HAPPY NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH 🥑🥗✨

What you eat impacts more than your body — it shapes how you perform, recover, think, age, and show up for the people who matter most.

This year we’ve watched:

✔️ Division I scholarships earned

✔️ Chronic gut issues resolved

✔️ Energy, s*x drive, and lean mass rebuilt after decades of struggle

To every client and family who trusts us with your journey — thank you. You are the reason this mission continues to grow. 💛

Cold-weather vegetables are richer in fiber, sulfur compounds, polyphenols, and minerals that support gut integrity, liver detoxification, vascular function 😉, and training adaptation. Eating produce at its January peak maximizes nutrient density and bioavailability while supporting physiology during higher-stress, lower-sunlight months.

Check out our favorites:

•Brussels sprouts – Sulforaphane supports liver detox enzymes and inflammation control

•Kale – High in vitamin K, lutein, and nitrates for vascular and bone health

•Collard greens – Excellent calcium, magnesium, and fiber for gut and muscle function

•Beets – Dietary nitrates support blood flow, endurance, and mitochondrial efficiency

•Carrots – Beta-carotene supports immune function and antioxidant status

•Sweet potatoes – Complex carbs + potassium for training recovery and nervous system support

•Winter squash (butternut/acorn) – Low-glycemic carbs with carotenoids for immune health

•Cabbage – Supports gut integrity and phase II liver detoxification

•Leeks – Prebiotic fibers (inulin) support microbiome diversity

•Onions – Quercetin for inflammation modulation and immune support

•Apples – Pectin supports gut motility and cholesterol metabolism

•Citrus (oranges, grapefruit, lemons) – Vitamin C + flavonoids for immune and connective tissue support

Whether you’re in need of a few unique stocking stuffers or you’re gift-hunting for the person who already has everything, here is a list of our favorite health-enhancing items from 2025!! (Links in discounts highlight) 🔗

The Conscious Bar: Dessert without inflammatory additives, formulated to deliver antioxidant-rich cacao without triggering blood-sugar spikes.

Tatcha The Serum Stick: This magic stick instantly hydrates while filling in fine lines better than most products on the market. The best part? No chemicals or trash ingredients + immediate glow!

Testogain: In addition to optimizing diet and overall health, we’ve found Testogain’s ability to support endogenous testosterone production is second to none. (Targets luteinizing hormone signaling and adrenal balance!!)

Cellev8 Prime Chews: Recovery chews that combine cellular hydration, amino acids, and mitochondrial support in a form that actually gets used, making post-training recovery effortless. Also fantastic for minor aches and pains— even gut pain!!

Stemregen Sport: Pricey, but incredible. Clinically shown to increase circulating stem cells, supporting tissue repair and recovery at the cellular level.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!!

December produce hits different when you look at it through a performance lens.
Plain and simple, winter crops are built to fuel harder training.

Citrus = supports collagen repair.

Winter Squash = Low-glycemic carbs with carotenoids that support mitochondrial membrane stability. Great for steady energy without the post-meal crash.

Beets = upgrade oxygen efficiency.

Brussels sprouts = turn on cellular cleanup pathways your mitochondria depend on.

Pomegranates = improve blood flow at the micro-circulation level. AKA better PUMPS! (lol)

Pears = feed the gut microbes that drive metabolic flexibility.

Sweet Potatoes = Electrolyte-rich (potassium + magnesium) and packed with slow-burning carbs.

Kale + Collards = Vitamin K + calcium + phytonutrients that support bone turnover and anti-inflammatory pathways. Extremely important during high-intensity blocks.

Cranberries = help regulate blood sugar and support urinary tract defenses—huge for athletes who travel, dehydrate easily, or push long training days.

Mushrooms = Contain beta-glucans that enhance immune resilience.

If you’re training through the winter, this is the lineup that keeps energy steady, recovery efficient, and inflammation in check.

If you're prepping for your run or lifting session but are fearful of eating something that will send you to the toilet mid run or leave you crop-dusting your gym buddies... this post is for you!

❌The solution is usually not to avoiding eating all together but rather ✅ find the types of carbohydrates that are well-tolerated for you.

