Fit Plan Foundations – Checklist

March 15, 2023 by Maria Sogard Leave a Comment

Welcome to a BRAND new series to empower and level up your health and well being.

“Fit Plan Foundations”- 10 building blocks for longevity.

Building Block #1 – Stability

Fit Plan Foundations Building Block #1: Stability

When your have a shaky foundation, anything can derail you or send you crashing and burning.

You wouldn’t invest a ton of time, money, and resources to build your house on a weak foundation.

The same must be true for your health and well being.

Building Block #2: Structure

connotations, there’s many positive benefits of embracing a solid structure:

✅ getting it done
✅ sticking with it
✅ remaining motivated
✅ being focused
✅ making progress in your wellness journey

Learn more about the second building block of a sound fitness plan with VFit Studio’s Fit Plan Foundations 10 part series.

Today, trainer Maria breaks down the second building block of Foundations.

Building Block #3: Convenience

Trainer Lindsay popped in from her vacation spot in Florida to share why it’s important for your fitness plan to be convenient:

– commute factor (time to get there, process of getting there, excuse factor)

– kids, family, home – can sometimes not be easy to leave it to make it to the gym

– travel – can take fitness family with you while on the road

– consistency – able to stay with your workouts because you can take them with you through travel and different seasons with life, can easily login no matter what is going on in the day or even how you are feeling, this is important for mental and physical health to have stability and structure

Building Block #4: Effective

Today Lauren pops in after 45 minute barefoot shred and stretch.

Building block today is about the effectiveness of workouts.

👇 What makes a workout EFFECTIVE?

Is the time and effort you are putting into your workout giving you the results you are looking for?

Can you go do the things in life you want to do? Are you feeling good? Feeling good energy? Chase your kids around? Hike a mountain?

✨ We are training for every day life so you can do the things you love for the long term.✨

For VFitters and our members, we have limited time. We want to have the biggest bang for your buck so you can get in a solid workout in 30 minutes, depending on format and its purpose.

Lauren was initially skeptical about how effective our online workouts can be. She turned into an instant believer in the effectiveness of our workouts and hasn’t stepped foot in a gym since she joined us.

Building Block #5: Fun

VFit trainer Janelle sharing from White Mountains of Bishop, California after a 4 mile outdoor run.

Today we are sharing about Fit Plan Foundation Block #5 which is FUN.

There’s SO many ways to bring in fun into your fitness routine and your daily life!

You can take your workouts outside, maybe push yourself to do something a little uncomfortable at first (like take a dance class) and stretch out of your comfort zone.

Think for a moment … who do you have fun with? Who brings more fun to your life?

We find that those who have fitness partners tend to be more consistent and have a whole lot more fun doing the workouts together.

When looking at longevity, you want to be doing things that are fun and that you look forward to doing. This helps you maintain consistency so you don’t cycle through big bursts and then bottom out and get out of shape and lose all your progress.

You can add fun into your fitness through celebrating more. You can celebrate birthdays, personal milestones, hitting goals. You name it.

At VFit we look and look and look for ways to add more fun in! As adults we tend to not celebrate much, but here at VFit we do as much as possible to bring in a bunch of fun into our classes, programs and routines. Every week we have multiple celebration classes to honor our members’ birthdays and milestones and our trainers look forward to specially crafting these workouts for our teammates.

If you aren’t getting the desired results you want in your workout plan, burnt out or injured, maybe something needs to change.

Over the course of 2 weeks, we’re sharing a total of TEN vital building blocks that we believe your fitness foundation should be built on.

You’ll get a checklist to follow along and see where you may need to rebuild some blocks.

We also invite you over onto the VFit team.  We have some amazing membership specials and you are never locked in a contract – just ask if you are interested and we’ll personally reach out to get you set up for success!

Stay tuned as we release the remaining items on the checklist over the next two weeks.  We have many members of our trainer team chiming in and they are so excited to kick off this series and share some of their expertise with you.

Passion and Purpose Project: Episode 3

February 25, 2023 by Maria Sogard Leave a Comment

Episode #3 of the Purpose & Passion project is one hour of your life that will change your perspective forever about what it means to TRIUMPH. 

Rachele sat down with VFitter Sarah Z from Oregon and had a heartfelt, honest, and tear jerking talk about Sarah’s story through health issues and her perseverance and positive perspective.

