As a sustainable lifestyle agency, it is important for us to prioritize our physical health and wellness, and share ways to stay fit and healthy. Prioritizing our well-being allows us to be more productive, focused, and creative in our work, which ultimately leads to better outcomes for our clients and the environment. Moreover, a healthy lifestyle promotes sustainable practices such as active transportation, plant-based diets, and reducing waste. Read on for a list of our favorite ways to stay fit & healthy and the brand we enjoy while doing it! 

Protein Powdered! 

Naked Nutrition is our new favorite go-to for protein powder. We love both their whey and plant-based protein options like Pea Protein Powder and Powdered Peanut Butter. Protein is crucial to muscle recovery, healthy skin and cognitive function so we’re excited to have a wide array of flavors and options of protein powders to choose from. They also just launched a new Naked Brownie, a high-protein, low-sugar brownie mix that’s delicious and family approved!

Heart Rate-based Interval Workouts 

A few months ago, we had the opportunity to work with the leader in innovative heart rate-based interval training, Orangetheory Fitness. The community-oriented culture of OTF can be felt in every studio with approachable and supportive coaches that encourage and enable individuals of all abilities to participate. The combination of strength training and cardio make for a holistic approach to fitness and maximum results inside and outside the studio. Incorporating both strength training and cardio, the OTF workout takes a comprehensive approach that delivers optimal results, both in and out of the studio. Or if you prefer a strength-training focused workout, check out Seattle Strength & Performance.

Our Natural Wellness BFF 

Wellness supplements from Arrae like the Sleep Alchemy and Bloat Alchemy capsules have become favorites of ours. The Sleep Alchemy capsules are a natural and effective way to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. They’re also formulated with adaptogenic herbs and minerals like ashwagandha and magnesium instead of melatonin to avoid dependency. Arrae's Bloat Alchemy capsules are another product that we can't get enough of. They’re great for maintaining a healthy gut microbiome and reducing inflammation with a blend of digestive enzymes, probiotics, and herbal extracts like ginger and fennel that work together to soothe and support your digestive system. The best part is all their wellness supplements are vegan, non-GMO and gluten-free! 

Athletic Wear Made to Last 

Slow fashion is practically our middle name. Thrifting and shopping from brands that use recycled and organic fabrics is a big deal for us, which is why we were thrilled to discover The Upside. Sustainability is not just a buzzword, it's a core value that is woven into every aspect of their brand. From their fabrics to their packaging. We love an athletic brand company committed to reducing their environmental impact and promoting ethical practices in the fashion industry! Some of our favorites include the Form Seamless Kelsey Bra and the Marle Seamless Spin Short.
