Live Your Best Life
Advice, Tips, and Best Practices from Our Health Coaches and Wellness Partners
To celebrate the start of summer, we are using the heat of the sun to cool down and sharing two easy-to-make recipes of one of our most hydrating snacks: Chia Fresca. A Provenance staple and client favorite, our chefs share these chia fresca recipes for those missing out on our Clean Eating Programs and wanting to recreate the beverage at home.
With only a few weeks left of winter, we are preparing ourselves for the ceremonial spring clean. This is an important time of year for Provenance clients, as we focus not only on cleansing our surroundings, but our mind and bodies as well. In an effort to get back to basics and revive her energy, The Class Digital Producer and Teacher Courtney Deri participated in The Cleanse meal delivery program. Today, she shares how she overcame cravings and how the experience reset her system.
The microbiome is one of the most important ecosystems in your body. The bacteria in your gut that help us process foods and absorb nutrients are responsible for weight, mood, energy, and overall wellness. This amazing community of bacteria, also called “the second brain”, has an enormous effect on your sleep, skin, allergies, hormones, immunity, and more.
Want to supercharge your mood? Look at what you’re eating. Food is an important - but often overlooked - piece of the puzzle for managing stress. The food you eat can have a direct impact not just on things like anxiety, depression, or Seasonal Affective Disorder, but even on your everyday mood. Eliminating inflammatory ingredients like gluten, dairy, and sugar can be a great place to start, but you also need to be sure you’re getting adequate stress-busting nutrients.
Properly hydrating your body can address a plethora of health issues - from chronic headaches, brain fog, and fatigue to weight gain, gut issues, and autoimmune conditions. You’ve heard the age-old advice: Drink 8 glasses of water a day. But is that really the best way to hydrate your body? In this edition of our book club series, our Head of Client Wellness, Sarah Hebbel-Stone, turns to the latest read among wellness professionals, Quench.
The skin, lungs, kidney, colon and liver are your body’s main pathways of detoxification and elimination. Ideally, they are built to filter and remove waste from the body. But modern living - from pollution to a Standard American Diet - can clog these pathways, making it harder for your body to efficiently process waste. <strong>To support your body's natural detoxing process, we've designed a custom blended detox tea tonic.
One of our favorite wellness partners is CAP Beauty. They are our go-to location for natural beauty products and advice. This spring our chefs were excited to collaborate with CAP Beauty and shared an 'easy to make version' of our clean eats recipe for Matcha Chia Pudding exclusively with CAP Beauty on The Thinking Cap.
Spring is a time of new beginnings. Ice is thawing, seeds are germinating, and flowers are budding. And although it’s easy for New Yorkers to feel far removed from these aspects of the natural world, our physiology is still deeply tied to it. But how do we maximize this seasonal change and set our bodies up for a smooth transition?
