Functional Health Initiative - Okotoks, AB
"The key to maintaining or regaining our health, is taking responsibility and initiative."
Maintaining Muscle Health & Function
Muscle quality is defined as the amount of muscular strength & power per unit of muscle mass. While maintaining muscle mass is important, we DO NOT lose muscle mass without first losing strength & power. If long-term health is the goal, focus on improving the quality of your existing muscle mass.
Preventing Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women. Understanding what drives the development and progression of the disease (hint: it's not cholesterol) and identifying our risk factors, provides us with the opportunity to reduce our chances of developing and/or dying from cardiovascular disease.
Building Stronger Bones
In order to prevent and reverse osteoporosis we must take the time to understand why we lose bone density and strength, stop accepting bone loss as "normal" and work to restore bone metabolism.
Cardiorespiratory & Vascular Health
Cardiorespiratory fitness, as measured by maximal oxygen uptake has been shown to be a strong and independent predictor of all-cause mortality. When your VO2max is above the 50th percentile for your age & gender, your risk for all-cause mortality drops by 200%.
Prioritizing Plants & Protein
Transform your health by implementing a balanced macronutrient approach. Our recipes will help to ensure you are prioritizing protein, protecting your bone density, optimizing your muscle health, supporting your immune system and preventing chronic disease.
Functional Health Assessments
Functional health assessments provide us with the opportunity to identify specific areas of focus and to ensure that our efforts are that will allow us to move the needle and improve our health.
