🌱 Kava kava is an extract from the root of a pl 🌱 Kava kava is an extract from the root of a plant native to the Pacific Islands. The root and stump of the plant are ground down into a beverage or supplement and evokes a sense of relaxation when consumed. There are different varieties of kava that evoke more of certain effects. Some varieties may be better for promoting a positive mood and socializing and others may help more as a sleep aid. Islanders have used kava extracts for centuries as a part of social events, religious ceremonies and for medicinal purposes. It’s common to find that regular kava use may be deleterious on the liver but allegedly almost all of the negative effects occurred in individuals using kava daily while taking certain drugs or medications as well. If you’re an otherwise healthy individual, it appears safe to use kava regularly and especially if only used on occasion. ☝️I personally tried using kava as a stress/anxiety reducer years ago and immediately noticed the effects as one of the only natural supplements that really works for me, along with ashwagandha. If I use it now, it’s specifically as a sleep aid as I find that the right variation really helps improve sleep which is obviously great for recovery!
🤔 It’s hard to tell how far you’ve come som 🤔 It’s hard to tell how far you’ve come sometimes until you look back. I’ve been training seriously for 11.5 years now which is INSANE to think about! Progress is extremely slow at this stage but when I look back at the photo on the left and look at where I was 7-8 years ago, I’m really proud of the consistency I’ve put in over the years. ⬅️ On the left, I was training for 4-5 years and barely even looked like I lifted. I was doing a standard bro split focused around isolation movements, wasn’t tracking macros and barely focusing on protein intake. I thought I was just doomed to have bad genetics. I started educating myself more and began focusing on compound movements with 2-3 times per week frequency for training each muscle group with an emphasis on strength progression. I also started counting calories and focusing on nutrition. This helped me break through that plateau. I went vegan shortly after and continued to hit more PR’s, put on more muscle and get leaner than ever on a plant based diet. ➡️ The photo on the right was taken a few weeks ago after years of consistent and intelligent training and calorie/macro tracking on a 100% plant based diet. When I was went vegan, I honestly thought it may have a negative impact on my body composition but I knew it was the right thing to do. I barely knew of any lifters who were doing it back then. I was pleasantly surprised that my progress was completely unhindered and I continued to get stronger and in the best shape of my life. Hit your macros, eat healthy, train intelligently and most importantly - be consistent! 😊
💊 Rhodiola Rosea is sourced from a perennial fl 💊 Rhodiola Rosea is sourced from a perennial flowering plant that grows in the arctic regions of Europe, Asia and North America. It’s been used in traditional medicines to help treat several conditions, most notably anxiety and depression. 📄 There is extensive research backing the herbs ability to decrease stress and fatigue, but there’s also evidence pointing towards benefits with cognition, improved sleep quality, and may even improve anaerobic and aerobic exercise performance. The biggest benefit of the herb seems to be associated with reducing fatigue from physical and mental stress, however!
Classic pasta with kale marinara sauce and @gardei Classic pasta with kale marinara sauce and @gardein vegan meatballs - always a quick and easy, tasty, high protein meal when I’m feelin’ lazy! Topped this with some @mastroseasoningsandspices italian seasoning and kicked it up to a whole new level! 😉 This meal was 717 calories with 37 grams of protein, 12 grams of carbs, 123 grams of carbs and 15 grams of fiber. Yum!! What’s YOUR go-to lazy meal?! 🤔
It’s officially October and colder weather is se It’s officially October and colder weather is setting in. That means calories are going back up slowly for me and we’re tryna hit some PR’s this winter! 😤 Who’s with me?!
New video just posted on the Aethix Fitness YouTub New video just posted on the Aethix Fitness YouTube - this one’s a quick little montage of a camping trip from a few weeks ago and cooking and eating plant based while camping/traveling. Click on the link in my bio to check it out and subscribe to the Aethix Fitness YouTube to stay updated on more videos! There’s never been more vegan options than now and popular camping food options like hot dogs, burgers, s’mores and more can all easily be veganized! I gotta say, beyond sausages hit differently cooked over the campfire flame 😳👌 Also, recently just tried @dandys vegan marshmallows to use in s’mores and even my non-vegan parents loved em. Texture And flavor is spot on! One of my personal new favorites is actually just wrapping a potato in aluminum foil and throwing it right on the fire 😂 Anyone else have any favorites?!
