Brio is About Energy

The word “brio” means vigor and vivacity of style, like singing with brio!

The thought, in the beginning, was to share the latest in the keto and low-carb way of eating so that it becomes a lifestyle and not one more round on the diet roller coaster. Eating low-carb gave me back some energy and that to me was a life with brio!

Over the years, and as I’ve learned more and more, I have begun to relax about EVERYONE needing to also adopt this way of eating. It may not be for everyone. I’ve been pretty uptight and opinionated about things that evolved in my understanding. I’ve stopped counting carbs and focus more today on getting as many of the most nutrient-dense foods onto my plate with as little fuss as possible.

Brio Place exists because I am a teacher at heart who loves learning and creating. The thing about art and design is that it teaches you to become an observer. And what I see too often is that many of us are needlessly suffering. Including myself!

I’ve also come to terms with this meat suit I inhabit; that I have a lot of trapped emotion in my body, and even more energy trapped in my brain. I started creating some habit trackers and journaling prompts to help with this. Recently, I’ve discovered a love of watercolor, doodles like Zentangles, and neurographic art. It has been eye-opening just how helpful it has been to release the emotion onto paint and paper.

I hope you will benefit from the content herein! I’ll still be sharing my love of nutrition and all the things that are helping me be as healthy as possible. AND, I’ll be sharing some things that will hopefully inspire you to be more creative and healthy too!
