This is why I can’t send anyone to the store! 😂 But… maybe now I can! I have never heard of the Olive App. I used to use Yuka but discovered that they are based on the EWG who does allow companies to “buy” their ratings. How can we trust that?! I am about to download the Olive App, how about you?

Friend, are you striving after the wind?

What if our health journey led us to abide in our Creator instead of striving after things that are futile. God is faithful to provide all we need when we seek Him first in ALL that we do. This renewed approach for healthy living in Christ can help us choose the faithful over the futile. We are all on a path to aging but that doesn’t mean we can’t age gracefully in the life God has given us. To do this well, we cannot strive after goals that lead us to seek the approval of man. We need to be seeking to honor God with our lives and find our worth and receive our applause from Him. This is the very essence of being whole in mind, body, and spirit.

This love, joy, and peace comes when we submit our pursuit of healthy living as an act of worship to the One who gives us life and sustains us rather than striving after vanity.

Somewhere along the way, we were taught that our worth was something to be earned through perfection.

Through smaller bodies, stricter diets, and endless striving. But true wellness isn’t about control; it’s about connection. When you start living from a place of peace and joy, your body begins to trust you again.

That’s when real transformation happens - not through punishment or to please someone else, but through love 🙏

Some things to consider 🤔

Are you snackcersizing throughout your day?

Sitting for hours at a time doesn’t just affect your energy, it can seriously disrupt blood sugar control.

A recent study reveals that interrupting prolonged sitting with short bursts of movement can significantly improve glycemic control.

In the study, participants who performed 3 minutes of walking or 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes had better blood sugar regulation compared to those who stayed seated or even those who took a single 30-minute walk.

These frequent, targeted bursts of activity were shown to activate key muscle groups like the quadriceps and glutes, leading to better glucose management throughout the day.

This is proof that you don’t need to spend hours in the gym to support your metabolic health.

I’m doing a protein sparing modified fast (PSMF) today… eating mostly lean protein sources for most of the day. This supports keeping lean mass protected and helps me burn fat more efficiently while prioritizing protein intake to build muscle 💪🏼 as I continue to focus on weight lifting for metabolic health. Have you ever heard of this method before? Do you think this sounds like something that would work for you as you aim for increasing your longevity? Tell me your thoughts in the comments below 👇🏼

🪴 👩‍🌾 🪏 Who here gardens? Are you still harvesting vegetables from your garden? Are you overwhelmed with how to use up or preserve what you have? As we enter into fall, many are planning and planting their fall/winter crops. How will you store and preserve the abundance of vegetables that you will grow this fall? Have you learned the traditional skills of our ancestors such as canning? Me neither! But I desperately want to learn this skill (and cultivate a green thumb! 😂). The Homesteading Family has a self-paced canning course that teaches you the basics of canning and preserving food for your family. Check out the affiliate link in the comments below 👇🏼
