Helping make fitness, healthy food and natural living PRACTICAL for busy moms!
When it comes to a healthy lifestyle there are so many ways to approach your system. However, in my years as a coach and from my own personal journey, I’ve learned that keeping it simple is the best avenue.
When I first started my health journey I lived off fast food, was a pessimist, had low energy, and eventually struggled with fertility.
Implementing these healthy tips and making simple changes each and every day is what made the biggest difference.
A healthy lifestyle is about more than just cutting some sweetener, it’s about a holistic approach. You need to consider:
One aspect without others is simply incomplete. A healthy lifestyle isn’t a diet, fad, or trend but what you believe.
Drink your water – we all know we need it, but rarely do we place as much focus on it as we should. Guzzle up every day.
Move your body – scheduled workouts are great and important. However, what you do outside of your workouts matters too. Learn how to be more active throughout your day.
Focus on nutrients and colors – I am a firm believer that you should enjoy your food, but it also needs to fuel you. Focus on getting in nutrients not calories and make sure you eat for color/
Learn to manage stress acutely – healthy living means learning exactly what to do in the moment of a stressful situation. Breathing, a wicked song, a quick walk. Get your body out of panic mode. These yoga poses are great stress relievers.
Do things you love – we need to work for happiness and part of that is making things we enjoy a priority. Do things you love on a regular basis and truly appreciate them.
Learn to manage stress long term – part of a healthy lifestyle is having a stress outlet but also learning how to reduce your stress load.
Scale back the sugar – focus on real, whole foods as much as possible and do your best to cut back processed foods and sugar.
Get outside- find a forest or a trail and go for a walk. Remember what it was like being a kid and outside for hours. Getting outside in itself is great stress relief.
Smile, laugh, play- don’t lose the ability to be silly as you age! Play with your kids. Laugh a lot. Smiles are contagious and they’re often one of the healthy tips missing in a list. Smiling helps keep the mind positive.
Be intimate – we were made to connect with each other. Embrace intimacy.
Focus on simple and natural – reduce chemicals and exposure where you can and when possible always opt for simple.
Living a healthy lifestyle isn’t complicated but it does take some effort. We need to make ourselves a priority and remember that healthy tips shouldn’t be just about food.
This section is about everything holistic. Everyone begins their journey somewhere and I truly want people to know that every little swap matters.
It’s all the little healthy lifestyle changes you make that add up to bigger things: more energy, longevity, positivity, etc.
This section contains tips on how to live a healthy lifestyle from a holistic approach. You’ll read about healthy food swaps, eliminating known allergens, scaling back sugars and processed foods but also about managing stress, how to be more positive, and overall healthy tips on day to day choices we make to improve our wellness.
