MetFix Method

I’ve been training Mary for over a decade—and 2 beautiful kids later, the fun still doesn’t stop! ❤️💪🏻

She’s a hard-working mom who continues to make her health, strength and fitness a priority, and I absolutely LOVE getting to be part of her journey.

One of the things that makes my job so special is meeting amazing people, becoming part of their lives, and watching them continue to live their best lives through all the different seasons.

And selfishly speaking…I SUPER love when I get to hold the babies 👶🏻❤️ and then, before I know it, watch those same babies grow up and start “working out” alongside Mom!

More than a decade of training, friendship, babies and fitness.

Best life. Best job. Doing what I love! ❤️

Saturday, our plans to head to the coast changed with a single phone call.

My heart sank when I saw it was Bill’s assisted living facility.

For three days, he had refused to go down to the dining hall for meals. He wouldn’t get out of bed so they could put fresh sheets on. And he was barely touching the food they brought to his room.

So Tim and I got in the car and drove to Bill.

We got him showered and dressed and took him out for his favorite BBQ, hoping that might get him interested in eating.

He barely touched his food.

I kept asking if his stomach felt okay. He said yes.

Later, he casually mentioned that he had thrown up a few days earlier. When I asked if he had told the staff that he threw up, he looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about.

He didn’t remember telling me.

This is one of the most difficult parts of Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. I never really know if Bill is telling me something that happened yesterday, something that happened years ago, or something that didn’t happen at all.

And when he can’t reliably tell us how he feels, it becomes that much harder to know when something is actually wrong.

I’m now working on finding Bill a new primary care doctor within about 10 minutes of his assisted living facility, because getting him to appointments is becoming another challenge.

And I can’t shake the feeling that we’re getting closer to the point where Bill needs the next level of care.

Maybe the small blessing in all of this is that he doesn’t fully understand what’s happening to him anymore.

But we do.

And that may be one of the hardest parts of caring for someone through this disease. ❤️

Our last Community Nutrition Talk of the year touched on so many important topics—but there’s one thing I hear more than almost anything:

“I can’t lose weight no matter what I do!”

It always comes back to the food.

When your diet is consistently high in carbohydrates, your body has a steady supply of glucose that needs to be managed.

When we reduce carbs and prioritize quality protein and healthy fats, we create an environment that supports better metabolic health, metabolic flexibility, improved body composition and lower blood sugar 🙌🏻

And that’s the bigger picture.

It’s not JUST about losing weight.

It’s about understanding how food affects your glucose, insulin, A1C, energy and long-term health—and learning how to use nutrition as a tool.

Food matters. Metabolic health matters. And you have more control than you may think. 💪🏻

The #1 question I keep getting is, “What are you doing for that injured knee?” The answer: daily stretching and physical therapy, shockwave therapy here and there, keeping up with my magnesium and creatine, taking bodybuilding & sculpting class, and walking at least a mile a day.

My biggest focus? Staying active with the rest of my body that isn’t injured—and staying mentally strong by focusing on the exercise I can still do.

Today is day 14 since the injury, and I was able to hold a single-leg wall sit on my injured side for a full minute! I can also almost sit back onto my heels from a kneeling position. Amazing progress!!

Don’t underestimate the power of continuing to move in the ways you safely can. Just keep moving, friends! 💪”
