My 7 week shred with Hybrid Gym is officially over, and I ended up dropping from 33% body fat to 27% body fat, a 20% decrease! 🥳 While it started with a 2 week elimination diet followed by 1 week of Nutrition Kitchen meals, there was a 1 week break of nonstop indulgence for Lunar …

5 Fresh & Easy 5 ingredient Summer Salad Recipes
There comes a point during the summer where slaving away in front of a hot stove or oven has ZERO appeal.

DIY Blueprint Cleanse – Homemade Juice & Smoothie Cleanse
I had the absolute pleasure of having my wisdom teeth surgically removed on Friday night. Since I wouldn’t be able to eat solid foods and I was in enough pain as it is, I figured, why not inflict even more torture on myself by going on a juice cleanse! All joking aside, being forced to …