Even before Sarah was born, the odds were against her. But what her story proves, and continues to prove each day, is that inner strength and a positive attitude trumps over darkness along with a strong community of support and love.

Sarah’s tests in life are now her testament.

She’s taken lessons learned in her life and her wellness journey and supports others as a health coach as she follows her passion for educating and empowering others.

We hope you enjoy tuning in and are able to take away nuggets of hope, inspiration, and strength from Sarah’s journey. Thank you for continuing to support the Passion and Purpose Project.

Passion and Purpose Project: Episode 2

February 2, 2023 by Maria Sogard Leave a Comment

Welcome to The Purpose & Passion Project. Enjoy Episode 2 in this series as we embrace this new chapter of spreading light and inspiration with this special heartfelt interview with trainer Lindsay M.

Everyone has a story. No story is insignificant, or without lessons and inspiration. When we share our journeys, we can help each other.

For Episode 2, I interviewed trainer Lindsay M who opened up and shared with us about her journey from sobriety to breast cancer to becoming a wife, mom and fitness trainer. Lindsay and Rachele’s conversation on this journey touched so many already and we hope that as you take time to listen, you too find nuggets that you can relate to and use to empower your own path.

Opening up and sharing our stories is what shining your light means – to share your gifts, your strengths, your struggles……to Live ON Purpose.

While this isn’t a “traditional” podcast, we are using the infrastructure we have in place at VFit, and have opened these up for all to join.

I know deep in my heart that the people who need to hear these stories, will find them and my purpose is to get them out through all the channels we have built over the years.

Enjoy this vulnerable share on Lindsay’s journey of .

Welcome to The Purpose & Passion Project. The next dimension of VFit. Enjoy Episode 1 as we kick off this new chapter of spreading light and inspiration.

Going into 2023, PURPOSE and PASSION are 2 of my words. Once I set that clarity, I got a clear calling that in 2023 I am to empower others to share their stories.

Everyone has a story. No story is insignificant, or without lessons and inspiration. When we share our journeys, we can help each other.

That is what shining your light means – to share your gifts, your strengths, your struggles……to Live ON Purpose.

So this month I launched episode 1 of my new project – The Passion & Purpose Project – with my dear friend and fellow VFit Trainer Lauren.

While this isn’t a “traditional” podcast, we are using the infrastructure we have in place at VFit, and have opened these up for all to join.

I know deep in my heart that the people who need to hear these stories, will find them and my purpose is to get them out through all the channels we have built over the years.

Enjoy this vulnerable share on Lauren’s journey of chasing goals, doors closing, doors opening and reaching a milestone she had worked incredibly hard for.

Birthday Reflections & Gratitude

December 6, 2022 by Maria Sogard Leave a Comment

Rachele here, to say THANK YOU you all for joining me on Super Saturday, 12/3 as I celebrated my birthday. To be able to share willPower on my birthday was TRULY special.

The great thing about getting older, is getting wiser and more in tune with the important things in life.

Click here to access the full replay of class.

Sweaty selfie shot during Super Saturday’s birthday class

I chose the opportunity of my birthday willPower class to weave in life lessons learned this past year into class, broken into five different themes and songs that have touched my heart.

Birthdays are a powerful time to reflect on a year of personal growth and take into account all the experiences of the previous 12 months.

Below I recap these top 5 lessons and songs I shared of this past year. I hope that by sharing, it helps you see lessons in your own life and opportunities to grow and reflect.

1. Honor and see the strengths in yourself and others.

We all are born with special gifts and strengths. Look for that within yourself and see that specialness in others. It is a good thing that we are all unique.

We are so quick to see where we are lacking or comparing ourselves to others. The truth is we are ALL unique, amazing and have a special gift to share with the world.

Seek the gold God put in you to align closer with living out your purpose.

Song: “This is Me” by Keala Settle, The Greatest Showman Ensemble, Dave Aude

2. Be proud to be “a work in progress”.

Deep self work, having coaches/mentors, prayer, meditation, listening to the whispers – it is all such important work. Being a work in progress can be HARD, it gets uncomfortable and tough at times, but it is some of the most important work we can do.

Apologize if you aren’t working on your progress!

I invested more time and money in my personal and professional growth than ever over the last year and it transpired into my biggest year of growth in so many areas. What you plant and water, will grow, choose wisely those seeds you are planting.

