Many humans start off every new year with resolutions; to eat better, to workout more, to take better care of their health. The problem with this is HIGH expectations and no solutions on HOW to accomplish these resolutions.

Last week I talked about the Sunshine Vitamin and the importance it has in your overall wellbeing. If you missed that blog, catch it here.

Today, let’s talk about one mighty little nutrient that often doesn’t get the spotlight it deserves: Vitamin D. Yep, that’s right, the sunshine vitamin! Did you know that Vitamin D is also considered a hormone?

Listen up, folks, because this is crucial. As we get older, it's easy to fall into routines and stick to what's comfortable. You and I both know, that's a recipe for stagnation, both physically and mentally.

It’s no secret that a lot of people out in the world are looking for the holy grail of weight loss; aka the quick fix. These people usually want to lose weight quickly and easily, and that’s why I felt the need to write about the hot topic that's been making waves in the health community: Ozempic, the weight loss drug.

When you make exercise and movement a part of your daily routine, you're not just improving your physical health, you're boosting your mood, reducing stress, increasing your energy levels, and improving your overall quality of life. And let me tell you, there's no quick fix out there that can offer all of those benefits.

Let's face it, as we age our body changes and begins to break down. It's even more important to focus on eating a healthy, well-balanced diet than ever.  The needs of the body are much different than they were in the days of our youth.

 You CAN eat more and lose weight! You heard me right. You may be thinking I am off my rocker, and at times I am (even I know that), but in this case listen up.

We all lead busy lives and sometimes getting a 60 or 90 minute workout in is not feasible. That’s why today I am here to to talk about a concept that's near and dear to my heart: working out smarter, not harder.

For today’s Q+A I chose a question that I thought many of you out there would appreciate and may have curiosity about. I’ve touched on it before, but I thought posting it here would be helpful too.

”Besides your guaranteed hangover, how else does alcohol affect your health? I always thought if you do everything in moderation there were no long term effects (excluding drug use and nicotine of course).

In a world that focuses on cardio, HIIT workouts and getting your sweat on to stoke the metabolism, there is ONE key component that is often missing in all of that; building muscle.

We see it all over social media; people plunging into icy cold water as a way to support their health. It may seem like it’s some crazy fad or trend, or maybe the people doing it are a little crazy, but I think that cold plunging, aka Cold Immersion Therapy is here to stay.

The other day I went live on my Tony Horton Fitness Instagram page (I do lives there every Tuesday) and shared something that I feel is almost just as crucial for your overall well-being as exercising every day — SERVICE!

It’s the holiday season and its the time of year when stress levels can run high and relationships can be tested. Triggers are abound, and spending time with family can bring out the worst in us..

Gratitude, we hear influencers, coaches and mentors talk about it, and it almost seems a bit cliche, yet it truly can be instrumental in helping to change your life for the better.

Even though the practice of gratitude might not seem like an obvious fit for a workout warrior like me, I have to say it's been a game-changer to my life.

As we dive headfirst into the holiday season, I know it can be a challenge to keep stress at bay. Between the festive parties, family gatherings, and the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping, it's easy to feel overwhelmed….

Perfection can be a slippery slope. Waiting until something is perfect could very well have you missing out on what’s occurring right now, and set you up to feel like a failure over and over.
