What Happens When You Stop Drinking Alcohol?

I can speak from experience when I say, quitting, or at least slowing down on alcohol consumption can be extremely difficult. This article isn’t here to change or judge you in anyway. It is simply here to present facts that I’ve personally experienced when I stopped drinking alcohol as well as share nutritional knowledge that I’ve gained throughout years of wellness studies. The truth is, alcohol has become a part of our society. For a lot of us, it is how we unwind and relax

Do You Need a Diet Break?

Unless you simply don't give a crap about your body and overall health, it's more than likely that you've done a "diet" at some point in your life. For many, we diet TOO MUCH. Hopping from fad diet to fade diet, trying every fat loss pill and weight loss scheme known to man while constantly shredding calories. And for the majority, most never achieve the long term results they were hoping for and if they do achieve some brink of success, it's for a short time before they suff

Cheat Meals on Weekends

Great Morning, What is your normal routine most weekends? Sleep in, mow the lawn, binge watch some shows, meet up with friends and have a few drinks? We are in a constant race towards Friday, the pinnacle point when we get to release our stresses over the last 5 days of work. Enjoying just two days of "relaxation" before starting all over again. Understandably so, most individuals will go on believing that the weekends are meant for fun activities and simply because they had

The point of this discussion today is to write about overnight successes and the automatic "box's" or categories we put people in.

What Nobody Tells You About Weight Loss!

The first step in everyone's weight loss journey should always consist of sitting down in a quiet space and getting really REAL with yourself. It isn't sexy to talk about life choices and writing down your calories for the day but real coaches insist on this. Achieving a long-lasting healthy lifestyle is more than just workout routines and diet tips. It is also about managing stressful situations, overcoming previous habits and having a complete change in our mindsets. Repeat

Our Addictions & Sabotaging Our Goals

It is of no secret to anybody that the majority of our culture in North America is fascinated and borderline obsessed with flashiness. Everyday, we dive into our social media accounts checking our newest subscribers, followers, likes, etc. without ever being aware of the addiction that is taking over so many of us-the need for attention and to appear superior over everyone else (aka pride and ego). This generation is addicted with producing "flashy content", in the fitness in

From Bodybuilding to Crossfit

Great day everyone! Well, Hurricane Irma has come and gone and left a path of destruction behind. Through God's grace, we never lost power during the storm which is a miracle blessing all by itself! We luckily didn't suffer too much house damage other than a few damages to our front porch that can easily be fixed. We had a few tree branches fall over that got cut up within a few hours. So all in all, the Rodriguez family made it through alright. If anyone is in need of help r
