Good morning friends ⛅️. How did you sleep last night? 😅

Today’s reminder- Sleep affects fat loss mostly through appetite, hormones, recovery, and how your body uses energy!

When you get 7-9 hours of sleep:
- You feel less hungry due to a balanced leptin and ghrelin (fullness and hunger hormones)
- You bloat less and manage stress better due to a balanced cortisol
- You burn more calories because you move more, build muscle better and recover better from your workouts
- You have a balanced blood sugar and less insulin spikes. Insulin is a fat storage hormone.

If you feel you need sleep support, filling in gaps is important! Here are some supplements that have been proven to improve sleep: Magnesium glycinate, inositol, glycine.

Kalyn’s transformation, friends. Let’s GO! 💥👏🏻
In just a short time, she dropped 32 lbs and gained back so much more: confidence. energy. clarity. control.

Immediate results. But not a ‘quick fix’.
Daily progress. But not a ‘perfect week.
Just real support, a plan that fit her body and her life. the decision to keep showing up.

32 lbs down ↘️
A whole new chapter up.↗️

Kalyn, we’re proud of you- and grateful you trusted us with your journey.

If you’ve been thinking, ‘I need to do something, but I don’t know where to start’, this is your sign.

Down 💥24 lbs💥- and gained so much more.

Friends, meet Allison. When she walked into our clinic, she wasn’t just tired of the scale. She was tired of feeling stuck in a body that didn’t match her effort. Tired of “starting over” every Monday. Tired of doing it alone.

Today, Allison is 24 pounds lighter- but the real win is what you can’t measure: More energy. More confidence. More control.

No crash diets. No shame. No guessing.
Just a plan built for her body, real accountability, and a team that didn’t let her quit on herself.

If you’ve been thinking, “I’ve tried everything”… you don’t need another random tip.
You need a structured science-based approach and support that actually fits your life.

👇🏻This is your sign.

If you walk into 2026 still finding your way, you are not alone.
If you’re in a good season, be kind to those who don’t smile. You don’t know what someone is going through.

They didn’t just make a resolution. They took action and rewrote their journeys.

Christine and Andy decided they are tired of feeling like their health was always slipping to the bottom of the priority list. They decided to prioritize themselves and found an approach that actually worked, and support that didn’t disappear after week two.

Together, they committed to something different- structured change, weight loss that lasts.

Today, the results are powerful:
Christine- down 100 lbs.
Andy- down 75 lbs.

But the most meaningful transformation isn’t only what the scale shows.

It’s waking up with more energy and less pain.
It’s walking into a room with quiet confidence instead of hesitation.
It’s seeing photos and feeling proud instead of avoiding the camera.
It’s small, everyday moments- stairs that don’t feel like a punishment, clothes that fit comfortably, sleep that’s deeper, and a body that finally feels like it’s working with you again.

Friend, if you read this and you’ve been telling yourself “this is the year,” let their journey be your proof: real change is possible—with the right approach, guidance and a strategy that’s built for you.

If you’re ready to start your own transformation, we’re here.

Here it is! The annual ✨New Year✨ Cleansing Soup🍲for weight loss, gut health and wholesome reset. 🙌🏻

I am looking forward to cooking this soup every year. First weekend of the year, unless we travel, and then, I’m looking forward to to making it when we get home. It’s a tradition, a ritual of some sort… to nourish your body and soul.

A good-for-you comforting soup- one of those simple meals that quietly does a lot- ‘cleanses’ while it packs in real nourishment in an easy-to-digest way. It’s comfort in a bowl- the familiar smell filling the kitchen, the slow simmer that makes the house feel calm, and the satisfying rhythm of chopping and stirring. It’s a kind of care you can taste: grounding, cozy, and reassuring, especially when the year is just beginning and you want to start it feeling renewed and looked after.

RECIPE:
- 2-3 gallons water- depending if you like a lot of broth or not. 3 gallons will make a lot of soup. But you won’t have to add water if you start here- some of the water evaporates as the soup cooks. You can freeze the extra broth or simply use the extra soup for your weekly prep. *You can also start with less water. Use a deep enough pot so that the chicken is fully immersed. Then add more water as the chicken cooks, if too much water evaporates.
- 1 whole chicken, organic
- 3 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons sea salt (more if needed for taste)
- 7 large carrots
- 3 large parsnip roots
- 3 medium turnips
- 3 onions
- 6 celery stalks
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- approximately 5 inches ginger* (don't leave out)
- 1/4-1/3 cup apple cider vinegar* (don't leave out)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- cavenne pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley, fresh
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, fresh
- fresh lemon

Instructions:

Use a large (deep) pot and get the water to boil. When the water starts boiling, add the whole chicken, bay leaves and salt. Boil on low heat, (make sure the water is 'bubbling' slowly) for 5-7 hours. I cover my pot for almost the entire cooking time to prevent too much water loss. The extended cooking time yields a rich chicken-bone broth.

When chicken meat is soft and detaches from bone (5-7 hours), use a spatula to take the chicken out. Debone and chop the meat (make sure to eliminate all bones, even the tiny ones) then return the chopped meat to the pot along with the prepped vegetables-see next paragraph.

While the chicken cooks, peel the vegetables. Using a food processor, or manually, chop the all the vegetables. Once the chicken is cooked, add all vegetables to pot along with remaining ingredients (except for cilantro, parsley and lemon).

Cook for about 1 hour until veggies are soft but not mushy.
Serve topped with chopped cilantro and parsley.
Optional: sprinkle with fresh lemon juice.
Enjoy hot!
