👀 When this nutrition client came to me in May she wanted weight loss, but when we set her SMART goal we realized she needed to focus on sleep first. 😴

🏋️‍♂️ There are so many factors that affect weight loss and being able to “tone up”. Working out certainly plays a part in these goals, but your nutrition, sleep habits, stress and hormones play a bigger part. Especially once you’re over 40!

🎉 In the almost 7 months working together by Zoom she has had some big wins with sleep and other daily habits. We only just started diving deep into nutrition the last few weeks!

🕰️ Changing habits takes time. It’s like cooking in a crock pot, NOT a microwave. Changing your habits is what will lead to a lifetime of healthier choices. Run from anyone who tells you otherwise.

❓What step can you take today to start your habit changes?

Yoga helps with depression. Studies prove it. 💖

“After eight weeks, yoga participants had a significantly greater reduction in depressive symptoms than waitlisted participants, as assessed through what’s known as the clinician-rated Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS-CR) scale.

Also, investigators observed that 59.3 percent of yoga participants had a 50 percent or greater decrease in symptoms, compared with 6.3 percent of waitlist participants. Moreover, 44 percent in the yoga arm achieved such low IDS-CR scores that their depression was considered in remission, compared with 6.3. percent in the waitlist arm.

In a randomized controlled clinical trial, heated yoga sessions led to reduced depressive symptoms in adults with moderate-to-severe depression.

❌ It’s a common misconception that yoga is a religion. ❌

🧘‍♀️ While yoga derives from ancient Indian spiritual practices, it’s not a religion. Especially in Western American culture.

🇺🇸 We the people have “Americanized” it and it’s much more of a workout and space to calm your mind and body amidst the stressors of today’s world.

🧘‍♀️ Meditation can be used in the Christian faith just as much as any other faith or it can be practiced without any faith at all.

💫 I encourage you to let go of pre-conceived notions and give it a try. You might find it’s exactly what you need. And if you don’t? That’s ok too. 👍🏼
