The Kick in the Butt you need

OKay- So I gotta admit, I need a kick in the butt.

Life’s gotten a bit bumpy and maaaan do I wanna wallow. Not huge wallowing.. just stay on the couch in my comfy pants with my dog and Roku remote wallowing. Now, even though I know that’s okay to do once in a while.. it’s not gonna do me any good right now.

Right now I need to keep my head high and eyes forward. For my mental health AND simply because I gotta work! Going through a divorce and moving can really wipe your bank account.

I happened to come across this story on NPR a couple weeks ago. After just a few minutes of hearing this story – I felt way better about my situation and realized just how lucky I am!

I can’t wait for you to feel the same:)  It’s all thanks to Dr. Tererai Trent. Now I couldn’t find the audio file, but I did find an awesome clip from Ms. Oprah Winfrey on Terari (of course Oprah would find her!! )

http://www.oprah.com/own-oprahshow/tererai-trents-story-video

This woman overcame intense adversity. I mean the F*ing odds were stacked against her.

  • poverty
  • living in a 3rd world country
  • abusive husband
  • 6 kids
  • no money
  • no education

But this lady stood up and said “It is Achievable” She literally went from nothing – to becoming a Dr. and opening up schools in her native Zimbabwe so she could change the lives of countless girls and women. She wanted to end the ugly cycle she saw herself caught in.

So .. If you’re feeling like things are hard and you just can’t muster up the strength to do what you need to do- Watch this CLIP, listen to Dr. Tererai Trent and know that Anything “IS ACHIEVABLE”

Anti Cold Smoothie

So… When you’re feeling that dull ache in your head and body, like you know you’re headed to sick town, there’s a couple things you can do right away (and every day for the few days) to head off that bug.

  1. Get in more protein – aids in recovery and keeps you strong
  2. Get in more greens – packs in the most vitamins and nutrients

This can be hard to pack in high quality protein and veg, especially with busy days. That’s why I engineered an awesome smoothie that packs a protein and green punch + a bunch of other anti- inflammatory/ immune boosting foods.

Check it out!

I do a full pitcher and pour them into 4 grab and go cups (I prefer – blender ball bottles).

Each day I just grab one and go!

PODCAST. How to deal with a breakup and NOT wreck yourself

I’ve always been known as a straight shooter. So I’m gonna stay true to that here for you.

Two weeks ago my husband and I decided to end our marriage of ten years.

We somehow stayed calm and pretty darn respectful of each other as we both agreed we are better apart, while we’ve been living like single people for some time.. It still completely sucked.

Why am I sharing this with you? Good question:)

Because I know when sucky stuff happens, we humans can get so caught up in the mess of a situation and feel super lost and alone. This is a one way ticket to Hot Mess Town. I’m not going there and neither are you:)

What does seem to help is to hear that other people have felt the struggles and pain we feel (in any situation) It’s also super helpful when we know we’re totally normal and that there is a next step forward to a better place.

This is exactly why I love Oprah and Inspiring Sports Dramas:)

To keep myself on track and accountable I’m going social with my journey. My entire purpose as a Health Coach is to help people stay victors in their daily life and not allow themselves to be victims.

Honestly this is as much for me as it is for you. I figure if I literally have to SHOW UP each week and DO THE WORK I know I need to do, I’ll stay on a good path. So I’m starting here–

At Step #1

Get Some Freakin’ Perspective! 

My better perspective right now is all thanks to some kick ass people experts I listened to last week. A super easy way to get access to Experts is through Podcasts!

  1. Dr. Katherine Woodward’s Podcast with Lewis Howes on “Healthy UnCoupling”

Somehow I came across this episode on my 5 hour road trip to move back to Seattle and find a new apartment for my dog and I. So timely. This episode on Lewis Howe’s School of Greatness, made me snap out of my angry, emotional state and calm the F down.

