Let’s talk about sleep - and why it matters so much when we’re talking about health, wellness, and fitness. What does sleep have to do with nutrition anyway?

There are two main kinds of activity: sympathetic (i.e., “fight or flight”) and parasympathetic (i.e., “rest and digest”). Some amount of stress - and sympathetic activity - is good for us. But too much stress over the long run causes a lot of negative effects.

We always talk about how progress is about more than just the number on the scale. But what does that look like in real life?

For most people, when consumed and enjoyed in moderation, alcohol can absolutely fit into a healthy lifestyle. That said, if you decide to consume alcohol, here are some things to keep in mind.

Along with eating real, whole foods (like we always preach!), hydration plays a very important role in maintaining our physical well-being. When we are properly hydrated, we feel more energized, improve our immune system, and feel fuller throughout the day.

Rest and recovery are incredibly important to our overall health and wellness. When we don’t get proper sleep, especially over an extended period of time, it can have a severe impact on other aspects of our health and wellness.
