There is no expiry date on improving your metabolism!
There is no expiry date on improving your metabolism!
The understanding of exercise science is always advancing and I am elated to pass on to you some 'hot off the press' research. You may have heard the ever popular theory that metabolism inevitably slows down with age and particularly with women in menopausal years. New science has debunked this myth! It’s very inspiring to know that, if it is your goal to improve your metabolism and change your body shape, there is no expiry date! This recent paper published in Science studied over 6,500 peop

Maple Oat Baked Apples
Maple Oat Baked Apples
Baked Apples are a warm comfort food. The sweet smell that comes from the combination of cinnamon, maple syrup and apples baking evokes a calm. The scent of cinnamon can actually be a memory booster! I added oats to the centre to add a mini bite of apple crisp. This is a perfect dessert or it can be eaten for breakfast with greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for added protein. You can store the baked apples in the fridge, then enjoy them cold or warmed in the microwave/oven. The old saying an appl
Rethinking Blue Monday Article
Rethinking Blue Monday Article
Blue Monday happens the third Monday in January and is considered by some to be the most depressing day of the year because of a combination of factors – the dreariness of the winter weather, debt from the holidays, and the end of the festive season. It’s also the time when most people give up on their New Year’s resolutions because our motivation suffers from all these factors. While it’s not clear whether Blue Monday is based on science, it can be an important opportunity for reflection. Seasonal mood changes and anxiety are very real concerns.

Tips on Navtigating Your Best Health During the Holidays
We are about to enter the holiday period where our typical schedules will be placed on hold. Over the past two years, I think we have all learned how important self care is in times of heightened stress, both for ourselves and for those who count on us. Just when we thought the coast was clear, we are ending 2021 with a mixed bag of emotions. Although this time with more optimism as more vaccinations are taking place, our knowledge is more complete and we have strengthened our resilience to ha
Raspberry Protein Oats
Raspberry Protein Oats
This is my simple, quick & delicious pre or post workout breakfast. It is filled with fibre from the ground flaxseed & raspberries, and protein from the egg whites & oats. Eating adequate amounts of protein at breakfast helps to minimize cravings for snacks later in the day. Ingredients: • 1/3 cup thick/old fashioned rolled oats • 1/3 cup water • 1/3 cup egg whites (I use egg whites from a carton, this portion is two fresh egg whites) • 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed • 3/4 cup of frozen raspberries
Glow Fit Ceasar Dressing
Glow Fit Ceasar Dressing
This Caesar salad dressing gets glowing reviews from my family and friends. Dress any lettuce of your choice with this amazing dressing. I alternate between kale and romaine lettuce. High fibre gives the kale higher nutritional value than romaine.Using kefir or greek yogurt instead of the typical mayo in a Caesar dressing gives this recipe a nutritional boost. Kefir and greek yogurt naturally contain lots of probiotic cultures that strengthen the digestive tract.INGREDIENTS: • 1/4 cup plain kefi

These brownies are protein rich from the nuts and seeds so could be eaten as a pre or post workout snack. The chocolate flavour comes from the cocoa powder which is bursting with health benefi

Compound Your Workout Results
Compound Your Workout Results
Why are compound exercises so effective? Strength training leads to muscle gain. Muscle gain boosts the resting metabolic rate, therefore the more muscle mass you have the faster you will burn calories while at rest.Not only will you boost your metabolism, but sculpted muscles will also be motivating and can appear pretty early on in your strength training journey. For example, I have a client who has been consistently doing Glow Fit classes two or three times a week for two months and she has b
