If you are reading this blog post, you have probably also read 100s of other health/fitness blog posts. Why have I chosen to add to the clutter of all the other blogs out there? Over the course of the last several years, I've come to realize my true passion in life is wellness. Not just the state of being well, but the science of it, the pursuit of it, watching and learning from other people's experiences and how they lead a life full of health and vitality.
I am a certified holistic health coach. While going through the education I needed to become certified, I learned that there is so much information (both scientific and opinionated) available to people, it's enough to make your head explode: dietary theories, nutritional supplements, detox plans, fitness "do"s and "don't"s...the list goes on and on. Life is hard enough; shouldn't eating and being fit be simple? I would say that answer should be yes - simple, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is easy. Even for someone who is trained in this field, like me, it can be a constant challenge. That is why I am writing this blog, and why I believe that wellness is a persistent journey. Wellness isn't a quick fix - it is a way of life. I want to share my trials and tribulations on my journey. I'll share some facts, some opinions, some recipes and some stories along the way. I hope you enjoy it.
