The wait is over and FITAID ENERGY is here! The number 1 post workout recovery beverage in America is now packed with 200mgs of clean caffeine in four bold new flavors. Blackberry Pineapple, Mango Sorbet, Peach Mandarin, and Raspberry Hibiscus are the 4 new flavors that have been added to the FITAID family of beverages!
“This is the evolution of energy. Energy 3.0,” says LIFEAID Co-Founder and President, Aaron Hinde. “FITAID Energy is unlike any other energy drink on the market. Our clean caffeine from green tea helps fight your fitness fatigue and contains our original post-workout recovery blend which includes BCAAs, Turmeric, Electrolytes, Vitamins B, C, D3, E, and more. All of our hand-picked ingredients have met the highest supplement standards and remain vegan, non-gmo, and gluten-free. Coupled with no sucralose, and no taurine, FITAID Energy is the future of clean performance energy.”
The energy drink market as we know it isn't the healthiest. Brands continue to load sucralose, sodium, and gut killing chemicals into your energy drinks. They put false statements in their cans such as “burns body fat” (I’m sorry but you can not simply burn body fat by just drinking a Celsius.) The next time you pick up an energy drink, just read the ingredients labels. I am pretty sure it will look like those CVS receipts that are typically longer than your arm.
FITAID ENERGY is truly the cleanest energy beverage on the market. Naturally sweetened and flavored, loaded with 200mg of caffeine from green tea extract (leaves), only 3g of sugars, and just 15 calories. You can not go wrong with a FITAID ENERGY.
“We started LIFEAID to disrupt the legacy of sodas and energy drinks already in the market. Over the years, we’ve started to see emerging energy drinks in retail. We didn’t consider many of them necessarily healthy from their ingredient deck. Nearly all of them are artificially sweetened with sucralose or aspartame, which as we know kills your gut microbiome.” says LIFEAID Co-Founder and CEO Orion Melehan.

Earth day, celebrated every year on April 22nd, is a reminder to protect the environment, restore damaged ecosystems and live a more sustainable life. This year marks the 52nd anniversary of Earth Day. Take a look at what the team members at LIFEAID are in their daily lives to make sure our planet is thriving!
“Putting food in the fridge in reusable tupperware and NOT plastic bags or plastic wrap. It's a small change and it has reduced my need to buy ziplocs! I also have been MUCH better at bringing in my grocery bags by leaving them in the FRONT seat when I go into the store. When they are in my trunk I always forget to bring them in!” - Emily S.
“When the conservation society is done replacing the bridge at the cabin this summer they have agreed to supply us with as many trees as I want. I am planning to line the creek that runs through the property with about 20-30 trees. I will never see them fully grown in my lifetime but my kids and their kids will enjoy them.” - Adam F.
“I am always sure that I never put my recycling in the bin in a garbage bag. I've heard that they assume it's always trash in a garbage bag and ends up in a landfill.” - Orion M.
“Eliminate single use plastic. If using / purchasing plastic, make sure it is getting multiple uses and when done, obviously recycle. If you are an ocean lover and traveled to SE Asia or Mexico, you will see how big of a problem single use plastic actually is and the time is now for us to personally take accountability and do something about it.” - Aaron H.
“Reusable canteen, glass tupperware vs. plastic wrap, bringing my own basket with me to the store, and giving gently used clothing and toys to other babies in our friend circle.” - Rosemary H.
“When washing dishes we don't turn on the faucet at full power. A gentle stream is plenty of water to wash and rinse dishes.” - Mike G.
“When the weather allows, I ride a bike to do errands in the small town where I live. Including grabbing groceries, running to the bank, beer store etc. This is a great way to reduce carbon emissions and reduce wear and tear on things like tires which have a large carbon footprint and are a disaster to dispose of.” - Scott S.
“Bringing a thermos or any kind of reusable cup in with me whenever I go to a coffee shop has become second nature - most coffee shops allow you to bring in your own cup to use so you don't have to use the disposable cup they provide. Another tip I have is to use reusable Q-tips! You can wash them between every use and never have to throw away a Q-tip ever again! Small changes, big impact.” - Lydia D.
