the historical brunch n’ hike

On Easter we decided to take our Sunday brunch then hike adventuring to Los Angeles. After a pop-up buffet hosted by Southern Fried Vegan, we drove the short distance to the east side entrance of Griffith Park. Surprisingly we have only been there once before to explore the famous Griffith Observatory and had no idea…

Reset to Amazing: Getting The Whole Family Involved

Happy, Healthy Families! We are 90 days into our new Team RLEI Reset Program to Live Amazing and new, healthier patterns are well underway. Changing your mindset, your lifestyle, or your unhealthy habits of any kind can be challenging at best, and draining, difficult, and discouraging at worst if you don’t have a solid, long…

A Smarter Way To Hydrate

Water is so fundamental to our existence you wouldn’t think it would be so hard to remember to drink enough. But, like many others, I seem to defy logic and nature. I will forget to drink enough all day long and then at night I tend to guzzle it. So I recently started using this…

Reset to Amazing: Great, Better, and Best of Basic Nutrition

Happy, Healthy Wise Supplementing! We are coming to the close of National Nutrition Month and towards the end of our new Team RLEI Reset Program to Live Amazing, so it seems like a smart time to think about a foundational supplement program to stick with past the 100 Day period and into the future. “Just…

I learned about snacking the hard way

Snacking. Such a loaded word in my household. One always thinks picking things here and there out of the pantry as the day (and night in our case) unfolds isn’t really that big of a deal. A little of this, a little of that. Unfortunately, it..all..adds..up. And if you keep any of it in the home,…

Reset to Amazing: Before, During, & After, To A Healthily Ever After After

Happy Healthy Performance! Next week will be Week 12 of our new Team RLEI Reset Program to Live Amazing. And hopefully by now we are all eating lighter, drinking more water, breathing clearer, surrounding ourselves with less toxins, relieving our stress a little more, sleeping better, standing taller, and moving more without pain. Remember it’s…

Reset to Amazing: The Pain-Free Zone

Happy, Healthy Pain-free Living! This week is all about addressing and managing the aches and pains of life, from strains and sunburns to toothaches to migraines, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, psoriasis, shingles, neuropathy, and fibromyalgia even. You don’t have to pop (conventional) pills or tough it out. Medical doctors are increasingly turning to natural pain…

Grandma always said stand up straight!

And now she is. With the help of this posture brace. For those with poor posture, a posture support can help to improve posture by firmly pulling the shoulders back resulting in a taller, straighter spine. This is important to prevent gradual ‘hunching’ or ’rounding’ of the shoulders and upper back over time due to…

No Crystals, Lots Of Shells Though

This past weekend we took a trip to Crystal Cove State Park, California for a family trek to the beach there. We didn’t know what to expect since we’ve never been to this specific section of the coast, so we took the recommendation of the ranger at the Pelican Point parking lot entrance ($15 fee) and…

Reset to Amazing: Stand & Sit Up Straight

Happy, Healthy Alignment! This week is all about the musculoskeletal system-the bones of the skeleton, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissues that provide form, support, stability, and movement to the body. By now we know all about the 3 important “pillars” of diet, exercise, and emotional health, but a 4th pillar is…