The problem is that a category of carbs called FODMAPs, which range from fructose (found in fruit) 🍎 and lactose (milk) 🥛 to sugar alcohols (think low-carb protein bars), can be poorly absorbed for some peeps and often trigger symptoms like gas, bloating, and diarrhea. THE WORST! 💩

This is the LAST thing you want to be dealing with before or during a workout/run, and many people who struggle with this really struggle to navigate eating when these triggers are SO potent. 😭😫

While each person is different and may need to experiment with the different options listed above, these high-carb options, or at least a variety of them, are typically better tolerated for athletes with sensitive stomachs. 🤗

Instead of walking into your session fuel-free and bonking mid-workout, 🫠 try these to keep your brain and muscles fueled for your workout! 🏋🏼‍♀️

If you feel like you've tried it all and still find yourself struggling to find the right foods to properly fuel your training, apply to our 1:1 Nutrition Coaching (linked up in our bio)! 👆🏻

❇️ Progesterone is a hormone that balances the effects of estrogen for women and without healthy levels of this hormone, it's likely you will feel like junk... 😩

Let's explain a little further:

👇🏻 Low progesterone levels in female athletes can lead to a host of unwanted symptoms that impact day-to-day performance and recovery AND most importantly overall health!

❗️Low progesterone is very common in female athletes due to the tendency to under consume carbs, fat, and overall calories for the amount of intensity of training that is being done.

❕The end product of this is that the brain and body because stressed from the lack of resources and the results is lack of ovulation, which is the time of the month where an egg is released from the o***y.

❗️Lack of ovulation leads to.... you guessed it... LOW P! Because ovulating is how your body produces sufficient levels of progesterone.

Many women that are active feel relieved when their monthly flow disappears, but the long term negative impact of this cannot be overstated. IT'S NOT SOMETHING TO BE PRAISED! ❌

Swipe for tips on how to improve progesterone levels for improved performance and overall health!

Getting the right pre-workout fuel can make or break your training session/practice and your recovery.

We often get the question, "What should I eat before a workout?" and ultimately, carbohydrates are the goal.

But...depending on how much time you have before you start will determine what other food components can be included with those carbohydrates! 🍌

🕑 If you only have 30 minutes or so before you train, the goal is quick, easy-to-digest carbohydrates and minimal fat and protein, as these foods will take longer to digest and not provide immediate fuel in the way carbohydrates will.

🕑 If you have more than an hour and up to 2-3 before you train, carbs are still the goal, but a moderate and low amount of fat can be included to provide sufficient fuel. More time = more time to digest fats and proteins. 🐔

🕑 If you have 3 hours or more, a full meal is likely to be well-tolerated (and recommended) to sustain hunger and energy levels until training starts. 🔥

Ultimately, these are just suggestions. People always have different rates of digestion and will feel more or less sensitive to certain foods in the stomach prior to training, so experiment to see what feels best for you!

What are prebiotics?! Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that promote the growth and activity of beneficial gut bacteria (aka probiotics)!

Foods that contain prebiotics include (but are not limited to):
-Garlic
-Onions
-Leeks
-Asparagus
-Bananas
-Whole grains
-Skin of carrots
-Artichoke

We need prebiotics to support a healthy gut for the LONG TERM. A supplement can help in the short term, but eating a diet that contains lots of different prebiotics will provide the above benefits!

Many people are focused on probiotics but lack prebiotics in their diet. Is this you?!

If you need more guidance and support in improving your gut microbiome, consider applying to working with us 1:1 for personalized testing and protocols! The results? Expect to rid yourself of bloating, smelly farts, fatigue, and more!

🔃 Replacing conventional beauty and household products with ones that contain less fragrance, parabens, and plastics can be a game-changer for hormonal balance! 🙌🏻🥳

‼️Here are some key reasons why non-toxic products are important for maintaining hormonal health:

1. Avoiding Endocrine Disruptors 👍🏻

1️⃣Parabens: Commonly used as preservatives in cosmetics, parabens can mimic estrogen in the body, which has been shown to drive unfavorable period symptoms due to estrogen dominance and even related to some cancers such as breast cancer.

2️⃣Phthalates: Often found in fragrances, 💄phthalates are known to interfere with the production and regulation of hormones, affecting reproductive health and development. NOT FUN!

2. Supporting Reproductive Health

🤰🏼Fertility: Some chemicals in conventional beauty products have been linked to reduced fertility and negative impacts on reproductive health in both men and women. This could be difference between getting pregnant naturally or having to take ana alternative route!

4. Maintaining Skin Health and Function
🧴Skin Absorption: The skin is highly permeable, and many ingredients in beauty products are absorbed into the bloodstream. Using non-toxic products helps limit these exposures and limit the overall toxic burden in the body.

🔥 Inflammation: Some toxic ingredients can cause skin irritation and inflammation, which can affect hormone levels indirectly by stressing the body’s systems and contributing to chronic inflammation!

✨Improving hormonal health by avoiding many of the endocrine disruptors found in home and personal care products is huge.

It may not mean throwing away or replacing every single product you use, but just limiting exposure by making swaps where you can! 🙌🏻

Your body will thank you later!
