Fitness in Minutes!

While speaking to clients about losing weight and improving their health, the number one constraint I hear regarding exercise is lack of time. There are numerous ways to work fitness into your day without carving out hours or ever visiting a gym. Choose one or more of these ideas and increase your activity…

If you are sitting for long periods at work or while traveling…simply stretch more often, even shoulder shrugs and neck rolls help to relieve tension and increase your mobility. Move more every day. You’ll feel so much better!

Goal Setting After Surgery...

Goal setting provides you with a road map…a plan. I contemplated this preparing for my first hip replacement. After surgery, recovery may seem so far away. Your surgeon, physical therapist, and other medical providers are watching your progress and expecting you to regain strength and return to a more normal state at a certain pace. By staying goal-oriented, you help to set an expectation of what lies ahead week by week or month by month (1).

Questions to ask yourself: 6 Months Post-Op

Are you mending as well as expected? Are you following your physical therapy orders and exercising as directed? How nutritious are your meal plans? Don’t forget, our bodies mend much more quickly with proper fuel. Eat Well! Are you managing your inflammation as well as you possibly can? Hold yourself accountable. Most importantly…where would you like to be in another 6 months? Make a plan!

The success of your recovery and achieving your health goals is in your hands. Your surgeon, nurses, physical therapist, and other medical professionals can only do so much…the rest is up to you.

A Starch Based Medical Practice...

Dr. John McDougall has been a pioneer in the field of medicine since 1978. His starch-based nutrition approach in patient care has positively changed the lives of his patients, he and his family’s life, and my life. (Yes, he practices what he preaches and has eaten a whole food plant-based oil free diet for decades.) Dr. McDougall’s message to his colleagues about how to set up a successful general practice based on a starch-based diet is fascinating. Considering the medication facts listed (courtesy of Dr. McDougall), a different approach to healthcare is just what the American public could use. Read Dr. John McDougall’s model to develop a successful starch-based medical practice here.
