Good morning, Fit Over 40 family! 💛 Take a moment to think about something incredible: your body has been working for you since the very beginning. From your first heartbeat to every breath you take, countless processes happen inside you without you having to consciously control them. That's a remarkable level of intelligence. But somewhere along the way, many of us have learned to see our bodies as something that constantly needs fixing rather than something we can learn to work with. Here's a different way to look at it. Your body communicates through signals. Sometimes those signals show up as fatigue, changes in appetite, poor sleep, tension, or other symptoms. Instead of immediately getting frustrated with yourself, take a moment to understand what might be contributing to how you feel. Your daily habits, stress levels, emotional patterns, nutrition, and rest all play a role in your overall well-being. And the more attention you give these areas, the better equipped you are to make choices that support your health. 5 things worth remembering today: ✅ Your body has remarkable systems designed to keep you functioning. ✅ Your symptoms deserve attention, not judgment. Understand them rather than simply ignoring them. ✅ Stress, worry, and unresolved emotions can affect how you feel physically. ✅ The way you care for yourself can influence your energy, decisions, relationships, and daily life. ✅ Small, consistent changes can make a meaningful difference over time. Here's something I want you to think about today: What if instead of constantly fighting your body, you started working with it? What would change if you paid closer attention to what it needs and made better choices consistently? You don't have to change everything overnight. Start by becoming more aware of the signals you're receiving and taking steps toward better habits. 💬 Let's talk: Where do you feel you need the most attention right now? 1. Your physical health 2. Your emotional well-being 3. Your daily habits and lifestyle 4. Your relationships and personal life

Good morning, everyone! ☀️ Here's something I want you to sit with today: your hormones aren't the problem. They're the communicators. Every hormone in your body is carrying a message. Maybe it's "I'm not sleeping enough," "I'm under too much stress," or "I'm not getting what I need to function." When we focus on silencing the message, we never hear what it's actually saying, and the underlying cause stays right where it was. So instead of asking, "How do I fix this hormone?", try asking, "What is my body trying to tell me?" The inputs we give our body are the things we can change: how we sleep, how we eat, how we move, how we handle stress, and how we process our emotions. Change the inputs, and your own natural hormones, the ones God gave you enough of, can come back online and regulate. I've watched this happen for over 20 years. High hormones come back down to normal. Low hormones come back up. Your body isn't working against you. It's waiting and ready to work with you. Today's practice: Notice one message your body has been sending you lately, whether it's fatigue, cravings, restless sleep, or mood swings. Don't try to fix it yet. Just listen and ask what it might be asking for. 💬 Share below: What's one message your body has been trying to tell you lately? Whether you've done FAST40 or you're just getting started, I'd love to hear it.

If you've been eating clean, working out, and still watching the scale creep up (especially around the belly)… I want you to hear this: Nothing is wrong with you. ❤️ One of the biggest hidden culprits we see is stress. When cortisol stays high from poor sleep, undereating, or overtraining, your body shifts into protection mode and holds onto fat. 🛡️ Your body will always choose safe over lean. So this week, try sending it a new message: 🚶‍♀️ Swap intense cardio for a morning walk 😴 Protect 7–9 hours of sleep 🌬️ Take 3 minutes a day for slow, deep breathing Simple? Yes. Powerful? Absolutely. 💪 FAST40 members: this is a big part of why the protocol works. Stay the course. 🌱 Free community: this could be the missing piece you've been looking for. 👇 Drop a comment: What's your biggest stress right now? Talk soon,

Hey everyone Dr Cody wanted me to share how far I've come in 179 days on the program I'm down a total of 43 lbs and 36 inches and I'm going to share my photos which is a big step for me.

Good morning everyone. Quick check-in today: How are you feeling? How are you functioning? What updates do you have for me? I also wanted to share something important about red meat because it has been misunderstood for a long time. Somewhere along the way, red meat got lumped in with processed junk food and painted as something to avoid. But after 20 years in natural healthcare, I've seen some of the best body transformation results happen when people start rotating quality red meat back into their diet. Here's why: ✅ Supports metabolism Red meat is rich in zinc, iron, and B12, nutrients that help support thyroid function and healthy metabolism. Low iron is one of the most overlooked reasons people feel sluggish, low energy, and struggle with weight loss. ✅ Helps preserve lean muscle Red meat contains complete amino acids and naturally occurring creatine. More lean muscle helps support a healthier resting metabolism and better energy production. ✅ Supports brain function B12 and iron are important for the production of serotonin and dopamine. Sometimes brain fog, low motivation, and fatigue are not just stress-related, they're nutrient-related. ✅ Replenishes iron stores The iron found in red meat is absorbed far more efficiently than plant-based sources. This can be especially important for women who experience fatigue or are still cycling. ✅ Provides building blocks for hormones The body uses cholesterol and fats as raw materials to create hormones like: • Estrogen • Progesterone • Testosterone Your body cannot build what it doesn't have the materials to build. The takeaway? You don't need to eat red meat at every meal, but rotating quality, unprocessed red meat into your nutrition plan can be a powerful way to support your metabolism, muscle, brain function, energy, and hormones. Now it's your turn. What's your update today?
