About Us

My name is Jereymi Longpre. I started my fitness journey in August 2015.
I didn't like how I looked and wanted to make a change. I was getting ready for the upcoming college baseball season and wanted to get in better shape. In my mind, this would make me a better baseball player.

Struggling to lose weight? It may be because of o

Struggling to lose weight?

It may be because of one simple factor. Weight gain around the face, mid section, and upper back often are attributed to this one very important hormone.

Cortisol.

If you have high levels of cortisol it is likely you also struggle with one or more of the following:

⁃ Acne
⁃ Easy bruising
⁃ Flushed face
⁃ Irritability
⁃ Difficulty focusing
⁃ High blood pressure
⁃ Slowed healing
⁃ Headache
⁃ Severe fatigue

How does cortisol get triggered into production?
One of the main factors is stress. The signals of stress causes the adrenal glands to release hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol.

Long term exposure to cortisol can wreak havoc on almost all your body’s processes. This can increase risk of heart disease, obesity, anxiety, depression and many other health issues.

If you feel you may be having a hard time with stress and losing weight send me a DM and let me help you out of a state of constant harm to a place of healing.

Much Love,

Jer

NEWS FLASH: Weight loss and cardio do not need to

NEWS FLASH:

Weight loss and cardio do not need to go hand-in-hand.

While cardio can be effective for weight loss, strength training is equally as important. When we build muscles through strength training, those new tissues require more energy to function.

More muscle tissue = increased metabolism = more daily calories burned

The above equation is simplified but demonstrates the clear benefits strength training can provide for weight loss. Cardio is great for improving the health of our heart and lungs, it is not solely for weight loss. Try to work on reframing the mindset around training. We are doing it for optimal health, longevity and wellbeing. While weight loss will be a natural aspect of training, it should not be the only goal.
Fitness is an excellent means for weight loss but it is only a drop in the bucket. While we are striving to live healthier, nutrition is a crucial aspect to consider as well.

Do you have questions or concerns regarding nutrition for weight loss? I would love to connect with you to help you work towards and achieve your goals. Send me a DM and let’s get started!

Much love,

PLEASE STOP SCROLLING and read what I must get off

PLEASE STOP SCROLLING and read what I must get off of my chest.

We are eating foods that are slowly killing us. They are packed with fillers, sugars, preservatives, oils, dyes, etc. While most of these additives are known to enhance flavour, their nutritional value is incredibly minimal.

Researchers have found that humans who consume high amounts of processed foods are likely to get really sick or have health complications. Having said that, there are many lifestyle factors to consider in these various studies. It is hard to pinpoint how much blame we can place on processed foods for early deaths. BUT what we can say is they certainly don’t make our lives any better.

Processed foods are very difficult to resist - they are made this way for a reason. These foods are made with flashy and brightly coloured packaging to attract our wandering eyes. Once out of the package, they are filled with flavours that are designed to be addictive.

It is vital to keep these things in mind when you are at the grocery store. Our lives depend on it.

Our bodies need vitamins and minerals to survive. Processed foods offer very limited nutrition. They offer next to no macronutrients which is what our bodies need to function properly.

A good rule of thumb to aim for is having our diets filled with around 80% of whole foods. Fresh fruits and vegetables, raw meats and freshly baked breads and grains are a great place to start. Stick to the outer edges of the grocery store for the fresh foods and enjoy the benefits that come with eating them.

I would love to get in touch with you to discuss how to stop eating processed foods. Let’s connect and start your journey towards better health today!

Much Love,

Jer

I hear a lot in the fitness industry that more is better.

More training.

More supplements.

More cardio.

More diets.

More “good” foods.

Well, what happens if I told you less is more.

What happens if I told you that most of you are doing too much.

With obesity being at an all-time high you’d think I’d sound crazy by saying that less is more, the issue is NOT that most people are not doing enough, but their approach to the journey is ruining their goals.

Most of us have started at some point by throwing every damn thing we can at ourselves.

Going from watching Netflix and eating takeout every other night and walking from our car to our job and getting about 4 hours of sleep every night.

To …

5 days in the gym, 3-4 days of cardio, a calorie deficit of a small child only eating chicken breast, rice and broccoli for every meal and then on top of that taking 15 different supplements at the same time.

We go from nothing to all hell breaks loose.

Now here’s the issue with this approach…. 👀 If you want to keep reading head to the link in my bio to keep reading my recent blog post: Train less eat more. Reverse your thinking.

You just finished an intense training session and

You just finished an intense training session and you’re feeling the need to refuel. Not sure what to reach for? Please read on…

First and foremost, you need to replenish your glycogen stores with carbohydrates. Carbs will also aid to repair tissue and aid your immune system. Stick to starchy vegetables or grains for refuelling.

Once we have our energy stores replenished, we need protein to aid in muscle repair and building. The amount of protein you need is dependent on many factors. A general guide is ~20-30 grams.

Now that we have repaired and replenished, it’s time to re-hydrate! When we sweat we lose electrolytes, water, etc through our pores. Water is sufficient to rehydrate unless we have been exercising for long periods or we sweat a lot. It is vital to add an electrolyte source if excessive sweating is the case.

