We bought some farm fresh strawberries this weekend and man they were good! I wait for strawberry season all year and as much as I eat them on their own, I also love to incorporate them into my recipes.
I’m risking something by sharing this recipe with you, as I acknowledge it’s a bit of a weird combo, but I’m fully addicted.
I love how fresh it is with the strawberries and herbs but am also so happy with how full it keeps me because of …

I’m sure you’ve heard of Ozempic or Wegovy, GLP-1s that are becoming increasingly popular as a drug to aid in weight loss.
As a Personal Trainer I try to reinforce with my clients that these medications aren’t a magic bullet – they’re a tool. And like any tool, their effectiveness depends on how we use them.
Guidelines have recently been released by some major medical organizations on how to support people on GLP-1s, and they made one …

In recent years, there's been a noticeable shift in how many people view alcohol.
From "sober curious" trends to increased awareness of health impacts, more individuals are re-evaluating their relationship with drinking.
This isn't just about addressing Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), but also about general well-being, mental clarity, and a desire for healthier lifestyles.

One of our favourite phrases at the men's support group is 'Emotional Constipation' - that hard to describe feeling of certain weights in our bodies. Some feel it in their chests while others feel it in their stomachs - I for one also feel it in my legs of all places!
Think of it as blocked energy. Pretend you are at a comedy show and hearing the funniest things, yet you are not allowed to laugh. Your eyes would start to water, your chest …

This week in our men's support group we discussed the topic of motivation. What is it? How do we turn it on? and more deeply, does it even exist?
If there were a child in the middle of the road, rushing to save them wouldn't be called motivation — it would be called instinct, compassion, or moral urgency. It’s a visceral, immediate response driven by empathy and our innate sense of right and wrong. It’s a reflex of the heart and conscience — …

Women supporting women. Moms lifting up other moms. That’s what it’s all about.
When we heard that a treadmill at Halton Women’s Place could benefit not just the resilient families living there, but also the incredible, selfless staff who support them—we knew we had to help.
This Mother’s Day, we were honoured to donate a treadmill that will provide a safe, supportive space for movement, healing, and strength—inside the shelter …

Mental Health Scale.
If you're like me, the weekly weight scale check in can be a happy or frustrating experience. Sometimes it's lower than expected (amazing) and other times it's the same or even a pound higher (WTF) - whatever the numbers show, we continue or we adjust.
However there is no scale for mental health.
No number to show you how much extra weight you're carrying and no numbers to track progress. The reality is most of us keep …
