Electric Studio – The Most Positive Workout Experience

It was in September 2014 when I had a short meeting with Kristina Sy, the founder of Electric Studio, to discuss about about the opening of the first boutique indoor cycling studio in the country. I am the type of a fitness instructor who is always very enthusiastic in discovering the latest and effective fitness trends, so I decided to show up for the Electric Studio audition with my husband, ...

Instead of Dieting, Feed Your Body with Positivity

Most dieters would love to try the latest diet or sign up for a weight loss program, follow it for sometime, achieve results and make best efforts to sustain a whole new lifestyle. But then, most of them will always revert back to their original lifestyle behaviors, because their minds and bodies are not physically, mentally and emotionally prepared to stick to a certain type of program on a long-term ...

MITCH’S RECIPE: Veggie Oats Caldo

For almost a year, I’ve been having an oatmeal breakfast (mixed with sliced banana, seeds, coconut oil and natural peanut butter) on most days of the week. For variety, I prepare Oats Caldo two to four times a month on a weekend. Oats are among the most nutritious grains, containing adequate amounts essential nutrients (carbohydrates, protein, fat), vitamins, minerals and fiber - such an excellent food source for weight management ...

Valentine’s Special: Secrets to Staying Fit, Healthy and in Love

I’ve been married to my husband, Armand, for more than 8 years. We started our relationship in 2002, while working together as fitness trainers in one of the biggest fitness centers in Makati. A few years before that, we were already familiar with each other because we came from the same school and we had the same course in college (physical therapy from De La Salle University -Health Sciences Campus). ...

MITCH’S RECIPE: Plant-based Adlai Paella

Cooking PAELLA seems to be so complicated because of the longer preparation and cooking time. But it only took me 30 minutes to cook (plus 10 minutes for preparing the ingredients) my home-made plant-based paella dish. Amazing! I already got inspired with my husband's Adlai risotto and "bringhe" (native paella) dishes last year. Then I became more challeneged to create my own Adlai recipe when my clients Ana, Carol and Cecille requested ...

MITCH’S RECIPE: Quinoa with Moringa and Mushroom

I love to mix chopped veggies with grains like brown and red rice because it makes my meal more colorful, healthier and super satisfying. However, my food intake now is mostly plant-based (started almost 5 months ago), so this year, I will incorporate more quinoa in my eating plan since it contains a high amount of protein (actually considered as a seed) than rice (1 cup rice= 5 grams protein, ...
