The Importance of Gut Health When it comes to overall well-being, gut health plays a crucial role that often goes underestimated. The gut, often referred to as the “second brain,” is home to trillions of bacteria that influence various aspects of our health, including digestion, immunity, and even weight management. Maintaining a healthy gut is […]

The Importance of Nutrition in Weight Management Nutrition plays a pivotal role in successful weight management. It is not just about the quantity of food you consume, but also the quality of the nutrients that you provide to your body.

One of the more difficult parts of starting and maintaining an exercise regimen is getting a workout in when you’re traveling. Whether it’s a business trip, family vacation or road trip with your friends, you may need some help with finding a place to get that workout in. While most hotels have a gym, the equipment and quality is usually far less than ideal. To ensure you get a workout in while you’re on the road, there is how to find a gym while traveling.

Are you spending hours on the elliptical or other cardio machine and not seeing results you want? New research is showing that adding resistance training is a key factor in weight loss success.

By adding resistance training through body weight exercises like pilates, yoga, barre or “boot camp” programs, you give your body the chance to build muscle and add another layer of fat-burning tissue while you’re at rest.

If you’re eating a low-carb diet as part of your weight loss program, breakfast time can start to get a little boring after a while. So many foods enjoyed during the first meal of the day are awfully high in carbohydrates – oatmeal, muffins, toast, cereal, waffles, pancakes – and the list goes on and on!
I’ve tried a lot of different ways to make breakfast interesting, but there are only so many ways you can make eggs or an omelet, and even Greek yogurt and fruit gets a bit boring after a while. One Saturday morning, I woke up and just had to have something different for breakfast, something that really would satisfy a craving – and then I made pancakes.

During the first year of my wellness plan, there were definitely some “hard times” during certain months on my calendar. I started dieting in January of 2013, so I did not have to immediately deal with the “food angst” so many of us feel around the holidays of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I had more than nine months to get into a rhythm before I had to tackle the holidays.

Actually, the first real challenge I faced with my new wellness plan came as late spring heralded the coming summer months.

For many of us, obesity has had a major impact on our lives for years at a time, and in some cases, decades. Being obese has affected on our health, our relationships, our careers, and even our lifestyles. Because of this, it’s easy to let our attention focus on the physical aspects of our wellness and neglect the other significant component: the mental and emotional aspects of obesity.

Our outlook on life has a huge impact on how we approach everything we do. When we look at life with a brighter perspective, this can in turn reflect on how we look at ourselves.

An important piece of advice I always tell my patients is that if you do not believe in yourself and your ability to succeed in weight loss (or anything else in life), you will most likely never reach your goals.

One of the first things we hear when dieting is an enormous amount of shoulds from family, friends and even complete strangers.

You should use this new diet I read about…

You really should try eating this…

You know, you should start thinking about joining a gym…
