Healthy Drink Swaps ⬇️

Trying to cut back on your sugar intake? Beverages are one of the most common culprits for excess added sugars! We all love a fun beverage—but try to choose one that supports healthy blood sugar control, and maybe even has some health benefits!

We recommend choosing something with less than 5g of added sugars, and without sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners like Sucralose or Acesulfame potassium. Stevia and monk fruit are okay in moderation!

🌙 Wind down the healthy way to optimize your circadian rhythm!

Your nighttime routine plays a big role in how well you sleep—and how you feel the next day. Try these simple science-backed habits to support deeper rest:

1️⃣ Minimize screen time– Blue light from phones and TVs can suppress melatonin, the hormone that helps you fall asleep. Try to stop using phones or electronics 30-90 minutes before bed.

2️⃣ Take a warm shower or bath—As your body cools afterward, it signals that it’s time to rest. Your body temperature naturally drops as you drift off to sleep. 😴

3️⃣ Dim or avoid bright lights– Softer lighting helps your body naturally shift into “sleep mode.” Think warm hues or red lights, and lamps with dimmer switches. This helps to keep melatonin production up to help you fall asleep!

A calm, consistent routine helps regulate your circadian rhythm, improve sleep quality, and boost recovery overnight.

Ferment your way to better gut health! ✨

Fermenting vegetables is one of the oldest (and healthiest!) ways to preserve food—plus, it’s simple to do at home. All you need are veggies, water, and salt. 🌿

Here’s how:
1️⃣ Chop your favorite vegetables (like cabbage, carrots, or radishes).
2️⃣ Submerge them in a saltwater brine.
3️⃣ Let them ferment at room temperature for several days to weeks.

Fermented foods are packed with probiotics—the good bacteria that support digestion, strengthen your immune system, and improve nutrient absorption. They’re also rich in vitamins, enzymes, and beneficial acids that promote overall gut balance.

Try to incorporate fermented foods into your diet to help introduce good bacteria into your gut microbiome!

Start your day the healthy way! ☀️

A strong morning routine sets the tone for your whole day. Try these simple habits:
1️⃣ Mindful meditation or gentle stretching– Rather than immediately checking notifications on your phone and jumping into stress mode, wake up your body and calm your mind.

2️⃣ Hydrate– Give your body the water it’s been missing overnight💧

3️⃣ Soak up morning sunlight– Viewing morning sunlight sets your circadian rhythm so you can fall asleep later that night, and helps you wake up!🌞

4️⃣ High-protein breakfast– A breakfast with protein helps keep you satiated until lunch time, and keeps your blood sugar stable!

Small, intentional steps every morning can create big health benefits over time. Make your mornings work for you!

Cortisol is our body’s stress hormone, released in response to stressors to help us fight back and survive. However, in today’s day and age, cortisol can become elevated chronically due to stressful lifestyles, lack of exercise, and suboptimal health.

Here are some ways to help manage stress and keep your cortisol in check:

1. Make sleep a priority. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night. This makes sure that your circadian rhythm is optimized, and you are best able to handle the stress of daily life. 😴

2. Hydration— aim for 2 liters per day for women, and about 3 liters per day for men. Proper hydration helps reduce cortisol spikes in response to stress. 💧

3. Spend time outside 🌳 ☀️ Studies show that viewing sunlight and nature scenes (think trees or water) both reduce blood pressure and cortisol!

What does measuring your heart rate really tell you?

-the level of effort and intensity you are reaching with a given activity: tracking your heart rate over time while practicing the same activity can help you track improvements in cardiovascular health (ex. Noticing that your heart rate in an intense pickleball match averages lower after a few weeks of practice).

-what kind of fuel your body is using: we use different nutrients for fuel depending on exercise intensity. However, doing an entire hour of cardio in the “fat burning” zones (1-2), does not mean that you will lose body fat.

At the end of the day, fat loss is determined by being in a calorie deficit (eating less calories than you burn), and more intense exercises in higher zones DO burn more energy.

Aim for 150 minutes per week of lower intensity exercise (zones 1-2), or 60 minutes or more dipping into higher heart rate zones! Ideally we incorporate a mix of higher intensity cardio to strengthen the heart 1-3x/week, and lower intensity cardio like walking daily!

Why Brussels Sprouts Deserve a Spot on Your Plate:

-Vitamin C – Supports immune health and collagen production for glowing skin.

-Fiber – Promotes gut health, satiety, and steady blood sugar levels.

-Vitamin K – Essential for bone health and proper blood clotting.

-Antioxidants – Help combat inflammation and oxidative stress.

-Glucosinolates – Natural plant compounds found in cruciferous vegetables that support cellular health and may help protect against cancer and promote heart health.

Whether roasted, shaved into a salad, or sautéed, Brussels sprouts are one of the most nutrient-dense veggies you can eat. 🥗

Before chasing complex workouts or fancy machines, nail these four foundational moves — they’re the blueprint for strength, balance, and everyday performance:

⭐️ Squat – Builds lower body strength and stability.
⭐️ Hinge – Trains your glutes and hamstrings for powerful movement.
⭐️ Push – Strengthens your chest, shoulders, and core.
⭐️ Pull – Improves posture and upper-back strength.

These patterns reflect how your body is meant to move — master them and everything else in fitness (and life) gets easier. 💪

Did you know? Pomegranate extract is know for increasing levels of a gut microbe that helps our natural production of GLP-1 hormones, which help with hunger and fullness!

This randomized controlled trial serves as human evidence that pomegranate extract may improve satisfaction with meals.

Pomegranate has a great variety of benefits as it is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols which reduce inflammation. We recommend incorporating pomegranate seeds into your routine for a healthy, antioxidant rich diet!

Fall is upon us, and that means looking for cozy dessert recipes that also support your wellness goals! Here are some of our favorite dessert recipes. Save for later and try some this weekend! 🍂

Some ideas for making desserts a little more health-conscious:
-Boost the fiber content (think adding pumpkin, avocado, oats, ground flax)
-Boost the protein content (ex. Top baked apples or fruits with a dollop of Greek yogurt, add an extra egg to pancakes, or use an ultra-filtered milk)
-Reduce the sugar content —oftentimes recipes still taste great with less sugar! You can also use other things like applesauce or pumpkin to add some subtle sweetness.
