MAKE A WELL BALANCED MEAL!? - Most people I work with know I don't like rigid meal plans. - They may work in the short term but unless you plan on following it for the rest of your life, once you hit your goal the meal plan gets thrown in the trash. ... - Putting together your own meals doesn't have to take all day, it's all in the ratio and selection of the foods! - Here are the key points: - Each meal should be made of at least 80% whole , unprocessed foods. Good health comes from good quality food! - Each meal should have a balance of protein, carbs, and fats, in amounts that YOU can digest easily and meets the needs of your body based on how you feel and activity level throughout the day. - High activity/ stress day will mean your body will need more protein, good quality saturated, monounsaturated, and omega-3 fats, and complex carbs. - Low activity/ stress day will mean you need less protein (keep intake high if trying to build muscle) and less simple & complex carbs. - Experiment with how different ratios make you feel by altering how much of each food takes up your plate! - We all have favorite foods but make sure to mix in a variety of vegetables & protein sources for more nutrients and benefits. Avoid eating one food everyday, rotate your foods to prevent possible immune reactions. - There's always more I could say, if you have ANY QUESTIONS or want me to expand on this COMMENT BELOW! If you need HELP with this or any other HEALTH related issue PLEASE REACH OUT! I'd love to help you! - - - #motivnutrition #nutrition #nutritionmatters #nutrients #healthcoachtips #healthcoaching #holistic #holistichealthcoach #holisticnutrition #holisticwellness #balance #meals #mealprep #weightloss #keto #paleo #weightlosstips #fitness #strength #strengthtraining #vegan #education #healthybodyhealthymind #fitness #goals #goal #fitnessmeals #mealpreptips #macros #letsgo

Do you know where your last meal came from? - I always love picking fresh veggies from a garden, it's one of my favorite times of the year! - Anytime I can get my food directly from the source I jump at the chance. ... - The impact it has on your health and the environment is incomparable when you consider the fact that most of the food we purchase has to be flown in! - We have such an abundance of land, farmers, favorable conditions, and the environment to grow everything we need but STILL we end up buying food from across the country and even from places like Mexico and South America! - Not only do these foods have to be prematurely picked, coated in harmful chemicals to prevent decay, and genetically modified just to be able to make it to the store, but all these things make the food virtually void of REAL NUTRITION and nothing but a colourful piece of water/ fiber. - If you want more food grown locally you have to BUY IT! Sounds obvious but most people don't go out of their way to support local and organic farmers who provide REAL NUTRITION to us without all the destructive effects on the environment! - You VOTE EVERY SINGLE DAY with what you spend your money on. - Don't want foreign food? Don't buy it! - Grow your own garden, find a friend with one who is able to share, go to a farmer's market, and SUPPORT people locally who are making your home a better place! - Double up the benefits by gardening barefoot to develop a deeper connection with your food and the land! - Have a great week! - - - #motivnutrition #nutrition #nutritionmatters #realnutrition #nutritioncoach #nutrients #nutrientdense #organic #organicfood #organicgardening #organicfarming #organicfarm #buylocal #supportlocal #local #localbusiness #localfarmers #organicfarmer #love #lovethem #lovetheearth #environmentallyfriendly #holistic #holisticwellness #holisticnutrition #holisticliving #holistichealth #healthcoachtips #healthcoach #healthcoachlife See more

HOW MUCH SHOULD I EAT? - MAN OH MAN! - This subject can be so complicated! Like most things when it comes to nutrition and health! ... - The answer to this question needs the answer to other questions for an accurate answer, it will be different for everyone! - The key points that should always be aimed for are... - Make sure at least 80% of your diet is whole foods, organic if possible. - Take into account the amount of physical, mental, and emotional energy you use each day. This will dictate what ratio of macros your body needs! - Experiment with different methods and see which ones promotes the most health, energy, & clarity you desire! - AVOID OVEREATING! Have seconds of you feel you need it but once the cascade of hormones and blood sugar from overeating has started it's too late! This is a huge problem for our society! AVOID foods that cause you to overeat (most always processed foods). - BE PRESENT while you eat! Avoid distracting or stressful environments while eating and TAKE YOUR TIME to chew your food and feel the hunger signals. These are what will tell you when you've had enough but you have to LISTEN! - These are the big, broad guidelines I would recommend, but it always takes INDIVIDUAL EXPERIMENTING to really identify what works best for you! - If you need HELP with this or any other HEALTH related issue PLEASE REACH OUT! I'd be stoked to help you achieve the vitality you deserve! - - - #motivnutrition #nutrition #nutritionmatters #nutrients #healthcoachtips #healthcoaching #holistic #holistichealthcoach #holisticnutrition #holisticwellness #overeating #portions #mealprep #weightloss #keto #paleo #weightlosstips #fitness #strength #strengthtraining #vegan #education #healthybodyhealthymind #weightlossjourney #dothework #results #coach #loveyourself #selfcaretips #primal See more

