Do you want sugar with that?

Aug 26

As I’m getting together my first meal of the day, I’m adding more and more bitter condiments. Not because of nutrition knowledge but just because, I’m a little more predisposed towards sour and spice. Bitter foods tick the box towards living long, free & vibrant lives! Could it be that gene variants in younger people are trending towards distinguishing bitterness in foods and modelling their eating around sweeter tastes. A study “Bitter Taste Receptor Polymorphism & Human Ageing, 2013” on Calabrians’ (Southern Italians) noted that, older people in this region were less likely to have the gene variant for detecting bitterness. Perhaps we are changing the future population by sweetening our coffees?

Pretty much every single study that espouses the benefits of coffee does refer to black coffee. No heavy cream or traditional sugars. So keep this in mind when your to order your third cappuccino.

My contribution is a union of nutrition, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork & movement intertwined with behaviour change and how it impacts a life worth living.

As a health and fitness professional, I want to shift the paradigm toward one of self-love and self-care instead of an aesthetic insecurity-based industry. Let’s move away from the trail of being overweight, body shape dissatisfaction, the daily dose of pharmaceutical and social drugs, persistent envy, unhappiness, anxiety, depression, and a life full of pressure to keep up, skip steps, and rush.

Living without awareness and intention creates pressures that we are not doing, we are not moving fast enough, as bosses, workers, weekend warriors, friends, lovers, parents, siblings, or grandparents. We have to be able and willing to step outside the pull of unhealthy and unhealthful cultural norms and make the critical space to do our meaningful thinking.

The first thing I need people to take in is if they are going to work with me or read my work because for me this re-frames the core of moving through all obstacles we have around stress, rush, health, weight, etc … The very blantant truth is that living under the guise of society’s expectations - is not living.

We have been fed a narrative that stepping outside or away from norms is the wrong way to exist and this narrative furthers unhappiness, unhealthiness, pressure, and a life that is too fast to enjoy.

Wherever we are, this is life—it’s happening right now, and I’ve decided that I am not going to rush through it and I invite you to join me today …