Song: “Priceless” by KING & COUNTRY

3. Protect and celebrate your energy/spirit.

It is vitally important who you are around and what energy/influence you let into your life. The last few years have gifted us a beautiful and once in a lifetime opportunity to really uncover the essence of who and what matters most in your life.

Guard yourself to the negative influences out there, but don’t stay so guarded that you dim your own light from shining to others.

Song: “Joy” by KING & COUNTRY

4. FAITH over fear!

I have never felt so connected to God and it feels SO good.

Pray hard and listen even harder. The whispers are quiet, but so much more powerful than fear, doubt and ego can ever be.

This year I prayed, journaled, and read a devotional every single day. That stuff is life changing. Handing over any fear, anxiety, control and surrendering to a higher power is magical.

Song: “Reason” by Unspoken

5. Live ON Purpose!!

This mantra hit me like a ton of bricks in October and will serve as our VFit Mantra for 2023. Wake up each day and live your life ON purpose.

What are your core values, your non-negotiables, your to-be list that you want to show up and serve this world as!!

Song – “This Could Change Everything” by Francesca Battistelli

Thank you again for helping me celebrate another trip around the sun, and for our VFit community which has helped me live out my passion for self care through our platform.

It’s truly an honor and one I hold dearly each and every day. I’m so thankful to get to live our my purpose, to spread light and optimism and to share this legacy with my family through the years.

Here is to another bright and powerful trip around the sun!

Love Your Heart

October 13, 2022 by Maria Sogard Leave a Comment

Cardio is Hardio But Here’s Why it’s Important to Not Skip

This morning I delivered a VFitFest #7 special event class, 6AM PST, called Love Your Heart Cardio Blast.

The idea with Love Your Heart was to serve double duty during our live session, by delivering an epic 30 minute cardio workout, and also educate everyone on the importance of cardio and the different training zones.

(YOU can do the full workout replay here)

The Four Cardio Training Zones Broken Down

Training ZoneMetabolic MarkerRPE
Rate of Perceived Effort (1-10)
DescriptionMyzone Range

Can only get out short phrases
High Greens/Yellow
4Above VT29-10Super hard to maximal effort
Basically just grunts or single words
Red
An overview of heart rate training zones and corresponding RPE (rate of perceived effort) and Myzone training zones

Your Ventilatory Threshold

This biomarker, VT for short, is your ventilatory threshold. This helps measure is your intensity in terms of your breathing during a workout, and denotes when lactate starts building up in your bloodstream.

VT1 is when your body is burning equal parts fats and carbs as fuel. This is also when your aerobic system is working for you.

VT2 is that point in your workout when glucose becomes the main source of energy for your body. This also is the phase where you enter anaerobic training.

Workout like your life depends on it, because it does.

Maria Sogard
By using wearables, Myzone on left and WHOOP on right, heart rate data displayed shows the impact of the Love Your Heart Edition of Cardio Blast held in VFit Studio on October 13th in honor of our 7th birthday week led by me earlier today.

Benefits of Getting Your Cardio On

While prepping for the Love Your Heart edition of my Cardio Blast class, I went through several studies, course documents from my NASM personal training course, and blogs on the myriad benefits of cardiovascular training.

Some of the TOP benefits of Cardio:

  • ❤️ Increase blood flow and lowers blood pressure by helping increase good cholesterol and lowering bad cholesterol
  • ❤️ Helps regular blood sugar and reduce risk of diabetes
  • ❤️ Improve circadium rhythm, sleep patterns, lung capacity, energy levels
  • ❤️ Boost brain health by slowing tissue loss, improving memory, and increasing executive function which helps us organize, interpret, and take action
  • ❤️ Aid in lowering RHR (resting heart rate) which in turn improves efficiency of the heart in pumping blood through the body
  • ❤️ Decrease the following: risk of stroke and heart disease, depression symptoms, and stress

While this list is not exhaustive, it likely may shed some light on some areas you may be surprised to see.

What I hope is that this post and workout helps you rethink wanting to skip on your cardio each week.

VFit 7th Birthday Preview Week

October 3, 2022 by Maria Sogard Leave a Comment

VFit 7th Birthday VFitFest
Come join us as we celebrate 7 years of VFit’s Community, Connection & Convenience

Day One

Next week, VFit’s turning 7 and we are throwing an epic 7 day fit fest with open doors to all to come join.

