By CCM Exercise Physiologist and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Laura Bollinger I was too tired. Something else came up. It was rainy. It was snowing. It was too dark. It was too cold. It was too hot. As a health coach, I hear these statements all the time. Members share with me many reasons why they chose to do something other than exercise during the time they had scheduled for it.

By Laura Bollinger, Registered Dietitian with Christian Care Ministry It’s early in the morning. The air is brisk and there is a hum of people talking excitedly. With nervous energy abounding, laces are tightened and double knotted, hydration packs and energy bars are checked, watches beep, and playlists start. There is an electric energy buzzing through the crowd and everyone is hoping for one last bathroom break.

By Laura Bollinger, Christian Care Ministry Registered Dietitian This week is National Public Health Week (NPHW) and the theme for 2018 is “Changing Our Future Together”. The goal of NPHW is to make the United States the healthiest nation by 2030. This is a big goal and as the saying goes “it takes a village,” but in this case it will take the whole nation.

March is National Nutrition Month (NNM). As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), this is my favorite month of the year. It is a time that nearly everyone is talking about nutrition; not just food, but NUTRITION. It is a time to talk about the direct impact foods such as vegetables, fruits, and legumes have on our health.
