Thankfully, I've never been one to feel as though I let stress bog me down. Now, that's not to say that I don't get stressed but I have always been a person that seems to handle stress well. When I'm really bugging, I try to return to my breath and…

Hi Raechel, I noticed that you're based in Minnesota. If you're looking to step up your toning/strength training, I highly recommend checking out a Yoga Sculpt class at CorePower Yoga. Yoga Sculpt is a mix of weight training (think basic curls, squa…

I've been meat free for over 10 years (strictly vegan for the last two) and while my family is still pretty clueless about my lifestyle, they are slowly coming around. I usually eat something ahead of time and I'm always sure to bring a salad or som…

Hey all! I'm new to this group, so if you've already received hundreds of raw hemp milk recipes, I apologize. This morning, I decided to replace water in my Vega optimizer smoothie with raw hemp milk I made the night before. I usually like the Natur…

My favorite yoga pose changes often, but I've always loved half-pigeon. It's challenging, reflective and is one of the many poses that represents the gentle balance of strength, flexibility and focus that yoga requires.

Thriving in Chicago, Pt. 3

As I mentioned in previous blogs, I'm doing the Thrive in 30 vegan diet challenge with a group of friends. They've all agreed to share info about their lifestyle, eating habits and experiences. This week's spotlight is on professional badass Heather Crosby.

Heather grew up on a horsefarm in Maryland, and post-college in 1998, she sold her truck and moved to Chicago with half a job and one month's rent to her name. Being brave has paid off and ChiTown has been good to her. It is her home now. So… Continue

Last week, I wrote about being vegan and why I decided to do the Thrive in 30 Challenge with a few friends. Now it's time to hear from them. First up is acupuncturist Lisa Reichert. I asked Lisa to participate because I knew she could provide a Traditional Chinese Medicine take on Brazier's The Thrive Diet.

Lisa Reichert, Jill-of-all-Trades, primarily rebalances the whole self with Oriental Medicine with a nutritional bent. Though her background in art therapy, depth psychology, counseling and… Continue

Thriving in Chicago

I love October. As the month comes to a close, I'm finally finding the structure and balance in my workout and diet that colder temps bring.

I'm doing the lululemon and CorePower yoga challenge, taking fun classes at H.E.R.O. Fitness and trying new studios all around town. Needless to say, I'm a very active person and I need a lot of energy to keep going. Most people are surprised to find out I don't eat meat or drink caffeine, but to me it just makes sense. See I'm a really active person and I… Continue

Hey Maya!
I just read your blog post on Thrive in 30! Thank you so much for sharing this. So thrilled to see that you enjoyed the program. Also wanted to let you know that Brendan is coming to Chicago in mid November as part of his speaking and book tour. I'll be sure to post details for the events soon but wanted to give you a heads up too!
Cheers,
Kelly
