About the Event
Hunt & Gather Nutrition and Fitness Lifestyles is inviting you to their inaugural community event, called Strong Moms: A Mothers’ Day Festival, at Glorietta 3 Activity Center on May 7 and 8, 2016.
At Hunt & Gather, we believe that nutrition and fitness is a way of life. Our food choices and exercise affect our health, mood, and relationships. We also recognize that individuals react favorably to one nutrition or exercise program over another. As such, we have gathered as many healthy food and fitness merchants we can find, who share with us the same values of health.
Each merchant has been curated to offer food or services that are paleo, keto, pescetarian, or vegetarian oriented. Also included are merchants who advocate local, organic, non-GMO, and gluten-free living. We aim to provide festivals goers information and choices for them and their families to truly live healthy lives through proper food choices and exercise.
The Festival will also host a number of nutrition talks and open workouts. As of this writing, we will be having talks on carb-backloading, paleo lifestyles, weight release, plant-based nutrition, optimizing performance, and Primed lifestyle. Open workouts include capoeira, yoga, pilates, and a Brazilian Jiujitsu tournament.
On a more personal note, I have been an athlete and a coach for over 25 years. For me, exercise has always been consistent in my life. Yet, I have struggled with weight management since I was a child. Being in a weight division sport, I have found my weight to yo-yo dramatically between the on and off-season. What I have found true for myself is that food choices is critical to body composition, with exercise as a close but secondary component. You cannot out-exercise a bad diet. There has to be a balance of both with heavier emphasis on nutrition. Now that I am a family man, nutrition and exercise carries a more significant meaning of not just preparing for the next athletic event, but for over-all wellness, longevity, and happiness.
We would like to share with you some of the goodies that will be available at the Hunt & Gather Nutrition and Fitness Lifestyles Mothers’ Day Festival. In the basket, you’ll find some healthy snacks, supplements, and fitness sessions gift certificates that will help you begin or continue your own journey into wellness. With this, we’d like to welcome you into the Hunt & Gather community and we hope to see you at the upcoming Hunt & Gather Nutrition and Fitness Lifestyles, STRONG MOMS: Mothers’ Day Festival. If this is something that would benefit your family, friends, and communities, we hope you can share in your blog, Facebook, Instagram, and/or group pages.
