I read the other day that a nutritionist I follow drinks a Coke weekly — and I know my filter is different, because I’ve dealt with chronic illness and work with clients who live with unexplainable symptoms... But to me? I thought "hm that's interesting".

Because here’s the thing:

“Everything in moderation” is one of my least favorite sayings.

Because what does that even mean?

Once a week? Once a day? Small amounts multiple times a day?

When I do labs and nutrition reviews, I see just how fast those “little” things add up.

And no — we don’t need to be perfect.
Yes — I eat ice cream, fruit snacks are my favorite.
We go out to eat occasionally. I live in the real world.
But I do those things with discernment.

Because “if it fits your macros” doesn’t account for how food impacts the cellular environment — and whether your body is inflamed, depleted, or energized because of the food you put into it.

We’re not just talking about blood sugar here.

We’re talking about mitochondrial stress.

Oxidative damage.

Whether your cells are being supported… or suffocated.

And the truth is, food doesn’t act in isolation.

It stacks — on top of stress loops, mineral depletion, hormonal chaos, environmental toxins, poor sleep.

So while no, I wouldn’t say one Coke a week causes chronic illness…

It’s a luxury to say that when you don’t have a chronic disease.

The problem is, many “experts” will tell you it’s fine.

That nutrition won’t touch your migraines or your autoimmune flares.

But it can help - a lot.

And often, it does — if you go deep enough.

That’s why inside the Full Body Reset, we don’t just look at food.

We look at how you’re fueling your cells.

We look at energy leaks — at the top and bottom of the funnel.

And we rebuild from the inside out.

I didn’t mean to have an attitude earlier. But the truth is that I hit a wall today.

I woke up anxious.
I tried to get help, and everything went sideways.

And I found myself stuck between two impossible choices:

1. Sacrifice my well-being just to “do the things” and make ends meet

2. Or protect my peace and risk nothing getting done

And honestly? I’m just tired.
Not just physically - like soul-tired.

So here’s what I did when it all felt like too much:

I stopped.
I said the truth out loud:
“I’m frustrated. I’m overwhelmed. I don’t want to keep doing this like this.”

I let myself cry and didn’t try to shut it down.
I took a few deep breaths and gave my body a moment to catch up.

I reached out to connect with a few close people - who acknowledged me and gave me encouragement.

And I looked for the lessons. Always looking for the lessons because times like this are when I'm being stretched. And it's UNCOMFORTABLE.

And then I asked:

What’s one thing I can do right now that actually matters?

Not everything. Not the whole list.
Just one thing that's rooted in alignment and not fear.

Because when everything feels urgent…
Coming back to your body IS the strategy.

✨ If you’re in this too, trying to hold it all together while healing, growing a business, and staying regulated... I see you.

This moment doesn’t define your future.

But how you move through it can change everything.

Save this, try this out the next time you need it, and let me know how it goes for you.

You already know this pattern isn’t just mindset.
It’s in your body. Your business. Your burnout.

And you wouldn’t still be reading this if some part of you wasn’t ready to shift it—for real this time.

If you're ready to finally understand why this keeps happening and how to heal it at the root—so your physical symptoms stop repeating your emotional patterns...

Chronic stress and hormones do not mix 🙅🏼‍♀️

And I also would add how important movement is, particularly building and maintaining muscle mass (to improve your immune system and helps to release some stress as well).

Imbalances in any of these pillars can increase stress and be part of the root causes behind hormone imbalances.

This is why it can feel so hard and frustrating to balance your hormones.

And, I find most of my clients underestimate how critical the mental/emotional stressors & load + having a nervous system that feels safe is for creating hormone balance and optimal health.

Since we talk about burnout around here so much, boundaries and purpose must be included in this list.

If you don't know where you end and other people begin, and you feel like you take on so many people's emotions, stress and needs... This is a direct pattern that can lead to chronic digestive issues (bloating, constipation), autoimmune disease, migraines, endometriosis, PCOS, fatigue, dizziness, allergies and getting sick all the time.

One of the hardest lessons to learn is what happens when you don't have your health (and then how to heal).

But, when you address the root causes behind hormone imbalances and address each of the pillars for building a health foundation - it IS possible to put many autoimmune diseases in remission, to finally not have chronic pain and painful periods like with endometriosis, to no longer have migraines - and to actually have ENERGY throughout motherhood.

That is transformation on a deep level - when you no longer identify as someone who has ______ and now you KNOW you are healthy.

I cannot tell you how good that feels when you make that transition. And it's so worth all the effort, the frustration, the struggle, the patience to get there.

This is what we create in the Deep Dive Experience.
