January 21st, 2021 Eat like an adult. This was one of the best pieces of advice I have received when it comes to nutrition. It is understood that food companies make super palatable food for children. Salt and sweet. What kid(or adult) doesn’t like that? Problem is, the nutritional content goes down.

Not being in a good place, or better yet, not where you want to be is what drives us to goalsContinue reading “You can’t pour from an empty cup.”
