MK Shine

It's time to Shine! Manage Weight. Stress Less. Get Fit. Energize. Age Fabulously. Nutrition has fascinated me since I was a child. It's in the core of my being.

I've learned to overcome eating challenges and some health issues with a holistic approach. I believe that healthy lifestyle habits lead to a life that *Shines*. One thing about me, I am a bit of a rebel when it comes to strict diets and the 'latest greatest' thing in nutrition. My motto: Small effective steps lead to lasting transformation, and, A sprinkle of chocolate makes everything better. It is time to Shine. xo, mk

A favorite!

Use turkey or ground chicken or beef or lamb.
Organic tofu, only due to GMO‘s
Quinoa -a good option
Kale substitute for spinach

What did all the generations do before us that didn’t have a public platform to air all their grievances and opinions?
In the words of Prince:

“I don’t think we were supposed to watch television (follow media) and take on all the problems of the world. I don’t think the body is equipped for that”

As a health coach I interpret what he says in this way. Everything is disrupted at the cellular level. Billions of cells in the human body. All responding to the pouring out of reactive hormones and chemicals. Causing inflammation, disease, multiplication of cancer cells, less immunity cells, sleep is disrupted, relationships are destabilized, addictions increase…
This all feeds the toxicity of the body.

What you feed is what grows.

Whatever is good, whatever is lovely whatever is right whatever is praise worthy or excellent… Think about such things. Your cells love it!

Hey 😊 I’m doing a small raffle and wanted to pick something that people would actually use.

So I went with my clean, no-fillers, heavy-metal-free, vegan, gluten-free, high protein meal shake mix—it’s just an easy breakfast or snack, nothing complicated.

A lot of women like it because it helps with energy and getting enough protein without having to think too much about meals.

If you want in, just guess where I am in this photo. Those who know me… know. But to make it fair, you can also give one good reason why I have said that being in nature is healthy.

I’ll pick a name on Monday. 30th. 8:00 am PACIFIC time

Did you know chilling your potatoes turns regular starch into super-powered resistant starch that acts like fiber for your gut?
In short, when people say potatoes are (or have) resistant starch, they usually mean the preparation method has increased the portion of starch that acts more like fiber than a quick-digesting carb—offering gut and metabolic benefits without changing the potato itself much. It’s a simple hack for making a common food a bit healthier. If you’re managing blood sugar or gut issues, this can be a practical adjustment alongside a balanced diet.

Creatine 💥 — more than just a workout supplement 👇

Creatine fuels your muscles 💪, brain 🧠, and nervous system ⚡, helping your body produce the ENERGY (ATP) EVERY cell needs.

Benefits include:
✔ Strength, endurance & recovery 🔄
✔ Lean muscle & healthy aging 🌿
✔ Mental clarity & cognitive support ✨
✔ Better overall cellular energy 🔋

Low ATP can show up as fatigue, brain fog, slow recovery, and reduced strength.

Key fact: Creatine works best with magnesium, which helps it enter muscle cells.

That’s why I love my scientifically formulated creatine-magnesium blend.

✔ 5 grams daily- science supported creatine monohydrate plus magnesium

Want help adding it to your routine?
Message me — I’d love to support your wellness journey.

Most people look for the perfect health routine 👀

But the truth is… health is built on simple habits done consistently.

I’ve taken a multivitamin every day for decades.
Not because it’s exciting.
Because consistency works.
My blood work proves it.
Small habits. Lifelong returns. 💊

PS: After years of focusing on health, one thing is clear: a multivitamin only works if your body can absorb it. That’s why I take one formulated with pure ingredients and superior absorption to help fuel the body at the cellular level. Want it?

Walk with purpose today, age with strength tomorrow ⭐️
Power walking is a simple habit that can make a big difference in long-term health. Walking at a brisk pace raises your heart rate, strengthens the heart and lungs, improves circulation, and helps maintain a healthy weight. Because it’s low-impact and easy to do consistently, power walking helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases while keeping the body active and resilient. Over time, staying active with regular brisk walks can contribute to better overall health, energy, and longevity. 🚶‍♂️💨🫀
PS: add an incline for stronger muscles and faster results

Letting nature do what it does best — restore. 🌿
Time in nature isn’t just relaxing — it’s restorative for the body and mind. Fresh air, natural light, and quiet surroundings help lower stress, support the nervous system, and remind the body how to reset and heal the way it was designed to.

Small habit. Strong physiology 🧂
Salt your way to health by starting your morning with a small amount of high-quality mineral salt to help replenish electrolytes lost overnight and support hydration.

I use the right kind of salt — rich in trace minerals — helps maintain fluid balance, supports nerve and muscle function, and can improve how efficiently your body absorbs water first thing in the morning. In appropriate amounts, proper electrolyte balance also supports normal heart rhythm and cardiovascular function.

Used thoughtfully and in moderation, this simple ritual can help you feel more energized, hydrated, and ready to take on the day.

(Note: if you’re under the care of a doctor who advised you to limit sodium — always check with them before you proceed with additional salt)

PS: yes, you may have heard that salt can be high in mercury and lead. So I did a lot research and I found a couple brands that are exceptional.

Comment SALT or msg and I’ll send info

PSS: water alone does not hydrate. Hydration means electrolytes!

Refined routines. Remarkable results. 🤩
Stretching backward with your arms overhead helps open the chest, lengthen the spine, and counteract the forward posture most of us hold throughout the day. This type of gentle backbend improves flexibility, supports better posture, stimulates circulation, and engages the core and back muscles that protect your spine. It’s a powerful way to wake up the body, create space in the lungs for deeper breathing, and keep your movement strong and fluid as you age.
Every. Single. Morning. Upon Awakening.

Before the world wakes, I hydrate. 💦
First sip. First win. 🏅

My Healthy longevity Habit number 1:

Drinking water first thing in the morning helps your body wake up just like your mind does. After hours of sleep, you’re naturally dehydrated, so that first glass jump-starts metabolism, supports digestion, improves energy, and helps your brain feel clearer. It’s a simple daily signal to your body: we’re taking care of ourselves today.
