How often do you stop and reflect on the privilege of being able to go to the gym and work out? Many take their physical abilities for granted, not realizing that just the act of moving and taking care of their body is a blessing. Whether it’s hitting the weights, going for a run, or performing stretches, each moment in the gym is a gift you give yourself for the future.

The body we build today is the one that will carry us through the years ahead. With consistent effort, we can increase our strength, endurance, and flexibility, ensuring that we age gracefully and with vitality. Fitness isn’t just about looking good—it’s about longevity, health, and the ability to enjoy life to its fullest.

Taking the time to invest in your body now is one of the most powerful choices you can make. By treating yourself with care and respect, you are ensuring a future where your body can support you every step of the way. Health and strength are privileges that many wish for, so let’s cherish every moment in the gym and give our best effort. 🏋️‍♂️✨

Go over some basic instructions om the Zen approach to sitting meditation (zazen);
Have several opportunities to meditate together;
Have time for sharing and questions.

I just finished my 36 hour fast and I feel really good, both in mind & body. Do you believe in the power of fasting?

Your low-fat diet could be doing more harm than good.

When you eat foods high in saturated fats, they trigger the gallbladder to contract, releasing bile into the small intestine to aid digestion.

In contrast, low-fat diets reduce the frequency of gallbladder contractions, allowing bile to become stagnant and overly concentrated.

Support digestion by incorporating healthy saturated fats found in grass-fed meats, organic dairy, and olive, coconut, and avocado oil into your diet.

Welcome Jaclynn to our wellness center! We are excited for her to share her wisdom and knowledge.

Launching on Saturday, October 18th 🎉

I will be presenting a six week course is designed to go through the six pillars of health as defined by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. These six pillars form the groundwork for health and wellness. Each week will present a new pillar. There will be discussion surrounding the pillar, goal setting, identification of barriers and ways to overcome barriers, as well as coaching support in a group setting. Individual coaching is also included as needed between the weekly sessions. Each session will end with a 30 minute walk (for those who can stay) around Waynesville to live the pillars of connection and movement. Send me a message or email if you are interested!

Lack of sunlight in modern life is causing widespread vitamin D deficiency. The cost? Higher rates of autoimmune disease, frequent illness, and increased cancer risk.
