    One Macro to rule them all

    One macro to rule them all Protein is one major macronutrient we touched on at FitFaire. Protein should account for about 25% of your total caloric intake at a minimum. This, of course, should be increased or decreased depending on your unique circumstances and needs. Nutrition is a science, after all! Why is protein so important? This macronutrient seemingly does it all: Stimulates muscle growth and repair from daily breakdown Attenuates the glycemic response in the body Increases satiety / decreases hunger and cravings Produces certain enzymes and hormones for healthy body composition Building blocks for muscle, skin, cartilage, bone, collagen, and blood Boosts ....

    You can accomplish anything with 80% effort

    You can accomplish anything with 80% effort I wanted to get a little vulnerable to hopefully inspire anyone who is struggling with their own journey to better health! I'll go to the start of this story ... The pandemic erased five years of my efforts in the blink of an eye. My small business went from a successful operation of over 200 clients and dwindled down to about 30. I was very close to shutting down for good, as I felt the hole our inept government dug us was just too damn big. I lost purpose in my life. I felt completely helpless. None of my efforts to ensure everyone's safety could stop the bleeding. I was in just a why bother frame of mind, ya know? At the time, ....

    Get out of the rat race

    Get out of the rat race Can you believe it's been four years since that virus washed up on our shores? In March we'll observe the anniversary of the four-month-long small business shutdowns across most of America. Thank goodness the virus knew not to enter Home Depot or Target! I don't need to tell you how quickly time is going. It's 2024 already and we're in our winter solstice! Fingers crossed for no salt days. :) What did you accomplish last year? Did you grow as a person? Did you try new things? Did you fail and get back up? Did you push through adversity? Did you share your gift with others? I ask as we live in a time full of distractions keeping us from ....

    How would you treat your dream car?

    Imagine you wake up tomorrow morning and your loved one tells you to walk outside. You find the car of your dreams with a big ol' bow on top. Your life is playing out like one of those cheesy car commercials they used to run. Is it a Ferrari? Maybe a Cybertruck? Or a Corvette? Doesn't matter what it is, really, but hang on to that dream machine on wheels in the back of your head for me. You're likely going to fill it up with the most premium gas money can buy. You're likely going to find a great local detailer to lay invisible protective coatings everywhere. You're likely going to buy yourself a car wash membership to keep nice and clean. You're likely going to take it to the ....

    What's wrong with a cookie or ten around the holidays?

    What's wrong with a cookie or ten around the holidays? This week you (or someone you know) will likely be rushing around in all of the incredibly unnecessary hustle and bustle to have a perfect holiday. Shopping. Decorating. Cleaning. Cooking. Baking. Boxing. Wrapping. Oh my! Today we'll specifically touch on baking all the sugar-filled goods that are for some reason synonymous with the holiday spirit. You probably don't think of it this way, but all of the extra time, energy, and money spent on these delicious treats are actually doing more harm than good. If you don't know, added sugar is one of the most addictive substances that is terrible for your health. Greedy corporations ....

  • Got an extra hour now?

    Does anyone know why we're still messing around with our clocks as if it's helping any farmers out there? It's been 2023 for a minute and we're mighty close to 2024 if my calendar is correct. Do something already, government.Wishful thinking, I know. While we're on the topic of time, I hope you're taking this extra hour today and every day to give back to yourself. Not your boss. Not your kids. Not your spouse. Not your grandkids. Not your twice-removed cousin. Just you ! Time is the excuse I see people use most often to justify their sedentary lifestyle. They simply don't have time to give back to the body that tries oh so very hard to keep them alive. In exchange ....

  • There is no tomorrow

    Life is short, man. Doesn't matter if you get 100 years or you get 30. To put it in perspective, there are approximately 109 billion dead people while there are only 8 billion living today. Our community lost a wonderful soul last week. She happened to be a fellow entrepreneur, former client, and an old friend. I enjoyed connecting with her, as you rarely meet ambitious twenty-somethings who start their own business. That infectious smile and positive vibes radiated into everyone fortunate enough to meet her. Her commitment to helping others in need and genuine gratitude in life was absolutely inspiring. I thought to myself: Most of us, including myself at times, live like ....

  • What year is it?

    Back when I was in school, I dreaded the annual health screening program. All kids K-12 were forced to get measurements taken on weight and height, get their hearing and vision checked, and other embarrassing stuff many block out from their memory bank. Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of those calculations made after it's all over using a height/weight equation. Apparently kids learn how healthy they are while completely neglecting water, muscle, bone, and fat mass. The Pennsylvania Growth Screen Program is in full swing with no improvements in sight. Kids are still weighed like cattle and the state is still using an obsolete standard created by a 19th century astronomer. No, ....
