Trying to Stay Low Carb? Low on Energy? Here's Why!

Best Complex Carbohydrates for Endurance - In our fast-paced lives, maintaining energy levels throughout the day is essential for staying productive and focused. While quick fixes like sugary snacks may offer a temporary energy boost, they often lead to energy crashes. This is why so many people have jumped on the keto bandwagon, but after a while, they find it difficult to stick to, and they begin to have energy fluctuations.

Inflammation: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly 

How do you think you’re doing in the inflammation department? There are signs and symptoms that you might not even recognize as inflammation! Often, I find people just tell me they are a part of aging or something they just “deal” with. Do you have aches and creaks when you get up in the morning or after sitting for any length of time? How about puffy eyes, sluggishness, digestive issues, food sensitivities, joint pain, unexplained weight gain, or any diagnosable health condition?

It's January Let's Jump Into Movement

January is the month where people embark on new health goals for the year, and exercise is often one of those goals. However, it can be tricky to know how to effectively incorporate exercise into your life so that is not just a January trend, but a year round practice. So how does one develop the habit to be more physically active and build it into your daily lifestyle?

The Challenge to Staying Healthy

What Motivates You? - We live in a world where media and commercials toss images of fast food and junk foods around like it’s no big deal. I have recently made friends with a gentleman very versed in hypnosis and he claims that most of the time when he works with clients, he is un-hypnotizing them from the messaging we receive in our daily lives. Is it any wonder that it is SO mentally hard to get up, get moving, eat healthy and feel good?

Spring Forward with 5 Tips for a Gentle Detox - Spring is coming! In Alberta we are firmly planted in the spring of deception after hitting 18 degrees yesterday in Calgary! The parks were booming this weekend, and everyone is eager to get outside in the beautiful weather, especially after the year we’ve had!

Spring is also an excellent time for us to do a renewal of our own, and a great way to start that is to do a gentle body detox.

Furious and Frustrate? How to eat for Calm?

Pandemic Pandemonium or Pandemic Pacified

It has become apparent that the tension in the air is rising. I have seen more and more videos of individuals losing their cool in what should be a simple conversation. I personally experienced a friend’s frustration at having to wait in line. She just got so frustrated she left the line and went home. When she got home, she was so mad at herself she ate a bag of chips! Things just spiraled from there.

Practical Nutrition

There is so much nutrition data out there. We are bombarded with good, bad, and ugly every single day. There are reports that certain foods are good for us, then the next day that same food will cause cancer. There are “fad” diets for weight loss and “protocols” and “treatments” for certain ailments. But at the end of the day what is right? What do we believe, who do we believe and where do we turn to for the information that will be most helpful? More importantly, what are we supposed to eat?
