Optimal Wellness

It took more than a few weeks to get out of shape and it's going to take more than a few weeks to get back into shape. The objective should be long term progress, not a quick fix. Fitness, nutrition, and being healthy comes down to long term consistency. Don't think about how quickly you can get in shape, think about how good your body and mind will feel after a solid year or two of developing healthy lifestyle habits. 💪🔥👊 . . . #strongereveryday #strength #strengthtraining #resistancetraining #fitness #workout #exercise #health #highintensity #personaltraining

"I know—it can be a struggle to get your kids to eat the “right” foods. With the processed junk that passes as “kid’s food” today, it’s even more difficult to ensure that your child eats a healthy diet. Research shows that the more restrictive the diet in children, the greater the risk for nutrient deficiencies. When meat, which is one of the most nutrient-dense foods available, isn’t part of a child’s diet, these risks are even greater. Meat-free diets are unavoidably low in nutrient density, by favoring whole grains and legumes over animal products, making it harder for kids to get adequate nutrition."

"Adults go to the doctor roughly three times a year, during which vitals are taken, including blood pressure, pulse and weight. But are these measurements really showing the full picture of a person's overall health? Extensive research shows health care professionals should be considering something often overlooked—muscle mass."

"Many people know weightlifting is hugely beneficial but think light walking or recreational activity is “good enough” for seniors. There is this misconception that older aged individuals should stay away from any strenuous activity that can build strength like weightlifting.
Unfortunately, this couldn’t be further from the truth."

Time is the ultimate currency. You're busy with kids, careers, and whatever else life brings your way. You don't have hours and hours of time to spend in the gym. We get it, which is why we advocate 1-2 focused, intense 30 minute strength training sessions per week for most clients.
Don't be fooled into thinking you have to spend hour after hour, day after day grinding away in the gym to achieve great results, because you'll be setting yourself up for burnout, injury, and a m...uch greater chance of quitting altogether.
We can help you establish a plan that you can stick to over the long haul and gets you the results you're looking for without interfering with the rest of your life. 🔥💪🏋️ . . . #strongereveryday #strengthtraining #strength #resistancetraining #workout #exercise #fitness #health #highintensity #personaltraining

When you see a video of your favorite athlete performing an extremely complex exercise, understand that this is not where they started nor is it how they generally train. They started with the basics and the bulk of their training even to this day revolves around simple (not easy) movement patterns. For youth athletes, there is no better way to set a foundation for long term training success than to maximize your progress with basic fundamental exercises. Learn to squat, deadlift, push, pull, and carry heavy things first and foremost. 💪👊🔥🏋️ . . . #strongereveryday #strengthtraining #strength #resistancetraining #fitness #exercise #workout #health #highintensity #personaltraining

"Lifting weights won’t make women bulky, but it will make them strong, lean and healthy if you’re interested in that."

Food is the single most important factor when it comes to health and body composition. And when it comes to food, both quantity AND quality matter. Making an effort to eliminate low quality food and take in an abundance of nutrient dense food is crucial during any attempt to modify your body composition for the long term. 2000 calories of nutrient-dense whole foods like grass-fed beef, wild caught fish, and produce grown in nutrient-rich soil will impact your health very diff...erently than 2000 calories of processed fast food. We all know this, but sometimes we just need a little help to start to correct course and make the necessary changes to get us on the right track with what we put in our mouths.
Our Optimal Nutrition Coaching program is designed to develop the nutritional understanding, habits, and skills to pair the right quantity AND quality of food to reach your long term nutrition goals.
