Enjoy the week before Christmas. It’s not all about how perfect everything is. “If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing right,” no longer resonates with me. It might be half-done. It might be messy, but give it a try. Enjoy being in the moment with family and friends. It’s not about you or me. Focus on the person in front of you. They don’t care about your perfect house or gift, what they will remember is your love and your presence. We are celebrating a King in a manger!! Let’s take our eyes off ourselves. ❤️

I know it’s the holidays! Make small changes this year if it’s normally a time you let loose. 🙂. Eat your sweets after meals, instead of snacking all day. If you fall off the healthy food bandwagon, just get back on again. It’s not all over if you eat some sweets. One piece of cake is different than the whole pan. 😉 Go for a walk after your meals! Try and keep protein a priority. Enjoy your family and the season! Pick a couple things to enjoy and decide to enjoy them without guilt. 🙂.

The biggest weapon we have against the crazy fluctuations hormones can cause? May I suggest…..humility? 😬. Often those around us can help us see ourselves more clearly than we do. Ask trusted friends or your trusted spouse 😉 for help in your fight to think on truth, not live only by your emotional whims, and guard your heart. ❤️ I love you guys!

Intermittent fasting isn’t complicated. It’s just having an eating window and a fasting window. Most people get at least 8 hours overnight without food. If you’re new to fasting, try extending that window by pushing breakfast back 15 minutes a day. Along with that, try and curb late night snacking. 😉. The benefits to the body are amazing, even if you don’t change what you eat and you just compress your eating time.

My journey to health and hormone coaching is very personal, as I listened to people who didn’t take the medical status-quo route when facing hormone and health challenges and instead made lifestyle changes. I firmly believe I would now be on several medications if I followed mainstream advice. Instead, I have found fasting, balancing blood sugar, using food as fuel instead of comfort, and exercise to bring about huge changes in my mind and body. I still have health goals I’m working towards, but the main thing I can say is that I am consistently happy and at peace, instead of driven by emotion and circumstance This has been a huge gift from God, and I am passionate about helping others use the tools God has given us to bring about healing. Medicine isn’t bad in every instance, but doctors are also not counting on you making lifestyle changes. It is not easy, but what amazes me is how you can fix several things at the same time with diet and exercise, and prevent future disease at the same time. Keep working toward your health goals!! It is worth it. ❤️

A checklist for weight loss: 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️

🍷 💊 Get rid of alcohol and meds, even Ibuprofen and Tylenol. These tax the liver and prevent your body from burning fat.

🥑Eat clean! Avoid processed foods as much as possible and refined seed oils. Shop the perimeter of the store, where the real food is!

👟🤿 Get moving! Walking is great for you, but do what you enjoy! Mix it up if that helps. Building muscle by weights of any kind also helps your body process glucose and balance blood sugar.

☀️Eat with the sun: try to eat all your food when the sun is up. When it’s dark out, your body produces melatonin and makes your metabolism sluggish. Avoid snacking after dinner if possible!

🥗 Fiber, fiber, fiber! There is no substitute. Try and get good fiber at every meal. Start with a big salad

🛌😴Prioritize sleep. Make good sleep routines a part of your life: turning off your phone or screens an hour before bed, taking time to wind down. You should aim for 7-9 hours a night.

🤔❤️Check your heart and mind! If you are constantly stressed, your cortisol will be elevated and cause more weight gain. If you have “adrenal fatigue” or very low cortisol, this can be because your body cannot handle that constant fight-or-flight anymore.

If you are a person who struggles with consistent weight loss, there can be many factors. But this is a simple list to check through. I would love to walk with you need more guidance and some accountability. 🙌🏼

Intermittent fasting can be a great way to lose weight and heal the body. Longer fasts can be uniquely suited for healing of the gut, be a brain reset, and can enable healing of injuries. I had no idea the possibilities and the science until I read my first book on fasting benefits However, for women, fasting is nuanced and must be regulated according to hormone patterns so that the body is not overly stressed and you don’t throw your hormones into chaos. For most of my clients, this is the particular help they need. If you have questions, reach out. We don’t have to do a long term coaching situation. I do one-time consultations and get you set up with the diet and lifestyle that you think will work for you so that you can keep going on your own. Several of my clients have gone to functional medicine or naturopathic doctors and given some guidelines, but they need more specific information. I’m happy to help you however you need it!

There is so much you can do to balance your body—hormones, blood sugar, cholesterol, weight—by working on nutrition, fasting, and movement. Don’t settle for pills and supplements (even HRT!). They have their place, but they are no substitute for lifestyle change!

There is no substitute for a reasonable pace. You have the same hours in your day that Jesus did, and he accomplished all his work while leaving some people un-healed and much work undone. ❤️. But he finished all the work his Father had for him, and we have enough hours in our day for that, too. I know we all have lots of reasons we “can’t” slow down—I hear them every day! But if you push yourself constantly, your sleep suffers, and you are always the “yes” person, your body will eventually force you to slow down! If you notice your body is starting to resist your pace, that is a gift to you, and a perfect time to make changes! I would encourage you not to just take more pills or hormones or anything before you ask GOD what’s going on in your heart that you can’t slow down. ❤️
