My Fitness Supplements Recommendation

My Favorite Supplements

I have heard good, bad, Safe, unsafe, junk and clean but there are so many supplements out there which one is the one for you? Honestly, I have no idea, but I have tried, tasted and trashed lots of supplements in the last few years.

Although, I prefer natural sources or to eat my calories. I have found some supplements that I would recommend for those who don’t have the time, availability or options to eat food they need. Supplements are available to increase what we lack to have in our diet or because of age degenerate or give us more convenient options. No matter the reason to have supplements in your diet. I put my recommendations together because I often get the question, “What supps do you take?”

Pre-Workout

I have found and tried my concoctions, nasty alternatives, but one of my favorite and what I highly recommend pre-workouts is Ujido Matcha Energy Drink Mix makes me feel amazing, and I believe in the ingredients.

Now the debate with supplements is if they have what the ingredient label says. It is unregulated meaning companies can put whatever they want in the container and label it otherwise. At the end of the day, I can’t say 100% yes what is on the label is what’s in the container.  I do know the ingredients that are labeled are great, clean and healthy sources of energy. The company Ujido is known for providing a higher standard of matcha ingredient source. I believe in the company and love the effect when I take “Matcha Energy” pre-workout. 

During Workouts

I also really love Collagen endurance for pre/during workouts. It gives me amazing natural energy with no crash. My stomach is sensitive to artificial sweeteners, so I have to be wary. That’s why I love Collagen Endurance not only is it easy on my digestion it’s great for healing my gut health because of the collagen. It’s a win-win!

During Workout my workout I usually drink water, BCAAs or . I typically try to time my eating around my workouts so that I don’t need to drink a supplement. Sometimes you are low on energy and need a kick, and that is when Can’t beet this or Collagen Endurance is the excellent solution.

BCAAs

I sometimes use BCAAs during workouts. BCAAs are Branched Chain Amino Acids they are essential acids meaning your body needs them. Leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They occur naturally in the body, but because of lifestyle and stressors. We usually don’t get what we need especially when following a weightlifting regimen.

BCAAs give your skeletal muscles what they need while you are training.  They contribute to preserving your glycogen stores offering you the energy you need especially in strenuous workouts which is what glycogen does-gives our energy.  Making sure that your glycogen stores are at full capacity also helps with muscle development.  If you have the essential acids, you need that you receive from BCAAs your body is less likely to break down the muscle protein that already exists to use for energy and uses the BCAAs that you have supplemented.  BCAAs are allowing you to have greater gains and maximize your workout potential.

I love MomSanity BCAAs they are usually recommended for post workout very similarly to help you recover.  Combined with a good source of carbohydrate can increase the potential and effect of the BCAAs. Yes, I said eat carbs, especially post workout. Carbs are right for you and if eaten correctly and proportionately can help your post-workout recovery.  How much do you need? On average about five grams of BCAAs is helpful to recover. I choose Momsanity BCAAs again because the ingredients are clean less than seven ingredients they taste good and they work.

POST WORKOUT

I try to eat food post workouts it is the best way to fuel your body, but that is not always available or convenient. I still have a Funnel filled with either Nuzest Protein Powder, Nuzest Fruit & Veg or Nuzest Vita Quick. When I was prepping, I would have all three because my coach was about 45 minutes from my house. It was nice to have a clean, lean source of protein ready to go for those long rides home, got my fruits, veggies and vitamins all in one shake.

I discovered Nuzest about two years ago when I thought that supplementation was necessary to be a fit person.  According to Instagram, that’s the thing to do. I needed to find a Protein that didn’t aggravate my stomach because of sucralose or other artificial ingredients.  I also don’t do whey or casein (same thing pretty much) because of lactose intolerance. Navigating plant-based proteins was not exactly fun, but once I tried Nuzest, I was hooked.  It has less than seven ingredients, so creamy and smooth and a high source of protein.

