Paleo Nutrition Seminars, CrossFit Nutrition, and the Original Whole30 Program
A Whole9 guest post by Kate Galliett, creator of Fit for Real Life and The Unbreakable Body, an online strength and mobility program “I got up at 4:30 this morning to get my training in.” “Big week! I’m training 20 hours!” “My knee usually only aches for the first 15 minutes or so, then it goes away.” How do you perceive these statements? Are they a sign of a committed individual? Are they statements only a professional athlete being paid to put their body on the line would … [Read more...]
Through many shared meals and motorcycle rides, Carl Richards and I have discovered that we see the world in a pretty similar way. Carl talks to people about improving the quality of their lives by having a solid financial plan, and I talk about building a simple, sustainable plan for healthy, happy living. One of the 9 Factors that I speak about is Stress Management, so having a simple plan to alleviate some financial stress is a part of living a healthy, balanced life. Carl's method appeals to … [Read more...]
A Whole9 guest post by Dr Sult, medical doctor, medical educator, inspirational speaker & the author of Just Be Well: A Book For Seekers of Vibrant Health. How to Make Stress Work for You Have you ever had a project to do with plenty of time to get it done, yet you just couldn't bring yourself to get around to doing it? Until, of course, the deadline was upon you. Though you may have broken into a sweat of anxiety, you finally buckled down and focused, and knocked the project out of the … [Read more...]
A Whole9 guest post by Mary Beth LaRue, who is a lover of avocados, homemade chai tea, hip hop and her lovable English bulldog, Rosy. The transition from writing for the local newspaper, slinging drinks and riding my bike absolutely everywhere to sitting behind a desk nine hours a day was a tough one. I'd just graduated college and was headed to Washington DC to work for a prestigious travel magazine. I started to suffer from some major slumpage, pains in my low back and shoulders and … [Read more...]
A Whole9 guest post from Mary Beth LaRue, yoga teacher, life coach, and the co-founder of Rock Your Bliss. The first yoga class I ever attended was in my college town in Iowa. Somehow I happened on something called "classical yoga" where most donned a long white robe and spent the class singing in a language I did not recognize. There were no downward facing dogs for this eager eighteen year old. Needless to say I didn't find "my yoga" that day. I eventually happened upon a studio in … [Read more...]
Note from Dallas Hartwig, co-founder of Whole9: You probably know we don't promote these kinds of online "summits" very often. However, we feel this area is really under-addressed in our community, and based on my own functional medicine practice and the Institute for Functional Medicine's advanced practice training that I'm participating in, I feel the information included in this free summit will be invaluable for those pursuing a Whole9 Life. A lot of people write off "detox" as woo-woo … [Read more...]
From Whole9 South Pacific's Jamie Scott and Dr. Anastasia Boulais. For more of their articles, visit the Whole9 South Pacific blog. Blue Screen of Death, Anyone? Just like your computer, phone, and nearly every other gadget in your life, you come with a factory setting: the way you are programmed to operate and all the software this requires. Let’s say that your basic factory-set operation requires you to eat only certain foods; move relatively frequently—at times fast, and at other times, … [Read more...]
A guest post from Kate Galliet, founder of Fit For Real Life and owner of ProKine Performance in St. Charles, IL I was talking with my newly-retired mom when she mentioned she was tired and feeling like she wasn’t getting a break. My ears perked up immediately because I’d heard her say those same things when she was working full-time—but I didn’t expect to hear them again once she retired. What was keeping her time from being her own? So I asked her. She explained her daily schedule to me … [Read more...]
Information overload—you’ve all been there, right? You're trying to make a positive change to your diet, exercise plan, investment strategy, parenting style, so you start digging in and doing some research. And boy, do you research. And research. And research. You’ve got 72 browser tabs open, three books in various states of dog-ear, and six friends on speed-dial giving you advice. Want an instant example? Try Googling, "best diet for weight loss." Or "how to get a six-pack." Or our personal … [Read more...]
Today's health and fitness-related post was inspired by a real-world example of why keeping things simple should always be your first approach. Our friend Kristyn had registered for an online workshop we were hosting via video conference. An hour before the event, she realized that her wireless connection at home wasn't working. She called the support hotline, who proceeded to run her through a whole host of complicated diagnostic tests, queries and fixes—none of which worked. Finally, the … [Read more...]