7 days, 7 years of evolution of our passion for wellness for the whole self.

Check in here each day as we add on to our roundup of our top fit tools we’ve used as we have grown to where we are today.

First up, Rachele is up sharing the story of VFit … tune in to learn more of the story about how the studio started.

Through the past 7 years, VFit is there for our community – no matter what. Your health and wellbeing matters through every season of life.

Next up, our Wellness Wheel for Day 2. Stay tuned.

Day Two

Today we are starting to roll out some of the wellness tools we’ve created to help our VFit community members live fuller lives. The Wellness Wheel brings together our entire concept of total mind, body, and spirit health and provides a realtime snap shot as needed when you go through this activity.

VFit Studio Wellness Wheel Update 2022
VFit Studio Wellness Wheel click here to download the worksheet to complete this activity.

How well can your “Wellness Wheel” spin in your current state of life? At VFit, it is a core value that to live a life of quality, you need a well balanced “Wellness Wheel” that can rotate evenly and propel you forward. 

Our VFit “Wellness Wheel” addresses 8 specific areas of health and well being that we believe are imperative  to have in balance. The good news is that many can be filled at the same time, through small daily habits and awareness of your actions.

If you’re feeling off balance in life, overwhelmed, anxious,  in a funk, or like you are literally spinning in place, more than likely one or more of the “Pillars” are running on empty –  or maybe even empty. 
We’ve designed this powerful, yet simple exercise below. It’s meant to examine where you are at RIGHT NOW in your life when it comes to each Pillar.  This is a great place to come back to on a weekly or monthly basis.  Just as the seasons of life change, so will the balance of your Wellness Wheel.

Day Three

Today is hump day, which is called so because it’s midweek and the day of the workweek that seems to drag … on … forever.

Why so?

Because of the monotony of most peoples’ lives. NOT the case with VFitters!

We follow a functional approach to fitness, with over 30 class formats and emphasize our tool called the FUNctional Fitness Plan for members to ensure they are getting in all four major categories of fitness each week:

  • Cardio/HIIT
  • Strength
  • Mobility/Balance
  • Stretching Recovery

We have as a free download our FUNctional Fitness Plan you can use as a VFitter, or general public, and throw in the workouts you are doing each week and see how your current plan ‘fits in.’ If you find you are missing out on any particular category, see what you can do to add it in. You can always join us for that format, too!

Day Four

Day 4 with sharing as part of our preparty week for our 7th birthday and this ONE exercise (that’s not gonna make you sweat at all!) is the bees knees if you ask us.

You know those rare moments in life that you can look back and pinpoint a certain decision, action, or realization that absolutely rocked you and change the course of your life, for better or worse?

Well this right here is one that personally affected trainer Maria – who has shared her VFit swag collection up above as part of International VFit Swag Day – for the way better.

Here it is, and we have to give a shoutout to trainer Kristyna for bringing up this exercise recently to our community.  It’s not done enough if you ask us, personally or worldwide, but should be requisite for all.

VFit Studio Swag Through the Years

What is your WHY?

You can start by asking yourself a general why question that relates to you.

For example,

Why am I not exercising?

Once you answer your first why…you ask why again, and again, and again.

For each ‘why answer’ you ask again until you hit 7.

7 is the magic number and 7 really does uncover some deep hidden truths that you may have not realized were sitting there in plain site.

For Maria, her first time doing this Why Exercise was with the very first VFit Squad Reset.  That’s not a typo, before there was VFit Studio, there was VFit Squad.  The resets all began before VFit Studio and are actually why VFit Studio exists.  It’s all about the pillars of wellness and adapting an additive holistic approach to your self care.  (We’re actually running an epic version of the Resets soon, we’ll share details once we are all done partying for our birthday week but stay tuned!).

The question was simple, why did you sign up for this reset?
First answer, to get healthy. Then why, why, why, why, why, why, and the final why…

Maria realized she grew up with so much anxiety for the health of her family that she didn’t want to raise her own young kids to have that same inner turmoil.  She wanted to take charge of her health and do all that she could, and then some, to ensure that she was being healthy for herself so she could live a happy, long life with her kids where they didn’t worry about her health.

Maria continues on with this memory of her inner why exericse over 8 years later and we hope this one if you choose to do it today helps you also uncover something special in you to help take some action.

