This tiny thing changed my life! I’m serious though 😂 .
This is a copper tongue scraper, but we’ll get to that in a minute. .
Enter Health Amplifiers! Small habits or practices that create a ripple effect and positively impact multiple areas of your health. They are super powerful as they have significant impact, sometimes with minimal effort. .
Health amplifiers help you create progress and sustainable momentum that has compounded benefits over time. .
Back to this epic tongue scraper I’m holding. Yes I just called a tongue scraper epic lol. .
I started using a tongue scraper daily a year ago and my mouth has never felt better. They’re cheap, easy to use, and using one only takes 2-3 minutes a day. They have so many health benefits far beyond what most people have heard of which is that they improve your breath. .
The long list of health benefits this tiny and quick habit provides: .
👅 Improves Oral Hygiene - removes bacteria and reduces overall bacterial load, lowers the risk of cavities, gum disease, and plague build up. Also reduces bad breath and makes your mouth feel cleaner than ever. .
👅 Supports Digestive Health - in Ayurvedic and holistic traditions, tongue scraping is seen as a way to remove toxins that can interfere with digestion. .
👅 Supports Immune Health - the mouth is the entry point for many pathogens and reducing these bacteria can lower the burden on the immune system. .
Some studies have shown a moderate association between oral health and diabetes and hypertension. Association does not equal casuation but there are a lot of findings that correlate. .
A 2023 review by the American Dental Association highlights that oral bacteria may contribute to chronic disease like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s / dementia, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, and even certain cancers. .
There very much appears to be a two way relationship between oral health and systemic health (more studies are needed to prove the correlations). .
Use a copper or stainless steel tongue scraper twice a day after you brush your teeth. .
Do you use one? Tell me all about it in the comments 🗣️

Small short term temptations or comforts - whether it’s skipping a workout, indulging in food that doesn’t support your body, or giving in to procrastination - shouldn’t outweigh the bigger vision you have for yourself. .
You’re capable of choosing the way you want to feel over the fleeting satisfaction of the moment. Every time you follow through on a healthy habit, you’re honoring your commitment to yourself and your goals. It’s not about perfection, it’s about consistently showing up for yourself. .
What you want right now might feel urgent but it’s almost always fleeting. What you want most - feeling the best you have in decades, having energy and vitality to show up fully in life, and having deep belief and self confidence in yourself - will always win over short term satisfaction. .
Sustainable weight loss and wellness isn’t built in a week, it’s built through hundreds of small intentional choices that you make every day. .
Are you ready to feel your best? Do you want to feel proud of yourself for finally honoring your commitment to yourself? I’ve helped over 100 women in mid life up level their lifestyle and feel better than ever. I’d love to show you the path and support you every step of the way. I believe in you! Do you believe in yourself? .

— Glycemic Index, Inflammation, & Health — .
Long read… hang tight as its important information if you are trying to eat well and maintain health and wellness. .
You may have heard the terms “low glycemic” or “glycemic index” before, but what do they actually mean and why should you care? .
The glycemic index is a measure of how quickly and significantly a given food can raise your blood sugar, also known as glucose. When you eat food, the carbohydrates in that food are converted into glucose in your blood. The lower a food’s glycemic index, the slower your blood sugar will rise. In general, the more processed a food is, the higher its GI. Foods that are less processed, and foods that have more fiber, tend to have a lower GI. .
When your blood sugar rises your body produces insulin, which is a hormone that allows glucose to enter your cells to provide energy. Insulin also helps store excess glucose in your liver and muscles as glycogen (to be used later for energy). .
Why does any of this matter!? .
Constantly spiking your insulin levels high has been correlated to high inflammatory markers in your blood and cerebral fluid. High levels of inflammation in the body leads to the majority of metabolic disorders. And guess what? Metabolic disorders are the largest group of diseases and dysfunction in the body! The majority of them are also preventable. .
So… what are metabolic disorders? They are disorders that negatively alter the body's processing and distribution of macronutrients such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates… in other words, they negatively alter the processes your body uses to get or make energy from the food you eat. And guess what that means? It means that metabolic disorders affect every single function of your body! Probably something you should take seriously. .
Whew! That was a lot! Cheers to you if you are still reading… .
Some examples of metabolic / inflammatory related disorders are diabetes, arthritis, gout, heart disease, degenerative joint problems, high blood pressure, PCOS (polycystic ovarian disease), infertility, memory loss, and the list goes on. .
The food you eat literally impacts every single cell and function in your body. .
The moral of this story is: if you want to feel good and live a healthy life, do everything in your power to keep inflammation in your body low. .
Yes, there are many other factors that contribute to inflammation in your body including stress, lack of sleep, and exposure to toxins. The food you eat is easily one of the biggest factors that you have control over. Consuming low glycemic whole foods (and therefore managing your body’s insulin load), while avoiding processed crap as much as possible, is a huge step in the right direction. .
Let’s gooo fam - glow up! .

— What Do You Want Most? — .
Sometimes our goals require sacrifices in the short term. It can be challenging when a tempting food is staring you in the face - especially if you’re at a social event! People talk about willpower but I’m here to tell you it’s overrated and won’t lead to long term success. .
Learning and implementing long term habits and systems is what will enable you to achieve your goals and feeling great. Let’s talk about how I can help you do that! .

Why Eat Whole Eggs?..
Many people don’t want to eat eggs because of the cholesterol content. Research has shown that high levels of dietary saturated fat have a much stronger correlation to increased levels of cholesterol than actual dietary cholesterol. ..
Cholesterol has several essential rolls in the body including cell membrane function, dietary fat absorption, helping to synthesize bile salts, and it is also the basis of many steroid hormones including vitamin D. Because cholesterol has so many important roles in our body, our body makes its own cholesterol, and a lot of it. ..
Eggs are a healthy, nutrient dense food. They are low in calories, high in protein (4g in the whites and 2.5g in the yolk), and high in many important nutrients and antioxidants. The majority of an egg’s nutrients and antioxidants are found in the yolk. This includes:..
*Vitamin D - critical for bone health and immune function. Eggs are one of the only foods that naturally contain vitamin D...
*Choline - essential for healthy functioning of all cells, and particularly important during pregnancy to support healthy brain development. ..
*Lutein and Zeaxanthan - antioxidants that help reduce the risk of developing cataracts and slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration...