Often we are focused on the macronutrients. It is vital not to forget to restore with micronutrients as well. We can easily obtain these by eating whole foods filled with antioxidants. Colourful fruits and veggies are a great place to start. Supplements can be utilized but are likely not needed unless you’re competing at a high level or if you lack sunshine in the winter (for that you’ll need vitamin D).

Bottom line, it can be difficult to know what’s right for you and your body. Send me a DM and let’s take a deep dive into an optimal nutrition plan for you today!

Jer

Carb loading. What is it and when is it used? Plea

Carb loading. What is it and when is it used? Please keep reading to find out.

Carbohydrate loading is used to build up our body’s glycogen stores. Glycogen is a form of glucose that is released when we need extra energy. When we consume an excess of carbohydrates, they are converted to glucose and either utilized, excreted or stored as glycogen.

Carb loading is recommended if we are planning to do an activity that requires exceptional endurance (such as running a marathon or Spartan type race, triathlon, etc). If an activity is greater than 90 minutes, carb loading can be considered. Increasing our intake prior to the event can help delay fatigue and hitting the “wall”, and may increase physical endurance.

If you are preparing for a long endurance event, here are some things to consider:

Different methods for carb loading exist. The most popular involves tapering your training 2-3 weeks prior to the event, with an increase in carbs for 2-3 days before the big day.

Try to keep total calories roughly the same by decreasing fatty foods and substituting with foods richer in complex carbohydrates (sweet potato, bread, oats and rice are great to start with).

Eat smaller amounts more often to avoid over-burdening your stomach.

Choose the foods you are familiar with. Trying new foods before an event can be risky. Prone to diarrhea? Decrease fibre consumption 48 hours prior.

The day before, eat your largest meal at lunch. Eating early in the day will aid in digestion and lower chances of bloating in the morning.

On race day, leave at least 3-4 hours to digest your breakfast. Consume something high in carbohydrates that you know sits well in your stomach. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids at this time and then drink as needed in the remaining time before.

Are you new to carb loading? Need a guide to help you comprehend science? Shoot me a DM and let’s get started on our journey together.

I am exercising daily, this counts as therapy… r

I am exercising daily, this counts as therapy… right?

WRONG! Allow me to explain why.

While I am a huge advocate for physical activity and its role in mental health, exercise is by no means a form of therapy.

When we move our bodies, we release chemicals called endorphins that are partially responsible for our elevated mood. The uplifting feelings we have post workout have been proven to lower levels of anxiety and depression. While I recommend exercising daily to assist with our mental health, therapy is a crucial part of recovery and wellness.

The pits of our emotions are something to be discussed with a professional of our choosing. When we exercise, those emotions are not being explored to their true depth. When we get to the bottom of the emotion and grant ourselves the grace to feel it (to its fullest extent), we are able to release it.

Think of exercise as a supplement to mental health. Movement is not a substitute, but a means of providing a healthy release of those emotions we (hopefully) talked about in our last therapy session.

Things to add to your mental health toolbox:
Healthy relationships and frequent human connection
Eating and drinking to nourish our body and mind
Limit alcohol consumption
Make sleep a priority
Learn to practice mindfulness through meditation or alternatives

Have you tried to use exercise as therapy in the past? I would love to hear more about your experience. Drop a comment below or send me a DM. I would be happy to chat.

Jenn: Find yourself nursing a hangover and wonder

Jenn:
Find yourself nursing a hangover and wondering the best way to proceed?

You’re not alone.

There is a well-known myth that states the “hair of the dog helps a hangover”. What does this mean exactly? This old wives tale is referring to consuming more alcohol when you wake in the morning with the familiar crappy feeling a night of drinking will deliver.

While there is some truth in this tale, there are better ways to go about nursing a hangover. Drinking the next morning may offer some temporary relief. However, the relief will not last and will disappear when your blood alcohol levels return to normal.

What’s even more crucial to keep in mind is if you “treat” your hangovers with more alcohol, this could be a slippery slope to addiction. Ultimately, our relationship with alcohol will worsen if we try to cure our hangovers with more drinking.

Let’s develop some healthy habits to treat a hangover if they occur.

Firstly, drink more.. FLUIDS. Water or an electrolyte mix of your choice are best. Alcohol suppresses a hormone that lowers urine production in our kidneys. Therefore, we will pee more when we have alcohol in our system. If you are nauseous, small sips of fluid are better than nothing and can help with symptoms.

Another hangover remedy is carbohydrates. When we consume alcohol, our blood sugar levels will frequently drop. This decrease is thanks to our forgetfulness to eat when drinking and the effect of alcohol on blood sugar levels. Dry toast and juice are a great starting point!.

Lastly, if you are suffering with a headache, opt for Ibuprofen (or any anti-inflammatory medication). Avoid Tylenol if possible due to its negative effects on the liver. Combined with alcohol, Tylenol’s toxic effects in the liver will be heightened.

Do you have any hangover remedies not mentioned here that have worked for you? Let me know in the comments.

