Leftovers, but make it salad🥗

Start with a bed of greens, add your leftover protein (chicken), some complex carbs (sweet potato) and healthy fats (sunflower seeds). Top it off with a dressing, or some dollops of hummus. Easy mid day fuel!

Meet Emily, our Registered Dietitian/Functional Med Nutritionist!

Emily has had a fascination with nutrition and self care from a young age. Between conventional dietetics training and her own journey with health and hormones, she was left with a feeling of helplessness as a practitioner and hopelessness as a patient. Asking questions—digging deeper, and learning there was another way allowed her to find healing for herself, and then, many others.

“If I could do one thing, it would be to give people hope. Hope that there is a path to healing. From there, anything is possible.”

Meet Dr. Arron, Quality Of Life’s Doctor of Physical Therapy!

Dr. Arron has plenty of experience with his own past injuries as a former D1 football player. Chronic pain led him through the system of conventional pain management and surgeries. It wasn’t until he found intentional physical rehab and integrative therapies (cue, Emily’s nutrition expertise) that he found his optimal Quality Of Life.

A vivid memory of his was watching his whole family play flag football one thanksgiving morning from the sidelines due to groin pain he had from another surgery…

“Traditional Physical Therapy all too often falls short. I’m here to help active adults not just get out of pain but get back to doing the activities they love that bring them their ultimate quality of life.”

“I don’t want you sitting on the sidelines any longer!” -Dr. Arron, PT

If you’re dealing with any lingering injuries stop waiting and reach out.

a do you gravitate toward carbohydrate breakfasts such as oatmeal, but know it’s important to get protein in the morning??

✨it is generally a great practice to aim for 30g of protein in the morning - which can be hard to do with carb heavy options!

Here are some ways to boost the nutrient density (+protein) in oats and set your day up with steady blood sugar, energy and focus:

✔️Protein. Oats alone won’t give you anywhere close to 30g of protein. Add a scoop of protein powder, collagen, Greek yogurt, egg/ egg whites, and/or simple have a side of scrambled eggs. You may have to combine a few options to meet that protein goal.

✔️Healthy fats. Oats contain minimal fats, another key part of balanced meals, so add some flax, chia, crushed walnuts, coconut or some almond butter- or a blend of a few.

✔️Non starchy veg. Yes, you read that right. Thaw out a 1/2 cup of frozen riced cauliflower, then add your oats and other ingredients. You won’t taste the cauliflower, and you’ll be getting a serving of cruciferous vegetables.

✔️Spices and extras. Ground cinnamon and ginger are great warming spices that compliment and flavor oats nicely. Maca and mushroom powders are also great add ins. Even top with some fresh or frozen berries for an extra shot of antioxidants and fiber.

✔️Quality oats. As popularity grew, so did the processing methods of oats. Try opting for groats (the whole oat grain), steel cut oats (cut up groats), or a sprouted rolled oat (I like Costo’s ‘One Degree Sprouted Rolled Oats’). I also always recommend getting oats organic, and certified gluten free if you have or suspect gluten sensitivity.

What’s in your oat bowl?🥣

YOU’RE INJURED! NOW WHAT?!

Generally you have 2️⃣ decisions after an injury.

Most commonly suggested is rest, ice, elevate, take meds etc

This is the left side of the graph and you see where that can lead…This might help in the short term but it won’t address anything long term. Predisposing you to re-injury.

Ice, rest, and medications can be useful early on if moving without them is NOT doable.

Otherwise you want to stick to the right side of the graph. Find a way to keep moving. Maybe it’s the same program with less volume, maybe it’s just doing some rehab exercises, maybe it’s exercising in the pool, or maybe it’s just daily walking until more strength training can be completed.

The name of the game is if possible and pain is manageable, try and find a way to keep moving. Your pain will decline and function will improve so much quicker than the alternative.

This is for GENERAL injuries, red flags MUST BE ruled out first. This itself shouldn’t replace seeing an appropriate medical provider if necessary.

Another fun half marathon weekend! Even tho one of us got lost on the course (😬), we are so grateful for what it really means to us. These races are an opportunity to challenge our limits, to stay consistently active, to work towards a goal, individually but together.

Our bodies are capable of so much! All it takes is showing up and taking one step in front of the other🙏🏼

The importance of an INTEGRATIVE HEALTH approach is 🔑

More important than the percentages of each is the importance of the integration of both in your health journey

This is the foundation QÔL Integrative Health is built upon 🏠

For those of you who know Dr. Arron’s story, know how honing in on nutritional principles changed his life around. It reduced his chronic pain and inflammation to the lowest it’s been since he was a kid

For those of you who have checked us out on Google Reviews ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ see how others found relief from dialing in their movement and rehab approach to go along with their already well structured nutrition plan and found results that way

It’s the BLEND of both that made all the difference.

8️⃣0️⃣ / 2️⃣0️⃣ ❓❓❓

Yes, we believe nutrition is FOUNDATIONAL because we are what we eat and our body moves and performs based off the fuel we put into it giving nutrition the edge but the take home message 📝 👇🏼

Incorporating a blend of both nutrition and movement is going to be key in reaching your health and fitness goals. It’s hard to get where you want if you just focus on one.

If you’re in search for the right plan, we’d be happy to chat more about it with you 🙂

Just shoot us a DM, talk soon!
