A or B?


Quiz question! What do you do when you are starting CrossFit the next day? A: Rest B: Test your 1RM (1 rep max, the heaviest weight you can lift for an exercise). If you answered A, you’re smart! If you answered B, you’re me! I couldn’t decide whether to follow my workout plan (which I haven’t been following) or make something up for my Sunday workout. So I decided to make it up, and test my maxes for my core lifts (squat, deadlift and bench). I figured ‘Hey, I’m starting something new tomorrow, probably should know my starting point, right?’ Off I went. Overall I was happy with what I tested at, I am back to my strength that I had around the summer time, before I got kept having relapses. My squat was 100 lbs, deadlift 110 lbs and bench 70 lbs. The 70 lb bench was actually a PR, go me!
CrossFit yesterday went pretty well too. I’m just starting the ‘on-ramp’ classes, or the intro classes at the beginning. In these the instructor teaches you each lift and how to do it correctly. Even though I have a solid background in lifting, I still benefited a ton from the first class. The first exercise covered was the squat. I was able to pick up a few new cues that will help me over all, and I was able to do an overhead squat (even though it was with a 9oz PVC pipe, I still consider it a win). With my hip mobility lacking, this was a big deal for me, and a lift I was worried about. We finished up with a W.O.D (Workout Of the Day) that consisted of 20 sit ups, 15 front squats (the bane of my existence) and 10 pushups, AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) for 6 minutes. It wasn’t a killer for me, but it got me warm!
Wednesday is hip hinge day, so deadlifts and kettlebells, it’s going to be my most favorite day!! Clearly looking forward to it, as I live for deadlifting. I’ll keep ya posted 😉

I’M ALISSA!

I help women who have also been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis make specific and personalized diet, lifestyle & subconscious changes so that they can begin to heal their body, reduce disease symptoms, and return to a life they love.hey there,

follow along on Instagram:

I get it..

It seems like it would be good.

Because others around you are taken care of..
Because others around you feel good..
Because others around you are happy..

But what about you??

In reality, that’s just making it harder for you to help yourself heal and probs making your MS symptoms worse.

I’ve worked with so many people with MS and autoimmune disease… 1 thing (among many) that they all have in common is a habit of putting others before themselves, saying yes way too much and forgetting about what they want themselves.

Feel a little called out?
Then my course Embodied Resilience is for you.

This is a course all about managing + improving your stress tolerance- since stress is the number 1 trigger of symptom flares and relapses

And- it’s on sale for Black Friday!!
Comment SALE below and I’ll send you the link!!

✨Moving your body✨

Notice I didn’t say exercise, although yes that also helps.

Stress hormones can get stuck in our bodies, our cells, our muscle tissue for various reasons.

Making it super easy for us to carry stress around with us- which shows up often as:

Pain
Tension
Trouble breathing
Difficulty with balance

It’s no coincidence that these are often prominent MS symptoms too. Sometimes it’s hard to tell where effects of MS end and effects of stress begin.

Being able to offload accumulated stress is key to being able to improve MS symptoms.

My course Embodied Resilience shows you exactly how to do this, and it’s gonna be on sale for Black Friday.

I’ve seen myself and tons of clients through behavior change to help improve their MS + autoimmune disease symptoms.

There are SO MANY things that can help us.

But the one I’ve seen move the needle the most?

Working on your mindset and stress management tools.

We can change our diet
Change how we move 
Change the products we’re using
Change the supplements we take..

But if we’re still in the high stress state that most of us are in.. all those will only go so far.

Stress is my biggest symptom trigger, and 99% of my clients feel the same.

My biggest course sale is coming Black Friday, included is my course Embodied Resilience, all about learning how to actually manage stress- so you’re not constantly battling MS flares too.

My email list is gonna get first dibs..

I think 90% of my clients have talked about already feeling the shift to Fall and Winter hardddd.

They are worried about seasonal depression coming back with a vengeance, feeling sad summer is gone and so many other things.

I know when so many feel the same way, you might too.
I know I feel this way too.

I’m working with them to put habits in place NOW that will support them through the winter months.

Here are 2 small shifts we talked about this week:

1. Get sunlight into your eyeballs as soon as you can in the morning.☀️☀️

Ideally this is outside, there will be many science bro’s out there telling you that anything else “doesn’t count” but I say that’s BS.
Yes, the sunlight will have a greater impact if you’re viewing outside, but even if you’re behind a window it will do something.

2. Move your body!! 💃🏃‍♀️

The change in seasons to colder weather makes it super easy to hibernate and move wayyy less than we were in the summer.
I know I’ve been guilty of that this week and it’s showing in my sleep.
But moving our bodies can be so helpful for regulating so many things in our bodies.
Ideally you’re moving in the morning, but again- any time of day will do. 

These are 2 small shifts that can make it easier for your body to transition to, and live with the Winter months.

Let’s crowdsource… what else helps you in winter?? 
I know there are many other things that can!!
