2026….
👉🏻Find your people who support your goals for self-improvement, whatever that may look like. A better version of you!
👉🏻Focus on “Health,” not a number on a scale.
👉🏻Eat REAL food. Clean out your pantry! If the food won’t rot or mold within a few weeks, it is probably not real food. Have I told you about my experiment with fast food? I kept a McDonald’s hamburger and fries for over 11 years. Two years later after I purchased that hamburger and fries, I went to 4 other fast foods & purchased their food. I kept those for nine years. None of them ever rotted and molded. NONE. What does that tell you?! You cut an apple in half, what happens to the apple within 30 minutes? You got it! Real food will decay. Real food offers vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and molecules that support the mitochondria of your cells and helps support your body in detoxification & hormone production.
👉🏻Support your gut health. You aren’t exactly “what you eat” but instead you are “what you digest & absorb.” We encourage real food & we love BPC-157 peptide to heal the gut (at Holistic Health Collective).
👉🏻Get active! Find what you enjoy & create a regimen. Have your support group if you need it!
👉🏻Get at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep. The best hours of sleep for resetting the hormones & preventing cortisol from going crazy is 10 PM to 2 AM, so if you are a late nighter, you are missing your sweet spot! You can retrain your body! Ladies, progesterone can be your best friend. And any gender can take a peptide called DSIP, which we offer at Holistic Health Collective, to help get your body back in flow with the correct circadian rhythm for optimal health.
👉🏻Get labs done to know your baseline! You cannot choose the genes you inherited, but you can determine if you turn on the proper switches or not by lifestyle choices. Your genetics hold the gun but your lifestyle choices are what pulls the trigger… or NOT. Choose wisely. We offer all forms of testing at Holistic Health Collective, which has Searcy’s Walk-In Lab Clinic! The walk-in clinic offers Quest Diagnostics plus ALL types of Functional Medicine Tests! Know your baseline! Test your vitamin D (goal is >60) since it is known by researchers as the “other hormone.“ Get all of your thyroid labs ran, not just TSH and free-T4. Get your s*x hormone panel ran! Test for leaky gut and candida overgrowth, because you can’t digest and absorb when you have these issues!
👉🏻Be Still. Don’t let fearmongering and the chaos of this world to derail you and have your mind going all over the place!
You can’t be in tune with inner Spirit and have Peace when fearmongering has your nervous system in overdrive.
👉🏻Increase your water! One of the biggest signs of dehydration is fatigue between 2 and 4 PM.
👉🏻Don’t Slack on the 4 foundational supplements that most Americans need to be on if not eating properly: omega-3’s, magnesium glycinate/malate/threonate, probiotics, and vitamin D3/K2.
👉🏻Laugh. Do grounding & box breathing. It’s natural medicine for your nervous system and immunity.
👉🏻Pick and choose your battles wisely… do the best you can with your health. Start off slow and gradually increase as you gain confidence and momentum. Drop the internal judgement for “not doing enough.”
Everyone is on their own journey.
👉🏻Let tears flow. That is the body’s natural way to process, feel, and grieve. Suppressing only harms the nervous system which eventually leads to hormone disruption, gut dysbiosis, impaired sleep, and cortisol spikes, which eventually leads to weight gain and disease.
👉🏻Find your SPARK. Add some spice to life. Let your WHY be your motivator.
👉🏻Your journey & vulnerability can be someone’s light in their darkest hours. Be authentically you!
Much love to you all! And may 2026 be your best yet! -Christie
