One Body One World

Sometimes our biggest obstacle is thinking we need to do too much. We might be unclear on where to focus, or have enough trust in our plan to stop trying EVERYTHING.
As a functional health coach, I help people decide where to focus so they can be confident and at ease in leaving the distractions and nagging thoughts of “what if?” behind. This leads to clarity, peace of mind, and ease in putting one foot in front of the other. There’s is space for your body to breathe, health to emerge, and for you to enjoy the rest of what life has to offer.

I've been having so much fun exploring trails in my new neighborhood that I forgot to let you know - new blog post is up!
For all those leaving Dry January behind - how do we structure a healthy and enjoyable relationship with alcohol?
As with most things wellness, there's no one right answer.
The simplest truth is that alcohol is a toxin. How easily our bodies manage it depends on many variables such as our unique capacity for detoxification, age, gender, underlying health status, and others. Check out the full post for some myth busting on the topic of "moderate drinking" as well as insights and action steps to clarify parameters for alcohol that best support your health.

Don't risk losing heart or erode your confidence.
If your goals are important, get the support you need.
As coaches, this is what we do.

10 Health Foundations. #2

Vitamin J is for Joy.

The places and ways we find joy will be unique to each of us.
We each have to explore where and how to tap into our own.
What works for our spouse, parent, or child may not work for us.

Here are few of my go-to joy sources:
☀️ Music (dedicated listening, allowing my body move as it's called to)
☀️ Walking in the woods with my dog
☀️ Connecting with my ancestors
👉🏼 2 out of 3 can be done in 10 minutes or less
👉🏼 All are scientifically proven to improve health by counteracting stress

🔑 Don’t ask permission for your joy or explain your joy to others. It brings you joy. That's it. Your job is to go with it.
🔑 Joy is not only on weekends. It's daily. It doesn't need to take a long time. Look for ways to experience joy that are accessible when you only have a few minutes.
🔑 Trouble finding your joy?
Sit with this question: If you knew your life would be over in 5 years, what would your chosen, daily routine look like?
🔑 Where are you a part of something larger than yourself that lifts your heart and inspires your soul?

💎 Where in your daily routine can you dip out for your microdose of joy?

Foundation Fridays #1

Increasing Sustainable Nutrition means building the practice of eating the healthy foods we enjoy more often.That's it!

You like broccoli? You like sweet peppers? Can you go from eating them once per week to eating them 3 times per week? Maybe you find a new way to top them so there's some variety and you enjoy eating them more often.

Don't make it complicated.
Just eat more of what you enjoy.

Keys:
🔑 Look for color, fiber, and anything that doesn't come from a factory.
🔑 Focus on increasing and including to start. Don't worry about restrictions or eliminations.
🔑 Start with breakfast. More nutrients at the top of the day can really make a better day.

One step at a time, folks. It's trite but true. The number one pitfall in building health is trying to do too much too fast. Small steps and consistency win the game.
