Closing out January 💜

Nervous system regulation isn’t just for challenges —
it’s something you can use every day.

The practices we focused on this month are tools you can return to anytime your body feels overwhelmed, stressed, or disconnected.

Slow down.
Create safety.
Support your body.

Thank you for being part of StrongHer this month.
🌿 Next up: our next reset week as we spring forward into warmer weather.

✨ Fuel Good. Feel Good. ✨

Winter doesn’t get to steal your wellness.

The more ultra-processed “garbage” we eat or take in, the louder old injuries, inflammation, and chronic pain tend to speak up.
That ache you thought was long gone? Yep — food can wake it back up.

When it’s cold, we naturally reach for comfort.
But comfort doesn’t have to mean junk.

You can still eat cozy — just with better swaps that nourish instead of inflame:

• Cottage cheese or Greek yogurt instead of sour cream
• Protein or legume pasta instead of standard pasta
• Sweet potatoes over white or yellow potatoes
• Cauliflower rice over white rice
• Beans for fiber + protein
• Cabbage over iceberg lettuce
• Oven-baked or air-fried instead of deep-fried
• Fresh foods over heavily processed frozen
• Herbal tea instead of coffee when your body needs calm

Food is information.
Every bite is either helping your body heal — or asking it to fight.

Winter doesn’t excuse inflammation.
Comfort food can still love you back.
Fuel good. Feel good. 💜🦋✨

When the risks outweigh the benefits… it’s time to pause and ask better questions. 💜🦋✨

We love modern medicine when it’s used with intention: smart testing, early prevention, and vaccines that protect against real threats.
But “available” doesn’t always mean “needed.” And “just in case” isn’t always a good reason—especially when there are risks, side effects, and ingredients you deserve to understand.

The LiBellé Rule:

If the test or shot won’t change your next step, think twice.
Because every medical decision is a risk vs. benefit calculation.

Examples of when it’s worth slowing down:

1) Imaging with contrast (like some MRIs)
• Gadolinium contrast can be retained in the body for months to years, and the FDA requires class warnings about retention. 
• For people with normal kidney function, the FDA says retention has not been directly linked to harmful health effects, and benefits still outweigh risks when clinically needed. 
• Risk gets more serious for some patients with advanced kidney disease, where certain contrast agents historically carried higher risk for a rare condition called NSF (radiology guidelines address this and safer agent groups). 

2) Vaccines
• Vaccines can have side effects and rare reactions—so informed consent matters.
• But a lot of “ingredient fear” online is missing context:
• Thimerosal (a mercury-based preservative) has been removed or reduced to trace amounts in routine childhood vaccines in the U.S., with limited exceptions (like some multi-dose flu vaccines). 
• Formaldehyde is used in manufacturing some vaccines to inactivate viruses/toxins, and only tiny residual amounts may remain; federal health sources note our bodies naturally have more formaldehyde than vaccines contain. 

What to ask your provider (simple + powerful)

For a scan/test:
1. What are we looking for?
2. Will the result change what we do next?
3. Do I need contrast? If yes, why?
4. Have we checked my kidney function? (important for some contrast decisions) 
5. Are there safer alternatives (ultrasound, non-contrast imaging, watchful waiting)?

For a vaccine:
1. What is my actual risk of this illness right now?
2. What benefits do I personally gain?
3. Any reasons I should delay or avoid (history of severe allergy, certain conditions, timing)?
4. What side effects should I expect—and what would be a red flag?

LiBellé reminder:

This isn’t about fear.
It’s about ownership.
You deserve truth + options so you can make the best decision for your body, your season of life, and your health goals.

Modern medicine can be life-saving — and it deserves thoughtful, informed use. 💜🦋

Asking questions isn’t fear.
It’s self-respect.

Cervical Health & HPV: A StrongHer Refresher Every Woman Needs

Cervical health doesn’t get nearly enough attention — yet cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when women are informed, screened, and supported.

This is your gentle refresher — no fear, no overwhelm — just what matters most.

HPV: The Basics Every Woman Should Know

HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is extremely common. Most people will be exposed at some point, often without symptoms.

✔ Most HPV infections clear on their own
✔ Persistent high-risk strains can cause cervical cell changes
✔ Early detection makes cervical cancer highly treatable

HPV is common. It is manageable. And it is not a reflection of your worth or choices.

Screening = Power

Regular screening saves lives — even when you feel perfectly fine.

General guidelines:

Ages 21–29: Pap test every 3 years

Ages 30–65: HPV test every 5 years, Pap every 3 years, or both

Abnormal results ≠ cancer — they often mean monitoring or follow-up

👉 If you’re overdue, let this be your nudge.

