As more and more people talk about buying early Christmas presents. I hope you consider local. We have friends, neighbors, family members and people in our own communities doing everything they can to feed their families and put food on the table. I hope you consider them before buying at the cheapest item you can find at the closest box store. Knowing full well those products are produced in a land far away made by people you’ll never meet, filing they pockets of people that will never know your name. Consider all the time and effort it takes to run a business and make sure customers are happy. Consider that the price may be a little more but you’re supporting customer service, you’re supporting better quality, a stronger local economy, you’re putting a smile on someone’s face whom you share schools with and grocery stores. How amazing would it be if everyone committed to supporting local this year. What if every single one of us bought every single gift within their own community. Even

This is a tough one to write about. When you run a public business sometimes it's hard to figure out what to keep personal and what to share with the world. I've always felt it's important to lead by example. Given that we teach health and wellness I feel like my health and wellness should always be optimal. I've had people say, 'what do you mean you can't do that, you're the fittest person I know?' Which makes me feel like people expect perfection but that could only be my perspective. Over 2 years ago I was in a MVA, hit from behind (and the side) not going very fast at all. Since then my back has been giving me issues. I was going to physio and chiro and was at a point only 6 months ago where the pain and discomfort was almost completely gone. This April, shortly after I came back from LA, I got a pinched nerve in my lower back which literally had me on my back for 3 or 4 days. I could hardly stand up let alone walk. Some of you may remember when thankfully Dorothy filled in for live workout

Censorship is a special word especially at this time in the world. Personally I feel like our countries have been built on freedom of speech and being able to say what you think is right. Unfortunately, that right seems to be more and more in danger. However in this podcast I'm going to argue that in this situation censorship is a good thing. Here's my main point, is that because of big media like google, Youtube, Facebook, IG, etc. no longer allow you to say what you want. They reduce the algorithms, they suspend accounts without notice, they literally take down posts and videos..... Most of us know this is happening and it's all happening if and when you say something they don't want you to say. If you go against the narrative or say something that they don't believe in or what they are paid to believe in, then you suffer the consequences. That being said, there are more and more companies popping up that believe in freedom of speech which I'm excited about. For example many people are going to telegram and

Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year. I know it's not for everyone, but the old skool horror movies crack me up. I like dressing up, and the costumes and even the candy. But not too much of it. I know this is a stressful time of year for many but we can come together to find it less stressful. I believe stress comes from mostly all the candy going around at this time of year. In this show we talk about the witch switch, along with other ideas on how to trade useful items for Candy so your kids don't have so much of it. We have other tips and tricks throughout, I hope you enjoy

Isn't it crazy that we're even talking about this? But I mean how many times have we said that to ourselves? In this clip I'm going to talk about some very difficult subjects. Most in which people shy away from. They are too hard to think about, too hard to understand, even fathom. Why could this be happening, who in their right mind would actually want this? Is this actually even possible? I'm also going to bring on some experts in their own rights to talk about their experiences, what has happened to them, how they see this all unfolding and what's happening right in front of our own eyes. All in which most turn a blind eye too. We'd prefer to think everything is fine, everything will go back to 'normal' and nothing bad will happen to any of us. This show will upset a lot of people I'm sure. But I'm not here to argue or debate. Everyone has the right to their own opinion, every one should have the right to voice the own opinion - something that the powers to be are trying very hard to t

It's back to school time which means it's time to get back on track! As a nutrition and fitness company most people think our busiest time of year is in Jan, which isn't the case. Our busiest time of year is Sept. And that's because of the long summers of BBQ, not working and eating whatever we like. No judgement here, that's just how it works. Then when the kids go back to school, regular work hours come about and everyone is looking to get back into their routines, we hear from most sharing how little they did over the summer. So it's time to get back on track and all that starts with a plan. We need to decide what is that we want, then we plan on how we're going to do that. Planning workouts is essential to getting back on track. And meal planning, along with grocery shopping, knowing what meals you're going to plan in advance is all so important. If you need some help planning workouts and meals we can certainly help with this. If you don't have a professional helping, there's

Christal grew up in a small farming community in Southern Saskatchewan. As an avid athlete with her share of injuries, she had little assistance from the medical profession available to her in her small town so decided to study Athletic Therapy at Mount Royal College. She wanted not only to understand what was wrong and how to recover but how to prevent injuries in the first place. Through college she was able to continue with her athletics; both as a competitor and as a therapist. She was a gold medalist Badminton player at MRC and she was able to be on the sidelines of many of her favorite sports (including football, hockey, baseball and volleyball) as well as sports she had little experience with (such as field hockey, basketball and judo) throughout university. https://youtu.be/P7xssx7N0cE After completing her Athletic Therapy diploma from MRC and her Kinesiology degree at the U of C, she continued to work with hockey in both the Alberta Junior Hockey League, Heritage Junior B Hockey League and

It always strikes me as odd when you see someone working out like a bodybuilder who doesn't want to be a bodybuilder. If you want to look like a bodybuilder or if you want to compete in a fitness competition, sure you workout a certain way.   But if you want to look lean and strong, you work out differently. Or if you want to increase the strength of your heart, maybe you have heart Dis-Ease in your family. They you don't stand and lift heavy weights, you do more cardio exercises. https://youtu.be/7FNqzZewVz0   More weights and less reps = more mass. Less weight and more reps equal leaner muscles. The you have body weight exercises, yoga, pilates and more!   There's all kinds of different ways to be fit, health and active. Be sure you're choosing the right way that aligns with the body type you're looking for.

Hard gainers is a real thing, and it's a real struggle. Most people don't know about hard gainers because much of the world is surrounded by people trying to lose weight. So what's a hard gainer? It's someone who has trouble keeping weight on, including muscle mass. Particularly important to men, athletes but exclusively. Men and women in all walks of life struggle with being a hard gaining, but again are downplayed by so many trying to lose weight. So when we talk about the struggles around gaining weight, most people shrug it off or don't think much of it. But it's a real problem. Calling someone 'fat' to an obese person, is no different than calling someone 'scrawny' to a skinny person. It's hurtful and can stay with people their entire lives. In this show we talk about hard gainers, what it's like to be this type of person and what you can do about it. https://youtu.be/rp1oBrfEKdk

How to Beat the Heat is something we all consider during the hot summer months...or something we all should consider. Sun burns are not just detrimental to our health in short term but in longer term as well. It always surprises me when I see people flaunting their sun burns like it's something to be proud of. What I'm most proud of is when I get through an entire summer without getting burned, now that's a real challenge! https://youtu.be/yDQ2R_i_S7U Pay attention to the time of day you're spending the most of your time outside. Consider non toxic sunscreen and even wear long sleeves when it's extremely hot outside.
