As Mardi Gras, my favorite time of year in New Orleans, quickly approaches a certain MC Hammer song always rings in my ear. “Sweat running all over my chest (chest), I don’t quit no! I just press harder than I ever did before…” you know the rest. It’s funny how these simple words can easily be inspiring.

We have discussed intermittent fasting over the last couple of months and its benefits for weight loss, disease prevention, reduced stress and inflammation, etc. However, intermittent fasting is not necessary to achieve your health goals. If you are accustomed to eating breakfast in the morning, you can still follow a healthy diet to achieve these goals. Be sure to include a good source of protein, healthy fat, and some fiber.

If you are breathing you have been hurt at some point by something or someone. Maybe it was loss, maybe it was betrayal, maybe it was a dream that was dashed, a sickness that took a toll on your spirit, words that were spoken or unspoken.

As you rise in the morning, we ask you to pause before you jump up and race to your morning rituals. Pause, and hear the sound of your beating heart. Breathe in and out. Honoring your life. It is a very simple reflection, but this was the spark that fueled the development of Grace Pilates + Yoga. It is the founding ideal of our studio.

Over the last couple of months we have discussed the benefits of intermittent fasting. The cornerstone of this “diet” is blood sugar control, and one of the greatest benefits of blood sugar control is reduced inflammation in the body. It’s easy to spot external inflammation, such as redness of the skin when injured. We don’t realize this can go on inside our bodies. Inflammation is a major contributor to exacerbated symptoms of many chronic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, dermatological skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema.

You know the feeling: you bounce from one task to the next like a pinball, the obligations of your life bossing you around so hard that you don’t ever take a moment to press pause, to ask yourself: what exactly is it that i want?

I think it’s human nature to fall off the path. I teach all of the time about the tools of direction and protection that I’ve learned through the practices of yoga. Moving the body to move the energy of the body, pranayama, meditation, prayer but I find myself easily drawn away from those practices when I need them most.

When people approach me about grief, what they usually want me to do is to help them “get over it.” This request makes sense to me, given our society’s approach to everything; where being “stoic” in the midst of struggle is seen as “strong” and “struggling” with your struggle is viewed as weak. Unfortunately, “getting over it,” isn’t possible. I have had to look into a lot of disappointed eyes when I explain this to people. There is no, “getting over it.” I personally have never, “gotten over it” and I have never met one single person who claims that they have, “gotten over it.” But if you happen to be reading this, and were hoping for a plan to help you get over your own grief, don’t worry – I do have an alternative to offer you.

We are constantly bombarded with new information about nutrition and the latest diet trends. It’s difficult for many to decipher what we should or shouldn’t be doing with so much conflicting information. I’m going to break down some of the most common nutrition myths:

Jessica Chin was one of the first people I have worked with since deciding to go back to work in nutrition counseling. Her enthusiasm, eagerness, and motivation, reminded me of why I love what I do, because of people just like Jessica.

If you are old enough you have tried this same routine year after year, failing over and over again. Will we ever stop chasing this hunt for an effective quick fix?
