Well, it’s two weeks into a New Year and everything has changed, just like we dreamed! Okay, well…nothing has really changed, but still. Perhaps you made a New Year’s resolution, so maybe you changed. Maybe you started getting in early morning workouts, or eating less, or cutting out sugar. Maybe this year, you’ve resolved to get …
Five Ways to Make Fitness Your Lifestyle, Not Just A Resolution Read More »
Today’s topic is something I know next to nothing about, therefore…let’s learn together, shall we? I noticed that red light therapy has become a trend among fitness influencers, podcasters and wellness advocates, like my favorite biohacker fitness guru Ben Greenfield. I always chalked it up to something that had anecdotal evidence at best, and was a waste …
What are your healthy habits? The older I get, the more I appreciate routine. Don’t get me wrong – I still live for new experiences, like traveling somewhere I’ve never been or eating something I’ve never tasted. But in my day to day, I like having a series of healthy habits. They ground me. As I …
What’s something you are really good at? I’ll go first. I’m good at being self-disciplined, tenacious and consistent. How about something you are bad at?

In a previous post, I talked about the importance of rest and recovery to your overall health and fitness. But today, I want to talk about just good old-fashioned sleep – as …
