Mornings are so much more peaceful when you don’t start out the day on your phone. Heres why:

1. Right after you wake up, natural sunlight is really important because it helps your body regulate your circadian rhythms. 2. It’s peaceful watching the birds, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, and other wildlife meander around. As well as listening to the sounds of nature.
3. Matcha is a great way to start out your day because it is full of l-theanine so it gives you calm, sustained energy. 

lastly, I know in Wisconsin this routine can only go for so long. However, even if it’s a little bit cold, that’s good for your body too. Little stressors are good in building resilience within the body.

Lately I’ve been making this bone broth hot chocolate. Not only does it taste amazing but it’s also got protein and the gut healing properties of bone broth!
Just add all to a pot and simmer on low till warm. As an added punch, I also put in a scoop of mushroom powder. You don’t taste it, but you get those of immunity boosting properties.

The is good news for egg lovers:

Experts once warned that yolks would raise cholesterol. New research says the opposite. Whole eggs are heart-healthy for most people.

If you’re wondering what the difference is in different types of Matcha look inside this mug. If you zoom in you can see that one is a little bit brighter than the other. The brighter one is ceremonial Matcha and the other one is regular Matcha. Doesn’t the brighter green one just look like it would be better for you?! When buying Matcha it’s important to buy ceremonial Matcha.

Will be talking more about this at my class tomorrow night: wellness favorites. Come join me at 6:30 PM in the third and fourth grade classrooms at GCC!

As a 49-year-old perimenopausal woman, these are the supplements I take every day (looks like a lot, but there are a few doubles):

Multivitamin
Omega-3
Probiotic
Vitamin B complex
L-theanine
DIM

The first three are just basics that everyone should be taking. My biggest perimenopausal symptom has been increasing anxiety, so the vitamin B and the L-theanine help with that. the DIM is a supplement that gets rid of excess estrogen.

Test don’t guess!
All thanks goes to Dr Axtell at Lakeside Natural Medicine. Not only has she been checking my blood work for almost 10 years but she’s also been doing saliva testing on my hormones.  it’s important to have a practitioner that’s working with you, not against you.

I was so intrigued by this product when I saw it online. It’s made in small batches with minimal ingredients. The fact that it was made with beef tallow really meant nothing to me. In the whole beef tallow versus seed oil conversation…. both aren’t great. Then I saw them at the store! These bags were maybe half full with the price point of $14! Ridiculous!

A 15-year study in JAMA Internal Medicine has found that added sugar may be a bigger threat to your heart than cholesterol—more than doubling the risk of dying from heart disease, even if you’re not overweight.

People who got 25% or more of their daily calories from added sugar were over twice as likely to die from heart disease as those consuming less than 10%. The danger increased with higher sugar intake, regardless of age, weight, activity level, or cholesterol numbers.

Top sources include sugary drinks (over a third of added sugar in U.S. diets), desserts, candy, sweetened cereals, and fruit drinks. Excess sugar may raise blood pressure and cause the liver to release harmful fats into the blood—both key heart disease risks.

The American Heart Association advises a daily limit of 6 teaspoons (100 calories) for women and 9 teaspoons (150 calories) for men. A single can of soda can exceed these limits. Experts recommend swapping soda for fruit-infused seltzer and opting for fruit-based or unsweetened desserts to protect your heart.
