Day 13–14 🤍🤍

Lots of good eats, infrared sauna sessions, and a brand new exercise machine we are absolutely loving. It seriously feels like getting a new toy — we’ve been having way too much fun playing around with all the different attachments and movements you can do with it.

Extra shoutout to the Sunlighten sauna because it’s been a game changer for:
✨ Better sleep (deep relaxation + nervous system downshift)
✨ Immune support (increased circulation + gentle detox pathways)
✨ Muscle recovery (reduced inflammation, faster tissue repair, less soreness)

And I’ve also been re-introducing the grind of aloe again and wow… I forgot how powerful this plant really is. Currently using Lily of the Desert and it’s such a gentle but profound support for:
🌿 Gut healing & lining repair (polysaccharides soothe and support the intestinal barrier)
💧 Deep cellular hydration (not just water, but electrolytes + bioavailable minerals)
🔥 Recovery & inflammation control (natural anti-inflammatory compounds)
🛡️ Immune modulation (antioxidants + immune-supportive polysaccharides)
✨ Overall tissue healing & regeneration

Warmth, movement, nourishment, hydration, and rest — exactly what the body craves in winter. 🖤

January 13th ✨
Not a whole lot of excitement sorry guys!!
Started the day with a shower and a few hard-boiled eggs, then hit the road to meet up with a friend. (Got coffee, it’s an 80/20 lifestyle my friends!)

It was a beautiful morning, just super windy. Came back home and made a real breakfast — burgers with fermented sauerkraut.

This day was pretty heavy on computer work (aka tax stuff… so fun 😅), so I didn’t record a whole lot. Took a break and had some lunch/dinner leftovers — spaghetti meat from the night before (no noodles, of course).

I got in a 25-minute treadmill walk — daily walks are so underrated for circulation, lymphatic flow, blood sugar balance, and just clearing the mind. Even better with a weighted vest for extra bone density, core engagement, and metabolic support. What wasn’t pictured was jiu-jitsu, which ended my day. 💪🥋☺️

This one goes out to my desk workers, people who have jobs that require them to be seated often… or even those who just live a more sedentary lifestyle!!! 🐒🐒

(closest thing they had to a sitting emjoji haha 😂)

Neck and low back pain are rarely random.
They’re often the long-term result of sustained postural stress and altered movement patterns.

📱 Forward head posture from prolonged phone use increases the load on the cervical spine dramatically. For every inch the head moves forward, the effective weight on the neck nearly doubles, forcing the deep neck flexors to weaken and the upper traps, levator scapulae, and suboccipitals to overwork.

😴 Side sleeping with inadequate pillow support allows the cervical spine to fall into lateral flexion and rotation while the top shoulder rolls forward and the bottom bares majority of the weight and also folds forward. This shortens the pec minor, lengthens and weakens the mid-back stabilizers, and collapses the anterior chest wall, altering breathing mechanics and rib positioning.

💻 Desk work with a low screen height promotes thoracic flexion and scapular elevation. The rib cage drops, the diaphragm loses its optimal zone of apposition, and the neck extends and flexes repetitively to maintain visual alignment. Over time this drives upper crossed syndrome and chronic cervical compression.

🪑 Prolonged sitting decreases gluteal activation, shortens hip flexors, and anteriorly tilts the pelvis. Without proper core engagement, lumbar extensors and QL become primary stabilizers instead of synergists, increasing compressive load on lumbar discs and facet joints.

The body is designed to be “stacked”:
ears over shoulders, shoulders over rib cage, rib cage over pelvis.
When this vertical alignment is lost, force is no longer distributed through the skeleton and instead must be absorbed by soft tissue.

Posture is not about holding yourself rigid — it is about maintaining optimal joint centration, efficient breathing, and balanced neuromuscular activation throughout the day.

Chronic pain often reflects chronic positioning.
Change the position, restore the stack, and the nervous system can finally let the tissue relax.

Day 11 🤍

Monday was a busy, long workday so here’s the little recap (better late than never!).
Started the morning with a quick 4-egg breakfast, then got the massage room prepped and got to work with clients. Had to make sure I stay hydrated for the big day with hydration ! 💦

Lunch was a win — chicken “no-noodle” soup (aka all the cozy, warming goodness without the noodles). Took a quick break to play outside with my pup and his new Valentine’s Lamb Chop toy… he was very pleased. 🐶💘

Back to work for the rest of the day, finished out a full schedule of massages, then cleaned and stripped the room so everything could get a full wash.

Headed home for a late dinner — spaghetti night, minus the noodles, just the meat.
Long day, full heart, and straight to bed. 💤

Day 5 | January 6th 🤍

Started the morning off with a ribeye—cut up and eaten on the way to work. A full day of massages ahead, fueled by electrolytes to keep me grounded, steady, and balanced.

Love coming into the massage room to the glow of a real candle made from genuine beeswax from Register Family Farms—there’s just something about supporting good people doing honest work.
Had a little lunch break for some Chicken Noodle Soup (Omit the noodle haha) this was delicious! 😋

Ordered a new book too… hoping it’s a good one 🤞📖

Dinner was simple and nourishing: a full pound of grass-fed bison from the awesome folks at Polish Ponderosa, seasoned taco-style (again 😅) with some aged parm shredded on top for extra flavor.

Busy day, minimal sunlight—so we improvised with a tanning bed for a little vitamin D (not pictured), got my PT exercises in, and called it a night.

Nothing fancy. Just listening to my body, staying consistent, and doing the basics well. 🐃🥩🕯️

Day 4 — simple, grounding, and nourishing.
Started the morning strong with two New York strips 🥩
Then off to work for a day of massage sessions, doing what I love.

Came home and reset with a hot shower (one of the most underrated nervous system tools).
Dinner was cubed steaks cooked in butter, salt & black pepper, plus a ribeye that (leftovers) doubled as a little meal prep win for tomorrow.

Ended the night slow and calm with echinacea + elderberry tea, doggos piled on top of me, and nothing else on the agenda except rest 🐾☕️

Nothing fancy — just listening to my body, fueling it well, and letting the day close gently.

We call it a “knot”…
but what you’re really feeling isn’t a ball of muscle tied in a bow.

It’s a protective response.

When tissue is stressed, overworked, injured, or under-recovered, the nervous system increases tone in that area to guard it. Blood flow can become restricted, waste products accumulate, hydration decreases, and layers of tissue stop gliding the way they should.

What you feel under your fingers is dense, guarded tissue — not something to “crush” or force out.

True release happens when:
• the nervous system feels safe
• circulation is restored
• tissue is hydrated and warmed
• layers are given time and intention to unwind

This is why slower, intentional work matters.
This is why breath matters.
This is why your body responds better to listening than forcing.

Your body isn’t broken — it’s communicating.
And when we understand the “why,” we can actually create lasting change.
