You’ve heard of biohacking, but have you tried sleep maxxing? 💤

Sleepmaxxing is all about upgrading your rest to feel sharper, stronger, and more energised every day.
Sleepmaxxing focuses on optimizing sleep for better well-being.

It’s not just about getting eight hours.
It’s about making those hours restorative through a better sleep schedule, quality bedding, or effective wind-down routines.

😴Ways to Sleepmaxx Like a Pro:

Curate Your Sleep Environment:
• Keep your bedroom calm, dark, and quiet.
Blackout curtains and white noise machines? Essential.

Master the Wind-Down Routine:
• Try a sleep meditation or deep breathing exercise to ease stress and prep your body for rest.

Fine-Tune Your Sleep Schedule:
• Try the 10-3-2-1-0 rule: No caffeine 10 hours before bed, no heavy meals 3 hours before, no work 2 hours before, no screens 1 hour before, and hit snooze zero times.

Optimize Your Nutrition for Sleep:
• Natural supplements like magnesium, L-glycine, chamomile, or L-theanine should be considered to support restful sleep.

Use Smart Sleep Tech:
• Try red-light therapy or a sunrise alarm clock to align your circadian rhythm naturally.

Summer is quickly approaching, which means lots of vacations & travel for many of our clients! A full body dumbbell workout can really come in handy when you’re out of town and wanting to get a great workout in! For this workout, you need a couple pairs of dumbbells (one lighter and one medium/heavy) and either a small towel or paper plate if you don’t have a glider disc! Simple but oh so effective!

Complete each exercise for 45 seconds. (Per side if unilateral) Repeat for 4-5 rounds!

-Glider walking side lunge— you can add a weight plate to the glider if you have one for an extra challenge!
-Suitcase crunches
-Single leg bridge > crunch > leg lift (keep hips lifted in bridge, brace your abs and squeeze your glutes!)
-Squat to Curtsy Lunge (squat with weights at your sides, curl up and hold on shoulders for curtsy)
-Kneeling front to side raise (light weights here)- can kneel on Bosu for extra balance challenge!

We’ve been eyeing the viral Miso Ginger Roast recipes all over social media.. then we found this citrus twist and had to try it! 🍊

This Miso Ginger & Orange Chuck Roast is juicy, savory, slightly sweet, and so ridiculously tender! You can serve it over rice or even make tacos with your favorite toppings! It would be delicious paired with avocado, cilantro and a creamy jalapeño sauce! 🌮 🍚

This recipe requires very little prep and cooking time, so it’s perfect for a weekend meal.

Ingredients:

3 ½-4 Pounds Chuck Roast
½ Cup Orange Juice
½ Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce or coconut aminos
3 Tablespoons White Miso Paste
3 Tablespoons Ginger Paste, or 3 inch k**b, peeled & grated
2 Tablespoons Honey, or maple syrup or brown sugar
4 Cloves Garlic, mashed
1 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 Teaspoon Red Chili Flakes

Start by preheating your oven to 325°F. Then, prepare the marinade. In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, low-sodium soy sauce, white miso paste, ginger paste (or grated fresh ginger), honey (or maple syrup or brown sugar), mashed garlic, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Whisk until the miso is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Next, pat the chuck roast dry using paper towels and place it directly into a Dutch oven or any heavy-bottomed oven-safe pot with a lid. Pour the marinade over the roast and use your hands or tongs to flip the meat a few times, making sure it’s fully coated in the marinade.

Once the roast is coated, cover the pot with the lid and transfer it to the oven. Let it cook for 3½ to 4 hours, undisturbed. At the 3½-hour mark, remove the pot from the oven and use two forks to test the meat — it should shred easily. If it still feels tough, return it to the oven for an additional 30 minutes.

When the meat is fall-apart tender, remove the pot from the oven. Use two forks to shred the roast directly in the pot, mixing the meat with the flavorful juices. If you want crispy edges, turn your oven to broil on high. Return the pot to the oven, uncovered, and broil for 3 to 4 minutes. Then, remove the pot from the oven and serve hot.

Today we said a bittersweet goodbye to a long time client, Megan! She had her last session before starting a new chapter moving to Washington DC!

She started training with Laura back in early 2021, right after graduating college. She was new to lifting weights and intimidated by the gym. Over time, she learned how to lift weights, set and achieved strength goals and excelled with cardio endurance! She even got into running and spin classes on her own and fell in love with meal prepping healthy food each week.
It’s been such an amazing journey watching you grow both in and out of the gym (shout out to her because she just finished her MBA and landed her dream job!
🥹🥰🎉) over the years! We will miss you!!! 🫶🏻💕

A simple, comforting meal packed with protein- perfect for a rainy weekend dinner! 🥘

▫️Bone Broth Smothered Chicken▫️

Ingredients:

3 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and/or drumsticks
1 tsp salt
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
½ yellow onion, thinly sliced
6-8 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cups chicken bone broth
2 tbsp arrowroot or cornstarch
Cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place the chicken in a roasting dish and season with salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, then toss until the chicken is evenly coated.

Scatter the sliced onions and fresh thyme over the chicken. Pour the chicken broth into the pan, avoiding pouring it directly over the chicken to keep the seasonings intact.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes.

After the chicken is done roasting, remove it from the oven. Discard the thyme sprigs.

Carefully pour the broth into a separate bowl, reserving as much of the liquid as possible. Set the chicken aside.

Increase the oven temperature to Low Broil.
In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of the chicken drippings and the arrowroot (or cornstarch) until smooth. Add this slurry back to the bowl of remaining chicken drippings and whisk until combined.
Pour the thickened gravy over the chicken, tossing to coat evenly.

Return the chicken to the oven, uncovered, for another 15-20 minutes, basting with the gravy every 5 minutes (optional) until the chicken is golden brown and the gravy has thickened.

Serve the roasted chicken over a bed of rice. Enjoy!
