“Its not just what you wear, but how you live, and what you surround yourself with.” Ralph Lauren

by Tanya Freisler | July 2019


Yes, a fashion icon quote!

I know that this quote embodies his brand and product, however I believe it!!


Let’s change it……… Its not just how you train or how you look, but how you live, and what you surround your self with. That’s it isn’t it? We are more more than macros, body fat percentage and how much we can lift.


Our mind is incredibly powerful. Our perceptions and thoughts shape our reality, often in ways we aren’t consciously aware of. That’s why input, like nutrition, has to be of a high quality.


Emotion is much easier to change than a belief and beliefs shape our reality. 

Perhaps the biggest influence on my fitness and nutrition journey came with the birth of my son.

Etienne’s different abilities began at birth- born 8 weeks premature with underdeveloped lungs along with a million other complications.

There were frequent hospitalizations, then the diagnoses began, speech disability, PDD, Global developmental delay, Autism and finally moderate intellectual disability. I was told…….


HE WILL NEVER READ, WRITE, NEVER HAVE A JOB OR BE ABLE TO LIVE LIFE UNASSISTED

His entire system was inflamed affecting his body and brain. I decided to maximize his nutritional intact. As he healed and developed his nutrition requirements changed.


When you become aware of how you feel in your body and its function, its clear that you must adjust the fuel as your body changes. Whatever we choose to put into our bodies and our minds has an enormous effect on how we develop.


Choose what brings you joy, and follow your passion. Remember, it’s your life, you decide, stand strong in your choices. Know that you are not alone, find your tribe. [like-minded individuals]
