My coach and my twin sis… both an IRONMAN

Balanced nutrition PRO TIP: always request salad dressing “on the side” when dining out.

Can salads be a healthy order to place when eating out? YES and NO

Typically, restaurants will absolutely drown an otherwise healthy, balanced salad with dressing. Dressing immediately increases fat, carbs (sugar) and over all calories.

Manage it on your own. Usually, when a salad is balanced and has lots of fresh ingredients, it really doesn’t need but 2-3 tablespoons of dressing. If you tend to use a lot on your own, focus on adding textures and flavors via whole foods!

Ever asked for dressing on the side before? Comment and let me know!

Sunshine/Sleep

I think we all know at this point how important sleep is right?

You might even already be doing all the nighttime things “right” to improve sleep

Avoiding screen time, cold bedroom, no food a couple hours before, etc…

One thing you might be missing is the aspect of sun in the A.M.

You may be familiar with circadian rhythm and how blue light spectrum can negatively effect your melatonin production and sleep.

The other end of balancing that circadian rhythm is getting sunlight in the A.M.

A lot of people don’t get sunlight in the A.M. and if they do, they have sunglasses on and are fully clothed so you’re really not getting much actual exposure to the A.M. sun rays.

Start w/ 5 minutes in the morning of sunlight with no shades and as much skin exposure as possible.

This could be via a walk, sitting outside for quite time, taking a phone call or whatever.

I hope this brightens up your day (no pun intended) and gives you some energy for those morning meetings!

I recently spoke about common nutrition pitfalls (and creating healthier habits around those) with our Nutrition Challenge participants.

No matter what habits you’ve formed over the years, healthier, more self-aware habits can begin to replace those!

Nutrition Coaching is key to providing the education, tools, healthy habits and accountability to be the healthiest you for the long run!

There are millions of different diets out there. I think we all can agree on one thing. 👇🏽⁠⁠