Prevention Is Layered

There is no single “fix” — cervical health works best when tools are combined:

HPV vaccination (an informed, personal choice)

Condom use (reduces risk, though not 100%)

Limiting partners

Not smoking

Regular screening

Protection isn’t about fear — it’s about self-respect and care.

Support Your Cervix Naturally

While natural approaches don’t replace screening, they do support immunity and cellular health.

Focus on:

Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts)

Folate-rich foods (lentils, leafy greens)

Antioxidants (berries, citrus, vitamins A, C, E)

Vitamin D, zinc, probiotics

A Mediterranean-style, whole-food diet

Food is information — your cells are listening.

Red Flags Women Over 40 Should Never Ignore

🚩 Any bleeding after menopause
🚩 Bleeding between periods or after s*x
🚩 Persistent pelvic pain or pressure
🚩 Pain during in*******se

If something feels off — trust that instinct and get checked.

The StrongHer Takeaway

Cervical health isn’t about fear.
It’s about awareness, prevention, and advocacy.

✔ Get screened
✔ Ask questions
✔ Support your body
✔ Know the signs
✔ Make informed choices

Your health matters.
Your voice matters.
You are StrongHer than you know 💜🦋✨

StrongHer 7-Day Nervous System Regulation Challenge — Thank You 💜

If you joined this challenge — even for one day — thank you for showing up for your body.

This week wasn’t about fixing yourself.
It was about listening, softening, and creating safety in small, meaningful ways.

You practiced:
• choosing calm over pressure
• reducing nervous system overload
• nourishing without restriction
• creating gentle rhythms
• resting without guilt
• and trusting your body’s wisdom

That matters more than doing everything perfectly.

⸻

What Comes Next

Healing isn’t linear — and it doesn’t end on Day 7.

The nervous system heals through repetition and safety, not intensity.
That’s why this challenge can be:
• repeated every few months
• revisited during stressful seasons
• or used anytime your body feels overwhelmed or dysregulated

You can return to Day 1 whenever you need to reset.
You can repeat just the days that helped the most.

There’s no wrong way to use this.

⸻

StrongHer Reminder 💜

You don’t need a new plan.
You don’t need to push harder.

You already have tools that help your body feel safe.
Keep 1–2 practices. Let them be enough.

Thank you for honoring your nervous system.
Thank you for choosing gentleness.
This is how healing continues — on your terms. 🦋✨

DAY 7: INTEGRATION & CARRYING THIS FORWARD 💜

Healing isn’t about doing more.
It’s about keeping what works.

Over the past week, you gave your nervous system something it may not have had in a long time:
consistency, safety, and permission.

Today isn’t about starting something new.
It’s about noticing what helped — and letting that guide you forward.

⸻

Today’s Focus: Integration

Take a moment and reflect:
• What felt most calming?
• What felt doable?
• What helped your body soften, even a little?

👉 Choose 1–2 practices to keep.
That’s enough.

Maybe it was:
• music or breathwork
• creative time
• better rest
• gentler food choices
• simple routine

You don’t need to keep everything to keep healing.

⸻

Why This Matters

The nervous system heals through repetition, not intensity.
Small, consistent practices teach your body:

“This calm is safe. I can come back here.”

This is how regulation becomes part of real life — not another thing to manage.

⸻

StrongHer Reminder 💜

Healing doesn’t end here.
It continues — gently.

Keep what supports you.
Release the rest.
Trust your body’s wisdom.

You are not starting over.
You are carrying this forward. 🦋✨

01/23/2026

DAY 6: REST IS MEDICINE 💜

Resting does not mean you’re lazy.
It means your nervous system is asking for support.

In a world that praises productivity, rest often gets mislabeled as weakness. But for a dysregulated nervous system, rest is not a reward — it’s treatment.

Your body cannot heal in constant “go mode.”

⸻

Why Rest Matters for the Nervous System

When you slow down, your body shifts into the parasympathetic nervous system — the state responsible for:
• repair
• digestion
• immune support
• emotional regulation

Without enough rest, the nervous system stays stuck in survival mode, even when nothing is “wrong.”

Rest is how your body learns:

“I am safe enough to recover.”

⸻

Today’s Focus: Intentional Rest

This is not about naps only (though those count too).

Your practice today is to rest on purpose, without guilt.

Choose one:
• 🛌 earlier bedtime or a short rest break
• 📵 fewer screens tonight
• 🕯️ quiet evening, low lights
• 🌬️ slow breathing or lying down with music

Even 10–20 minutes matters.

⸻

StrongHer Reminder 💜

Rest is not quitting.
Rest is not falling behind.
Rest is not lazy.

Rest is how the nervous system heals.

You are allowed to pause.
Your body knows what it needs. 🦋✨

01/22/2026

DAY 5: CREATIVE REGULATION 💜

Busy hands calm a busy mind.

