Can We Get Plastics OUT of the Body? The truth: our bodies don’t have a “plastic-dissolving” enzyme. But we can support natural detox systems so these particles don’t build up. 🌿 Here’s how to boost your body’s plastic defense & detox: - Fiber-rich foods (veggies, chia, flax, beans) bind toxins and plastics to carry them out. - Sweating (sauna, hot yoga, workouts) helps release some chemical additives. - Liver support: Cruciferous veggies, dandelion tea, and bitter greens keep detox pathways strong. - Hydration: Flushes particles through urine & stool. - Antioxidants (berries, green tea, vitamin C) reduce cell stress from plastic exposure. 👉 Think of it this way: the less toxic load we carry, the better our body handles what slips in. You can’t avoid every plastic — but you can make sure your body has the tools to fight back. ⚡ If you could add ONE new detox habit this week, what would it be — sweating more, eating more fiber, or drinking more filtered water?

You already know what’s coming up toward the end of the month—our Sugar Detox Challenge. Because so many depend on sugar, I think it’s worth talking about it now. Even if you aren’t much of a sweets eater, the reality is that many foods have hidden sugars—and you may not even realize your dependency on them. 😳 Tuesdays are our recipe days, and throughout the month, I’ll give you some sweet recipe ideas that call for natural sweeteners instead of ultra-processed sugar. What you’re going to find is that you crave what you feed. By slowly replacing processed sugar with natural sweeteners, your physical cravings for processed sugars will subside—and by the time our Sugar Detox Challenge begins, you’ll be more than ready to crush it! 👏 This sweet treat calls for coconut sugar, which is a less refined sugar. It’s a good starting place if you’re ready to start making some healthier swaps this week! It’s also the perfect Fall treat! 🥧 Healthy Gluten-Free Apple Crisp - Cookie and Kate *personally I would use dairy free butter and coconut yogurt** TAKING ACTION: ✅ If you plan on participating in the Sugar Detox Challenge, will you slowly begin eliminating now or go cold turkey when the time comes?

“The future depends on what you do today.” ~Mahatma Gandhi In other words, what you do today will determine your tomorrow. Better yet, if you ask yourself every day, “What can I do today?”, you will map out your success for the rest of the year. Who you are on January 1st, 2026, depends on what you do TODAY. 💯 We have some great things planned for this month—like our annual sugar detox challenge; however, the plan doesn’t work unless you do. Ultimately, that’s what I want to focus on this month. The strategies are there. The question is, “Will you show up for yourself this month?” Actually, let’s break it down even smaller (because after all, small steps are the answer). Will you show up for yourself today? “Today” is all you need to focus on. Sure, having a weekly plan and routine is beneficial, but when the rubber meets the road, you have to focus on the present. You have to focus on today—because today determines your future. 💯 TAKING ACTION: ✅ You can expect us to focus on all things sugar this month as we prepare for our Sugar Detox Challenge at the end of the month! Knowledge is power, friends, so let’s focus on getting you ready to crush it! Comment READY below!

Happy Sunday, friends. You’ve made it another week! 🫶 At the end of the week, we often feel the need to reward ourselves. I’m not opposed to that strategy because external reward is sometimes the thing we need to keep going; however, as a Western culture especially, we are so used to "rewarding" ourselves with food. 🍽 Plans with friends? Let's eat. 🍽 Birthday? Let's eat. 🍽 Holiday? Let’s eat. 🍽 Lost 5 lbs? Let’s eat. You see where I’m going with this, don’t you? We have viewed food as an idol for far too long—as a celebratory event when, in fact, the only reason food was put here in the first place was to fuel our bodies and keep us alive. That's it. There's certainly nothing wrong with enjoying our meals sometimes, but we also need to keep our desire for food in its appropriate place. 💯 This doesn’t happen overnight, and that’s why you have to keep going. You can’t give up on WHO YOU WANT TO BE for what feels good at the moment… If you’re used to rewarding yourself with food, it’s time to look into other ways to treat yourself. Reward yourself with a much-needed yoga session, massage, or pedicure. When we can reward ourselves in other ways that do not involve food, that is another small win in our journeys. I will continue to say it—everything doesn't have to happen at once. Small wins + small wins + small wins = BIG RESULTS OVER TIME. 🙌 www.developgoodhabits.com/reward-without-food/ TAKING ACTION: ✅ Have you noticed this trend—where we celebrate everything with food? How has that affected your journey?

Has anyone tried it? It seems expensive, but I can’t keep eating what these other people want to eat. It’s self sabotage and I don’t have time to fix 2 different dinners. I’m a bit busy every day too, so I haven’t been meal prepping anything. Thoughts, suggestions?
