Today, on Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the profound meaning of the word "veteran." It's a title earned by ANYONE who took the sacred oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

​For me, as a disabled combat veteran, this day holds a special significance. I carry the scars, injuries, and the memories of service (the good and the bad)—as do countless others who wore the uniform, whether their service was in a combat zone, on a forward operating base, or stateside.

​Service is service. It is the commitment, the sacrifice of time and self, and the willingness to answer the call that unites us all. Thank you to every man and woman who raised their right hand. Your service is honored, respected, and deeply appreciated.

Our commitment and priority at Tactical Health & Wellness is working with our Military, Veteran, and First Responder community in achieving their health & wellness goals. We do that using a full-body wellness approach through healing the mind, body, and spirit.

We encourage you to take a moment and take a deep breath. Let the sun shine on your face, and if you can, stand barefoot in the grass, grounding you and your spirit. Know that you are NOT alone. THWC as ALWAYS has your 6!

​Happy Veterans Day.

This used to be me, until I did a lot, and I mean a LOT of self-reflection, energetic healing, and rebuilding of myself. I am no longer angry and hurting, but still a work in progress, and probably will be for some time.

I would not have been able to drop as much weight as I have dropped if I had not done this work first. Your body will hold onto the weight if you are still holding onto the trauma and or negative emotions.

I told myself over and over again that I was READY to lose the weight, but didn't put in the INTERNAL work first to actually BE ready. And, I thought I could do it all myself. I did a LOT of research on how to heal me, but in the end I found the right people to help guide me through to the other side. Now, I use that research and what I learned to help other people.

We are not meant to go through this life alone. The phrase, "It takes a village" is not just about raising children. Finding the right resources to help you heal is ESSENTIAL to meeting those health and wellness goals - whether physical, mental, or even spiritual

Mobility is key to quality and longevity of life. When you stop moving, you love your flexibility and range of motion. We are in an era where people are 'running' on the Hampshire wheel of life, filling space and time with being 'busy' and forgetting to take time for themselves. For their body. For their mental health. And, for their peace.

If this is you, let me help you find that. You deserve a long and healthy life to enjoy life around you for as long as you are on this earth.

National Stress Awareness Day: Prioritize Peace! 🧘‍♀️

A gentle but firm reminder:

Feeling overwhelmed? That's stress signaling a need for an energy reset. Practices like setting firm boundaries, stepping away from your screen, or exploring Reiki energy regulation can help you shift from feeling scattered to feeling centered and grounded.
Recharge and recalibrate. Your well-being is worth the investment.

The first day of fall is almost here, and it's the perfect time to get back into a healthy routine. Ready for a fresh start? Let's make your health journey easier and more delicious!

Why Meal Prepping is Your Secret Weapon for Staying On Track:

💧 Hydration Station: Make your water exciting! Infuse it with fresh fruit like strawberries, cucumber, or citrus for a refreshing twist. Don't forget your electrolytes for active days! Keep a handy water bottle nearby and track your intake.

⚡️ Snack Smart: Beat the mid-afternoon slump before it starts! Prepackage power snacks like almonds, Greek yogurt, or homemade energy bars for a perfect, healthy energy boost.

Are you a busy professional who spends hours working at a computer or on your phone? I have a client who is an Architect and one of the topics we have discussed repeatedly is how to relieve and/or eliminate the pain and tension in their neck and shoulders from constantly working on a laptop.

Let's talk about something often overlooked: the impact of poor posture and ergonomics on your body's structural integrity.

​Spending prolonged periods in a hunched or misaligned position, or continuously looking down at a screen (computer, tablet, or phone) can strain your spine, leading to muscle weakness, joint pain, and even nerve compression. This isn't just about looking good—it's about preventing long-term damage and preserving your physical health.

​The good news? It's fixable! By implementing proper ergonomics, you can mitigate these risks. Simple adjustments like:

✅ ​Elevating your screen to eye level to avoid neck strain.
✅ ​Using a supportive chair that keeps your spine's natural curve.
​✅ Ensuring your feet are flat on the floor or a footrest.
✅ ​Taking regular breaks to stand and stretch.

​Investing in your ergonomics is an investment in your future health. Don't wait until the pain starts—proactively protect your body's foundation.

Have you ever considered Intermittent Fasting for weight loss? 🤔

​It’s a popular method, and for good reason! IF can be a game-changer by helping you:

​- Stay in a calorie deficit
- ​Improve your body’s response to insulin
- ​Boost your metabolism

​But here’s a question we don't always ask: Does age impact how you should fast? The answer is a resounding YES!

​As we get older, our hormone balance shifts, and our bodies can become more sensitive to stress. This means a one-size-fits-all approach to IF just doesn't work. What's a simple, effective schedule for a younger person might feel too intense or even counterproductive for someone in their 40s, 50s, or beyond.

​The most successful strategy is an individualized one. Talk to a health expert to create a plan that aligns with your age, lifestyle, and unique health needs.

The definition of insanity is to do the same things overall and over again, expecting a different result.

In order to get different results, you have to take DIFFERENT steps, perform DIFFERENT actions, and shift to a DIFFERENT mindset.

Your progress or lack there of us controlled by YOU and you alone!
