One week away! You can start to drop off your shoes beginning Monday, March 16th at WKYfit, Seva Fitness or Tenacity Training all in Paducah! All funds raised will go to Paducah Cooperative Ministries to help our community with homelessness and food insecurity. Here’s what to look for: ✅ Sneakers you’ve outgrown but are still in good shape ✅ Pairs sitting in your closet that you just don’t wear anymore ✅ Gently used kicks that still have life left in them ✅ Any brand, any style, as long as they can be worn again Why does quality matter? Because every pair you send goes on to get a second life on someone else’s feet, in communities around the world. The better the condition, the bigger the impact

It’s been one heck of a year; both professionally and personally so this update is FOREVER in the making.

If you have driven down North Friendship Road in the last several months and wondered what this logo meant and who was running that place, then look no further.

WKYfit is my and Matt Queen’s venture into business ownership after several priceless years at Seva Fitness with Eric Romanak.

Don’t worry, we are still forever friends and we collaborate any time we get the chance. But, all good things do eventually evolve and we found ourselves moving to different locations after many tears from me and jokes from the dudes.

Anyway, check out the website and take note of our contact information if you find yourself needing some guidance in your fitness and nutrition journey. I have limited availability and Matt probably has more, but you should email or text us to find out!!

Also, hit up Eric at Seva Fitness Academy too because he is one of the best trainers around, in both of our opinions!🙏🏻

Ladies: PAY ATTENTION!! I highly recommend following The Pause Life by Dr. Mary Claire Haver for more information

It’s time. Women in midlife deserve access to the full range of evidence-based treatment options, including testosterone. ⁣ We have robust data showing that testosterone can significantly improve the overall quality of life in women in midlife. And yet, in the U.S., there is still no FDA-approved testosterone product specifically for women, despite our bodies naturally producing it. ⁣ We’re not asking for more than what men already have. We’re asking for equity, science, and respect. ⁣ Women’s health is not a niche. It’s not secondary. It’s essential. Thank you to @kellycaspersonmd for your words and knowledge that you presented to the FDA. Learn more about women's health in midlife: https://thepauselife.com⁣

Genetics load the weapon, but lifestyle makes it go BOOM!

When we say “heart disease” here, we’re really referring to cardiovascular disease—a large category encompassing conditions of the heart muscle and coronary arteries as well as the circulatory system and blood vessels. Facets of cardiovascular disease include coronary artery disease (clogged arteries) and heart failure.

Animal-based foods are full of saturated fat and cholesterol, the building blocks of heart disease. Meat, dairy, and eggs all contribute to the buildup of plaque. As Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., MD writes: “Plaque does not develop until the endothelium or the lining of the arteries, is injured—and it is injured every time people eat meat, dairy, fish, and chicken. This cannot be emphasized enough.

This cannot be emphasized enough.

Medications and surgical procedures do not address the root of heart disease. But the good news is that the world’s leading killer is in fact preventable and even reversible. Just as lifestyle factors cause it to develop, they can also cause it to recede. You can dramatically lower your cholesterol and blood pressure simply by changing what you eat.

You should be your priority. No one else truly knows what you need except YOU!

Anyone else struggle with not feeling worthy?
Imposter syndrome?
Constant worry about not doing enough, being enough, trying hard enough? Not doing the right things?

Well, me too. For years.

Maybe it’s my age, or life experience or any number of things; but I am slowly coming to see that I am just fine the way I am, but always striving to improve.

So on this day of celebration of the American worker, I encourage you to take a break from giving yourself a hard time. And I hope you have the day off to relax from your job as well.

Get out and get active!! Who is coming with me?!

Super interesting!! Notice it says “reduce saturated fats,” not eliminate all. Subtle changes work too!

Direct imaging studies correlate the degree of hearing loss with atherosclerotic narrowing of the arteries in our inner ear, but what happens when you put it to the test?

In 1960, one of two mental hospitals near Helsinki, Finland, had its menu changed to decrease its patients’ intake of saturated animal fat. Then, after a few years, the two hospitals switched their menus. It was one of the first interventional trials of its kind to suggest that you could decrease heart disease deaths by decreasing saturated fat intake.

What happened to patients’ hearing? It followed the exact same pattern. As their heart disease got worse, so did their hearing. Then, when the hospitals switched their menus, the reverse happened—and not just by a little. Patients in their 50s in the lower saturated fat hospital ended up with significantly better hearing than those in the group in the control hospital who were ten years younger, suggesting that dietary changes may slow—or even reverse—the loss of hearing.
