Golden Mylk Turmeric Lattes | How to Make Them + Health Benefits

September 25, 2018 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

health-benefits-of-turmeric

One thousand percent, I used to think making turmeric lattes was just about adding a tsp of turmeric to warm, unsweetened almond milk.  No wonder I used to not like them.  But made correctly.... oh boy. Am I in for trouble this winter.  My relationship with turmeric is a funny thing. I can’t tolerate the taste of it alone, yet,  I have a teaspoon of it every day with a litre of water.  The flavour of it in recipes is completely different, especially in stir ...

September 20, 2018 by Nick Joly 1 Comment

invisalign review experience is it worth it

If you follow my journey along on Instagram @inspiredbynick, you may already know that I’ve recently finished a full year of Invisalign treatment.  One year and $6000.00 cdn later, I’m answering: Is Invisalign really worth it?  Right off the bat, I’ll share that yes, I think it was worth it.  Was I in love with the process? No. Am I happy with the results? One thousand percent yes. I started my treatment in August of 2017. I had crowding in my bottom front teeth, and two teeth in the top row ...

Inspired by Nick Blog Vlog YouTube

Have you ever been in a place where you were so comfortable that you began to wonder what your next great challenge would be? Perhaps you’ve been in your role at work for some time and are looking for new opportunities. Maybe you’re become comfortable in your routine at home and you just wish you could change things up a bit.

Iced Maple Matcha Lattes | Easy Vegan Summer Drink Recipe

July 13, 2018 by Nick Joly 2 Comments

how-to-make-matcha-lattes

This week I was visiting family in Montreal, and if you’ve visited before, you know that Montreal summers can be scorchers! My mom had never tried matcha before, so on a day where even our eyelids were sweating from from the summer burn, I made us some iced matcha lattes to stay cool! While I’m a huuuuuge almond milk lover, Mom’s always been pretty finicky with it. The taste, the texture… something about it just never quite jived with her. So she was a little reluctant to try these iced ...

Why 7-9 Hours of Sleep Matters | The Low Down + Impact Sleep Has on Our General Health

July 6, 2018 by Nick Joly 2 Comments

why-sleep-is-important-for-brain-health

I recently listened to a podcast that featured Dr. Matthew Walker, Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, whose work Ive been following for some time now. Dr. Walker is the Founder and Director of the Center for Human Sleep Science and the author of Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams. When it comes to taking care of and tending to my personal health, I see four facets that play together. Sleep, obviously, is a major factor. ...

Superfood Smoothie Stacks to Help Alkalize Your Body

June 26, 2018 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

vegan-smoothie-recipe-easy-green-superfoods

Sometimes (usually on Sundays) I like to get fancy with my breakfasts. A couple layers of chia pudding, superfood smoothie, some coconut yogurt... you know, the usual. ;) My friends joke that with these layered chia cups and the endless smoothie bowls on my instagram page, that I should open a smoothie shack. I mean, I'm not saying that isn't a possibility... in the distant future maybe, where I'm retired, growing my own coconut trees, and living in Hawaii? Not a bad idea! ...

Mushrooms, Tonics + Adaptogens | The Lowdown + Q&A with Wellness Expert Anna

June 7, 2018 by Nick Joly 2 Comments

adaptogens mushrooms health benefits

The Power of Mushroom Tonics and Powders I’ve always been fascinated by the fact that foods have healing properties. Even more fascinating to me is how our ancestors, across time, culture and religion, would make various types of tonics or teas to remedy and combat disease. Isn’t it just so cool?! Forgoing taste for health benefits has never been a problem for me. I’ve eaten some pretty weird shhhh in my day, some with awful taste - all so my body could reap the health benefits + healing ...

28 Lessons Learned in Health, Happiness, and Spiritual Enlightenment

May 25, 2018 by Nick Joly 2 Comments

28 lessons learned happiness health spiritual enlightenment

The kabbalists saw birthdays as a time for reflection -- whether or not we have fulfilled our calling. On the progress we’ve made on our pursuits of health and happiness, and our spiritual callings. Today I turn 28 years young. Twenty eight.   What progress have I made in my pursuit of health and happiness? Spiritual enlightenment? Good question. How do I know if I’ve made progress on spiritual enlightenment? And to what end? Or is it really all about the journey, versus the ...

How Friendships and Building Communities Contribute to Health + Longevity

May 23, 2018 by Nick Joly 1 Comment

can friend help you live longer

In Buddhism there’s a single term that encompasses multiple types of friendship; Kalyāṇa-mittatā. It represents the overarching concept of “spiritual friendships” within their community, whereby friendships are formed by individuals who share similar ethical values, as well as a mutual pursuit of enlightenment. I like that. The mutual pursuit of enlightenment. I like to look at friendship as the collective energy of two (or more) people. Think about the energy you give off after ...

because for as much progress as we’ve made, we still see and hear stories of injustice, bullying, and repression every single day. So please challenge yourselves to have difficult conversations, be open to learning, support your networks, elevate the voices of those who need it, raise awareness, endorse people who are committed to equality, and commit to change so we can build a better tomorrow 🏳️‍🌈🌸

Grocery shopping but 'leveled up' 💁🏻‍♂️🍄 y’all know that food shopping is basically my favourite hobby 😂. Over the past few weeks, I’ve told you about #MyHealthMyChoices by @MetroOntario and now I’m gonna show you just how easy it is to sort and find foods you love, while fitting within your dietary needs.

I always start in produce (naturally) and then jump straight to organic aisles for my fav snacks. Using the green labels in-store, I can identify (at a quick glance) which products are plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free. The My Health, My Choices program also allows me to scan product barcodes using the MyMetro app and search for exactly what I need, taking the whole experience to the next level 🙌🏼 ➡️ Swipe to see my shopping experience and what items I picked up at my local Metro. #Sponsored #MyMetro #Inspiredbynick
we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still taking time to settle in. there are some projects we wanna get done asap but can’t due to lockdown, so we’re just gonna go with the flow and enjoy the ride together 👬🏻 ps, that photo is from 9 years ago on one of our first dates
When you’re craving a burger but you also want a When you’re craving a burger but you also want a #meatless option 🙌🏼🍔 Organic Black Bean Fiesta Burgers made by yours truly 🍔💁🏻‍♂️when I was vegan I really had to get creative with a lot of my recipes, otherwise I’d be eating the same old bean salad every day… and bean salad doesn’t really taste like a burger when you’re craving a burger! Even though I’m not fully vegan anymore, I do still like to swap out meat as much as possible with other #plantbased options because that’s what works for me! 
With @metroontario's new program, MyHealth, MyChoices finding products that suit your dietary needs and lifestyles couldn't be easier. With almost 9,000 products labelled with nearly 50 different attributes like plant-based, fat-free, non-GMO, etc., you can easily find what works for you. So for this recipe, I looked for the green labels in-store, found the perfect Irresistibles organic black beans and extra virgin olive oil and whipped up a batch of patties that my heartmate and I devoured! (Tip: they also freeze well)! The recipe for them is on my blog (link in bio) and on Metro’s Instagram page and website! Hope you enjoy these if you decide to make them! #inspiredbynick  #MyHealthMyChoices #mymetro #sponsored