Jer

I know many of us enjoy a cup or two (or four) of coffee in the morning. I am not here to change your morning routine but I am here to provide some morning education! 🤓

When compared with other caffeinated beverages, coffee is the highest in caffeine (by far) and will be sure to hit you hardest with its familiar “jolt” of energy.

Drinking a matcha beverage or green tea in the morning will still deliver energy favours but will withhold the common energy spike that leaves us crashing only hours later.

Matcha contains approximately half of the amount of caffeine as coffee and contains substances such as L-Theanine and is high in antioxidants. L-Theanine helps us to absorb caffeine slower; instead of a large spike and crash, we will feel a slower onset and longer lasting effects compared to the effects of coffee.

Green tea is another solid choice. This beverage also contains antioxidants and L-Theanine, providing similes benefits to matcha with the caffeine content being roughly half of matcha and around a third of coffee.

Now that we are aimed with some alternative morning caffeine choices, here is a delicious matcha recipe to try today:

8-12oz almond/oat milk
1 scoop of your favourite matcha mix
Dash of peppermint extract
1 tsp honey (add more to taste if desired)

Give these a quick blend and enjoy!

Let me know if you give this recipe a try or have another favourite matcha recipe to share with the group!

Much love,

Jer

To quote an old science teacher of mine, “Anythi

To quote an old science teacher of mine, “Anything can be a poison; it’s a matter of the dose.”

If we consume too much of any food, there will be consequences. One of the widespread concerns is the amount of naturally occurring sugar in most fruits. While this worry has some validity, eating whole fruit as a part of a balanced diet has been tied to reduced obesity rates.

Whole fruit contains both kinds of fibre; soluble and insoluble. When these two team up in our gut, they create a glue-type structure that acts as a barrier in our duodenum (the first stop in our small intestine), which prevents a large number of sugars from absorbing into our bloodstream.

Once the fibres pass by and onto our jejunum and ileum (the other two regions of our small intestine), the sugars encounter trillions of gut bacteria. Once they have been “processed,” the sugars are metabolized, preventing us from absorbing a vast amount of them.

When we consume whole fruit, their benefits are further stretched due to their high fibre. Foods high in fibre pass through our stomach and into our ileum much quicker (which is where the signal of feeling “full” initiates). If we feel full faster, we will not be as inclined to overeat.

Keeping the above two concepts in mind, we must understand consuming whole fruits is not the same as drinking fruit juices or smoothies. These lack all fibre types, so we absorb most natural sugars. Drinking large quantities of fruit beverages has been shown to increase our risk of diabetes; this is thanks to the insulin spike that happens when we consume foods high in sugar. What will follow afterwards is the well-known sugar crash, leading to dangerous fluctuations in blood sugar levels, causing our pancreas to work overtime.

When it comes to fruit, stick to whole fruit as much as possible to reap the most benefits. Keep the fruit smoothies and juices to a minimum (when possible).

If you would like to learn more about fruit consumption and how it can work in your diet, please send me a DM and let’s get started!

Have you ever heard of the vagus nerve?

If you haven’t now is the time to start researching it and read up more on it. It is one of the if not the most important nerve in the body.

It is responsible for the following:
Digestion
Heart rate
Breathing
Cardiovascular activity
Reflexes: coughing, sneezing, swallowing, vomiting

It plays a role in the autonomic nervous system, which controls what people do unconsciously such as breathing and digestion.

The vagus nerve connects the the body to the brain. It sends 80% of information up to the brain and only 20% of the information comes down from the brain.

Meaning, the body tells the brain how it should feel, react, and change.

If you’ve ever heard the gut is the second brain. This is where it comes from. The vagus nerve takes the information from your gut up to your brain. Which is called gut-brain-axis. Experts have been linking the gut-brain-axis to depression and obesity.

It’s a powerful nerve everyone should be educated on.

Client Testimonial 🤩 Before working with Jerey

Client Testimonial 🤩

Before working with Jereymi, I spent about 10 years jumping on and off the diet wagon. From Keto to Fat Free, I had tried every type of fad diet and all the trendy exercise programs. I had periods of intermittent success, but I always gained the weight back (and then some). Then COVID hit, and I was really struggling. I was heavier than I’d ever been and was heading in the wrong direction. My weight and my health dominated my thoughts, and that only increased my stress (and my appetite along with it). Then a family member recommended that I reach out to Jereymi for some fitness/nutrition coaching.

Six months later, and I’ve lost roughly 60 lbs. Jereymi has helped me build better nutrition habits by making small, sustainable changes that really add up over time. The loose style of meal planning stops me from feeling like “I can’t have that” but encourages me to assess the value that different foods bring to the table. My energy is higher, my stress is lower, and I feel like a much younger version of myself.

Jereymi is wise beyond his years. His philosophy on training and nutrition goes beyond the typical “calories in vs. calories out”, working towards prioritizing wellness as an overall concept. I appreciate his calm and honest feedback, realistic goal setting, and his insistence on celebrating the wins no matter how small. I look forward to continuing our work together!

If you are looking for help, please do not hesitate to DM me. I’d be so happy to help.

Much Love,

Jer
