A quick recovery cheat sheet from Camille Nicole: pair a carb with protein within 30 to 60 minutes of finishing. That post-workout hunger is your body asking to refuel. Full guide linked in the comments.

Not all hunger is created the same. Your body is sending you hints about what it needs, and it can be difficult to translate sometimes. Camille Nicole created a Rosetta Stone to help you recognize what your body is telling you after a workout, and what to do about it.

Hungry After a Workout? What to Eat and Why Ravenous an hour after the gym? Post-workout hunger is normal. Learn what it means and what to eat to recover well, from an AFS dietitian.

Many of us make a promise to ourselves in January to make some healthy changes to our lives. With the midyear point coming up fast, it's a good time to check in and see where you stand.

he Vitality Assessment takes a few minutes and gives you a read on your current strength profile, along with a plan built around what it finds.

You'll know where to start instead of guessing.

Here is something that surprises most people: you get a bigger health benefit going from zero to 30 minutes of movement a week than you do going from 30 minutes to 150.

The first steps matter most. Mortality risk drops sharply with just a little daily movement, then levels off. That means the person who does almost nothing has the most to gain by doing just a bit more.

In our latest blog, Mike Stack explores the difference between physical activity and exercise, why a physically active life has been quietly engineered out of our daily routines, and what it will take to build it back in.

Bring Your Wellbeing Into Focus Wellness is bigger than the gym. We'll look at the whole picture, then focus where it matters most for you right now.

Only 5 out of 100 adults eat enough fiber.

That gap is why "fibermaxxing" is trending on social this year. And the science behind it is actually pretty good.

Camille Nicole broke it down: what it means, what more fiber does for blood sugar, cholesterol, and your gut, and a few simple swaps you can start this week.

Save this one, then sneak some chia seeds into your next bowl of yogurt.

Big day for our community.

We're proud to announce the launch of More Than Movement Collaborative (MTM), the nonprofit arm of AFS, founded by our own Mike Stack alongside a coalition of Washtenaw leaders.

MTM is dedicated to making healthy movement accessible to everyone, not just the people who already have the time, space, and resources for it. The heart of the mission is the same one we work toward at AFS every day: movement is a right, not a privilege. And in most communities, the real barrier isn't motivation, it's access.

MTM is hosting its launch event, From Access to Action, on Sunday, July 19 at The Kensington Hotel from 2 to 5 PM. It's a working afternoon for funders, community leaders, and neighbors who want to help build something different.

We'd love to see familiar faces there. Registration link in the comments.