Dr.. Woodward is a godsend. She showed me that I can turn this whole divorce thing on it’s head. To stop looking at a break up as a shame filled event. To stop the pints of ice cream, alcohol and Tyler Perry movies.

I know that I am really lucky to have found the man I spent the last 13 years with. He was the right person for those years. We both know that we will each better lives separately. And that great stuff lies ahead for us both. THANKS to this podcast I have better PERSPECTIVE and can see that now:)

I’m gonna keep plugging into inspiring podcasts this week. Lewis Howes has a knack for finding awesome experts that I know will  keep my head up and eyes forward. So I’m gonna keep it simple and plug into a few more School of Greatness  episodes.

Lewis Howes- School of Greatness    CLICK HERE for iTunes Podcast

I can’t wait to hear Pro- Surfer’s Mark Mathew’s on “Facing Fears and Bouncing Back” Perfect for my next dog walk 🙂

Coconut Oil VIDEO. Why it’s great for you and some hard backed science for you doubters.

CLICK HERE for a quick video I made for you.

This gives the top benefits, A little science + HOW to safely use it. 

Coconut oil is like a wrongly convicted criminal.  This is made super obvious if you type “coconut oil is bad for you” in google, you’ll come up with hundreds of articles and videos with evidence.

OKAY – now type in “coconut oil is good for you” and you’ll get even more siding FOR the nut.

So much fuss!  There are waaay too many news sources on both sides… Who do we listen to ..  Huff Post, Wall Street Journal, Pub MD?

I don’t know about you – but I would totally trust a world renowned Doctor that also happens to have some mighty cred in the nutrition world. For that I head to Dr. Joseph Mercola (CLICK HERE for full background OR watch a short Documentary on him CLICK HERE)

Here is his full article on the Benefits of Coconut Oil. (Click Here)Read More

Coffee! Science on Why it’s awesome for you

To put your mind at ease about enjoying coffee, I’ve lined up some awesome resources for you.

I’m from Seattle, worked as a barista for 4+ years and wake up at 4 AM. Needless to say I am a huge fan of coffee. As a Nutrition Specialist, I LOVE that more and more studies emerge showing the health benefits of coffee.

To stay unbiased, I dug up some studies for you. There’s also some fun facts sure to impress your friends)

(CLICK HERE for Bulletproof Coffee Info)

ALSO  have alternatives to coffee (it may not agree with you) CLICK  to know what to drink  “if not coffee”

Best part is, by the end of reading this blog you will the exactly how to easily enjoy your coffee so you get the most benefits  out of it!  Please scroll through it all.

First some quick facts on what coffee does for your body:

It naturally gets your body to: burn fat, reduce the likelihood of dementia, depression and diabetes. Now let’s hit pause (before you go grab a latte, mocha or your drip coffee with cream) you should never add anything BUT water.  that water should be the best quality (filtered water) . 

DO NOT ADD: 

Milk (any type) Sugar and flavors (ANY type) will block coffee’s awesome powers and create havoc in your body (if not right away, over time)

** Caveat! Bulletproof coffee is healthy and I strongly advise it – CLICK HERE for full video + guide

Okay, now we can move on 🙂 I have pro tips below to stay healthy & cash in on the best stuff!

 Here’s WHY coffee is super healthy and what superpowers it gives you

1. Those beans are chock full of awesome stuff

It’s all thanks to the rich soil they grow in. Think about it – when do you ever look for your beans to come from Cincinatti?  NOPE you want fancy tropical names like Brazil, Costa Rica, Columbia, Jamaica, Indonesia. That’s cause those places have dense rainforests and amazing soil chock full of good stuff that these beans soak up and give to you.

