Tried ‘it all’ to help people you care about ‘change’ (lose weight, adopt healthier eating habits, start exercising, life choices, align with your values, etc.) ‘cause you love them immensely and their health and life matters to you and your family?

Remember those 3 catalysts for why people change:
1. Trauma
2. Profound insights
3. On their terms, whenever they’re ready.

‘Ultimately, you will end up wherever is acceptable to you.” Naval Ravikant.

Meanwhile, be the change you want to inspire in others.

Strength training in older adults helps prevent osteoarthritis. How?
It builds supportive muscles that stabilize joints, improves joint lubrication and nutrition via synovial fluid, reduces stress and load on cartilage, decreases inflammation, and helps with weight management, all leading to better joint mechanics and less pain and degeneration.

Resistance training strengthens the supporting structure, shifting load from bones to muscles, preventing initial injuries, and improving the overall health of the joint.

This is particularly important for older women who have bone protective estrogen deficiency and are therefore more prone to a rapid bone breakdown.
So no matter your age, please strength train, for your health, longevity and ability to stay independent in the last decades of your life.
To your health!

VITAMIN D3 deficiency in Winter cold and dark ages 🫣.
About 1 billion people worldwide are vitamin D deficient, and 50% or more have insufficiency. Looking at my clients’ labs I am truly startled. 95% of them have very low levels of VD3.
Winter season further exasperates it and is linked to increased risks of bone disease (rickets, osteomalacia), immune issues, depression, diabetes, and other conditions.
Please make sure your vitamin D3 (D3K2 preferably) are at the optimal level, especially in Winter. (To be taken with fats e.g. avocado, MCT oil, for absorption).

At the time when most sulk into hibernation, no activity and comfort food indulgence, use this Winter to get in the best shape instead! You’re not polar bears peeps! 🤣

'Women are not small men' - Dr. Stacy Sims (physiologist, nutrition scientist, author and women's health and fitness advocate). So why the heck do women still train as if they were small men?' Crazy! Not to mention the female hormonal, fiber and metabolic composition is vastly different than men?

Unless you desire to look like a chimp momma following your boyfriend's own training routine focused on broadening the back, traps and shoulders, growing big biceps and quads that won't fit into your favorite jeans.....why???
Isn't the feminine, tight and beautifully sculpted body you aim for?
Yes, I am very bias on the topic as I am of the 'keep feminine feminine' stance.
Yet, I see a lot of females unconsciously follow their boyfriends/husbands' weight training just to end up in despair as they no longer fit in their fav cutesy outfits they bust out of.

BTW, I have a huge respect for bodybuilders and their immense dedication to weight training and muscle gains (minus roids, I always preferred it all natural as a competitor'), but for crying out loud, why would you as a woman, want to train like a dude?

Why the HAIR LOSS while on Ozempic, Wegovy, Trulicity, Mounjaro, Rybelsus or other GLP-1 weight loss drugs?
NUTRIENTS DEFICIENCY.

Rapid weight loss, decrease in appetite (aka starvation diet) often result in not getting enough protein, iron, zinc, or other essential vitamins and minerals needed for healthy hair growth. It also impacts your hormones which are largely responsible for the healthy hair follicles, among pretty much all other body/mind processes.
No nutrients = hair shedding. Mood swings, fatique, irritability, energy loss, disrupted memory, sleep disturbance, muscle loss, among others are also very common. Big, big issue for both men and women and an overall health.

While on any of the GLP-1’s, PLEASE ensure your diet is rich in proteins, essential amino acids, essential fatty acids and phytonutrients.
To Your Health!

Don’t let this be you!

On average, peeps gain approximately 5-8 lbs during Fall/Winter season they cannot shed later.
My 15 yr experience working with clients tells me it’s more like 10-15lbs between Thanksgiving thru March. No bueno.

Don’t let the colder temps, shorter, darker days get you into inertia state. Commitment vs ‘feelings’ peeps!
Use this time to defy the statistics and get in the best shape this season. What else you’ve got to do when the outdoor bars are closed, hmm?
Join us for either in person or remote high energy classes or PTs. Focus on you, your health, your body. Quit the ‘I don’t feel like it’ feelings and stick to your commitments instead.
Youre not your ‘feelings.’ You’re your commitments! So…what are you committed to?

'I'm sore after strength training so I'm done with it' - biggest mistake those who don't understand the process of body/muscle strengthening process make and why many quit prematurely.

Muscle soreness is caused by microscopic tears in muscle fibers from NEW or strenuous exercise, leading to an inflammatory healing response. It's a good thing because this healing process makes the muscles stronger and healthier than before. This type of soreness, known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), is a normal sign of muscle adaptation and growth, NOT AN INDICATION OF INJURY.

WHAT CAUSES MUSCLE SORENESS?
- Microscopic tears: When you challenge your muscles through exercise, you create tiny tears in the muscle fibers.
Inflammatory response: The body's natural response to these micro-tears is inflammation, which repairs the damage and causes the feeling of soreness.
- Novel stimuli: This often occurs when you perform a new exercise, increase the intensity or duration of your routine, or work muscles in a new way.

WHY IT'S A GOOD THING?
Muscle growth: The repair process rebuilds the muscle fibers, making them stronger and larger than they were before.
Increased strength: As your muscles heal and adapt, they become more resilient and capable of handling future stress.
Sign of progress: Soreness is a normal byproduct of your body adapting to your fitness routine, indicating your muscles are getting stronger.

DOMS is normal: Delayed onset muscle soreness typically appears 12 to 48 hours after a workout, and it's a sign that your muscles are adapting, not that you are injured.
It's different from injury: If you experience sharp pain, swelling, heat, redness, or bruising, it could be a sign of an actual injury, and you should seek medical advice.
Acute soreness: Soreness that happens during exercise is usually due to muscle fatigue and a buildup of lactic acid, which clears up relatively quickly.
