Amid battling depression and dissatisfaction with my job, I turned to Adam Bee for guidance during a challenging phase of my life.

When I pivoted careers, I reached out to those who helped me along my journey. One of the key figures I had the privilege of interviewing my colleague turned friend, Cindy Gordon –– we worked together at Policygenius. She was the former Chief People Officer and was instrumental in my development. Back in January 2021, feeling stuck, I reached out to Cindy, contemplating whether pursuing an MBA was right for me. Her attentive listening and thought-provoking questions helped me realize that my true calling lay in health and wellness.

When I pivoted careers, I reached out to those who helped me along my journey. As you can imagine, jumping into a new unknown job is scary, especially for someone like me who harbors a fear of falling (a personal challenge I'm actively working on with the help of my therapist 😬). So, I took this opportunity to interview my past and current coaches to get their perspectives on my transformation. I want to share these perspectives on my journey to inspire and encourage others contemplating taking the leap.

Proper post-workout nutrition is vital to maximize gains and prevent muscle soreness. Eating the right foods after a workout helps the body to repair and recover. According to the American Council on Exercise, "Post-workout nutrition is essential to maximize gains and prevent muscle soreness." After a workout, the best foods to eat are lean protein sources such as chicken, fish, tofu, and lentils and carbohydrates like sweet potatoes, quinoa, and brown rice. Healthy fats like avocado, nuts, and olive oil help reduce inflammation and absorb essential vitamins and minerals. Finally, hydration is critical, so drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workout. Remember to consume these foods within the optimal time window of 30 minutes to an hour after exercising for maximum benefits.

MyFitnessPal or the hand-portion method? Which one is better for tracking your nutrition? Well, it depends on what you prefer.

Either way, consistency is key, and finding a nutrition-tracking method that works for you is essential. And if you need help finding that balance, I got your back with guidance on nutrition, exercise, and budget-friendly recipes. So, choose your method and start tracking!
