Thoughts & Musings
This year has been a year of unprecedented times. Probably none of us could have predicted how 2020 has turned out, but this isn't to say that it is all bad. I have been seeing a few things going around social media about the positives of 2020 and while at first I rolled my eyes at it, I agree that it is beneficial for us to see the silver lining in the events of this year. As we approach…
As Election Season looms upon us probably everyone is in some sort of state of anxiety. Whatever your party affiliation, you are feeling like a lot is at stake this election. How we will approach the broken economy, the coming vaccine, the possible second wave in winter all lies in the balance of which party is elected. It truly feels like we could be at a historic tipping point…
Your heart and your heart health are perhaps one of the most important and often overlooked aspects of our health and wellness. The heart is always working, if it falters just slightly it can cause serious issues for you which means heart health is of utmost importance for your well being. While I feel we often talk about heart health in a passive way, we are not…
Though we often live a mostly sedentary lifestyle in the modern world, humans were not meant to be this way.

2020 has certainly been a crazy year, and there are still 3 months left! Is this the beginning of a major shift in life and economies or is it just a temporary derailment?

The seasons are changing, it is getting dark earlier, it always feels like to me the beginning of the exciting holiday season as cultures all over the world start celebrating their light festivals and new year's festivities. But, the beginning of this period can also be triggering for some people as the absence of light and the beginning…
As we approach Halloween it can feel like a bit of a let down, especially if you have young children. This year Halloween is not only on a Saturday night, which if you're lucky only happens once or twice in your childhood, but also a Full Moon and the day of Daylight Savings Times. All of these factors seemed to predict an amazingly epic Halloween back…
As we mentioned in our eating for a better workout guide previously (link Eating to a Better workout - Lose Weight), we will be doing two different post and pre workout plans depending on your fitness goals. The most common goals I see are to lose weight and gain muscle. Now, these don’t have to be mutually exclusive, you can do both at the same time but…
When it comes to working out, a lot of us might not always think about the eating aspect but as the old saying goes, “abs are made in the kitchen”. Without proper nutrition our bodies will not be able to repair itself properly after a workout. What this means is that no matter how hard you work out and how heavy you lift, your results will be less than shocking…
