Collagen? In your hydration beverage? You betcha!  Why not get some extra amino acid goodness into your body at the end of a fierce workout – right when you need to hydrate too?!  It’s smart, it’s efficient and it’s delicious.  Now that’s what you call a wellness hack!

So by now most people have got the memo about sugary drinks. But what’ve we got now instead?  A whole bunch of drinks selling us the ‘no added sugar’ story by using nasty sweeteners like sucralose – or simply by using sugar by another name (yes we’re looking at you honey/dates/brown rice syrup/agave nectar/maple etc etc)

At the end of the day though, if you’re looking to seriously downsize sugar out of your life, none of those are gonna work.  If you want a plant-based sweetener that won’t spike your blood glucose, there are several good options, including organic stevia and organic erythritol. 

Yes plant based is good, we get it. But our ancient hunter-gatherer ancestors would have struggled to fulfil their protein and fat requirements if they’d relied on foraging alone. Instead, they made good use of animal protein whenever they could. Our bodies function smoothly on healthy fats and protein for fuel; and any requirement for glucose can be met by metabolizing protein via a process called gluconeogenesis.

So maybe – just maybe – it’s a smart human who makes sure they’re getting plenty of easily digestible amino acids in their daily diet. And fat, too. But that’s another story for another day.

It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn, it’s a new life…for you…and you’ll be feeling good! OK so maybe we can’t sing it like Nina did, but we love her spirit. We’re gonna OWN this day and we’re gonna LOVE our bodies, and we’re going to MAKE STUFF HAPPEN with our energy, starting RIGHT NOW! Come with us!!