Who needs to sleep better? - Skip to the last one for quick tips! - Sleep is by far one of the most powerful tools in your journey to life long health and well-being. ... - Nothing can replace it. - Not getting enough, or having a disrupted sleep pattern alters the way you perceive the world around you. - It can determine whether you go through the day with a clear, calm, energetic mind and body or you feel the need to reach for stimulants or sugary processed food for the quick burst of energy. - It can be hard to avoid the temptation of reaching for Netflix or YouTube at night, I've done it many times. - The key is trying to get to bed early and focus the evening routine around that. - Do NOT underestimate the power of having a deep, restorative sleep routine. Have you ever woke up in an amazing mood with energy and excitement for the day? - DM me any QUESTIONS you have about OPTIMIZING your SLEEP HEALTH! - - - #motivnutrition #sleep #sleephygiene #sleepy #sleepaid #sleeping #sleephealth #nutrition #healthcoachtips #healthtip #healthtips #healthcoaching #healthyliving #holistic #holisticwellness #holistichealth #holistichealthcoach #holisticnutrition #sleeptips #healthybodyhealthymind #mentalhealth #mentalwellbeing #wellbeing #priorities #prioritizeyourself #longevity #helpingothers #loveyourself #love #fitness See more

MOBILITY+STRENGTH= LONGEVITY - Though I haven't posted about it in a while, exercise is always a constant in my life. - Back squats have never been my strong point so working on building them up is very humbling. Adding in the full depth and slight pause adds another level. ... - My new focus and enthusiasm for strength training has been an amazing and fun experience to learn and practice but martial arts will always be my foundation. - Mobility, to me, means the ability to move through full ranges of motion with strength, stability, and grace. - There is nowhere mobility is more important than martial arts. Boxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, they all require you to move through full ranges of motion, at challenging angles all in dynamic movement that lasts minutes at a time. I've always focused and prioritized my mobility training because of this. - Yoga has been my main way of working on this (S/O to @yogaforbjj ) but incorporating methods from strength training books and methods have been a huge help for me as well. - The bottom line is, if you want to have longevity in your exercise and ESPECIALLY in your everyday LIFE, you NEED to be able to efficiently move your joints and muscles through the maximum range of motion without risk of injury. - Nobody wants to be the person who blows out their back or neck lifting a grocery bag. - Creating exercise programs is one of the things I do for anyone I work with who wants to improve their health and start an exercise routine. Doing it smart and methodical is key to longevity and success! - Did you prioritize a movement practice today?

TAG the women in your life to let them know they're loved! - International Women's Day - Everyone knows who REALLY wears the pants in a household. ... - A woman takes a house and makes it a home. - A woman can take the hardest, strongest man and make him melt like butter. - A woman can receive a couple tiny cells and in 9 months can produce a brand new life. - Women are who hold our society together behind the scenes, behind the curtains and closed doors. - Women are the ones who take the rigid, rational, powerful dominance of masculinity and bend it with their love. Injecting their own passion, emotion, creativity, receptivity, and softness. - Creating the balance that the whole world seeks to find. - If you're a woman reading this.. - You're amazing and special and know that you are the foundation of every family out there even if you may not get credit. - Don't laugh at my attempted poetry it's straight from the heart - - - - #motivnutrition #internationalwomensday #womensday #nutrition #equality #women #womenempowerment #womenshealth #womeninbusiness #womensfashion #loveforwomen #love #holistichealth #holistic #holistichealthtips #holistichealthcoach #healthcoach #healthcoaching #healthybodyandmind #healthyplanet #onefamily #onetribe #vibe #goodvibes #loveothers #lovewomen #loveyourself #loveyourbody #poetry #attempt See more

