As we age, maintaining mobility and functionality becomes paramount for a fulfilling and active life. While we often focus on factors like joint health and flexibility, one crucial aspect that deserves attention is shoulder mobility. The ability to move your shoulders with ease may not seem significant, but it plays a vital role in everyday activities and overall well-being. In this article, we'll explore the importance of shoulder mobility as we age and provide tips on how to maintain and improve it.

Why Shoulder Mobility Matters:

1. Independence: Shoulder mobility is directly linked to our ability to perform daily tasks independently. From reaching for items on high shelves to getting dressed or grooming, mobile shoulders are essential for a self-sufficient life.

2. Pain Prevention: Stiff or immobile shoulders can lead to discomfort and pain, impacting your quality of life. Maintaining shoulder mobility helps prevent issues like frozen shoulder and rotator cuff injuries.

The average person I talk to has tried 3 to 7 weight loss programs. We don't have to struggle like this. But here is the kicker: this touches on how dangerous losing and regaining weight is. Lets get you to a place where you understand food, how it works, how your body works and why it matters.... and keep the weight off for good.

Losing and regaining body fat repeatedly, often referred to as "yo-yo dieting" or weight cycling, can have various effects on the body. While some people may experience weight fluctuations naturally throughout their lives, frequent and intentional weight cycling can have both short-term and long-term consequences. Here's what happens inside our bodies when we engage in this pattern:

Short-Term Effects:

Hi, friends!

By the grace of God I’m almost 59 and I’m healthy!
If you don’t know my story, here it is! I’m not sharing it to explain myself! (I promise you, at 58… I don’t give a second thought to your opinion of me! The beauty of getting older!!) I’m sharing it because with it I’ve been given the gift to help others get healthy.
I’m not jacked, I’m not ripped, I’m fit and I’m healthy! By a real definition of healthy, which I will explain!
At 49 I became type 2 diabetic , had IBS and terrible arthritic pain, and was Borderline Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, and I weighed 60 lbs. more than I weigh now! This happened even with having certifications in health and fitness since I was 18, and doing what I was told by my doctor...

The good news is... you don't have to memorize this, count calories, macros, points, or whatever the heck a lean is supposed to be!!

Genetics

I often hear from people… but it’s my genetics! Or… You must have great genes!

There has been a lot of research on this, and you don’t need pasta and wine because you’re Italian, just like you don’t need Kielbasa if you’re polish or schnitzel if you’re German! It is a choice, and often an excuse… trust me… I hear it all the time… “but I have to eat this, I’m _________!” What we have to do is decide to use food properly and eat healthfully! Then we can stop dieting for good! Trust me, being off that roller coaster feels amazing! So does no longer counting calories, macros, points or leans! 

What does the science show: Genetic markers only account for less than 3% of the body mass index between people. (1) And… The Fat Gene they now talk about, because everyone wants an excuse….(I even hear coaches talk about it, giving people an out…. cringe!!!) accounts...
