This week we are chatting about the hype around medical spas, glp1 medications, horomone testing and replacement, vitamin infusions, infusion clinics, etc.

What do all of these things have in common? We are being marketed to continuously about how we need to be incorporating these interventions into our health routines in order to be our healthiest selves. If we test our hormone levels, we'll discover the underlying reason why we're not losing weight. If we replace our GLP1 whether it be in its natural form or as a medication, we'll minimize the food noise in our brains. Vitamin and fluid infusions are definitely the ticket to ensuring your energy levels are through the roof and you are in the best health.

Any of these sound familiar?

These interventions might be something you could benefit from for a time or two but let's be real, these are expense tests, medications and interventions. A lot of these are not readily available depending on geographical location and financially they disqualify a number of people as they are typically not covered by insurance.

So why do people seek out these types of treatments? They are sold a quick fix, a fast solution or a story promising to complete the missing piece of their complicated health story. What is most overlooked are the simple basics of health...nutrition, hydration, motion, sleep, stress management.

If we are ignoring these areas and jumping right to interventions, how can we expect these to sustainable long-term and what benefit will we even see from them?

Stop seeking out the bright, shiny objects and put your blinders on! Stop cheating yourself and make a decision to make healthier habits second nature.

We'll meet you back at the basics...reach out for a complementary consultation today!

This week we are breaking down protein! What is it? Where can you find it? How much of it should you eat? What sources should you eat? And everything in between.

If you've heard that you should consume more protein but you're struggling with how to actually do that, this episode is for you! Even as seasoned health coaches we still find ourselves in a protein rut sometimes. We are sharing the best tips that have been researched, tried and passed along to us over the years.

We mention tracking your protein intake with an app. The free apps that work well for most people are MyFitnessPal and Cronomter. These both offer free options that work great for logging your protein intake. Tracking in an app is a great way to become more aware of the protein amounts in your daily meals and it makes you aware of just how much protein is in the common foods that you are eating. Maybe you'll find that something you feel is high in protein is actually higher in fat or carbs and there is a better alternative for you. Knowledge is power and having an awareness is a key starting point.

Are you running on fumes these days? You are not alone! What happened to the summer high that we were riding the past few months? It's suddenly gone and left are shorter days, longer nights and all of motivation went with it.

Does any of that sounds familiar? Can you relate? I know you might be tempted to continue to ride this slumber out until the New Year rolls around, but we're here to tell you exactly how to keep your head above water for these next few months.

Hitting the hibernation button and hiding away for the next 6 months isn't an option! You've got goals girl! Just because you haven't looked at your goals for the past few months, doesn't mean that they've disappeared ;). You just need to revisit them and start SMALL. The key to long-term habit building is to understand that habit change takes time and the sooner you start focusing on just one habit at a time, the more progress you'll see down the road. That goal to run a 5K, just start walking 1-2 days a week. Once you have that down, increase to 2-3 days a week then 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, you get the point! Then increase the amount of time or number of steps that you are walking. And most importantly...do not allow one bad day, bad week or bad month derail your success. You pick up where you left off and just keep showing up even if it's ugly and messy.

So take it from us, we're in the thick of it right now. No matter how many times you think you have your healthy habits down, they are going to slip away if you aren't actively pursuing them. Make sure your accountability partners are locked in and make some progress toward your goals BEFORE Thanksgiving, no waiting until the New Year!

Earlier this month we celebrated National Coach's Day! There are so many ways that you can use a coach to improve your life. Whether you have a life coach, financial coach, relationship coach, health coach, business coach, athletic coach, etc. You can hire a coach for practically any area of your life! And today we are sharing all of the reasons why you might be avoiding a coach but that might be the exact reason why you NEED a coach.

Most of us have had the thought, "I know what I need to do, I just need to do it." Maybe you need a plan to get started, or motivation or energy to tackle it, or maybe you really don't know what to do first...these are all ways that a coach can help you!

Regardless of your need, a coach is there to provide you with personalized, support, encouragement, structure and education to help you reach your goals.

When we partner with clients as health coaches, our focus in on whole-body health. We help you to establish the habits that will collectively create lifelong health and wellbeing for you. It's important to hire a coach that shares similar values and someone who is willing to push you outside of your comfort zone to help you reach your full potential.

Let us know what coaches you've worked with in the past!
