Let’s talk about the #1 mistake I see when it comes to energy.

Relying on caffeine for energy.

Here’s why it’s holding you back: Caffeine is a stimulant which can cause insomnia (less sleep) = low energy.

The fix?

Get outside in nature. The fresh air and sunshine will wake up your body and naturally increase your energy.

What about you – have you caught yourself making this mistake? Be honest.

Most people still get this wrong about nutrition.

Here are 3 things I wish more people knew:

• Calories in and calories out is a myth
• It is about the food choices you make – are you eating more whole foods rather than packaged?
• Shifting your weight starts with eating the right foods for your body

This is the kind of simple shift that changes everything for your health and well-being.
