Exercise has many well-known benefits that have nothing to do with burning calories. It can help reduce depression, enhance muscle tone, strength, and flexibility, lower insulin levels, improve digestion so your body absorbs nutrients better, boost motivation, and simply make you feel good.

That’s why I always emphasize that exercise is more than just burning calories. Together, we will find ways for you to move your body that feel enjoyable, sustainable, and truly good - both physically and mentally.
