Yoga Expo

by | Jan 25, 2024 |

Had a great time at the yoga expo in Pasadena this past Saturday! Thanks to my friend J1 for inviting me. Learned a lot of new knowledge and met a lot of awesome people for future collaborations. Attended Dr. Zimmerman’s foam rolling class, a healing sound bath with aromatherapy session, and a class about skin and gut health. Found some skincare products that are microbiome-friendly. Also, learned that we actually absorb Mg better through the skin vs orally. Visited Suja juice booth and tried their pineapple ginger lemon juice, very, delicious! I also learned about a new melodious instrument that I would love to learn.

Motivation Monday

by | Jan 22, 2024 | ,

Productivity isn’t just about doing more; it’s about doing what truly matters. In nutrition and fitness, saying NO to the myriad of tempting but less impactful choices, and saying a resounding YES to the few, transformative opportunities that will redefine your wellness journey can be the BEST choice you’ll have!
This can be more achieved by having a personalized nutrition coach by your side, guiding you through the maze of information, tailoring strategies to your unique needs, and helping you make informed decisions that align with your health goals.

Happy Fitness Friday!!

Knowledge vs Reality

by | Jan 7, 2024 | ,

Most people have the head knowledge of WHAT a healthy meal should look like but did not know HOW to make it a reality, and doing it consistently.

Weight Management and Health Optimization

by | Jan 7, 2024 | ,

When some of my clients got discouraged when they go on their health journey, I always remind them that we measure our success by looking backward. Remember where you were at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year ago, then you realized that you did make some good progress. While you might have specific goals in mind, it’s essential to recognize the progress you’ve already made. Weight management or health optimization is not a destination but a journey. Each mindful choice is a step toward A Healthier You.