Specifically:

  • Magnesium– keeps bones strong, reduces fatigue, reduces risk of osteoporosis, keeps your heart healthy
  • Riboflavin– Huge for muscle regeneration and recovery, improves insulin sensitivity AND keeps your gut healthy. Also improves vision and skin health
  • Panthothenic acid– produces neurotransmitters, decreases depression and anxiety, boosts muscle recovery, synthesizes neurotransmitters, hormones and fats so you can stay balanced and deal with them all best.
  • Potassium– Keeps your nervous system healthy and regulates heart rate
  • Polyphenols– Basically micronutrients with antioxidant activity. If you want a healthy gut, less risk of disease, fight off depression and care about looking great- you need to give a damn about these.

Turns out coffee is the #1 SOURCE OF POLYPHENOLS!

ALL this combined keeps you healthy, strong, skyrockets stamina, ups your mental game, keeps you emotionally calibrated PLUS fights off off free radicals so you’re less at risk to get scary diseases like cancer, heart disease and depression

2. Those beans actually make you crush your workouts and make you more attractive

Get stronger, faster, happier and more focused. Hello superhero days:)

Coffee is an “ergogenic aid”. It boosts your “power output”If taken before ANY form of exercise you will be faster, stronger and more focused. (so long as you got enough sleep and stay off your phone during your workout)

I definitely do better when I have coffee before my own workouts

Here’s some sweet ass COFFEE Studies/Science for you!

Increases performance in strength training:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18708685

Increases aerobic – cardio performance http://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Abstract/2003/08000/Effect_of_Repeated_Caffeine_Ingestion_on_Repeated.15.aspx

PLUS it Decreases Depression

Now this is cool. There’s an awesome study from Harvard proving that coffee drops depression in women. I’m super excited about this:)

Study for you:  https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/coffee-depression-women-ascherio-lucas/

 3. SO here’s how to not screw all this up for yourself

All this kickass stuff is in the coffee BEAN.

There is not many benefits to milk or sugar. We don’t need either in our diets. ( leafy greens can give you all the Vit D, calcium, iron and magnesium you need)

Remember THIS:   Anytime you add milk (any kind- even dairy free) or flavors (any kind- even sugar free) you decrease the awesome powers in the coffee bean.

Just to be extra clear.. Coffee gives you all these amazing benefits, as long as you don’t add milk or sugar.. those two things are like kryptonite to coffee.

THE 5 BEST steps to get the most out of your coffee.

  1. Don’t add milk or sugar –

This may be hard for you. Try this.. change your latte or mocha to a “MEZZO” this means you have half the milk, the other half is water. Steamed together it’s still creamy and you’re not pouring as much kryptonite on your coffee.

Sorry, there are no tricks to the sweeteners – simply get rid of them. That means even the sugar free, non fat kinds + any chocolate or caramel sauce. You’re basically crushing superman with a giant rock.

2.  Drink 12 oz or less.

The more water you mix with your coffee the more it’s diluted. Not as much as with milk – but it’s still not as powerful. A smaller cup will greatly reduce the water content

3. Drink espresso, not drip coffee

Espresso means the beans are ground and packed tightly and just a small of water flows through them. Drip is loosely packed ground coffee and a lot of water passes through them. ** also espresso gives you more energy for longer.

Once I switched to ONLY straight espresso, I stopped having those energy crashes

** also OPT for the LIGHTER roast – it has more caffeine!

4. Stick to one, MAYBE 2 awesome cups of coffee a day

When you up the power from your coffee, you simply don’t need as much. Try not to drink coffee after 2 PM, if you’re a normal 9-5 worker.

5. Up your shots

That’s right.. I said it:) If you’re used to 2 cups of double tall lattes (2 shots/drink) – nix the latte and get 4 shots of straight up espresso in just one cup in your AM. I turned my two double short into 4 shots of espresso.

6. GO for the lighter roast– The less a bean is heated, the more caffeine it has. Cool, right!

**7. THIS IS THE GAME CHANGER! Make Bulletproof Coffee

Bulletproof coffee is your coffee enhanced in every great way. By adding two simple ingredients to your morning cup you will burn even MORE fat, skyrocket your brain power & stay full longer. The coolest part is you way more polyphenols out of every cup of Bulletproofed coffee.

