Let’s talk about Dopamine.... your brain’s feel-good neurotransmitter that supports motivation, focus, energy, and a positive mood.

When dopamine is balanced, you feel motivated, energized, and emotionally stable.

When it’s low, you may feel tired, unmotivated, moody, or crave quick fixes like sugar or caffeine.

The good news? You can support healthy dopamine levels naturally!

Your lymphatic system is basically your body’s detox drainage system. It clears out toxins, waste, and excess fluid. But unlike your heart, it doesn’t have a pump. It relies on movement, muscle contraction, and massage to keep things flowing.

Stress is SNEAKY...

Some think that stress only shows up as a stomachache, tossing and turning at night, a tension headache, or the feeling of overwhelm. But the truth is, it creeps into your body in ways you might never connect. From skin flare-ups to food cravings, forgetting simple words, to eye twitches…

These are all signs that your body is sending you a SOS that your nervous system is working overtime.

P.S. We can help your nervous system handle stress better.

If you are drinking enough water to be healthy and stay hydrated, you are coming into contact with thousands of chemicals.

💦 The good news is that you can filter your water.💦

There are a lot of filtration options out there and filtration on any level is better than no filtration.

🍂 Fall Step Challenge! 🍂

As we head into fall, it’s easy to let routines slide, but this is the perfect time to focus on YOU. That’s why we’re kicking off a Step Into Better Health Challenge!

Why walking? Because daily steps can transform your health:
✨ Boosts heart health & lowers blood pressure
✨ Helps balance weight & blood sugar
✨ Keeps muscles, bones & joints strong
✨ Improves mood, focus & reduces stress
✨ Supports longevity & lowers disease risk
✨ Builds stamina for everyday life

💡 Small steps = BIG results. You don’t have to hit 10,000 right away, just start moving more today. Park farther away, take the stairs, add an evening walk, or get outside on your lunch break.

👉 Your Challenge:
✔️ Set a daily step goal (start where you’re at ~ 6,000–10,000)
✔️ Track your steps with the free Gym Rat app
✔️ Share your progress for accountability
✔️ Celebrate your wins with the group for motivation in our FB group
✔️ Finish the season feeling healthier, stronger, and more energized!

We’ll be cheering each other on every step of the way. Who’s ready to join the challenge? We start on October 1st and go for 10 days. Drop a 🚶‍♀️ in the comments if you’re in!