Sounds easy, right? - If it is so easy, why do so many of us suffer from a life we don't enjoy. - Why do we tolerate jobs, people, thoughts that we dislike and rob us of our energy and excitement for our life?... - Why do you spend the irreplaceable minutes of your life with people who make you feel shitty about yourself? - Why do you continue to overeat foods that make you feel terrible and leave you filled with regret? - The quality of our thoughts determines the quality of our life. Marcus Aurelius said it almost 2000 years ago and it rings truer in our modern times than ever. - With an endless amount of flashing lights trying to steal our attention it becomes increasingly hard to focus on what we TRULY want to create in our life. - Here's a simple challenge, for the rest of the day, ONLY think about things you want to happen or create in your life, NOT what today's bad news story is, ONLY the things you want to create and bring into your life and see the change in your attitude, relationships, and overall mental wellbeing. - Our thoughts are and become the programming for every action we take. It's time to take this knowledge seriously. - - #motivnutrition #nutritionmatters #thoughtsmatter #nutrition #healthcoachtips #holistic #holistichealthcoach #holistichealing #holisticliving #holistichealth #helping #thoughtoftheday #sundayfunday #sundayvibes #yourthoughtscreateyourreality #create #creativity #lifeforce #mentalhealth #meaningfulgoals #fulfillment #full #potential #sovereignty #highvibration #positivemindset #positivevibes #love #loveyourself #loveothers See more

2020 was a damn good year for reading! - All the down time of the lockdown and tackling a new perspective and method of health coaching forced me into the best year for personal and professional growth I've ever had. - I am extremely grateful that I'm in the position to be able to take advantage of this and not have any friends or loved ones affected by the state of the world.... - I read books outside my comfort zone and outside of my typical interests for the sake of trying to find new perspectives and ways of looking at life and at the world. I'd highly recommend you do the same. - Books that had the greatest impact on me: Stalking the Wild Pendulum by Itzhak Bentov & Emotional Intimacy by Robert Masters - Books that changed my perspective in one or more ways: The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler & The Giver by Louise Lowry & The Way to Love by Anthony DeMello. - All of these books were great reads and I'd highly recommend any of them. - 2020 set the stage for a deeper level of study and learning for me and I'm only going to keep diving deeper and wider into the infinite ocean of books out there. - What was your favorite book you read last year?

Reposted from @itreatmentns - I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this and to be able to help even more people through this amazing service! - Ideally, iTreatment clients are at a point in their addiction that they are motivated for change, but need steady consistent support to maintain their commitment to goals. They want to continue feeling a sense of independence in their private lives and manage responsibilities while attending to their self-care in a mor...e prominent way. They recognize the strength of being connected to a community, and have the support of family and friends that are equally committed to areas of healing that may have been ignored before.

YOU FERMENTING YET? - Digestive Tip Numba 3! - Consuming Fermented Foods!... - One of the best ways to ensure healthy digestion is to have a healthy and diverse population of bacteria in your digestive tract. Too many processed foods, vegetable oils and refined sugar really throw the balance off in your system and create an imbalanced ratio of helpful to harmful bacteria. - An easy way to start to heal your gut microbiome is to 1. Stop eating that garbage & 2. Consume fermented whole foods 2-5 times a week! - Avoid high dose probiotic supplements UNLESS you know exactly which strains you need and select a supplement based on your specific situation, otherwise it could just end up being a bacterial bomb in your stomach that further throws off the diversity ratio as those supplements are usually very high dose and very high price! - A much simpler and cheaper option is to eat foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, fermented pickles, and kombucha! These are the foods our ancestors have consumed for thousands of years and relied on as healthy doses of nutrition and a way to preserve food before refrigerators. - I aim to get 3-5 servings a week split between some sauerkraut with supper and some kombucha during lunch time. It's much cheaper than supplements and easier for your body to work with. - Combined with a healthy diet of mainly high quality whole foods, you're setting yourself up for a happy digestive system and a healthier body & mind! - Stay tuned for another tip on Wednesday! - LET ME KNOW YOUR FAVORITE FERMENTED FOODS! - #motivnutrition #nutritionmatters #nutrition #nutrients #fermentation #fermentedfoods #fermented #healthyfood #healthybodyandmind #healthygut #probiotictips #probiotics #holistichealing #holistichealthcoaching #holistichealthcoach #healthcoachtips #healthcoach #healthcoaches #holisticnutrition #primal #microbiome #guthealth #digestiontips #digestivesupport #digestivehealth #loveyourbody #loveyourself #holisticliving #healthyfood #mentalhealth See more
