On this website we provide information that supports you in living your best healthy life with tips on the importance of sleeping, exercising, nutrition and much more. Our goal is to support you in getting healthy and/or staying healthy.

For some of us this requires doing something that we’ve never done! TAKING TIME FOR SELF!

When was the last time you really took time for yourself and felt good about it.

One of the best things you can do is create a routine that you know you can follow most of the time.

Be sure to include these three things as a top priority.

1. Sleep well: create a regular time to go to be that allows for optimal 7to 9 hours of sleep. Have a wind down routine that allows you to relax and prepare for a good night’s rest.

Getting less than 6 or 7 hours of sleep for just one night can affect you the next day.

Repeatedly missing out on sleep increases the risk of disease, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and stress to name a few.

While you sleep, your body is hard at work. It restores hormonal balance, repairs itself, and keeps the circulatory and immune systems functioning properly. Your brain forms and stores memories.

Quality sleep allows you to be energetic and alert. It allows you to lose weight, exercise, work, learn, socialize, and do all the things you enjoy.

Sleep is not overrated! It’s important for memory formation, clear thinking, balance, and repairing damage.

2. Exercise often: Many of my clients ask me, “what is the best exercise” my answer is “the one you know you will do”. That’s important because it helps us in sticking to our goal. Exercise does not require a gym membership. You can join a gym if you like…will you go regularly.

One simple change you can do for exercise is set a timer for moving every hour, half hour, 20 minutes.

Whatever works for you, get up and start moving, gardening, walking taking the stairs or something else you enjoy.

Exercise helps to prevent excess weight and prevent some of the common diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, anxiety, arthritis and many more.

It improves your mood, causing you to view events/situations positively by looking for the good in them.

It boosts your energy and promotes better sleep.

Regular physical activity can improve energy levels and increase your confidence about your physical appearance, which may boost your sex life.

Remember, any movement is better than no movement!

3. Nutrition: eat well, include vegetables at each meal.

Combining good nutrition with sleeping well and exercising is the trifecta for good health.

Poor eating habits can and often do cause heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke.

One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to drink more water. The body needs water to perform the functions of keeping you healthy. Remember drinking eight (8) oz of water or more upon waking gives your body what it needs to start the day.

The best nutrition is eating what feeds and fuels the body at a cellular level.

Choose high fiber foods, plenty of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
