This morning as the boys and I were in the gym doing our upper body workout, we got to talking about the sneaky little saboteur known as perfectionism and how it can totally derail your health and fitness journey.

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.
