2026 April Updates

It's hard to believe it's already April!! The sun is shining (mostly) and the weather is starting to warm up (fingers crossed). As we come out of winter and start thinking about fresh foods & farmer's markets, it's a great time to think about building some healthy habits for the spring & summer season. This April we've got lots of exciting things coming in regards to our Nutrition & Accountability programs.

Upcoming Virtual Seminar: Tuesday 4/14 7PM

“Food for a Better Mood: Reduce Stress & Curb Cravings”

‍

During stressful times in our lives, it’s easy to fall into patterns of reaching for sugary snacks or comfort foods.  Those same foods we look to for comfort, however, can leave us feeling more tired, irritable and craving more.  This seminar is geared towards providing some additional context for why that happens, but also how to help combat it.

‍

In this seminar you’ll learn:

• The science behind why cravings spike under stress
• Simple swaps that keep blood sugar steady
• Foods that naturally support calm, focus & resilience
• How to use nutrition to reduce cravings before they start.

‍

This talk is virtual so you can attend it from anywhere!  Of course, we’ll also record it so you can catch up afterwards if you can’t make it but you’re still interested.  Sign up below to receive the zoom link!

28 Day Healthy Habits Kickstart

I often hear “I just need to figure out my nutrition” or some version of that around the gym or even just in my everyday interactions.  This 28 Day Healthy Habit Kickstart is the perfect opportunity to start building healthy habits around nutrition but also the other elements of a healthy lifestyle.  The 28 days is challenge formatted for those with a competitive spirit but also includes group support.   This is a great way to learn about the HSN framework and get started on building healthy habits.  The challenge will run from 4/27-5/24.  The end of the challenge coincides with Memorial Day Weekend Murph as well so it’s a great time to see how your habits can have a positive impact on your performance.

‍

The Challenge includes:

• Individual meetings before & after the challenge with your nutrition coach (Ian or Christine)
• Kick off Seminar that takes you through the app and how the 28 days is laid out.

• Daily Habits (A few examples include 10+ min of stress management, Eat 1+ cups of non-starchy veggies with lunch & dinner)
• Daily educational videos (2-3 minutes of quick information that helps tie everything together)
• Weekly mini-challenges to keep you engaged because we know that engaged participants get the most out of the 28 days!
