🚨 Your fave snacks could be as addictive as booze and smokes. 🚨

Don’t just take my word for it, science says so!

Can’t quit the chips and ice cream? You’re not alone, the struggle is REAL. Why? ‘Cause junk food lights up your brain just like addictive stuff.

Choose kale over cookies - your body and mind will thank you. 💚🌿

Guess what? The EU just banned the sale of loose plastic glitter! 🚫✨

It’s all part of their big plan to slash microplastic pollution by 30% by 2030. And soon, they’ll be broadening the ban to include cosmetics, detergents, and some toys too. Oh, and they’re also stepping up their game to stop those tiny plastic pellets from making a mess of our planet. 🌏

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month aka Pinktober, a month that challenges the breast cancer community. Inspired by ’s enlightening content last year, I made a decision not to blindly support, but to be an informed consumer. I looked up Susan G. Komen’s 2022 Financial Statements (readily available on their website), which revealed less than 16% of their spend went to cancer research. Shockingly, a mere 0.03% and 0.02% of their 2021 spend went to health screening and treatment services, respectively.

But let’s talk . Defined by , a pinkwasher is a company or organization that claims to care about breast cancer by promoting a pink ribbon product, but at the same time produced, manufacture and/or sells products containing chemicals that are linked to the disease. As October unfolds, I urge you to . Demand transparency, research products, and prioritize companies that don’t just capitalize on the pink wave.

When checking this year’s Pink Ribbon products, don’t be fooled by toxic ingredients. Did you know environmental and lifestyle factors cause 90-95% of breast cancer cases? Let’s pivot October to Breast Cancer Prevention Month.

If you’re a breast cancer survivor finding October challenging, your feelings are valid. This month, many survivors have shared their varied emotions about the ubiquitous pink. For those looking to proactively reduce breast cancer risk, consider focusing on nutrition and lifestyle changes that empower daily life as well as your breast health.

If you want to genuinely impact breast cancer patients in your life, listen more and talk less. As you listen you’ll find they need practical help. Directly hand them cash. Help them with groceries, bills, and the daily essentials. For many, treatment costs are financially devastating. Choose to make a tangible difference.

As we stand firm against pinkwashing, remember: breast cancer isn’t a marketing gimmick. Let’s be conscious and informed. If this resonates, drop a ❤️ below.

Did you know it’s Sober October? Crazy to think I’m at 5640 days (that’s nearly 15 and a half years!) without a drop.

Back in college, I’d go out and binge-drink a few times a week, which would totally mess up my studying and training. One morning, I just woke up and thought, “I’m done with this.” So here I am, 5640 days later, feeling grateful, growing, and with zero regrets. 🎉

Ever been scared of soy? Let’s clear the air!

Myth 1: All soy is evil. 🚫 Reality: Sure, some soy is messed with and in the US, a lot of it is genetically modified. The goal is to choose non-GMO, organically grown soy. Remember, soy in its pure form is a gift from God, it’s just humans who have meddled with it.

Myth 2: Soy's estrogen causes cancer. 🚫 Reality: The estrogen in birth control, hormone-fed meats, plastics, and pesticides is WAY stronger than the plant estrogen in soy. Soy's gentle estrogen actually says a polite hello to your cells, checks if it's needed, and if not, it just chills, blocking out the nasty stuff. So, it's more of a guardian than a villain.

Myth 3: Soy interferes with thyroid function. 🚫 Reality: It’s the opposite! Soy helps shield us from harmful estrogens that can mess with our thyroid function. It’s like the cool friend who’s got your back against the hormone havoc.

So, with some myths busted, feel free to relish that tofu without a worry! Double tap if you’re feeling the soy love now. 💕

If you’ve ever felt the itch to slow down - you’re not alone! And guess what? That desire isn’t necessarily a lack of ambition; it’s like your body’s way of saying, “Hey, maybe this pace isn’t for me.”

So, a little backstory on me: I’ve been all in on that life since I got my first job at 14 years old, always ticking off to-dos like there’s no tomorrow. But a couple of months ago I did a comprehensive s*x and adrenal hormone test as part of some preconception lab work and I was shocked when my functional medicine doctor told me my results were what you would see earlier in a stress circuit. I told her I didn’t even feel stressed! She explained my body’s showing that even though I might be performing well, I might be overusing cortisol (stress hormone) to do it. In her words, “If you’re just really high-performing and used to going boom boom boom boom through your list, you can seem successful doing it that way, but the problem now is that you’re too much in fifth gear and when the body’s in fifth gear, for the female biology, this is survival mode.” She also shared that if I weren’t living in a highly nutritionally sound way, I’d be way more symptomatic, but if I continue at this rate I’ll hit a wall and my diet/lifestyle won’t be enough to stop it.

This was a huge wake-up call. I had to rethink how I was running my life, full throttle. Now, I’m shifting gears to better align with my body’s needs. Everyone’s journey is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, but I’ve shared on the last two slides the things that have really been helping me live more in tune with my physiology.

And look, if this whole chat isn’t resonating with you, no hard feelings! If you’re crushing it in fifth gear and loving it, that’s awesome. Just be aware that if you’re on birth control or if you’re running on pure stress, it could be messing with your body and mind in ways you might not even realize. So you do you, but just make sure you’re making choices that really align with who you are.

Okay, I’ve gotta share this with you. 🌸 You don’t need an endless skincare routine with a gazillion steps. Honestly? Glowing skin has more to do with what you’re eating and how you’re living than any magic potion. Eat those nutrient-packed foods, sleep well, embrace the sunshine, and be mindful of what you’re putting on your skin and in your body.

Did you know our skin is our largest organ? So, what goes on it eventually gets inside of us. Be aware of stuff like sulfates in shampoos or aluminum in deodorants. They can mess with our gut and hormones, which affects our skin too.

My current skincare routine is super simple: I just wash with non-toxic cleanser and use a non-toxic moisturizer. At the moment I buy from sources I trust but I’m going to start making my own.

Diet-wise, I’m all about whole plant foods. Fresh fruits & veggies for essential vitamins, bell peppers for vitamin C (which supports the body’s natural production of collagen), and sweet potatoes for that good old beta-carotene, which the body converts into retinol. Avoiding processed stuff is key. I mean, the only times I’ve faced skin issues are after eating out, when I don’t know what ingredients are going into my food. And oh! I get my daily dose of sun, always without sunscreen. We need that natural light, it’s healing! 🌞

I’d love to know - what’s been the biggest game changer for your skin that isn’t a product? 🌼
