High-Protein Breakfast Ideas After a Morning Workout
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll see my near-daily early AM workouts. Every morning, rain or shine, I get up at 5 a.m. and go to the gym. It’s a moment of peace before the day gets busy and a way to ensure I sweat before anything else.
The truth is, I need two breakfasts those mornings—one at 7 a.m. and the other around 10 a.m. If one or both are not high enough in protein, I’m starving for the entire day. The hangry cycle doesn’t break till bedtime. I’ve compiled my favorite post-workout breakfasts that fuel me, and I hope they will fuel you, too.
Hydration Through the Seasons: How Needs Change with the Climate
Staying hydrated is crucial for maintaining health and wellness, regardless of the season. However, the changing climates throughout the year can influence our hydration needs in significant ways. Understanding these changes and how to adapt can help you maintain optimal hydration from summer’s heat to the cooler days of fall.
Summer to Fall: Transitioning Your Diet for Cooler Weather
As the seasons shift from the heat of summer to the crispness of fall, our dietary needs subtly shift as well. This change in the weather calls for an adaptation in our meals, from light and refreshing dishes to those that provide warmth and energy. This blog post explores strategies to adjust your diet to align with the seasonal transition, ensuring you feel nourished, satisfied, and ready to embrace the cooler months.
Boosting Immunity with Seasonal Foods: Transition from Summer to Fall
As we shift from the warm days of summer to the brisk air of fall, our dietary needs also begin to change. This transitional period can stress our immune system, but with the right seasonal foods, we can enhance our body's ability to combat illnesses. This guide delves into how to boost your immune health by incorporating specific seasonal produce available during the late summer and early fall.
Winning Wellness: What Olympians and Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Can Teach Us About Health Goals
This summer, one of the biggest news stories is that the country’s top-tier athletes—Olympians to the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders—have second jobs. While there’s a story about their payment for their profession, that’s not where we’re going today. Instead, I want to focus on the duality of their lives to accomplish their dreams and take care of their health to the fullest extent.
We live in a world where we are told we can do both and have it all, but to do that, we have to do the work and put in the hours, consistency, and time to make it happen. That’s why taking charge of our health may feel like too much work, too much commitment, and never the right time. Becoming the CEO of our health and wellness is like having a second job! However, like a professional athlete, the daily hard work and dedication pay off when you win.
This post explores these parallels, offering insights and strategies to help you manage your health goals as diligently as an athlete trains. It proves that the pursuit of personal well-being is indeed akin to the dedication seen in professional sports. Hard work, but worth it for the gold medal, aka achieving YOUR goals!
