Just in time for the new year, Tres Adames is now offering a one-time, 75-minute Fitness Consultation designed to help individuals build a custom fitness and nutrition SYSTEM they can use all year long.

This is not ongoing coaching or personal training. In a single session, Tres works with clients to design and program a personalized system inside of ChatGPT that continues to guide them, adjust recommendations, and respond to real progress over time.

Instead of a static meal plan or workout routine, clients leave with a dynamic, adaptable resource that supports health, consistency, and confidence for months to come.

This consultation focuses on creating a sustainable approach that fits each person’s body, situation, and lifestyle rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

What’s included in the one 75-minute session:

- Review of fitness and dieting history
- Identification of food preferences and realistic boundaries
- Selection of an approach that fits the individual (low-carb, higher-carb, etc.)
- Setup of customized ChatGPT threads for nutrition, workouts, tracking, and motivation
- A feedback system so plans adjust based on results

This is a standalone consultation (not a package). Follow-ups are optional. Learn more and get in touch here: https://www.prism-counseling.com/fitness

This is not an exhaustive list, but here are 7 types of loss that many struggle with over the holidays.

☀️ Here in Phoenix, we’re pushing through the 110’s right now (but hopefully not for long, if the forecast is correct).

While many people think of Seasonal Affective Disorder as a “winter blues” issue, some actually experience depression and fatigue during the summer months. This is called Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder (RSAD), and it can feel especially heavy during extreme heat.

If you’ve been feeling down, anxious, or unmotivated this summer, you’re not alone. Our latest article explains what RSAD is, why it happens, and ways to cope.
