After the holidays, many people might feel like @BigAdulting—overwhelmed and unsure where to start on their health and fitness journey. Here’s how to take the first steps:
First and foremost, get active. Start by increasing your daily activity. Set a step goal, go for a walk, dance, or find other ways to stay active throughout the day. Incorporate strength training into your routine—aim for at least three hours of exercise each week to build and maintain muscle.
Second, with every meal, include a source of protein and a fruit or vegetable. Protein helps keep you full, supports muscle growth, and aids in recovery. Fruits and vegetables provide fiber, essential micronutrients, and antioxidants to support overall health.
Third, go see your doctor. Your health is your greatest asset—not just for yourself but for your family and loved ones who depend on you. Regular checkups can help catch potential issues early and keep you on track. It’s surprising how often I meet clients with incredible resources who haven’t prioritized a visit to their doctor in years.
Labs I generally have clients request: CBC with diff, CMP, Hemoglobin A1C, Lipid profile, ApoA and ApoB, Thyroid profile, IGF-1, Total and free testosterone, FSH and LH, Estradiol, DHEA-S, SHBG, Vitamin D 25 OH, B12 and folate, Homocysteine, Men over 40 should have a Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test
Take charge of your health today—small, consistent steps lead to big results.
