This is the first of a four-part Quick Hits series where we’ll dig deeper into each of our Core4 pillars. Up first is our beFIT pillar.

beFIT – Mike Lots of good memes out there relating to diets and a lot of truth to them too. There are many diets (or “lifestyles”) that are tough to maintain consistently…Whole 30, Keto, Atkins, Weight Watchers, etc. The key is finding what works for you. We recently had Dan Lemoine on our podcast who is the Clinic Director for … Read More

beFIT – Matt When I was a kid, I hung out in the kitchen a lot with my Mom. She was a great cook and I was able to pick up a few skills in the kitchen. Some weekends, I try to cook a few meals for the upcoming week. Laura appreciates it and I enjoy doing it. Recently, I … Read More
