Someone makes outstanding progress throughout the first 10.5 months of the year. Then, Thanksgiving rolls around and they toss up two middle fingers to the previous 10.5 months and succumb to the temptations of the holidays.
This is the time of the year where most people throw up a middle finger to the previous 11 months, and with the added stress of the holidays, change in weather, and consistency of low quality food options put in front of us, we could potentially throw away a lot or even all of the progress that we've made over the last 11 months.
Inflammation gets a super bad rap though and it's very misunderstood. What most people mean when they refer inflammation to is "chronic inflammation" and yes, that is not ideal and can be driven by high levels of mental stress, physical stress to a specific area, poor nutrition, poor sleep, etc.
"Even when I have my burger today, I'm going to not get truffle fries (I love truffle fries, but I won't miss them) and will replace it with a greens salad."

Jess grew up an athlete and went on to play hockey at the University of Michigan, where her passion for fitness and total body wellness emerged as a means of improving her own health and on ice performance.

"Lastly, I want to thank each and every trainer that I had the opportunity to work with. Not only were they all INCREDIBLY professional, knowledgeable, and helpful, they were also just phenomenal human beings."
It can be super easy to try and focus on a million things at once when you're trying to lose weight and live a healthier life. However, what I found super effective was focusing on one small thing at a time.
"I wish everyone could see the amount of effort Harry has put into his development. Seriously, there were so many times where Harry would be at the gym at 2:00 a.m. working on his game."
"I had been dealing with hip impingement issues on top of my knee rehab, and I wasn't even able to get into a squat or hinge position. After assessing my movement patterns, strengths, and weaknesses, Mike provided me a few corrective exercises."

"Mike encouraged me and told me that we would work on one goal at a time. He told me that it would be a process but I would see results if I stuck with it."
