Sharing 12 delicious sweet and savory yogurt bowl combos!

Hi friends! How are you? I hope the week is going well! I’m going for a hike this morning – the weather is a dreeeeaaaaaam – and also have a dentist appointment.

For today’s post, I wanted to share some breakfast and snack ideas: yogurt bowls!!

Are you a fan of yogurt bowls? If not, you’re missing out on a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack option. Yogurt bowls are not only easy to make but also packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them a great choice for fueling your day.

If you can digest whole fat Greek yogurt, go for it! It’s packed with protein and nutrients. Since I can’t do a ton of dairy, I like to use Kite Hill yogurt or Cocoyo and mix it with protein powder 🙂

Today, I’m excited to share a roundup of 12 yogurt bowl ideas that you’ll love to try.

Sharing my thoughts on Shilajit and how I use it in my routine.

Hi friends! How are you? I hope that your week is off to a great start. I’m looking forward to barre this morning, and client calls this afternoon.

For today’s post, I wanted to chat about a hot topic in the supplement world: shilajit! If you’ve been curious about trying it, I’m excited to chat about what shilajit is, its incredible benefits, how it’s sourced, and take a closer look at Organifi’s shilajit gummies, weighing their pros and cons. (Just a lil note that you can use FITNESSISTA for 20% off at Organifi!)

Friendly reminder that I’m not a doctor and this post is not medical advice. I’m simply sharing my thoughts and experience.

What is the best Shilajit?

Shilajit, often referred to as “the destroyer of weakness,” is a potent substance that has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Derived from the rocks of the Himalayas and other mountain ranges, shilajit is known for its numerous health benefits and unique composition.

What is Shilajit?

Shilajit is a sticky, tar-like substance that oozes from rocks in mountainous regions, particularly in the Himalayas. It is formed over centuries by the decomposition of plant matter and minerals, resulting in a rich, bioactive compound. Shilajit is composed of a complex mixture of organic and inorganic compounds, including fulvic acid, humic acid, minerals, and trace elements.

Benefits of Shilajit

Shilajit is revered for its wide range of health benefits, which have been documented in both traditional medicine and modern research.

Some of the key benefits of shilajit include:

Increased Energy and Stamina: Shilajit is known for its ability to enhance energy levels and combat fatigue, making it a popular choice among athletes and individuals with demanding lifestyles.

Improved Cognitive Function: Studies suggest that shilajit may support cognitive function, including memory, focus, and mental clarity.

Enhanced Physical Performance: Shilajit has been shown to improve physical performance and endurance, making it a valuable supplement for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

Anti-inflammatory Properties: Shilajit exhibits potent anti-inflammatory effects, which may help alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and joint pain.

Antioxidant Support: Shilajit is rich in antioxidants, which help protect cells from oxidative damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. By reducing oxidative stress on the scalp, shilajit may help prevent hair loss and maintain overall hair health.

Collagen Synthesis: Shilajit contains minerals like copper and zinc, which play essential roles in collagen synthesi

Hi friends! Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week. We are 100% in chaos and construction mode over here, but I’m so excited for the finished product. I’ve been wanting to replace our upstairs carpet for YEARS and am so pumped that the time is finally here! We kept waiting for the “best time” to do it regarding travel, work, dance, and school schedules, and finally realized there will never be an ideal time. So, here we go! We’ve slept on air mattresses downstairs all week; like a big family slumber party 🙂

I’m looking forward to girls’ night tonight and farmers market this weekend, in between putting the house back together. I hope you’ve had a lovely week.

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

This week I took an amazing class at Session Yoga foothills. I practiced at the central location for years – especially the last time we lived here – but it’s been too long of a trek to make it out there. I’m so excited to have a studio close by!

Sharing my review of the Canopy shower filter. You can check it out here and use the code FITNESSISTA15 for 15% off site wide!

Hi friends! How are you? I hope you’re having an amazing week so far. We had to drag our mattress downstairs to sleep on the living room floor while they work upstairs, so sleep has been a little interesting lol, but other than that all is well here.

We’re making some huge improvements around the house for aesthetic and health purposes. When I found out our sofa and carpet both had mold, it was time for them to go. Water filtration is something that you can easily do for your health – I can do a post about my favorite filters for drinking! – but it’s easy to forget about the water you and your family use to bathe.

For today’s post, I wanted to talk about why you might want to filter your shower and bath water, and the best home shower filter that I’ve found: Canopy!

Why should you filter your shower and bath water?

When we shower, the water we use is absorbed into our skin, and we’re also breathing in the vapors of this water, often in an enclosed space. You can check out the quality of your local tap water here. (Tucson’s is horrible.)

Filtering bath and shower water offers several benefits for skin, hair, and overall health, including:

Skin Irritation Reduction: Chlorine and chloramines, commonly used in municipal water supplies, can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness, itchiness, and irritation. Filtering these chemicals can reduce the risk of these issues, leaving the skin feeling softer and more comfortable.

Mineral Deposits Reduction: Hard water, containing high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, can leave deposits on the skin, causing it to feel dry and rough. Hard water also contains various dissolved metals, like aluminum, barium, strontium, iron, zinc, and manganese. Filtering hard water can prevent these mineral deposits, resulting in smoother, more hydrated skin.

Hair Health Improvement: Hard water can also leave mineral deposits on the hair, making it appear dull and lifeless. Filtering the water can help maintain the hair’s natural shine and vitality.

Eczema and Psoriasis Relief: For those with eczema or psoriasis, which can be exacerbated by exposure to certain chemicals and minerals in water, filtering the water can help alleviate symptoms and reduce flare-ups.

Reduced Risk of Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may be sensitive to chemical
