✨ New Course! ✨
I was so inspired by last week’s live session that I created something just for you:

➡️ The Shift Method – From Friction to Flow
An 8-week mindset journey for people who feel stuck even when they’re doing all the right things.

This isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about noticing your patterns—resistance, perfectionism, self-doubt—and learning how to soften and shift them.

Each week, we’ll explore a powerful theme and practice that helps you move forward with more clarity, ease, and momentum.

🔁 Short lessons
🧠 Gentle mindset work
🌿 Real change

Let’s move through it together.
Enrollment is open now. Link in bio!

You can look metabolically perfect on paper — lean, low insulin, normal CRP — and still have silent plaque building up in your arteries.

That’s what happened in a recent study of people on keto with skyrocketing LDL (aka Lean Mass Hyper-Responders).

The average plaque progression was +18.8 mm³ in just one year — a rate you’d typically expect in people with diabetes or inflammatory disease.

But here’s the kicker: that part wasn’t included in the final paper. It was pre-registered as the primary outcome… and then quietly removed.

If you’re trying keto for health or longevity, this is worth a pause. Not fear — just clarity. Because root cause health means looking at the whole picture, not just a few lab wins.

💛 Want support making long-term choices that protect your heart, hormones, and health? That’s exactly what I do.

🔥 Heart Health Myths... BUSTED! 🔥

You’ve heard these before, but are they true? 🤔

🚫 Myth: Cholesterol is the biggest risk factor for heart disease.
✅ Truth: 50% of heart attacks happen in people with normal cholesterol. Inflammation & insulin resistance matter more.

🚫 Myth: Cardio is the best for heart health.
✅ Truth: Strength training may be even better for metabolic health & blood pressure.

🚫 Myth: PPIs for heartburn are harmless.
✅ Truth: Long-term use can harm gut & heart health—focus on gut healing instead.

🚫 Myth: If you’re not overweight, your heart is fine.
✅ Truth: Thin people can still have major heart disease risks.

Your heart health is about more than just cholesterol! ❤️

🌟 Ready to master the art of oil selection? Here’s your guide to choosing the healthiest oils for cooking and dressing! 🍳🥗

For Cooking:

Ghee: Ideal for high-heat cooking, ghee is rich in fat-soluble vitamins and free from milk solids.
Coconut Oil: With its medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), it’s great for frying and baking, offering quick energy and fat burning benefits.
Avocado Oil: Perfect for searing and roasting, it has a high smoke point and is loaded with monounsaturated fats.

For Dressing:

Olive Oil: A staple in the Mediterranean diet, this oil is fantastic for cold dishes and drizzling over salads, rich in antioxidants and monounsaturated fats.
Avocado Oil: Similar to olive oil, it’s excellent for homemade dressings, offering a creamy texture and heart-healthy fats.
Flaxseed Oil: Best kept out of the heat, flaxseed oil is super for drizzling over finished dishes or blending into smoothies for an omega-3 boost.
Oils to Avoid:

Vegetable Oil, Canola Oil, and Corn Oil: High in omega-6 fats and often processed, these oils can promote inflammation and are best replaced with healthier alternatives.
Why avoid seed oils? These oils can degrade under heat, contributing to oxidative stress and inflammation in your body.

Elevate your meals with the right oils—your taste buds and your health will thank you! 🌟💧

Getting lost in the labels? 🏷️ Let’s break down what they really mean when it comes to your protein choices! 🥩🐔🐟

Grass-Fed: Animals are given access to graze on grass during their growing season, which can lead to leaner and more nutrient-dense meat packed with omega-3s.

Free-Range: This label indicates that poultry has had some access to the outdoors, allowing for a more natural lifestyle and potentially healthier meat.

Wild-Caught: Fish that swim freely in their natural ocean, river, or lake habitats offer higher amounts of omega-3 fatty acids compared to their farm-raised counterparts.

🌱✨ Ready to detox your life? Becoming aware of toxins and knowing where they lurk is the first step to a healthier you and a cleaner environment! 🌍💧

Common Toxin Sources:

Household Cleaners: Many contain harsh chemicals. Opt for natural or DIY alternatives like vinegar and baking soda.
Personal Care Products: Watch out for parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances. Choose products with transparent, simple ingredients.
Processed Foods: These can be full of additives and preservatives. Stick to whole, organic foods when possible.
Plastic Containers: Bisphenol A (BPA) and other chemicals in plastics can leach into food and drinks. Use glass or stainless steel instead.
Why It’s Important:
Reducing exposure to toxins can significantly improve your health, reducing risks of allergies, hormonal imbalances, and even chronic diseases.

Tips for a Toxin-Free Lifestyle:

Read Labels Carefully: Knowledge is power! Understanding ingredient lists helps you avoid harmful chemicals.

Support Eco-Friendly Companies: Choosing products from companies committed to non-toxic ingredients supports healthier ecosystems and economies.

Let’s empower ourselves by choosing safer, cleaner options every day! 🌟