The Problem with Shakes

The problem with protein shakes is they begin with junk. There are no regulations, and after you add you bananas, strawberries, veggies and almond milk they can be the reason you do not see the results you desire.  Most people just add the nutrition labels to their My Fitness Pal not accounting for all the extra’s the loaded their shake. Like I said I prefer to eat my calories and a loaded shake can be a calorie killer. Another reason I love Nuzest it starts off low calories and carbs because there are less than seven ingredients.  If you did want to add your favorite fruit and veggie mix, it’s not as impactful as other shakes.

Then my friends at Nuzest did one better they came out with Fruit & Veg shakes which are so delicious! I give them to Milah on occasion. Also, great for the winter time when it’s hard to find a lot of seasonal fruits. Nuzest has you covered with their Berry, Mint and my favorite coconut Protein Smoothie.  

Collagen

I have written about the benefits of collagen before I can’t reiterate it enough. If you are over 25 years of age, you should be taking collagen daily.  As your natural collagen reserves are increasing as you age. This is probably one of the only supplements that I consistently take daily.  Usually, while I fast it helps me to get over cravings, headaches and hunger pains.

Meanwhile, providing me with the collagen that is depleting in my body daily as I age.  It’s great for heart, liver, digestive, skin, nails and hair and Great Lakes Gelatin is tasteless and hydrolysate meaning more concentrated and easily absorbed in your system.  If you don’t take any of my suggestions but this one it will help you tremendously in many areas of your health.

 

Vitamins

At one point I had to stop taking Vitamins because I was overdosing on Vitamin C and potassium due to my diet of mostly fruits, veggies and meats.  After analyzing my nutrition in my College Nutrition class. I found that I was at levels of 160-200% in some micronutrients primarily due to taking in addition to what I was eating a multi-vitamin.  I would only recommend a Multi-vitamin if you’re not getting a balanced diet to supplement what you’re lacking. If you eat all the colors, all the veggies and quality carbohydrates, and protein you may be overdoing it. It’s something that you should be aware.  

I find in the winter my diet can have ebbs and flows of quality due to availability. I also tend to not eat as many salads as I do in the Spring/Summer months, so I do supplement with a Multi-vitamin.  My favorite Multi-vitamin is Smarty Pants Organics Womens Complete. Mostly because of the ingredients and the formula I use is specific to women offering Omega 3s, Probiotics, B12, D3 and Zinc which is great to ward off winter germs.  They also come in Vegetarian Gummies in Raspberry, Lemon Lime, and Grape that are tasty. They are not certified gluten-free so that you may be cautious.

So like I have said before. Ideally, I prefer food over supplements but when in need or out of convenience I have these products in my pantry and recommend them to anyone who asks. I figured I would write a post for those who don’t question but wonder.  

Why I choose these brands?

I also am an affiliate or sponsored by these products. This post is not to increase my affiliate commission but to share with you what I use and the reason I have become an ambassador, affiliate or sponsored by these companies because I believe in their product.  I encourage you to do your research. See what works for you and hopefully give you the additional supplementation that you need. I also am confident if you don’t do your research and choose based on my recommendations that you will be completely satisfied.

Is there a specific criterion that you have when choosing supplements or is it an “anything that taste good” your deciding factor?

My blog is in partnership with all of these brands with the exception of Smarty Pants.  I make a commission off the affiliates links, but that does not affect my opinion. I chose these brands because I believe in the product and what they stand for. My Full Disclosure Policy

Desk Cycle- Ellipse

Whoever thought to put an elliptical under your desk was a genius! I am pedaling right now and have to say since getting my Desk Cycle Ellipse I have been getting some extra cardio instead of sitting idle.  The Desk Cycle Ellipse can only be used while sitting and is excellent for a tall or short desk.  It’s very quiet and comfortable to adjust resistance.

The other day I cranked up the dial, and after reading through emails, I was feeling the burn — leaves very little excuses for why you can’t move.  There is an LCD that is found on the Ellipse, or you can have sit on your desk to keep you motivated.  My little divas have competition on how many revolutions they can get in their homework time.   I am obsessed with the Desk Cycle Ellipse and think it’s a fabulous gift for anyone who sits at a desk in your life and shares it on my Instastories.

