Your Journey Begins

Of all the tools and resources we hope to avail to you - we encourage you to make your food choices the foundational piece to everything else. It has perhaps the greatest impact (if chosen in isolation) over exercise, sleep, and community engagement. It is also the one critical piece that affords better outcomes associated with exercise, improved sleep, and brain health. Having said that, we do emphasize all 4 pillars of a healthy lifestyle - we just realize the temptation that exercise can afford you to eat unhealthily. As an isolated activity supported by poor nutrition, you will likely not realize the weight loss, disease reversal, and recovery you may well seek.  Better sleep and memory are also deeply tied to what we eat. So raise a glass to all things green and good!
