The Hidden Key to Effortless Health
Feel like you’re doing everything right—working out, eating healthy—but still not feeling your best?
Ever wondered why some people seem effortlessly healthy while others struggle? The secret isn’t in the latest fad diet or workout trend—it’s in embracing a holistic approach to health and fitness that nurtures your body, mind, and soul.
The Big Picture
We believe there’s a better way to approach health and fitness. Instead of only focusing on one thing, like exercise, we coach people to look at the whole picture. Think of it as a complete makeover for your mind and body. Ready to dive in? Let’s break it down.
Let's say you’re hitting the gym a few times a week, trying to eat well, and even squeezing in those daily steps. But still, you’re feeling tired, stressed, or not as fit and healthy as you want to be. Sound familiar? These are signs that something’s out of balance.
Here’s the thing: most fitness plans only tackle one or two parts of your health. But holistic health is like a puzzle—every piece needs to fit together. If you’re only focusing on exercise or diet, you might be missing out on the bigger picture. That’s why you might still be struggling to see the progress you want or expect–despite feeling you’re doing all the “right” things.
So, what’s the fix?
Zoom out and look at health in a more complete way.
Here’s how:
Drink Water + Electrolytes: Your body needs water and electrolytes to work right. Try to drink at least 8 glasses a day to stay hydrated and keep things running smoothly. → Our go-to electrolyte!
Eat Real Food: Whole foods like fruits, veggies, lean meats, and grains are packed with the good stuff your body needs. Eating these will give you more energy and help you feel better overall.
Strength Train 3 Times a Week: Lifting weights or doing resistance exercises helps build strong muscles and bones. Plus, it makes you feel super strong and confident.
Get Your Steps In: Aim for 8,000 to 10,000 steps each day. Walking is a simple way to keep your heart healthy and your mind clear.
Sleep Well: Getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night helps your body recover and stay sharp. It’s like hitting the reset button.
Avoid Toxins: Try to avoid things like alcohol, cigarettes, and even some household and hygiene products that aren’t great for your body. Choose natural options whenever you can.
We call those our 6 Steps for Success. Taking care of each piece of the puzzle will help you feel your best.
But there's another big piece to consider...
Stress management. And look, I get it – you can’t stop stressful things from happening. That’s exactly what exercise is for, helping you become more resilient to it! And the other aspects of those 6 Steps for Success help with recovering from stress
Balancing your total stress load can be a real challenge - aka managing relationships, work, workouts, and everything else that comes with life. That’s why it’s important to find that balance of knowing when your mind and body need to push or if it's best to rest.
Even deeper, it's important to focus on health in all aspects of your life. Your body, your mind, your emotions, your social life, and even your surroundings will impact your overall well-being. When all of these areas are healthy, you’ll feel better inside and out.
So where do I even start?!
Here are some practical ways to take action today:
Morning Hydration: Drink a glass of water first thing when you wake up. Add a little pinch of pink salt and a splash of lemon to get some electrolytes.
Whole Foods: Plan meals each week that contain fruits, veggies, and lean proteins. Keep it simple, use hand-sized servings, and spice it to your liking.
Strength Training: Pick three days a week for your workouts and schedule them into your calendar. Don’t have a workout plan? Use Chat GPT to build your own.
Daily Walks: Set an alarm to take breaks to walk and move throughout your day. We recommend 30 minutes a day. That can even be done in 10-minute bursts.
Bedtime Routine: Set a specific bedtime and wind down an hour before bed.
Mindful Choices: Opt for natural products and limit unhealthy habits like drinking alcohol.
These may seem like basic tips, but being brilliant at doing the basics is the key to sustainable success.
