So many of our guests at our fitness retreat as well as our personal training clients say that they want to work on improving their balance. It seems to be the one thing that most people we are coaching are concerned about – and truly want to work on. If you’ve ever noticed, like I have, balance seems to get worse when you’re not actively doing an activity or training to keep your balance in check.

As a health coach and through our wellness retreats, we hear a lot of conversation about reducing inflammation and the role it plays in overall health. From anti-inflammatory diets to supplements and lifestyle changes, it's a topic that comes up frequently. But with so much information out there, it can sometimes be difficult to understand what inflammation actually is, why it matters, and what you can realistically do to support your body.
“If you get one percent better each day for one year, you'll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you're done.” — James Clear
When we decide we want to make a change, it's easy to want everything to happen at once. Whether we're working toward a health and wellness goal, building a business, making a career change, or simply trying to create a different routine, we often want to jump right in and do everything we can to get there faster.
And that makes sense. We have a goal in mind, we're motivated to make it happen, and we want to see results. But sometimes, our desire to change everything all at once can actually make it harder to move forward.
The reality is that meaningful change doesn't always require a complete overhaul of your life. Sometimes, the most valuable thing you can do is focus on getting just 1% better each day.
Movement is about so much more than physical fitness. While we often think about exercise in terms of building strength, improving endurance, or supporting our overall health, the way we move can also influence how we feel mentally and emotionally. At our wellness retreat, we like to incorporate movement in various ways to showcase how movement can be a benefit beyond the typical workout.
Here’s what I want when the weather gets cool or just on a night when I want a delicious, comforting meal - something yummy, healthy but also cheesy and delicious.
So, if you’re like me and you might like this cozy, satisfying dinner that puts a healthy spin on classic Alfredo? This Creamy Alfredo Stuffed Spaghetti Squash is filled with spinach, garlic, fresh herbs, and melty mozzarella, then topped with Parmesan for a golden, cheesy finish.
Made with simple ingredients, this oven-baked spaghetti squash recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian. It's a delicious way to enjoy the comforting flavors of Alfredo without traditional pasta, making it a great option for an easy weeknight dinner.
Let’s be honest: weekends can look very different from the rest of your week. This is a common theme that we hear both from our wellness retreat guests and our coaching clients.
Your schedule changes. You may eat out more. There are dinners, happy hours, birthday parties, travel, family activities, brunch, sleeping in, and maybe a few things you didn’t plan for. That’s normal and these things often pop up especially on weekends.
A healthy lifestyle has to work on the weekends, too.
Most wellness advice comes from people trying to sell you something expensive. A $3,000 wellness makeover, a drawer full of useless supplements, or an app charging $15 a month to play rain noises. It's exhausting. If you're genuinely burnt out, sitting on a mat breathing deeply isn't going to fix your life.
What actually works is much simpler: break your routine and go somewhere else. It doesn't have to be an international flight. Just getting out of your normal zip code forces your brain off autopilot and gives your head room to breathe.
Love pizza but looking for a low-carb option? This Pepperoni Pizza Frittata combines everything you love about pizza with protein-rich eggs, melty mozzarella, savory pepperoni, and marinara sauce.
Made with just six ingredients, this easy pizza frittata comes together in about 25 minutes. With 26 grams of protein and just 2 grams of carbs per serving, it's a delicious option for breakfast, brunch, or a quick weeknight meal.
We’re in full fall mode even down here in South Florida. Fall soups and one pot meals are on our minds. So many of our wellness retreat guests are in need of easy tools and recipes to support busy lifestyles. We’re thinking of meal prep and sticking to wellness goals all at the same time. Now that it feels like we’re back into regular routines, we’re breaking out some healthy recipes that hopefully help to make balanced eating a little easier.
This Slow Cooker Sausage & Creamy Sweet Potato Soup is cozy, creamy, and full of fall flavor. Sweet potato, savory Italian sausage, baby spinach, and Parmesan come together in a rich broth for an easy slow cooker soup that's perfect for chilly fall days.
With 20 grams of protein per serving, it's a satisfying option for an easy weeknight dinner or make-ahead lunch. And because most of the cooking happens in the slow cooker, there's very little hands-on prep.
Craving a cheesesteak but want something a little lighter and easier to make at home? This High-Protein Low-Carb Cheesesteak Skillet has all the good stuff—seasoned ground beef, sautéed mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and melty provolone cheese—without the bun.
It comes together in about 30 minutes and makes an easy, satisfying weeknight meal.
