Do the next thing.
1 thing.
Not a long list.
Not a start over.
Not all the drama.

What are you doing this weekend to set yourself up?!! Let's steal from each other in the comments 👇🏼

Protein is the building material.
Strength training is the signal.

Protein without lifting is like... buying the building materials but never giving the contractor the blueprint.

And in the context of what most people are actually looking for:
✔️ metabolic support
✔️ body composition changes
✔️ feeling strong and capable

Eating enough protein by itself won’t get you there.

Your body needs a reason to adapt.
Lifting gives it one.

Protein supports the work.
Strength training tells your body what to do with it.

New Year’s Eve always makes us want a fresh start… and somehow a much more complicated plan.

Cold plunges. CGMs. Supplements with names we can’t pronounce.
 And sure, some of that stuff can be helpful… later.

But let’s be honest before the ball drops.
• If you’re sleeping 5 hours a night, red light therapy isn’t the move. • If you’re dehydrated, you don’t need another supplement. • If you’re not eating enough protein, carbs aren’t the villain. • If movement is inconsistent, you don’t need the “perfect” program.

Most people aren’t stuck because they’re missing some next-level biohack. They’re stuck because the boring basics didn’t make the resolution list.

This year, skip the fluff. Commit to the fundamentals. Master those first… then we can play with the fancy stuff.

Simple works. Always.

We say this lovingly: recalibrate.

Details matter. But not when they distract from the basics that actually move the needle.

Sleep affects your energy, hunger, recovery, mood, strength... literally all of it.

Your nervous system would like a bedtime. Respectfully.

Lettuce is doing its best. 😂

Before (or while) you manage the tiny stuff, move your effort toward the big rocks:
sleep, protein, movement, hydration, stress.

Get those mostly right and suddenly… the rest doesn’t feel so loud.

Aim your effort where it actually pays you back.

Holiday workouts don’t need perfection. They need pivots.

Comment READY if you want tools that work when the week gets weird. 👇

If you're looking for more of THIS, you're in the right place.

Showing up for your health without sidelining the parts of life that matter (holidays, we're looking at you) and without needing to “make up for it” later.

One of our clients summed it up perfectly this week:

“Shifted my mindset. Focused on as many healthy habits as I could without letting them interfere with joyful holiday moments.”

Here’s the mindset shift most people miss:

This isn’t a detour from the plan.
THIS IS THE PLAN.

During busy seasons, priorities don’t disappear... but our capacity shifts to other areas.

And right now?
Family time, social connection, and meaningful moments are priorities.

That means your capacity for fitness may look different. Still there, but adjusted for your season.

Fitness doesn’t need to be the loudest priority to be a consistent one.

This is how we coach.
You bring the effort. We’ll bring the plan.

The bad news? You can’t control everything. The good news? You don’t need to.

You can’t control your sleep being off. You can’t control stress showing up uninvited. You can’t control your motivation disappearing some days.

What you can control is the basics. How you eat most of the time. How you move your body when you can. How you respond instead of spiral.

Wellness isn’t about doing everything right. It’s about building habits that hold you up when life gets loud.

If you’re ready for a plan that works in real life, not just on perfect days, comment READY. Coaching enrollment is open.

Discomfort is part of training. But misery isn’t the goal, improvement is.

Solid training looks like:
▫️Improved movement quality
▫️Appropriate loading
▫️Steady progress over time

Not:
▫️Chasing soreness
▫️Dreading the next day
▫️“I can’t lift my arms” energy

Soreness can absolutely be a piece of the puzzle, especially with new movements or movements we haven't circled back to in a while.

It's our body saying, oh we have something new to adapt to.

But it’s feedback, not a finish line.
And yes… sleep, recovery, and nutrition get a seat at that table too.

Save this for the next time soreness feels like the only goal.
