RIVAL frames – A Zeal Optics Review

Growing up as the daughter of a small business owner, I have a soft spot in my heart for the hometown feel when it comes to where I buy things. Whether it is the hole in the wall breakfast spot beside a chain restaurant, a Home Hardware store instead of a big box building supply… Read More…

Genuine Health: It Matters

I will never forget my first appointment with a sports dietician last year. I arrived at the appointment feeling confident in my nutrition and health. I watched my nutrients, I drank water, I tried to sleep enough hours to recover properly. She took a look at my diet and began asking a rapid fire round… Read More…

Glycemic Index and SOLO

Glycemic Index and SOLO

Let’s talk glycemic index for a moment, shall we? It’s a buzz word that has been thrown around a lot and as it is showing up in the aisles of the grocery story, it is time to take pause and understand it. The Glycemic Index is a ranking of how fast or how much a… Read More…

Mental Health Week and North Coast Naturals

May7

Mental Health Week and North Coast Naturals

This is a pretty important week for me. So often as athletes, we focus on physical training that we forget that we are made up of more stuff than just bones and muscles.