Day Five

Day 5 here with our preparty and we figure it was ’bout time we got to the deets of what VFit Studio is up to each day.

Next week is gonna be bonkers with over 20 special events and classes to celebrate our birthday. 

If you haven’t claimed your complimentary class pass yet for the week, do so now here.

But the week AFTER the major festivities, we’ll be back to ‘VFit normal’ and we’ve loaded up each day’s schedule for you Monday through Friday up above.  Tomorrow we’ll share more on each format but for today, we wanted to give the big visual.

What happens on the weekend?

Well more VFit, of course!

We have a lighter schedule on the weekends but many members are able to get in a workout, or two, or three each weekend too. 

Click here to view full schedule & book live VFit Studio online fitness classes

Day 6

The Core Values of VFit Studio have stood the test of time, 7 years strong!

Down to the core, VFit is the above.  It’s roots run deep and have not waivered, only strengthened, these last seven years.  We’ve never been here to chase fads, drop pounds, or make millions.  We’re here to honor the above, still taped on Rachele’s computer with the same ol’ tape she used right at the very beginning, 7 years later. 

7 years and it’s the same core values we honor with each live class, each program, each challenge, and each post.  

 

“Years ago I wrote out these core values for VFit. 

They sit on my desk for me to look at each day.

Core values are your GPS system, your North Star, a check list against which you should make important and tough decisions.

I choked up in class this morning sharing this list. 

I’m proud that through the last 7 years, my team has not wavered from this list! 

Serving our community from our hearts always will be our top value. 

It often times means we do things the longer and harder way, but nothing can replace true human connection and doing the hard work.”

Shares Rachele from earlier today right after leading willPower Method in Super Saturday

Tomorrow is our FINAL DAY of our preparty … then the real fun begins, with each live class all week long! If you haven’t claimed your complimentary pass to VFitFest7, please click here to claim yours.

The Benefits of a Mastermind

June 21, 2022 by Maria Sogard Leave a Comment

VFit Community

MASTERMIND.

Here at VFit Studio we believe in health for the whole self: mind, body, and spirit. We deliver functional workouts over 70 times a week and these connect us with in real time with our team.

For an enhanced membership experience, to bring connection even further, we also have opportunities for our community members to join Mastermind groups. These groups are formed based on different program or membership experiences and help our members engage, learn, and lean on one another in a variety of program formats and options.

The Mastermind group opportunities we have for our members include:

  • VFit Connect – year round enhanced membership experience with includes 2 weekly community corner sessions a week, a monthly wellness workshop, and monthly manifest Monday meditation session
  • Ascent – a 100 day challenge that runs in the late winter/early spring that connects teams of 10-15 together with a wellness coach to work together to hold one another accountable in working towards personal goals
  • 6 Month Challenge + Holiday Hustle – accountabilty challenges based on either 6 months or from Halloween to New Years, that brings together small groups of VFitters along with wellness coaches to work on check in goals and team building. Spoiler alert … In 2022, we will host our first Holiday Hustle!

We continue to work to find new ways to bring together smaller groups of our community to foster more connections and bring together shared experiences.

Below, we have all the letters that spell out mastermind explained and use our CONNECT membership enchancement as a basis to give more concrete examples of how each part of a mastermind benefits the members that are a part of it.

M

MENTORSHIP –  Having mentors around you is going to keep pulling you upwards.

Each of us is a master at something.

During our CONNECT sessions, we we are able to share our expertise with one another and learn from others .

You can find a mentor in so many areas of life through CONNECT, and you can be a mentor to others.

Chance are if you are facing something big or small, someone on the CONNECT team has already navigated those waters and can help you learn from their lessons and experience.

A

ACTION – if you are not a part of a group aligned with similar values, chance are at some point you won’t take action and will get stale or stuck.

You need the right support team to be by your side to keep you in ACTION.

This is part of this year’s mantra.  Action.  Are you putting in the work for your goals?

Your CONNECT team is here year round to keep you accountable, taking action towards you goals and dreams.

S

SUPPORT – CONNECT offers a big added level of support and structure, that is consistently there year round to hold you up.

A mastermind is your safe place to bring your challenges and let others in to help you find solutions.

The support in CONNECT is through the VFit trainer team AND other members of this mastermind and something you can count on in this add-on membership experience.

