The Ambia Approach

I am writing to you today not as influencer or a businessman; but as a mother, as a woman, and as a proud patriot of these United States...or at least, we used to be united. Now I'm not quite sure where we stand. There is much talk around the reversal of Roe v.s Wade and as much as it breaks my heart and enrages me to the point of tears, it is not about what everyone is thinking it is about....

This is why it’s important to take care of your body. Wait for the lovely pop sound at the end.
A pulled hamstring from over working it without proper recovery techniques will lay you out and force rest if not dealt with. This could have been avoided if I warmed up properly and stretched more frequently.
Since this video: proper recovery techniques I’ve been using include cold water and heat variations, hyper volt, self massage, and rest. It’s been a little over three weeks and it’s almost fully healed with just this week beginning balancing work and PT on it.
Please, please take care of your bodies and it’s physical needs: sweat, food, sleep, stretch, and recovery. It’s important to keep your body strong and healthy. It’s the base that makes everything else in life a little easier.

*Will post more detailed descriptions about different recovery techniques soon for those in similar boats.

Over the next several weeks I will be walking through an overview of the 7 pillars of health I live by and teach to all my clients and friends.

The first couple weeks will be on physical health. This does NOT just include working out. Fitness is only one aspect of physical health to be aware of. What you eat, how many hours you sleep, stretching, recovering, and personal representation are all part of physical health.

Today’s reflection: how do I feel in my body? Are you achey, lethargic, tired, or are you clear minded, energized, and light on your feet? Why or why not?

Best. Plant based. Meal. Ever.
This is a simple, easy to make meal to eat post workout, for dinner, lunch, or any other time of the day really. I like it for summer especially because there’s no cooking involved.
Ingredients:
• Costco’s pre-made quinoa salad as the base.
• 1Tbsp. H**p hearts
• handful of crushed cashews
• handful of arugula
• 2 hard boiled eggs with salt and pepper.

You’re welcome.

Swinging into the weekend with a 100 kettlebell swing challenge! The less sets it takes you to reach 100 reps the better. I got it in 3, can you beat it?!
Kettle bell posture: abs in, hip hinge at the waist, heart open. Don’t forget to squeeze the cheeks at the top for max activation 😜 and most importantly... have fun!

“All the best things in life make you sweat”

You know it’s true 😏

Well, I didn’t reach my goal of 72 hours. BUT more importantly I listened to my body and it’s needs, so 61 hours is still a great fast with immense health benefits so I’m grateful for the chance to do this and sink a little deeper into myself during the process. Next time, I’ll shoot for 72 hours again, next time. Check out my stories to see what meal I ate to break my fast as that first meal is imperative for rejuvenation.

Happy Monday! After watching all these documentaries on the health of our planet due to the way we consume and excessively eat meat I’ve made the commitment to go plant based with the exception of eggs, some dairy, and occasionally bacon.

Before you scoff there is a doctor who wrote in an article about people who want to go plant based but are having a hard time getting rid of the products they are attached to.

Her response?

Great! Keep the little you can’t live without and take out the rest. Something is better than nothing.

I love this viewpoint! Now I know many are not ready to take the full step into eating healthier by going full plant based so let’s start small.

Can you dedicate one day a week to go meat free? How about, let’s say, meatless Monday?

By eating more plants and less meat you are allowing your body to catch up with digestion and flush yourself with the vitamins and nutrient dense antioxidants plants bring to the table.

What do you say? Who’s in?

Had a long weekend and still feeling it? Detox your system with a veggie overload. My full recipe is in stories and highlight but you can change whatever you need to to use what you have at home. This salad is more about cleaning your system with veggies than it is about a pretty looking salad at a party.

Pro tip: add some croutons or a little bit of cheese to your salad. Yes, it’s not the “healthiest” pieces to the salad BUT life is about balance. If you can find a balance for YOU between healthy food and junk (I.e. croutons and cheese) then you’re much more likely to keep eating healthy, and that’s what we want.
