Nourish & Nurture

The practical tools of health create a foundation. Clean eating, exercising, meditation, journaling and many modalities all support health foundationally. Growth requires a space in between, where you begin to let go and release. This uplevel shifts your perspectives, bringing about a pause for clarity, 

Movement Patterns and Function

Movement Patterns and Function

There is so much emphasis on fitness and training, which is wonderful. There is a whole other level of training which is more conducive to health. Health and movement require a process and function to mechanics, motion and movement. Your body has systems and processes 

Fitness and Health

Fitness and Health

Modern society has looked at fitness to be a certain way. So much emphasis on harder, more core and strength, from the outside. To be transparent, health in relation to fitness doesn’t come from here. Health in relation to fitness comes from connecting within. Your stabilizing system, your deep intrinsic muscles these are the key to health longer term. When you are active and engaged in this kind of fitness & health you hold power, leverage and the capacity to stand strong. Resistance, while helps us become stronger must be balanced with stability and mobility. Traditional training does not interconnect on a global level this type of motion.

Stability and mobility are foundational for any type of strength, flexibility and movement. No way around it. Stability and mobility keep you young and youthful. It’s not about more or harder. Seriously it is about practical, intentional and integrative. When you can apply all the aspects of fitness into your fitness, you’re on to something. This means scheduling your time for movements and activities which are more than the doing of cardio, weight training or HIIT. This becomes understanding the methods which move your body and the systems as they connect.

Integrating a functional and integrative movement program brings to you greater health from your fitness.

Look to maximize your workouts, by exercises which work your deep muscle fibers of your rotators, your pelvic floor, your inner unit in your hips and the movement of the shoulder blades and rotators of your shoulders. These areas are the true identity of your core. Keep them moving well, with rotation, stability and mobility. Your body will show up stronger, more powerfully and leaner and longer.

The gift in fitness is the health you gain. Don’t sacrifice what you think strength and a healthy body is for the true nature of fitness and health.

3 Dimensions of Health

3 Dimensions of Health

There are 2 paths. The path I am looking to show you is one that embodies all of you, values your health and success. The path I have to show you knows growth, success, health and vision are matched and elevated in the heart, mind and body through your thoughts, feelings, emotions and presence.

Your True Spirit of Health

Your True Spirit of Health

It’s interesting that you may look for a diagnosis to prove your feelings, emotions and health. A label that gives you permission to feel the way you feel. I always go back to the story of one of the greatest athletes, Wilma Rudolph. Dr’s told 

The Evolution of Health

The Evolution of Health

Over the decades we have seen many additions to support health from fitness programming, ideas of fitness and all types of nutrition concepts and protocols. Something that is clear is the US Population has increased in obesity, diabetes and chronic illness. I would say this is a sign we haven’t quite gotten it right, yet.

Lifestyle Medicine, aware of the issues with health and forward thinking in health looks much deeper at all levels of the body and systems. I mean cytokines which are inflammatory and turned on during steady state exercise, inability to methylate B Vitamins, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter activity and it goes on.
Are you seeing this perspective? We must advance our scope of health as people.

Sure, we know gluten free and dairy free can help us feel better and regular exercise makes us feel good. It’s time to go beyond that, the next level.

Phytonutrients in foods, antioxidants plus a host of ways the body is asking to be supported which you haven’t even visited yet as it hasn’t been on your radar.

Now it is ahead of the curve. This isn’t something to wait on until others do it. The research and data is out. High level functional medicine professionals already know the trends and where to focus on for health. To look deeper.

Anti- Aging, vitality has a very distinguished process that you can find your way towards health.

This is exciting. Not something to shy away from either. Dig in, ask questions. Be- proactive and curious.

Today’s health has us looking at the inner working of the body and systems; hormones, inflammation, gut health, brain health, neurotransmitters, emotions, mental capabilities. All interconnected.

Be mindful, be open. Look forward rather than backwards. The only reason to look back is to connect the dots.

There’s a way forward within the new scope of health and fitness and those of us within it, are really excelling.

Keep going, you’re doing great, and I’ll be right here supporting and cheering you on.

In health & passion,

Mindset: The New Strength Training

Mindset: The New Strength Training

Mindset looks at your thoughts, feelings and beliefs, Your thoughts are electric sending out a signal. Your feelings are magnetic, what you are feeling is drawing in to you experiences- good and bad. And your Beliefs control, dictate, oversee what you think and how/what you feel.

PERFORMANCE

PERFORMANCE

Performance is a set of deep feelings, emotions, actions, habits and precision in motion. As athletes, actors and those who put on a show, performance is a given….a path and a way of doing for a sense of purpose and meaning. A real connection to one’s own soul and vision.

Fitness as a lifestyle requires the same level of connection. Fitness is not something to put on a to do list or task. Fitness is a series of emotions and feelings that move you towards a better way of living and in this performance is the foundation that holds your health, your fitness, your business and family foundation together. It’s the foundation to plant your desires and habits on.

Performance and health is not only measured by data, it is measured by feeling, experience and actions. As a high achiever and driven in business to excel, grow and increase, your fitness skills and lifestyle can take on the same qualities. You know there is a method and process to the success you have achieved and continue towards in business. Now you have the opportunity to apply those skills to fitness and lifestyle.

Performance in health and fitness through smart nutrition and quality movement takes focus, discipline and great habits you count on. Performance from the level of elite level athlete counts on coaches and trainers to keep us healthy and functioning. As an elite level athlete I count on my own will, discipline, focus and drive to succeed. My purpose behind it embodies passion and purpose.

The energy of passion and purpose is the building block for performance.

You have the skills already. Now having the right coach to maximize your energy and take your health fitness and overall well-being to the next level.

Are your ready to find your passion and purpose for your health?
