What’s So Bad About Meat, Anyway?

The center of the standard American plate is consistently some type of meat, fish, or eggs. When confronted with the potential health benefits of a plant-based diet, many are understandably reluctant to sacrifice what they know to be the primary source of protein available – meat. For decades, there has been a perpetuated belief that meat is the only complete protein source, and without it we cannot achieve total health. In fact, the opposite is true.

How to Succeed at Any Goal You Set

Hello again Friends,

I want to switch gears today and talk about mindset. The greatest lesson I have learned over the years is that nothing is as important as teaching yourself discipline. On my Instagram stories Monday I shared something about how much I did not want to do my workout that day. I pointed out that I was going to do it anyway because I’ve learned that if I make excuses and allow myself to bail on my plan, I’m only going to allow myself to keep doing it again and again. I realize that in the past, this is why I have failed at any health or wellness routine that I’ve tried to establish.

There is loads of advice on nutrition, weight loss, and every kind of exercise. But there is one thing I’ve read little about over the years: the fickle nature of the human body, which makes every health experience as unique to us as our DNA.

Out of Your Head, Into Your Body

Happy New Year! It’s already the 5th of January (the 6th by the time you’re reading this), and I feel like this year is off to a quick start. I took some time before the end of the year to reflect on 2021 and set some intentions for 2022. If you read my last post, then you know 2021 was a rough year. I spent a lot of time stressed and struggling, up until the last couple of months. As much as I hated the struggle at the time, I’m grateful for it now because it did what struggle always does – gave me perspective and taught me some things to take forward.
