Often, you just have to get clear on whether or not it’s a priority.When it’s a priority - somehow it makes it on your schedule.😊If you’ve been struggling with your resolutions/goals… remember - it starts with one small step. And then rinse and repeat, consistently. And in my experience - the best way to prioritize something in your health routine (especially if you’re having difficulty) … is to do it earlier in the day.😊Keep on.#fitness #georgetownontario #chiropracticjustmakessense #chiropractor #crossfit #fatloss #newyearsresolution #movement #haltonhills #tndo
✅ Boring. If you have goals there’s going to be some sacrifices you have to make. At times… you’ll be boring. 🤷🏻♂️😊 (It can’t all be super exciting).Meaning…The majority of the time you’re going to have to skip the cookies for the protein snack.Skip the sit down Netflix time and walk.Saying no to sugary alcoholic drinks with friends.Choosing the afternoon walk instead of the sit down coffee. (By the way, I’d just encourage my friends to come on the walk with the coffee).😊Earlier bed times so that you can workout earlier in the morning. Boring, right.Ultimately the choices we make stack up. It’s either a bunch of tiny choices towards your goals or away from. There’s no such thing as just staying idle… you’re either making tiny progressions or slipping back.You choose.#health #georgetownontario #chiropractor #fitness #chiropracticjustmakessense #fatloss #movement #haltonhills #tndo

Ok, this is exciting! It’s staying light out noticeably later.
But, this was gradual. It was over the past 3-4 weeks this changed. And did you even notice until I brought it up??
The same slow gradual changes often happen with are health.
As long as you stick to the plan and gain that sunlight minute by minute. Eventually your chances of success are much higher.
Our goal is to bring 500 of these books to the Sick Kids NICU this year 😊.
The book is called “The Invisible String.”
Every year ~500 of these books are given to families in the NICU. And they are running low on supplies.
We appreciate your consideration and support. 😊🫶🏼
You can drop off your new unused copies of the book at:

No need to overcomplicate how you approach your new year’s health goals.
Just keep things simple (easy to do, also easy not to do though 😉).
When I think about the things that have contributed immensely to my own health routine over the past 20+ years….
1) Strength training, prioritize keeping your body strong. Building and banking your lean mass pays dividends as you age - in your quality of life and potentially longevity.
2) Regular steps - keeping your heart and blood vessels healthy - along with helping to manage your blood sugar/energy. Regular walking helps your energy, fat loss efforts and recovery. When you go walking think of it as helping with groceries in to the tissues and garbage out.
3) And of course when people ask the one thing I do regularly for both my own and my families health:
Corrective Chiropractic care.
Remember, your brain controls your body through the nervous system 🧠 . If the nerves are irritated - things may work at less than optimal function. Corrective Chiropractic focuses on the health of the nervous system and proper motion of the spine. It does this by restoring proper motion to the spine and helping to reduce nerve irritation.
This may help with better brain-body communication, RECOVERY/HEALING and may even help manage your stress response better (I know it does for me). And these are a few of the reasons why I’ve been checked regularly (and adjusted) since my late teens and all of my kids since birth.
And if you ask Coach Mercedes @the_fitnesshall - this has been a regular part of her health routine for the past 12+ years as well. 😊

It's not just OLD AGE. Remember, how you talk to yourself is important. Instead of saying "I'm just gettin' old" - consider the few ideas I share here.
Whenever someone actually says this I like to say "oldER" vs. "old" because your abilities are very much linked to your mindset and what get's said between your ears. :)
Here I discuss some ideas on how you can help keep yourself more independent and youthful.
--
Some things that I consider helpful in maintaining your health, youthfulness and independence:
- How much you move. Your level of activity and step count each day.
- Strength train? Lean mass is critical to health and being strong as you age.
- Fuel. What goes in counts. Focusing on real food and protein.
- Healthy Spine and Nervous System. Your mobility and quality life are just two of the things Corrective Chiropractic care may play a role in. Proper movement and a good brain-body connection are vital to your overall healing and quality of life.
Would love to hear your thoughts?
Start here.
If you’re having difficulty - consider this.
Just focus on adding in this one macronutrient first. Focus solely on this for a period of time - at your meal times (and if you want a snack.
And then focus on trimming the extras.

The Apollo mission to the moon was on course 2-3% of the time…
I read this recently and thought wow. What a great analogy for how we deal with our health and all the distractions that come up.
