morin – Simple, Sustainable Strategies That Work ✨

When it comes to weight loss, most people think the answer is something complicated… but the fundamentals are usually simple, and backed by research.

This week’s question:

Which of the following is NOT one of the top ways to reduce weight?

1️⃣ Decrease carbohydrates & increase protein
2️⃣ Increase fibre
3️⃣ Restrict the time you eat (avoid calories within 3 hrs of bed)
4️⃣ Eat until you’re satisfied, not full
5️⃣ Eat more fruit

🤔 Do you know the answer?

The truth is, sustainable weight loss comes down to consistent habits, protein intake, fibre, portion awareness, and meal timing all matter more than most people realize.

👉 Head to the link in our bio to read this week’s full blog where I break it down and share practical tips you can start using right away.

Small changes. Done consistently. Big results.

Weekly Q&A with Dr. Morin ✨When do the health benefits of a better diet actually begin?✨

Most people think it’s after 10 lbs lost…
Or once they hit their goal weight…

But the real answer might surprise you 👀

✅ Immediately. The day you change your habits.

Every single time you improve your diet, your body responds by becoming:
✔️ Less inflamed
✔️ More supportive of fat loss
✔️ Less cancer-friendly
✔️ Better regulated hormonally

You don’t have to wait for the scale to move to be getting healthier.

Pair your improved nutrition with simple movement, grab a skip rope or go for a brisk walk, and you amplify the benefits even more. 🏃‍♂️

The scale will catch up.
Your health starts improving today.

🚫 The White Carb Trap 🚫

White flour. White rice. Sugar.

They look harmless, but they’re some of the biggest fat-loss blockers out there.

These refined carbs spike blood sugar ➡️ spike insulin ➡️ signal your body to store fat, not burn it.

✅ The upgrade?

Whole grains + fiber + protein + healthy fats =
• steadier blood sugar
• fewer cravings
• better digestion
• easier fat loss

🥔 And yes, we’re talking about potatoes too. Preparation and portions matter more than you think.

For February Fat Loss Month, this is one of the simplest changes you can make that delivers real results without extreme dieting.

👉 Read the full blog to learn:
• why white carbs stall fat loss
• how whole grains work with your metabolism
• what to eat instead (and how to pair foods correctly)

✨Weekly Q&A with Dr. Morin ✨

This week we focus on building habits that support long-term health — not quick fixes.

When it comes to starting a good habit, many people think it requires more motivation or a major lifestyle overhaul. But motivation is inconsistent. Real change happens when habits are easy, enjoyable, and designed to fit into your life.

What is the best way to start a good habit?

A) Make it obvious (keep healthy choices in easy reach)
B) Make it attractive (choose environments and tools you enjoy)
C) Start with easy, enjoyable changes
D) All of the above ✅

The truth is, good habits stick when they’re simple and rewarding. When a habit is visible, appealing, and easy to begin, it becomes part of your routine — not another task to force.

This week, instead of asking:
“How do I stay motivated?”

Try asking:
👉 How can I make this habit easier and more enjoyable?

Because lasting health isn’t about willpower — it’s about creating habits and systems that support you every day.

✨ Weekly Q&A with Dr. Morin ✨

It’s January and we’re back with our Weekly Q&A, focusing on building health that actually lasts.

When it comes to breaking bad habits, many people believe the answer is more motivation or stronger willpower. But motivation fades — especially when life gets busy, stressful, or overwhelming. Real change comes from changing the environment around the habit, not fighting it head-on.

This week’s question:
What is the best way to break a bad habit?

A) Make it invisible (don’t buy it)
B) Make it unattractive (change how you think about it)
C) Make it difficult (avoid tempting situations)
D) All of the above ✅

The truth is, habits stick when they’re easy and automatic. When you remove visual cues, add friction, and shift your mindset, unhealthy habits naturally lose their grip.

This week, instead of asking:
“Why can’t I stop this habit?”

Try asking:
👉 How can I make this habit harder to repeat?

Because lasting health isn’t about discipline — it’s about building systems and habits that support you every day.

01/07/2026

It’s January and we are back to our Weekly Q&A with Dr. Morin.

As we look at getting healthy for the long term we need to start with…

A) A revolutionary life event
B) A goal weight or peak fitness level
C) Developing healthy habits

Big transformations and lofty goals can be motivating, but they don’t last on their own. Long-term health is built through small, repeatable actions you can sustain through every season of life.

Healthy habits become automatic. They don’t rely on motivation, perfect timing, or willpower. They quietly support your body day after day, just like brushing your teeth or putting on your seatbelt.

This week, instead of asking “What’s my next health goal?” try asking:
“What is one habit a healthy person would do today?”

Because real, lasting health isn’t about a single moment, it’s about what you practice consistently.

There’s no finish line when it comes to health.
No magic number. No moment where you can say, “I’ve arrived.”

For years, my health was defined by big goals, marathons, Ironman races, pushing limits. Those goals built strong habits, but they also came with an identity that didn’t fit forever. Life changed. Priorities shifted. And I realized something important:

Long-term health isn’t about goals. It’s about habits.

Goals end.
Habits continue 💥

Healthy habits become automatic, like putting on your seatbelt. You don’t debate it. You just do it. And identity matters too. There’s a big difference between “I’m trying to be healthy” and “I am a healthy person.”

A question worth asking: “What would a healthy person choose to do right now?”

At Summerside Chiropractic & Wellness, we focus on helping patients build habits that support them through every season of life—not quick fixes or short-term transformations.

📖 In this week’s blog, I share:
• Why goals often fail us long-term
• How identity shapes your health choices
• Why habits matter more than motivation
• And why Atomic Habits is one of our favourite resources

Because real health isn’t about hitting a goal.
It’s about creating a life that supports you.
