A CEO.
A social media post.
And the truth.
How can you tell if what you’re reading is truth - for you?
Listen in and learn the simple test I use for myself and my clients.
I’m sweating buckets in the heat.
My friends and clients are, too.
So we’re drinking water.
Cold.
Ice.
Water.
Which then brings up the question -
“Hey I heard that drinking ice water speeds up your metabolism”
Countered by
“But I heard it stalls your digestion”
So, what’s the truth?
Listen in.

My favorite foods for my energy this summer
Pop them in your shopping cart this weekend
What does an angry scientist, a lake in the middle of nowhere, and the greens drink in the back of your pantry have in common?
They were the reason I stopped automatically believing wellness influencers.
I chased down a scientist, in a long, long, very long paper trail.
(Back when you got physical magazines in the mail and made phone calls on a “landline” - remember them?)
Once I finally found him, I told him what a magazine said based on his research (without saying they had used his work to make a crazy claim).
He.
Was.
Furious.
Not because they didn’t cite his work.
But because they used his work completely out of context!
Don’t outsource your critical thinking when it comes to your wellness.
Make this your one simple tool:
If it sounds too scary or too good to be true - and it is not backed up with real science - keep scrolling.

Does your body really not absorb water, unless you add sea salt?
If you drink a gallon of water a day, are you actually dehydrating yourself?
These are two of the questions you’ll get answers to in the latest Real Wellness podcast:
”Should You Add Sea Salt to Your Water? What the Science Really Says”
Why?
Because social-media science is all-or-none.
It lives in myth.
True science is nuanced.
It lives in reality.

I talked to a friend today who sadly said all of their summer “play” was done.
No more time off from work to relax.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Whether you haven’t been away from the office for vacation yet.
Or you’re back and you feel like you need to go again...
Remember the most relaxing part of summer doesn’t have to depend on heading to the mountains or a beach.
My expectation was wrong.
I was surprised that my energy was more steady with this seven day experiment.
Since I already eat pretty healthy, I didn’t expect to feel any different.
But I did.
Summer’s is a great time to test out eating like you live on the Mediterranean coast!
(Especially if you have a Greek grandma at your local farmers market. Yep. I am spoiled)

If your brain feels overloaded, unfocused, or constantly “on” - here’s a quick Real Wellness episode to solve that.
“How Exercise Rewires Your Brain for Better Focus and Resilience” - Episode 197
And what’s fun?
Your body and brain don’t care how you move.
They just want you to move.
Go listen now.
And maybe walk a little while you listen ;-)
