Modern Wellness Life

If you’ve fought a yeast infection or overgrowth, it’s good to know there are some things you can do to aid your body in healing and rebalancing. 🤗

Dietary changes can help make your immune system function better! 💪

Always work with your practitioner, if you suspect a yeast infection, to get started on the right treatment. 👍

Actual footage of me trying to do “all the healthy things”! 😂

Water intake ✅
Exercise ✅
Red light & Detoxing ✅
Taking my supplements ✅
Getting enough Protein & Fiber ✅
Stress Management - deep breaths and prayer/meditation ✅
Ooops, forgot about Sleep! ❌ That may be relatable! 🤭

What are you struggling with juggling? Is there something you can space out so it’s not too much all at once? Are there things you can “stack” to make them easier to achieve?

Friday Funny! 🤪

All joking aside, balance is key to a healthy lifestyle.
Do I want you to give up coffee, eating out with friends and family, enjoying a slice of birthday cake? Of course not! But keeping it all in moderation is incredibly helpful.
I love recommending trying an 80/20 balance to make things easier to maintain. 80% of the time eating healthful foods and 20% enjoying the fun stuff. When we do this we’re not depriving ourselves of the special occasions and bonding time, but rather primarily filling our meals with nutrient rich foods so those fun foods are ok for our bodies to handle. So, if you go out to eat - enjoy it, just don’t go eat out everyday. 😉

Have you followed an 80/20 plan? Does it work for you? If so, what did you notice was especially helpful about this plan?
If it didn’t work, let’s chat!

Am I perfect with my healthy habits? No, I’m human. But I keep showing up, again and again. For myself, for my health, for my family, for my future. 🤗

During a work day movement can seem tricky! When you have a spare minute, add an “Exercise Snack”! It can be as short as a minute, just move your body! Today was squats. I’ve done lunges, a quick walk, using light weights at my desk, calf raises… just get moving!

What can you sneak into your day to stay active? 💭

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️

I love sneaking green into my day however I can. Fresh, frozen, sautéed, baked… Greens are detoxifying, purifying, antioxidant rich, cancer preventive and more. Plus they taste good!

Frozen spinach or kale are an easy add to your cooked meal or smoothie; fresh for salads or soups (or smoothie!), baked asparagus, sautéed kale or collards with olive oil and S&P and garlic - delicious side or snack; Brussels sprouts or other greens with your eggs; add to your stews… 🥬

Chili Night! 🌶️

Serve with a salad or veggies. A couple in my family add crackers, but I’m a purist! 😁

Packed with protein from the meat, beans, and avocado. Full of fiber from the beans, veggies, and avocado. Good fats from the avocado and avocado oil used. Good carbs from the beans and veggies! 🙌

Fasting, with food?! Yes! 🙌

Prolon offers a fasting mimicking diet that I’ve done numerous times over the years. You have all the food you need for 5 days. Meal planning = ✅

It’s great for a cellular detox and renewal 🌱 aka autophaghy, fat burning 🔥, you retain muscle 💪 which is unusual during fasting, and it benefits your blood sugar levels!

This time I tried the premade soups which are so easy during a work week!! Each day has a box with the food you’ll eat that day: nut bars, 2 soups, herbal teas, almond crackers, olives, chocolate crispy bar (wish these were all 5 days!), l-drink, and a multivitamin (and omega 2 days).

Prolon is offering a special spring discount so if you’re ready, now’s the time!