7 Reasons Good Health begins with Foot Care

Everything starts from the Sole up! I feel like often in fitness we are focused on vain goals. We want to look good, bigger arms, defined back and legs. Not everyone thinks of fitness as helping you to function better. In that neglect to perform better, we often take our feet for granted until we injure ourselves or worse. Feet are the foundation of our body and the key to a healthy life.

Those who often walk, stand for long periods of time can tell you when their feet feel good they feel good and there are many reasons:

7 Reasons good Health begins with your feet

1. Sturdy Foundation

We need to have and maintain a sturdy foundation. The human body is amazing and until I started studying correctives, I didn’t even realize how we are adaptable. Our feet are typically smaller than the other parts of our body yet it contains;
42 muscles
26 bones
33 joints
50 ligaments and tendons
Which hold our entire body upright. Your little size 8 feet can withstand hundreds of pounds and has over 15,000 nerve endings from our toes to our heels.

Our feet are meant to withstand a lot similar to a foundation of a home. Have you ever had a crack in your foundation? If no, you are fortunate because a small crack in a foundation can completely shift your home, ruin your walls and compromise your roof. A foot injury can do the same.

Feet are meant to be taken care of, but we are usually focused on the vanity body parts rather than the function essential ones. We wear our shoes way too long, don’t stretch or massage them until they are in pain.

That is the first place we should begin when focusing on our health from the bottom up.

2. Foot Care equals optimal circulation

We sit too much, and that is causing the muscles in our feet not to get the activity they need so that they can have good blood circulation. Our shoes also inhibit blood flow and circulation. It is suggested that you should massage your feet daily for about 10 minutes. From a 10-minute foot massage, you can cause dramatic effects on your blood circulation. It’s also a great way to relax and unwind.

My little Mimi is excellent at massages and offers them freely. Although, she enjoys it her little four-year-old hands just don’t get the job done. I have been using Solehealers at the end of my day, and I cannot tell you how it has improved the tightness in my calf and it just feels right.

3. Helps you sleep better

If you don’t find you have time for a good foot rub take a few minutes before bed to indulge. Not only will it promote circulation while you sleep and relaxing you from a stressful day. Studies have shown Foot massages before bed has been associated with relieving headaches, migraines, neck pain, lower and upper back aches too  Relieving this body pains help you to get a more peaceful slumber and feel well rested when you awaken the next day.

4. Boost your Mood

Another study revealed that foot massages are linked to relieving people from depression and improving mood. This is due to the over 15,000 nerve endings that reside in your feet. There is reflexologist who can pinpoint certain pressure areas in your feet that will boost your mood. In patients with depression, it is recommended to massage your feet 2 to 3 times per day for about 10 minutes to help relieve depression symptoms.

SoleHealers are great portable, therapeutic foot massages that you can do right at your desk as I am now as I write this post. I noticed that while writing it helps keep me focused and attentive when I am massaging my feet on my Solehealers.

5. Healthier Feet

Massaging and stimulating your feet muscles also helps with ankle and heel pain which is a biggie in my house. Since my Level 3 Ankle Sprain and my husband rupturing his Achilles tendon, we have found the value in proper foot care. We both use the Solehealers to help strengthen our weak ankles. It’s also helped my husband with his foot swelling at the end of the day. I like to stand on my SoleHealers during my warmup to kind of invigorate my feet before I begin my ankle correctives. It’s nice how small and portable the SoleHealers are because they make it really convenient to take anywhere.

6. Helps with anxiety

At first, when I was researching I thought the last thing I want to do when I am anxious is to sit down and stay still for a foot massage. I gave it a try and guessed what it works!  High Anxiety has plagued me for eleven years. I have tried pharmaceutical relief, prayer, and other homeopathic aids. It wasn’t until I got my SoleHealers and was doing research on foot care that I decided to try them out. It was beneficial this month. September my anxiety was very high due to many triggers in my life.

One day while having racing, anxious thoughts I gave it a, “Why not?” I stood on the SoleHealers for about 5 minutes and with a little prayer and standing still on my healers the wave of anxiety went away. Now honestly I am not sure if it was prayer because that has helped me in the past but taking that moment just to stand still and massage my feet was very calming. Other than my experiment, studies have shown a positive correlation between foot massages and reducing anxiety.

