BIG NEWS: Truvani launches new supplement line to support your sleep, mood, and immune system

Image
If you’ve been following me on social media, you’ll know I’ve been teasing you about our new Truvani products coming out. Well, I’m proud to announce… They’re HERE! But before I get to the details, here’s a short story to help you understand why we created them: A few years ago, I had a full medical workup done and discovered there were a few vitamins that my body wasn’t getting enough of. I eat an incredibly balanced and nutritious diet, so it really took me by surprise. First off, I eat SO many plants… and I always pay close attention to all the ingredients I put into my body. I also try extremely hard to buy the best organic food available. And yet, there I was. Lacking. This experience worried me, so I did some research. Watch the video below to see what I found out (and be the first to see what Truvani has in store to help!)   All of these new products make me seriously HAPPY. I’m happy when I get a good night’s sleep. I’m happy when I’m not sick. And, I’m happy...

Collagen vs. Whey: Which Protein is Best For Your Needs?

Image
Collagen or whey. Which should you choose? For years, collagen/gelatin was maligned by bodybuilding enthusiasts as an “incomplete protein” because it doesn’t contain all the essential amino acids, nor does it contribute directly to muscle protein synthesis.  There’s definitely truth to this. If you ate nothing but gelatin for your protein, you’d get sick real quick. That’s exactly what happened to dozens of people who tried the infamous “liquid protein diet” fad of the 70s and 80s, which relied heavily on a gelatin-based protein drink. Man—or woman—shall not live by collagen alone. As for whey, it’s an extremely complete protein. It’s one of the most bioavailable protein sources around, a potent stimulator of anabolic processes and muscle protein synthesis. I consider it essential for people, especially older ones in whom protein metabolism has degraded, and for anyone who wants to boost their protein intake and get the most bang for their buck. This said, which is best for you...

Summery Things

New Bathing Suits I ordered THREE suits from Albion Fit intending to return 1-2 and kept them all! They have the CUTEST suits. I don’t know what is harder to fit on me: jeans or bathing suits. Rarely can I judge from just a look if they will work or not. But I got really lucky on these three. Hang Ten Crop Top – This suit top fits like a sports bra – I am totally obsessed. I can literally run on the beach in this. And the back is SO cute. Pair with any black bottoms you already own. Icon Wave Crop – A one-shoulder top with the matching green high-waisted bottom . The top is supportive and snug in all the right places so it doesn’t move around. These are my first high-waisted bottoms. I do think a bikini-style bottom looks better on my figure, but I’m digging the vintage look. The Maria One Piece – I’m totally obsessed with this suit. It’s perfection. I’ve gotten so many complements on it having only worn it twice. I love that I can pair it with some Athleta shorts and don’t n...
