The power of Joy!

Joy is a powerful form of medicine, and yet it’s often one we overlook.

It’s easy to dwell on the hard things, to get pulled into negative headlines, or to replay the worries that drain our energy.

But joy is still there.

My encouragement to you is to turn your attention to the good—to the people who uplift you, the moments in your day that made you smile, and the blessings already in your life.

Lean into joy today.

Our food has become so ultraprocessed that many of us are now deficient in essential minerals...

Dr. Linus Pauling, a two-time Nobel Prize winner, famously stated that all diseases could be traced back to a mineral deficiency. This insight speaks to the critical role minerals play in our overall health. Essential minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium are key to supporting everything from bone health to heart function.

Yet, in today’s modern diet, many of us fall short on these vital nutrients. A lack of minerals can lead to a variety of health issues, making it all the more important to ensure your diet is rich in these building blocks. Whether through whole foods or supplements, maintaining proper mineral intake is essential.

As Pauling suggested, mineral deficiencies could be the hidden cause behind many ailments. Prioritizing a balanced, mineral-rich diet may not only prevent disease but also enhance your overall well-being. 💎🍏

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to fall into the trap of reaching for medications to solve our health problems. But true healing comes from within. You don’t need more prescriptions—you need more minerals, more movement, and more real food.

By focusing on natural, whole foods and being active, you can strengthen your immune system, increase your energy levels, and improve your mental clarity. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and minerals combined with regular exercise is the foundation for long-term health.

Nourish your body with what it truly needs, and embrace a lifestyle that promotes natural healing. 🍎🏃‍♀️

Beat them into you ......

Eggs have been unfairly demonized over the years, but it’s time to set the record straight. Contrary to popular belief, the yolk is a rich source of nutrients, vitamins, and healthy fats. Eating eggs, even in larger quantities, doesn’t have the same negative impact on cholesterol levels that many once thought.

Brown eggs aren’t inherently healthier than white eggs; they offer the same nutritional benefits. The focus should be on how eggs fit into your overall diet, not on baseless myths. Incorporating eggs into your meals can be part of a balanced and healthy diet, supporting your body’s nutritional needs.

Let go of outdated beliefs and embrace eggs as a valuable part of your diet. They’re a rich source of protein and essential nutrients—perfect for a healthy lifestyle. 🍳🥚

The importance of strength training 3 x weekly & eating enough protein (at least 1g/kg/day ideal body weight) for weight management.

If you don't do that, almost half the weight loss is muscle. Once you stop the diet/drug treatment - the weight all goes back on as fat. The muscle doesn't just return.

Muscle burns 7 x the calories of fat so your metabolism slows further and weight becomes even harder to regulate.