“I always carry a reusable water bottle, I never keep the plastic ones in my house! I donate my clothes I don't wear anymore instead of just trashing them to sit in a landfill. Glass containers for leftovers instead of plastic wrap and ziplocks! I try to limit paper towel use as well with kitchen towels I can throw in the wash and even recently purchased reusable paper towels to try out (just heard of these lately). I air-dry my laundry in the spring/summer to use less dryer power plus it's better for your clothes!” - Anna L.
“Instead of using zip lock bags I purchase stasher bags for leftovers, storage of leftover avocado or PB & J on the go. I also purchase recycle eco friendly trash bags for our trash cans. I purchase Dyper diapers for my daughter that are from bamboo viscose and picked up at my doorstep to be properly disposed. I also purchase as many eco-friendly toys for my daughter as I can to avoid plastic and toxins.” - Ana. L

L-glutamine is the most plentiful amino acid found in the human body. This important amino acid is made by the body but during times of heavy exercise of injury, your body may need more L-glutamine than it can produce. Most L-glutamine in your body is stored in the muscles and lungs, where most is made.
So what does L-glutamine actually do in your body? This amino acid is an important factor in a range of things going on within your body. When it comes to removing excess ammonia in your body, L-glutamine has got you covered. It supports the function of your immune system, assists with brain function and digestion. L-glutamine makes protein for muscle tissue, fuels cells that protect our intestines, and helps detoxify the liver of foreign substances. So if you add extra L-glutamine into your diet, what are the benefits? And what does it do for your body? Let’s take a look!
Gastrointestinal and Immune System
L-glutamine benefits your overall health by supporting both gut function and your digestive process. L-glutamine can reduce intestinal inflammation and help people recover from food sensitivities. Also, it plays a key role in maintaining a healthy gut microbiota. L-glutamine can help reduce intestinal colonization and bacterial overgrowth of pathogens which can result in widespread gut issues (i.e weight gain and constipation).
Muscle Recovery
L-glutamine is important when it comes to maintaining muscle protein. In the supplement space, L-glutamine was first believed to be used for muscle gain and fat burning. While scientists continue to study these claims, it may help reduce muscle fatigue and exercise recovery. Studies have shown that when supplementing with L-glutamine, athletes had less muscle soreness and strength loss.
Food Sources
As mentioned before, L-glutamine is naturally produced in the body for those who workout a lot or need the extra L-glutamine for extra immune and gut support, there are plenty of foods that offer L-glutamine. These foods include:
- Eggs
- Tofu
- Milk
- Grass fed beef
- Spirulina
- Cottage cheese
- Asparagus
- Cod / Salmon
- Venison
- Turkey
- Corn
- Rice
Another place to get a great source of L-glutamine is from our line of beverages. So if you are not a fan of the listed foods above, crack open a FITAID and we got you covered when it comes to getting that extra L-glutamine in your daily diet! Have a favorite LIFEAID product?

Anyone who has had a baby or has grown their family in some way or another can tell you - motherhood can be TOUGH. While we know it will have its challenges, it really is nothing like what the mom-fluencers on IG have led us to believe motherhood looks like (those sparkling white homes with kids in perfectly clean, wrinkle free outfits? Hahaha!).
There were a few tips I received early in my motherhood days that have really helped me when times were extra tough. I wanted to share them with you all, and hopefully at least one of these resonates a bit with you and your kiddos!
1. The mantra “This is important.”
Photo courtesy of psypost.org
I absolutely love this tip. Someone sent an Instagram post to me discussing this very idea, and I swear, reading it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. So often in motherhood, it can feel like we aren’t doing enough, or not doing the right thing. Sometimes the day will end, and I’ll wonder, what did I even accomplish today? While some days I feel like a taskmaster, there are other days that just seem to slip through my fingers.
The point of this mantra - whatever you are choosing to do with your day is important. In the examples from this particular post, she said, “Feeding the baby for the 100th time? ‘This is important.’” “Cuddling with my toddler while he watches Daniel Tiger? ‘This is important.’” “Sweeping the floor? ‘This is important.’” “Making dinner? ‘This is important.’” “Taking a quick moment to rest while my kids play on the floor? ‘This is important.’”
The little things matter just as much as the big ones do. Taking time to care for yourself, your family, and your home are all things that matter and are important.
