🤔 Commonly Asked Question: “Are organic veggies and fruits healthier?”

⚖️ The answer is… wait for it… it’s complicated!

There’s no real evidence that organically grown produce contains more vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients than conventionally grown, according to researchers.

But something that organic produce doesn’t have: a layer of pesticide residue!

Eating enough fruits and veggies (organic or not) is a key part of a healthy diet — so knowing which ones have the most residue can be good info when shopping!

It can help you save money AND upgrade from conventional to organic when it makes sense.

⛔ Here’s the latest top 12 “Dirty Dozen” fruits & veggies, from the EWG:

Strawberries
Spinach
Kale, collard, mustard greens
Peaches
Pears
Nectarines
Apples
Grapes
Bell and hot peppers
Cherries
Blueberries
Green beans

A total of 210 pesticides were found on Dirty Dozen items.

Some studies link those pesticides to health issues like hormonal imbalance, weight gain, mood issues, and a bunch of other struggles we’d all rather not deal with.

So if you CAN buy these items organic, that may be your best bet.

💪 Every morning, you have a choice: you can hit the “snooze” button on your goals — or wake up inspired and go after them.

Starting your day with a SPECIFIC goal or intention helps you stay focused and keeps you moving forward.

But if you want to take it up a notch?

📓🖊️ ENDING your day with a quick reflection on what went well and what you can do differently tomorrow will help your brain clarify your thoughts.

It's all about creating a cycle of positive action: morning motivation to propel you forward, and evening reflection to help you refocus.

So, what's one goal you're working toward now? Let's inspire each other in the comments below! ✨

If you're looking to make your goals a reality, my virtual 90 day program, Rise up 90: The Lean & Confident Blueprint for Busy Women is here to guide you every step of the way. DM me 'DETERMINATION' and let’s make it happen together!

❤️ What’s the difference between affirmations and intentions? And does it even matter?

▶️ Both are powerful mindset tools backed by science. So, yes, it matters!

Especially when they work together.

Here’s one way to think of them:

☔ Affirmations are like an umbrella, protecting you from negativity and distractions by shielding you with positive thoughts.

🏃‍♀️ Intentions are all about the things you intend to do UNDER the umbrella to make your goals a reality!

EXAMPLE:
Affirmation: My body is resilient, capable, and strong.
Intention: My food choices today will support my health and fitness goals.

Today think up a couple of affirmation and intention combos that are aligned with your goals — and then put them to work for you!

Another great way to boost your results is with accountability and support. Rise up 90: The Lean & Confident Blueprint for Busy Women helps you lose weight without feeling deprived. You can learn more here: https://thrivecoach.link/KO2cl9Y6

"I don't understand what I'm reading or how to use this information."

That's what a client said to me on a coaching call about reading nutrition labels. Understanding nutrition labels is the start to learning how to manage your macros.

❓MYTH OR FACT ❓

👉 Keeping your life in balance is a lifelong process.


🙈


🙉


🙊

FACT.

How awesome would it be to reach a magical state of balance where you could flip on autopilot? (Very awesome)

⚖️ But the truth is that as your goals, priorities, and life stage change — the things that keep you feeling happy, balanced, and fulfilled change too!

As an example, if you’re working on a fitness or health goal, it can mean shifting time and focus away from other areas, at least temporarily.

The same thing goes with a growing family, career, or other area of your life.

🧘The key is to adapt and not neglect what’s truly important to you!

You can learn how to make that happen with my brand-new ebook: Your 2024 Mind-Body-Spirit Goals Roadmap (+ printable worksheet).

🛑 STOP “should-ing” yourself! 🛑

This time of year, you might be tempted to overhaul EVERY area of your life...

You start telling yourself things like:

“I should start going to the gym”
“I should start drinking more water”
“I should stop eating junk food”
“I should go to bed earlier”
“I should stop scrolling on my phone so much”

But by February? All of those “shoulds” end up spiraling right down the proverbial drain.

So what if this year — instead of burying ourselves in lofty goals in every area of our lives…

We do things a little DIFFERENTLY.

We've got a complete roadmap to help you get there.

If that sounds like a breath of fresh air, then we want to invite you to download our FREE 2024 Mind-Body-Spirit Goals Roadmap (and worksheet!).

Are you NOT seeing weight loss results, even though you are exercising and your nutrition is “on point”?

Not getting enough quality sleep could be the culprit!

Getting enough sleep is crucial for your weight goals. When you're sleep-deprived, your body messes with hunger hormones. Leptin, the fullness signal, drops while ghrelin, the hunger signal, shoots up, making you crave fatty and sugary snacks. Plus, poor sleep messes with insulin and glucose, making weight loss tougher and causing fatigue.

Even worse, sleep loss can spike cortisol, increasing evening appetite, especially for high-sugar foods. Surprisingly, skimping on sleep doesn't aid weight loss—it actually leads to weight gain by messing up your body's natural balance.

Here are a few tips to get better sleep. Be consistent and patient. This takes time!

1. Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning, including on the weekends
2. Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, relaxing, and at a comfortable temperature
3. Remove electronic devices, such as TVs, computers, and smartphones, from the bedroom
4. Avoid large meals, caffeine, and alcohol before bedtime

Pick one or 2 of the above tips and start applying them to create your ideal bedtime routine. Keep a sleep journal to see how/if they are helping.

Who would have thought that our parents were right to make us have a bedtime routine!?
