Our Wednesday night program was a success (ok, another small issue with "sound" but I got that one figured out!!) and it was all about brain health!! As quoted by Dr. Daniel Amen (I just love his name!) "The health of your brain is much more about your actions, than your age."

For our actions, let us start fueling our brains right now with healthy foods!! Below, I am going to mention the top 10 foods that help with keeping that ORGAN (YES organ and the brain does contain some muscle!) healthy and that is by feeding it with good, wholesome, organic, Non-GMO foods.

The top 10 foods are...
1. Beets
2. Salmon
3. Broccoli
4. Walnuts
5. Wild Blueberries
6. Fresh Rosemary
7. Pumpkin Seeds
8. Oranges
9. Green Tea
10. Dark Chocolate YAY, my favorite!!

Also when wanting to help with cognitive health, the mushroom Lion's Mane is a super food!! I cannot speak more highly of this "fungus" when wanting to keep our brains strong and healthy and protect us from demential and alzheimer's disease.

Carol’s Total Wellness Update!!

The new food pyramid (compliments of the “Morning Brew and RFK Jr.) and I have to say that I like it! It already matches the way I eat!! As we age, our plates should be full of lots of colorful veggies & fruit, lean protein and limited carbs. Let’s not forget water and staying hydrated too.

Let’s limit the amount of processed food, alcohol and sugary drinks. I can guarantee you that in 30 days, you will look and feel different!

Who is ready to change their life?!! Reach out to me and let’s start your journey towards optimal health, wellbeing and consciousness. 🎉

Blessings~

New Year’s Eve Prayer 🙏

Jesus,

As the year comes to a close, I come to you with a heart shaped by past years of experience, growth, and perseverance. You know the chapters I’ve lived, the burdens I’ve carried, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. You have seen my love for YOU deepen, my strength mature, and my confidence rise. Not in what I’ve done, but in who YOU are and what you have done for me even when my faith was weak.

As midnight approaches, I welcome in a new year. I release what no longer serves me or belongs in this next, new chapter of my life. I let go of all regret, anger, bitterness, resentment, blame, comparison, and unhealthy thought patterns. I release the belief that my better days are behind me. I surrender the expectations that were never mine to carry and the versions of myself that were built to endure instead of fully live and thrive. I trust You, Jesus, that nothing in my life has been wasted, that every season has prepared me for what’s ahead for 2026 and beyond and that is an abundance of love, peace, longevity, joy, riches, honor and blessings.

As I move forward, I don’t shrink back or settle. I step ahead with confidence, knowing YOU are not finished with me yet. Fill me with peace, clarity, wisdom and a bold faith to embrace this NEW season with joy, excitement and purpose. I choose to believe that my best days are ahead of me because I walk hand in hand with YOU.

I place what is ending and what is beginning fully in Your hands. Lead me forward… strong, faithful, confident, and with joyful expectancy.

In Jesus name I pray, AMEN. ❤️

I want to share this message: If you’re able to get outside and you’re not buried under snow (hello, Cleveland! 😄), step outside and look up! Make a wish for the New Year.

Carol’s Total Wellness Tip!!

Can you believe it is December 30th??? We have one more day to set our intentions for 2026!! Remember that 2025 was about “shedding” and removing what is no longer serving you (write it down on paper and burn it safely by tomorrow night all those negative thoughts and feelings) and then write down all your positive intentions that you want to attract and bring forward for 2026 and place that paper where you can see it daily or in your bible). This is the year of the fire horse! This symbolizes passion, freedom, bold changes, and personal reinvention. It is time to step out of your comfort zone and live your life with meaning and purpose while honoring your temple. 🎉

As many of you know, I love God and our angels and one of the practices that I do every year is the Daniel Fast. (See below for the diet and I highly encourage 30 mins of daily exercise and devotion.) It is for 21 days starting on January 1st. Why? Because for me, it “resets” my body (physical) mind (mental) and spirit (God/Source) connection.

If you have never done the Daniel Fast and want to learn more, reach out to me and let’s connect! I will share what you will need to do to have Faith, Fitness and Confidence to make 2026 your best year ever and it starts with Love and Gratitude for yourself and others!!

What is the Daniel Fast:

What you can eat
• Vegetables (all kinds)
• Fruits
• Whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, oats, barley)
• Legumes (beans, lentils, peas)
• Nuts and seeds
• Healthy oils (olive oil)
• Water (primary beverage)

What you avoid
• Meat, poultry, fish
• Dairy products
• Eggs
• Added sugar or sweeteners
• Leavened bread and refined grains
• Processed foods
• Fried foods
• Alcohol
• Coffee and caffeine (some variations allow herbal tea) Please limit caffeine so you do not experience a detox!

Carol’s Total Wellness Tip!

What is super important to have as we age?!? The answer is muscle mass!!

Why Muscle Matters After 50 💪

After age 50, we naturally begin to lose muscle mass—unless we take action. Maintaining muscle is essential for staying strong, independent, and confident as we age.

✔️ Supports balance and prevents falls
✔️ Protects bones and joints
✔️ Boosts metabolism and weight control
✔️ Improves blood sugar and heart health
✔️ Enhances energy, mood, and mental clarity

The good news? It’s never too late to build strength. With regular resistance training, proper nutrition, and consistency, muscle can be gained at any age.

Strong muscles support a strong life—today and for years to come. Yay!! 🎉🎉🎉

If you would like to build lean muscle and and lose those stubborn pounds, I have a “body building diet and exercise program” that anyone can do! You dont need to join a gym, the exercises can be done at home and the diet is built around calories and measuring your carbs, protein and fats!!

Cost for the program is $10!! This is the diet and exercise program I followed to be bikini ready for my fitness competition and still use when I need to shred.

If interested email me at carollaketwc@gmail.com and get ready to transform your life NOW!!

Carol’s Total Wellness Tip! 🎉

Eggs (and cholesterol) are not the enemy!

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Gr45hdU3z/?mibextid=wwXIfr

A growing body of medical research is challenging long-held beliefs about cholesterol. Recent long-term population studies reveal a surprising trend: individuals with naturally higher cholesterol levels often show greater longevity and reduced rates of certain cancers. Instead of being a simple “villain,” cholesterol appears to play complex roles in hormone regulation, immune function, cell repair, and brain health.
Scientists now suggest that cholesterol may act as a protective biological resource in aging, helping maintain cell stability and supporting the body’s defenses against chronic illness. Some researchers even argue that aggressive cholesterol-lowering treatments may not benefit everyone equally — particularly older adults whose bodies rely on cholesterol for essential metabolic functions.
This shift in understanding has sparked debates within the medical community. Experts emphasize that LDL, HDL, and triglycerides must be evaluated together, along with diet, inflammation, genetics, and lifestyle. The new data does not dismiss heart disease risks but invites a more nuanced view of cholesterol’s role beyond cardiovascular health.
As evidence grows, health professionals may eventually adopt more individualized cholesterol guidelines, focusing not only on lowering numbers but on understanding each person’s biological needs.
