This week we’re exploring new health hacks, disturbing facts, and routine changes that are top of mind this month. Jac explains the mental benefits of group fitness. She discusses how group fitness enhances the stress reducing benefits of exercise, specifically by increasing calmness after exercising with someone compared with exercising alone. Kate explores the advantages of delaying your caffeine intake in the morning. She walks us through our bodies’ natural cortisol and melatonin cycle, and explains the importance of natural sunlight for our circadian rhythm. We then pick two routine changes we want to implement moving forward. Jac’s is creatine supplementation for cognitive function and Kate’s is forming identity based habits. We hope sharing our journeys teaches you something new. Enjoy!