7. It feels good

Having healthy feet feels good. It’s awful to walk around in pain, and your feet take a lot of weight on them. Practicing self-care feels good so if you don’t have magic handed Mimi or able to get regular foot massages. I would highly recommend SoleHealers. My mom loves them and uses hers daily. Great for everyone whether you have foot ailments or want to prevent foot ailments.

Solehealers are “Therapeutic relief for stressed out feet” They are helpful to relieve plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammer toes, stiff ankles, and feet. Reduce pain after a day of walking in high heels. All you do is stand on them positioning your feet differently and let the magic happen. So simple and so many benefits. They also have some videos for you to try the new exercise with or to use specifically for different foot ailments.

Check out SoleHealers and grab a 15% discount with my promo code 15BLESSED

  1. I received SoleHealers for a product review I make a commission from my affiliate link as well as other affiliate links that I am partnered.  I recommend this product but if I didn’t I would tell you. My full disclosure policy is here.

7 Changes to Live a Healthier Lifestyle

What is wellness?

What exactly is wellness? Many people have a different definition, but overall it’s adopting a healthy lifestyle.  Wellness is the absence of disease as well as feeling and enjoying your life. There are many components it’s your Spiritual, Physical, Mental and Emotional well being.

What affects a healthy lifestyle?

Your health affects everything in your life it changes how you feel, think, moves, and engage with others. Could you imagine having a common cold every day? Or worse in my thoughts being in pain every moment of every day? That is what some people go through daily some things even worse. When you are sick, you realize that your health affects everything.

I genuinely believe that the enemy is attacking our bodies which is affecting our lives. What people call poor choices I am calling bad habits because despite what we know we still choose the things that are bad for us merely out of comfort and enjoyment.  There are so many diseases that are rising and not subsiding or going away.

Why is wellness important?

Heart diseases, diabetes, cancer, mental health-related illnesses are all rising.  There are many studies on the correlation to our overall lifestyle and physical health. Including the psychological stresses of a fast-paced, busy life, poor food quality and choices, lack of exercise and no social AND spiritual connection.  

Three years ago, I was apart of these statistics from the mental health of depression and high anxiety and obesity. I have to say every piece of my Wellness Puzzle (Spiritual, Physical, Mental and Emotional) was off and it wasn’t until I submitted spiritually did I begin to see a physical result in my life and health.  

Seven changes I made to live a Healthier Life

1. Pray-

If you haven’t been following me, that is a given.  There are studies of the connection between physical and spiritual health. 

“The healthier the spirit and the greater its influence over the physical body — the greater its ability to correct or overcome physical shortcomings.” (From a letter of the Rebbe, dated the 2nd day of Rosh Chodesh Tammuz, 5715)

Prayer is a way to talk to God and have a relationship. That’s how I began my fitness journey through daily prayer and how I help others start theirs through my online program. I use it till this day during before, after and during workouts and have a much stronger prayer life.  I genuinely believe that it helped me have an inner power more significant than my own. Through prayer, I have changed my poor habits into habits that not only I can live with every day, but I truly love. It’s an excellent foundation for my healthy lifestyle change.

2. Change bad habits to good-

Something that I have discovered along this journey. When I was overindulgent, stressed, poorly nourished, sedentary, sleep deprived, and with no self-accountability. It was acceptable it was okay. When I started going to bed early, rising early, eating well, exercising regularly and boldly professing my faith that’s when I got backlash. “Why are you working out so much?” “You should have cheat days more!”   It’s as if poor choices and bad habits are condoned because “everyone” else is doing it taking the easy way out. Creating this reactive culture that we live. Our society is fixated on reacting to poor choices;  Whether it’s through pharmaceutical medicines or surgeries. Living a healthy lifestyle meant replacing my bad habits with old. Trying to be preventative through education, self-awareness, and prevention.  