T

TEAM – Take it to the next level with a smaller group that is your TEAM.  Your go-to group that you can rely on and know you can connect with twice a week, plus two live specialty monthly sessions.

What you get out of the team experience is what you put in!  This goes two ways.

There’s a huge benefit to leaning into teams and growing together.  A rising tide brings up all ships, and this team is your tide to help you up-level your health and well being all year round.

E

EXCELLENCE – We aren’t talking about aiming for perfection here, but honoring progress.

Continuing to work on yourself and honoring that work in progress you are.

Without being a part of a group who are sharing goals with each other, there’s a tendency for excuses to start piling up and many of us can slide back into old, familiar habits, losing ground on personal goals and development.

R

RESULTS –  A lot of the results and reward in working towards a goal are all those incremental steps you took to get there.

Think of hitting a large goal like running a marathon.  Don’t imagine and celebrate the end result of yourself just during actual race, but picture yourself pushing through each moment, each practice run, to keep going.  Even showing up on the days when you just don’t want to.

That push, those mini-wins along the way, all add up to your end result and those pivotal moments are all something to be celebrated as benchmarks you’ve set out for yourself.

M

MANIFESTATION – Whether you believe in manifesting and bringing your vision to life or not, hear us out.  There is real power in this – it’s called the power of attraction.

Our brains are powerful beyond belief and help you connect the dots once you start putting your dreams out there.  When we are in tune and alignment with our dreams, it’s 10,000X more times more likely to happen.

Having a group to support you, to share your dreams with, to push through with, to help you believe in YOU – is so important.

I

INSPIRATION – We all need extra inspiration at times.  Whether you have hit a slump or bump in your road, having people around you that can help you when you are needing the extra inspo is huge asset.

Looking for a new book? New job? Taking on a new project at the kids school? Getting through a funk?

Masterminds can help you grow your inspo tank as well, by bringing fresh ideas, support, and to lend a hand.  Share it and let your inspiration grow and take shape.

N

NETWORKING – Not in the traditional, salesy sense, but in working in a deeper level with people who have been through similar trials and tribulations you have been through.

Connecting through shared experiences to hep cope with grief, tackle the transition from working life to retirement, to the everyday demands of life.

Those with shared expertise or going through similar life events are a big component of the mastermind.  Connecting virtually or in person with one another is made possible through the group.

Networking together helps you know more people and possibly explore new places to build deeper relationships.  Whether it is new career paths, new friendships, or learning how to build stronger family ties.

This is a special network for you to be a part of and grow, to lean on if you need one, and to help you expand your comfort zone.

D

DEVELOPMENT – You are never so good at something, that there’s no room to grow and improve.

Working on personal development gives you something to look forward to and new goals to stride for.

Personal and professional development opportunities are part of the mastermind experience.

Monthly workshops are crafted to help you grow each month and weekly sessions provide opportunity for spontaneous sharing of resources and connections.

Sharing our expertise, giving you resources and material to help you grow and develop is at the heart of a mastermind.

First Friday’s Wellness Cafe Round Up: The Kinetic Chain and Posture, How to Stop Body Bashing, and Marma Points

June 3, 2022 by Maria Sogard Leave a Comment

The Wellness Cafe at VFit Studio has been in full swing this spring with two excellent sessions held in May and June.

In May, Lauren and Maria hosted the Wellness Cafe with insights on the following two areas:

  • the kinetic chain and posture led by Maria, sharing insights on functional movement and body balance and imbalances and how to work to correct them
  • how to stop body bashing with Lauren with insightful prompts and tips on how to combat this negative self talk led by Lauren

Slides

After the presentations, there was an excellent live session discussion focused on negative self talk, thank you all who attended for sharing and we will bring this topic back in the future for round 2.

In June, Shari led as a guest host in the cafe with a conversation and presentation on marma points. She led us through a thorough presentation and why these areas on our body are important then we went through the top 10 marma points together. This was an eye opening and powerful exercise and a great introduction to this concept which was new to many of us in attendance.

Misa is passionate about helping kids find joy in exploring eating a wide variety of foods and shared her personal story of what led her to create Misa’s Clean Kitchen as we began the cafe. Her youngest daughter was diagnosed with failure to thrive which led Misa down a path of exploration and deciation to better understand the impact that food choices made on our bodies. She went on to become a certified nutrition coach and open Misa’s Clean Kitchen to share her new knowledge with others.
