The holidays are where most people lose momentum -

not because they don’t care, but because the stress, travel, and chaos take over.

Comment THRIVE and we’ll send you our guide with simple strategies to feel your best this season while still ENJOYING yourself

This year, I’m choosing differently 👇

💪 My workouts - even if they’re shorter

😴 My sleep - my oura ring helps keeps me honest

🍽️ My blood sugar - using sequencing + balance

🧘‍♀️ My peace - saying no, breathing, using my PEMF mat

You don’t have to restrict yourself to stay on track - you just have to protect what matters most.

Our Thriving During the Holidays Guide walks you through simple ways to stay balanced, energized, and grounded through the season.

When it comes to longevity, it’s not about how long you live -

it’s about how long you can keep doing the things you love.

The truth?

Most of us focus on nutrition or strength, but the single best predictor of lifespan and healthspan is your VO₂ max - how efficiently your body uses oxygen.

Higher VO₂ max = better energy, stronger heart, healthier metabolism, and lower risk of disease.

That’s why the American Heart Association calls it a vital sign - it’s that important.

At Shine, we actually test VO₂ max right in the office using our PNOĒ machine.

It’s one of my favorite tools because it gives us a real-time look at how your heart, lungs, and metabolism are working together - and helps us build a truly personalized plan for longevity and performance.

So if you’ve been working out, eating well, and wondering what’s actually moving the needle on your long-term health - this is your answer.

💬 Comment STRONG and we’ll send you a link to book a free Discovery Call to learn more about how we use VO₂ testing and personalized strength goals to help you live stronger, longer.

Most people know Vitamin K for its role in blood clotting - but it also plays a huge role in bone density and cardiovascular health.

If you’re..
➕supplementing with Vitamin D or calcium
➕managing cholesterol with statins
➕dealing with gut issues
➕or heading into perimenopause

…your need for Vitamin K may be higher than average.

✨What I love about this vitamin is how quietly powerful it is - helping calcium land where it belongs (in your bones), and not where it doesn’t (in your arteries).

Because everyone’s absorption and conversion of K1 → K2 is different, we often personalize supplementation based on labs, symptoms, and diet.

Big news for women’s health. 💥

The FDA has officially removed the black box warning on estrogen therapy - a major step forward after decades of fear, confusion, and misinformation.

Here’s why this matters 👇

Estrogen isn’t just about symptom relief - it’s one of the most protective hormones we have.

The real problem?

We now have an entire generation of physicians who were never trained in how to safely and effectively prescribe estrogen - all because of that warning.

So instead of asking your doctor “what are the risks of taking estrogen?”

Start asking:
👉 “What are the risks of not taking it?”

If this is something you are looking for support on, I’d love to help you on your journey.

You don’t always need a new plan…

Sometimes you need support getting consistent with the basics.

These are the habits that regulate your metabolism and keep your energy steady.

And if you’ve been doing all the right things and still feel off, it’s time to dig deeper.

✨ Comment HEAL and we’ll send you the link to book a free Discovery Call - let’s figure out what your body actually needs right now.

His doctor told him his labs were “normal.”

And technically, they were - if you only look at the standard markers.

❗️But when we dug deeper, we saw the real story: insulin resistance near the top of the chart, liver stress, and inflammatory markers suggesting a very different reality.

He was heading toward cardiovascular disease… and had no idea.

✨The good news? Within a few weeks, he was sleeping better, had lost 11 pounds, his energy skyrocketed, and he finally felt young again.

Here’s the thing - waiting for your labs to be “bad” before taking action is like waiting for the check engine light to flash before changing your oil.

➡️Prevention doesn’t have to be complicated - it just has to start before the crash.

Medicine is evolving - and this time, it’s moving in the right direction.

The FDA just approved a mitochondria-targeted peptide (SS31) - a big step toward the kind of personalized, root-cause care we’ve been practicing for years.

At Shine, we use targeted peptide therapy to support:

⚡ Metabolism and fat loss

🧠 Brain health

💧 Hormone and cellular balance

🛡️ Immune regulation

But this isn’t just about new tools.

It’s about a new mindset - looking deeper, acting sooner, and helping your body function better, not just masking the symptoms.

If you’ve been feeling drained, foggy, or stuck in survival mode…

There’s a reason - and it can be uncovered.

💬 Comment VITALITY below, and we’ll send you the link to book a Discovery Call.

We’ll talk about what’s really driving your symptoms - and how we can help you feel like yourself again.

Finishing strong doesn’t mean doing everything perfectly.

It’s about showing up, paying attention, and making small adjustments when life gets busy.

I’ve had to do a lot of that lately.

⏱️Time, focus, hydration, rest - these are the things that challenge me the most right now.

Instead of fighting it, I’m working with it.

Some days that means shifting my workout or taking a rest day.

Other days it’s just getting organized, drinking my water, or starting the day with veggies.

✨Progress doesn’t always look perfect - but it always counts.

What challenge are you working through right now as we head into the end of the year?
