I talk about when it is a good idea to have protein powder. Those that have access to #MyVivaPlan will be able to check out a resource on this in the Printables section of the Library! If you are in a vehicle, travelling a lot, or anywhere that a more complex snack might not be as doable, using a protein powder can be advantageous! Shake it with some cows milk or a fortified plant-beverage or pre-make it in a smoothie (and store it in a container that keeps liquids cold for a long time). Do you use protein powders? When or where do you use them?

Thinking about healthy eating? Give this a listen! I did a Google search for "healthy eating" and this got 4.9 BILLION results. That's a lot of opinions! Talk about overwhelming. Here are some tips for how you can go about this:... 1. Stop and reflect. Are you wanting to actually work on changing your behaviours? What behaviours need to be changed? Which ones do you think are already fantastic and don't need to be changed? 2. Think about your "why" and what behaviours you want to change. Is your path forward realistic and meaningful? 3. Everybody is unique and different. What works for one person doesn't work for another person! If this is a confusing and overwhelming world to navigate, book a FREE 15-minute consult with one of our dietitians here: https://p.bttr.to/30UtciV and we can chat!

This is something that I have been trying to figure out for a long time: why do we take our health for granted? Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this might be?

Revive's Holiday Specials - Day 10: Free Body Composition Analysis Package Add-On Body composition is key to tracking progression and change over time in lean tissue versus body fat. An effective nutrition and exercise program lead to a beneficial increase of lean tissue, while reducing body fat levels: thus increasing overall strength, resting metabolic rate, and health outcomes of the individual. This trumps the traditional number-on-the-scale-approach, because when an indi...vidual increases their lean body mass, this gives a false and often negative perception that the individual is gaining weight and should stop their programming despite increases in strength and overall energy. We normally offer this package add-on for $50, but we are offering it for FREE for a short period of time! Limited to 1 per person and per package. Visit https://www.revivewellness.ca/holidayspecials/ to access this promo! Please note that this only applies to body composition analyses that are added onto packages and cannot be combined with any other offers or promos. All body composition analysis appointments will be put on hold until we are able to offer them again, at which time we will honour any body composition analyses purchased as a part of this promo. Stay tuned for other promos and goodies throughout the rest of December.

One of the hidden effects of the stress response is that the liver releases glucose in order to provide energy for our muscles to fight or flee. Unfortunately, the pace of modern day living tends to be a catalyst to sending our body into the fight or flight stress response when we don’t actually require the glucose needed to run or out-muscle someone in a fight. The brain can’t distinguish between the stress of the daily news verses the stress of being in a physical struggle. And if the body cannot convert this extra glucose into energy, it builds up in the bloodstream and causes blood glucose levels to rise. Therefore, managing stress may help decrease the risk of diabetes as well as help manage the disease itself.