3.Getting a Emotions Checks

How we feel emotionally can affect our body; it will react with inflammation, pain, disease, and illnesses.  Negative feelings and emotions can directly be correlated to poor health. Addressing your feelings can help you in your path to healing your body and living a healthy lifestyle.  There are many programs, Doctors and specialist that you can find in your area to address your emotional wellness. By making sure I was emotionally healthy through counsel, spiritual devotion and prayer it released me from self-imposed barriers that were affecting my health.  It’s a necessary change I needed to make to live a healthier lifestyle.

4. Educate Yourself on Alternative Ideas

There are many ideas that are contradictory to how our culture’s beliefs.  Sometimes you have to walk a different path than the masses. There are so much research and successful studies on homeopathic therapies and remedies.  Many have been in existence since Biblical days but over the years never gained popularity. My family has been transitioning to living and healing from what God has given us. Whether it be homeopathic pain relief like Arnica which you know I love, essential oils which I recently have been educating myself or with natural plant-based detox. God gave us all we need to live and heal our bodies are amazingly able to recover naturally.  By changing how you use synthetic medicines can help with a healthy lifestyle.

5. Change How you Spend your time

We are so busy being busy! Our social connection and personal time to relax and restore is often affected. Television has mostly been eliminated from my schedule. I typically watch TV when I am folding lots of laundries or doing long bouts of cardio which is not often.  Replacing the hour television show, I used to watch it for an hour at the gym. It’s helped me to physically be well and take care of my body. Finding time for things that are important to my health was a change I needed to make for a healthy lifestyle.

I also believe you need to take time to connect with friends and family daily.  Life is not meant to be a blur, and people aren’t expected to be extras on your tv show.  Just like you, they enjoy connecting with others, and those you love can help your health.  People who are alone and isolated live shorter lives than those who are engaged with others. We were meant for a community, but in our viral culture, we are beginning to find our community on online sources isolating and keeping us from real-world connections.  Unplug, touch, hug and engage with people in real life.

As an adult it is hard to make friends but easy to find those with a common interest.  Do the things that you love, and you will find others to be in a community or just the people right next to you in your own house on the phone.  Life is too short and too important to be stuck behind a screen.

6. Eat Right

Another, “Duh De” but for real! Cut out the Carbonated, Refined Sugar, Artifical Colors and Flavors, Processed (C.R.A.P) stuff that resembles food in your life and start to eat Fruits and Vegetables, Organic or Natural Meat, Omega 3 and good fats, Drink more water (F.O.O.D).

No diet required to live a healthy lifestyle. The things that you put in your mouth almost instantly effects your health. There is no doubt and question in my mind. Is it easy to not eat C.R.A.P?

NO!

But once you make it a new habit; it’s just that second nature. It only takes consistent effort and exploring different things to find what you love.  Your perspective can determine, and the energy you put into changing your life will reveal your results. Basically, what you put in your will get out two-fold. Eating right is a necessary change to a healthy lifestyle.

7. Move More

Everyone just wants to try a diet and still stay still, but that is not going to cut it to change to your life. I put this last because it’s not the most important, but it is essential. We were made to move that is how God created us, and we are sitting our way into an early grave. Should you be moving every day!

YES!

The CDC only recommends 150 minutes per week, but honestly the more you move, the longer you live, the healthier you live. So, I recommend 150 minutes per week, but I encourage you to find something you love to do and do it every day for as long as you like it might add up to over 150 minutes without you even knowing it!  

Get Educated

There are other tools that I would recommend for a healthier lifestyle: massage therapy, self-care, and positive self-talk.

Ultimately, it begins with education which is something that my Great Grandfather instilled in me to always try to learn something new every day. I am attended in Well Summit in Brooklyn, NY October 5 & 6th.  It is a fantastic opportunity to network, learn and educate with over 800 people in the Wellness Industry! I would love to meet you there, and I can give you $75 off your ticket with CODE: WSDe

Join other people who have realized that we can live a happier healthier life if we make some changes and me.  Change is always hard but often for your good and trying one or two of my suggestion can hopefully help you make some changes in your own life to live healthier.

Did you find any changes helpful? Do you think you’re ready to change? What steps are you taking to achieve wellness?
