We all have aspects of our life we want to change from our appearance, financial situation, relationships and many more. Sometimes we even create a plan to make the change that goes well for a while but fizzles out. When this happens, we chalk it up to “it just isn’t for me” or some other […]
Are you the type of person who enjoys their food or just eats to eat? Now I know for some, this might seem like a no brainer because obviously, we wouldn’t eat something unless it was enjoyable. But with the rise of so many new diets within diet culture, people are eating certain meals to […]
We talk about self-care and mental health like they are curable diseases sometimes. We tell ourselves that taking a self-care weekend or a week or two away will recharge us enough to go back to reality. These trips or activities usually do what we want. But instead of making changes or trying to deep dive […]
It’s been a while since a post like this has come on the blog. But it’s important to reiterate this notion. The notion that this journey is yours many people will not understand. Some may even be negative toward it or try to lead you astray. Don’t give in because that means straying away from […]
When I talk about intermittent fasting, people think it’s detrimental for gaining muscle or weight, for that matter. I even get sent studies proving we need to eat before a workout to have fuel, along with many other notions. Yet, I have spent the last two years running through rigorous bulk, cutting, isolation, upper/lower and […]
Recently my favourite daily podcast touched on identity or at least the perception we have of ourself. Furthermore, what other people think of us. A topic that for some brings anxiety and for others just a minor nuisance. Thus it was necessary to express my opinion here. In the previous post about confidence topics like […]
One subject that is particularly interesting to me as of late is sleep, not just how many hours but also what counts as quality sleep. I know many people claim to have a bedtime but end up tossing and turning for half of that. Furthermore, exploring the truth behind a few myths like adapting to […]
Over the past few weeks, a lot of new research talks about calories and macronutrients tracking. A notion I have a love-hate relationship with even though it works wonders when done right. Yet it can be harmful when done wrong. Therefore, right off the bat as a nutritionist and trainer, I say tracking overall caloric […]
I know this post was supposed to come a few weeks ago, but the launch of the Fend For Your Health podcast took a lot more time. However, that’s no excuse, let’s get right into the final post of the series. Throughout the series, each post focused on defining label culture through in-group out-group bias. […]
It is sad to say that we live our daily lives on autopilot, but that’s the truth. We follow the same routine day after day entangled with our goals, dreams and complaints. Sometimes slight deviations occur and throw us off, yet the next morning comes bringing us back on schedule. So how do we move […]
The world is at a reset, and this is a good time for us to join in on this shift. As the greener flourishes, air purifies, and animals start coming back we are being shown that the old path is over. Many of you may see this as a terrible time, no partying, social interaction, […]
Working out can change our lives in many ways, I can tell you this from first-hand experience, but there is a lot to be done during the process. Many of you might be wondering what I mean because it seems so straight forward, results come from healthy eating and exercising a few times a week. […]
Its been quite some time since my last post and apart of me wants to apologize for neglecting writing content for this space. Yet, there is another part of me that knows the time away has helped me make huge breakthroughs in personal growth as well as the journey we call life. During my hiatus, […]
Christmas season is an amazing time of the year family comes to visit, good food, time off work, presents and other festive things. During this time, it is hard to stick to workout schedules and healthy eating plans, because of all the other obligations, that arise. Not to mention the gym is closed so the […]
Last week we spoke about the ability to stay positive and steer clear of social competition. This post will expand on these notions further because they are crucial to turning our lives around for the better. Business In our business life, there are always new goals and challenges that arise every day. With each new […]
I want to tell you about a skill I’ve been trying to master, one that can change the outcome of any situation in a matter of minutes. Once you are open to it, that is. The ability to produce positive thoughts, and experience the world through your lens, rather than everyone else’s. Simply put, living […]
Throughout my fitness journey, I have had various injuries and aches. Shoulder, knee, lower back, ankles and even chest, because of poor form or pushing myself too hard. A lot of people recommend resistance bands for rehab, while others have said rest and ice down after every session. All good advice, but for me, the […]
In business and life, we come face to face with short and long term choices. Pleasure at the moment or later in life, seldom do we get both. At least that’s how the saying goes; nothing comes without sacrifice. However, the real question is what are we sacrificing, approval, growth, social life, friends, family or […]
Recently I completed the plant-based nutrition certification to gain the knowledge I need to help others live a healthier life. My friends and family immediately asked me. How will I be able to manage this as well as the digital marketing firm? The response, I am passionate about them both, therefore I will make it […]
Amber Alert!!! A new DIET trend is sweeping the world, intermittent fasting. Late to this new trend, do not worry, your friend is down 20 pounds, do not worry, you are on the way. I say these three things because Intermittent fasting (IF), is not a diet plan or a magical life cure. Even when […]
We make daily, weekly, and monthly goals to help us move forward, toward something grander. Most of the time this is something we could not complete in a short period, or at all, without proper planning. Other times it is something simple, but motivation is very low. The simple ones are broken down into smaller […]

I have heard a lot of people talking about their highs and lows lately. They mention that when their work-life is going well other parts of their life is not. A notion I struggled with a lot a few years back and even presently sometimes. Why This high and low occurs when we invest too […]

One of the top ten recommended supplements, for fitness enthusiasts and couch potatoes alike. Have you seen scientific research behind this recommendation?

There is good in everything we do, even when we do not think so. Story The other day I made a transaction mistake and needed to receive a refund. A small error, easily fixed by a few clicks on a trackpad. However, it is not that simple in The Bahamas. The banking system here runs […]
There are days when nothing goes our way, no more coffee in the house, phone screen cracks, and the world seems to be out to get us. Instead of taking a moment to sit with this, we decide to carry on with the day and point this energy at everyone like a gun. Perhaps this […]
Recently I have been thinking a lot about dietary labels and the negative/positive connotations set for them. As someone who believes labels are overrated, it is amazing and sad to see the stories people have created in their mind based on other diets. Without taking the time to fully understand someone’s choices or health goals, […]