When the nervous system is overwhelmed, talking, thinking, or “figuring it out” can feel like too much. That’s because healing doesn’t always happen from the top down (thinking) — it often happens from the bottom up, through the body.

Today is about letting your hands lead the way.

⸻

Today’s Focus: Bottom-Up Healing

Bottom-up regulation works by engaging movement, rhythm, and the senses — helping the body feel safe before the mind needs to understand anything.

⸻

Your Practice (10–15 minutes)

Choose one:

🎨 Coloring or drawing
🧶 Knitting, puzzles, clay, or other handwork
🍳 Slow cooking or baking

No skill required.
No outcome needed.
Process > perfection.

⸻

Why This Works

Repetitive, rhythmic motion activates the parasympathetic nervous system — the part of the body responsible for calm, digestion, and repair.

As your hands move, your nervous system receives the message:

“It’s safe to slow down.”

This can lower stress hormones, reduce anxious looping, and gently bring the body back into balance.

⸻

StrongHer Reminder 💜

You don’t need to explain your healing —
you can create it.

Sometimes calm doesn’t come from words.
It comes from motion, texture, rhythm, and presence.

01/21/2026

DAY 4: RHYTHM & ROUTINE 💜

Predictability calms the nervous system.

When life feels unpredictable or overwhelming, your nervous system stays on high alert — always scanning for what’s next. Gentle routine helps signal safety, not control.

That’s why today isn’t about building a full schedule.
It’s about creating one small rhythm your body can rely on.

⸻

Today’s Focus: Gentle Structure

Your practice is simple:

👉 Do one thing at the same time today
• 🎵 music
• ☕ tea
• 🚶‍♀️ walk
• 🧘‍♀️ stretch
• 🌬️ breathwork

Morning, afternoon, or evening — it doesn’t matter.
Consistency matters more than timing.

⸻

Why This Works

Routine tells your nervous system:

“I know what’s coming.”

That sense of predictability reduces stress hormones, softens anxiety, and helps the body shift out of fight-or-flight. Over time, these small rhythms build trust between you and your body.

⸻

StrongHer Reminder 💜

Small rhythms create big calm.

You don’t need rigid schedules to heal.
You just need a few steady anchors your nervous system can recognize as safe.

DAY 3: NOURISH WITHOUT RESTRICTION 💜

Food can support healing without control or guilt.

When the nervous system is overwhelmed, restriction and “diet rules” can actually increase stress. Healing happens more easily when the body feels supported, not managed.

That’s why today is about adding nourishment, not taking things away.

⸻

Why Nourishment Matters for the Nervous System

Your brain and nervous system need specific nutrients to:
• regulate stress signals
• calm inflammation
• support neurotransmitter balance
• maintain steady energy and mood

When the body doesn’t feel nourished, the nervous system stays on high alert — even if you’re “doing everything right.”

⸻

Today’s Focus: Add One Supportive Food

That’s it. Just one.

Choose any of the following:

🐟 Omega-3s
Found in salmon, sardines, walnuts, flax, and chia seeds.
These fats help calm inflammation and support brain cell communication.

🥬 Leafy Greens
Spinach, kale, Swiss chard, arugula.
Rich in B vitamins and minerals that support nerve signaling and stress resilience.

🥜 Magnesium-Rich Foods
Almonds, pumpkin seeds, cashews, dark chocolate, leafy greens.
Magnesium helps relax muscles, calm the nervous system, and support sleep.

🫒 Olive Oil
A staple of brain-supportive, anti-inflammatory eating.
Supports cell membranes and overall nervous system health.

⸻

StrongHer Reminder 💜

There are no rules today.
No tracking.
No perfection.

Just support.

You don’t need to eat perfectly to heal.
You need to eat enough, consistently, and kindly.

One nourishing choice is enough for today. 🦋✨

01/19/2026

DAY 2: REMOVE THE BIGGEST AGITATORS 💜

Today isn’t about doing everything.
It’s about creating relief.

When your nervous system is already overwhelmed, piling on more changes can backfire. That’s why we focus on removing just 2–3 of the biggest agitators — the ones most likely to overstimulate your system.

👉 Not everything. Just the loudest offenders.

Start with these three:

1️⃣ Artificial sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose)
2️⃣ High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) & ultra-processed sugar
3️⃣ Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) & flavor enhancers (if you’re sensitive)

Why these first?

• They directly overstimulate neurons
• They increase anxiety and inflammation
• They can keep the nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight because they are excitotoxins

Many people notice less anxiety, fewer crashes, and clearer thinking within weeks — simply by reducing these.

This is not a detox.
This is not restriction.
This is reducing nervous system noise.

No fear.
No perfection.
Just label awareness + whole foods.

✨ One small change can make a big difference.