2. If we can’t regulate our emotions, how can our toddler?
Photo courtesy of genmindful.com
While this concept is pretty obvious, it honestly kind of blew my mind the first time I thought about it. Having twins that are now in the depths of the terrible twos… my patience is tested daily. And by daily, I mean, by about 6:30am every day.
I am not proud of it, but I used to find myself getting so frustrated and then snapping at my kids. The complete meltdowns over absolutely nothing, the constant fighting, the whining…. OH THE WHINING. And then one day while chatting with a mama friend, she reminded me - how can my kids calm down when *I* am not calm? How can I expect my two year olds to regulate their emotions, when their 30-something year old mother can’t even handle that?
It was a huge wake-up call. It definitely has not changed overnight, and it certainly is still a work in progress, but I am always reminding myself that I need to be their calm in the storm. I need to model how to regulate emotions so when they are more emotionally developed and mature, they can do the same. As so many quotes say - your kids aren’t giving you a hard time, they are HAVING a hard time.
3. There is no one “right way” to do ANYTHING.
Photo courtesy of nypost.com
When entering into the incredible world of motherhood, it seems like opinions and well-intended suggestions are being thrown in your direction at any given time. What your baby/child’s sleep habits are like, whether you’re nursing or formula feeding, what your plans are for switching to solids, the best methods for potty training, etc. Sometimes, sharing your plans can be met with skepticism from others who think they know “the best way”.
Mama - YOUR way is the best way! What works for one family, may not be a match for yours. Even for moms with multiple kids, they will tell you - what worked great for one kid might not work with another. Finding what is the best match for YOU, and your family - that is the best method of raising your kids. There is no one clear answer on what is best for approaching anything, including sleep training, weaning, etc.
Those are three of the best tips I received as a new mom that actually helped! What are some of the best pieces of advice you have received, or what you share with others?
Anyone who has had a baby or has grown their family in some way or another can tell you – motherhood can be TOUGH. While we know it will have its challenges, it really is nothing like what the mom-fluencers on IG have led us to believe motherhood looks like (those sparkling white homes with […]

Nobody goes to the court and plays just one match of pickleball. Before you know it, you're 4 or 5 matches in or 15 games deep and you still want to keep playing. Oh, and you want to come back to the court tomorrow because you're having that much fun. Well in order to keep playing at a high level, you must take your recovery very seriously.
Get a good night’s rest
This is the most important factor when it comes to recovering from a long day of Pickleballing. Sleep gives our bodies the time to rest and recharge for the day ahead. Ensure that you can sleep for a good eight to ten hours after playing a couple matches of Pickleball.
Practice yoga or light stretching
After that match of Pickleball, do not just go sit down. This is the perfect time to stretch out and improve flexibility. Stretching helps your body cool down because going from exerting a lot of energy to a complete rest can shock your body and make it harder to feel loose the next day. Also, implementing yoga into your weekly activities can keep your muscles loose so you can be sure to not pull or tweak anything while playing Pickleball. So, always remember to get those stretches in to ensure your body is loose and your muscles are properly recovering.
Maintain a healthy diet
Your body needs a good diet to have all the right vitamins and minerals to play Pickleball at a high level. You get out what you put in and if you're putting junk in your body, your Pickleball game will be junk. Be sure to stay up on protein, fruits, vegetables, and carbs so that you do not feel drained after a long day of Pickleball matches.
Foam Roll
Foam rolling any knots or trigger points can be huge to help you recover. Foam rollers are used for self-myofascial release (SMR) and can relieve any tension in minutes. By adding a foam roller to your recovery process, you can recover faster and keep your muscles feeling relaxed.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
I can not say this enough but hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Pickleball is a sport that can take a lot out of you, especially if you are playing outside, under the sun, in high temperatures. To avoid dehydration, it is important to keep your hydration levels up. Water helps to flush toxins out of your body, transport nutrients into the cells, and regulate your body temperature and pH balance. It can also help with muscle soreness and tension.
More importantly, after you have hydrated your body with water, chase that down with an ice-cold FITAID! FITAID has all the essential vitamins and ingredients to help your body fully recover and the best part, it tastes great!
