It’s easy to get confused when it comes to health and nutrition. Even qualified experts often seem to hold opposing opinions, making it difficult to figure out what you should actually be doing to optimize your health.
Sometimes it can feel like maintaining a healthy lifestyle is an overwhelming challenge that doesn’t fit within the realities of daily life. It’s tough to hold down a full-time job, eat well, train for a marathon, make homemade green juice, spend quality time with your loved ones, and meditate for an hour each day. Only healthy living can incorporate all of these things if you want it to, and it doesn’t have to be defined by grandiose displays of health and fitness. In this episode, I share some health tips that I personally follow and give to my clients and other people to optimize health.