CLICK HERE for all the goods on How to and Why you should BULLETPROOF YOUR COFFEE!

(I have it everyday – 5 years and going strong!)

Stick to this list for easy reference on best coffee drinks.  #1 is best. You deserve better than anything  8 or 9 🙂

#1  Double or Triple Espresso. This is just the shots – High quality beans (no drive thru small town stands for you). 2 – 4 shots.If too bitter for you add a small amount of water – 1-2 inches is good.

#2  Short (6 oz) Americano – Pick the amount of shots you want 2-4 shots. This is 1/2 espresso 1/2 hot water

#3 French Press – More densely packed coffee grounds = still some great powers for you

#4  Pour Over – Higher quality coffee with denser packed grounds

#5 Cold Brew – Opt for non flavored and no milk added.

#6  Drip Coffee – less beans more water. Go for a small size on this. More water is not better

#7 Mezzo – 1/2 americano 1/2 steamed milk. Remember milk is kryptonite to healthy coffee beans

#8 Latte – espresso + steamed milk. Not a healthy choice. You are have just killed superman with that milk

#9  Mocha, frappucino … anything else = not good at all. You know better:)

Jasyoga. Yoga that works in EVERYDAY life

[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/5636281/height/0/width/0/theme/standard/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/autoplay/no/preload/no/no_addthis/no/direction/forward/” height=”” width=””]

We all know yoga is good for us. We know we should stretch more, drop some stress and maybe stop feeling all jacked up. So why don’t we do it more often? I mean it’s very definition is:

Yoga: a system of exercises for mental and physical health     We need that pretty much every day! But there’s no way most of us can fit in a yoga class more than twice a week. Here’s a few of the 10 reasons I came up

1. Don’t have enough time   It’s hard to fit in a 60-90 minute class time. Then there’s the time to get there as well as shower/ clean up time after. Could take up to 2-2.5 hours just to get in that yoga class.

2. Stinky and sweaty after  Yoga is typically in a warm to hot studio. Do you have time to fit in a class, go home shower and get on with your day like that? Many studios don’t have showers (or just one shower)  Often I can’t make a class simply because I can’t figure out how to get my own stink off after.

3. Can’t make the class times   Yeah there’s a lot of times, but none of them work for you.

4. Don’t know where to start  Yoga can look a super daunting to many of us. My lifter friends feel exactly this way. The thought of holding a position and not moving can make many Type A gym goers super anxious.

So what if we took away ALL the excuses?

What if you could do yoga anywhere, anytime for  just 5 minutes. No hassling with traffic, class times, showers, no chanting or expensive accessories, totally familiar movements where you can fart as much as you like and no one will judge you. Oh, you also can do it all for less than $10/month.

Doesn’t that sound way more doable? That is exactly why you MUST know about Jasyoga. 

Jasyoga is online bite size (5-30 minutes) “practical yoga that helps you solve imbalances” stated by creator and owner, Erin Taylor.

You may not be concerned about “imbalances” in your body. But you totally should. This is when you are tight, jacked up, achy, tired or god forbid.. injured. This all can wreck you big time, making you suck at daily life on every possible level.

Erin knows just how gnarly imbalances can be and how crucial it is to keep the body in balance. As an injured college basketball player she knew she had to fix her body but needed something that was totally doable and practical for everyday busy life. This is how Jasyoga came to be.

For the past ten years she’s has been bringing Jasyoga to the masses; from College football teams, NBA players, Olympic Track Stars to the mom next door. After moving across the world and having a baby, she realizes just how important it is that anyone be able to quickly “hit reset” and find balance everyday. You’ve got to check out her amazing resources that you can grab hold of right now, from anywhere.

That’s exactly why she’s on this Burn Brighter episode, so you can hear:

  • How she fits in yoga daily on super jam packed days as a full time mom (2 yr old), author & business owner on the go!
