I’ll kick us off! :) I had an MRI today and it was my first time. I am used to being an observer with my daughter, and she had had many MRIs. So being in an MRI machine stirred some emotions for me. The tech let me pick some music for my headphones and I chose Adele. And then I sunk into the music and was deep breathing the entire time. It went great! And it felt quick, even though I was there for about 35 minutes. Deep breathing is something we talk about a lot in our group coaching - many of you know this because you have coached in group with us! 😊 Consistently practicing mindfulness and breathwork makes it is much easier to draw on those tools when you need them. Now I just hope the results show that my foot is healing well! 🤞

Thought this would give us all a little laugh, as we can all relate. 😁

This made me laugh! The world is a stressful place these days. We are here to support you, uplift you, and hopefully inspire you and offer you the occasional chuckle. Ever eaten flounder? If you're not a fish person, it's very un-fishy. I've baked it with butter, garlic, and olive oil, and have also pan-fried it dipped in a mix of parmesan and a little bit of almond flour. It mostly takes on the flavors of whatever you cook it with/in. Anyone got flounder ideas? The fish, not the behavior. ;-) Happy Friday!

Are you there? 🤔 🙂 Just dropping this post link here - would love to hear from all of you on where you are at in your journey and how things are going. 👇 https://www.skool.com/lifestyle-evolution/lets-all-check-in-for-wellness-wednesday?p=b20fbfc1

"You Need Carbs to Survive" False. Your body requires protein. Your body requires fat. Your body does NOT require carbohydrates. Here's what your body actually needs: Protein - To build and repair tissue, make hormones, create enzymes, support immunity. Non-negotiable. Fat - To absorb vitamins, support brain function, regulate hormones, build cell membranes. Non-negotiable. Carbohydrates - Your body can make glucose from protein and fat if needed. Not essential. But wait—carbs aren't the enemy. 👉 The problem is WHICH carbs we're eating. Starchy carbs (bread, pasta, rice, crackers, processed foods): - Spike blood sugar fast - Create energy crashes - Drive inflammation - Hold more water (bloating and higher BP) - Leave you hungry again in 2 hours Low-glycemic carbs (vegetables, berries, some fruit): - Provide fiber your gut needs - Contain vitamins and minerals - Don't spike blood sugar - Keep you satisfied for hours - Support weight loss The game-changer is to build your plate around: ✅ Protein (chicken, fish, beef, eggs) ✅ Healthy fat (olive oil, avocado, nuts, butter) ✅ Fiber-rich, low-glycemic vegetables & fruits This combination gives your body everything it needs—without the starchy carbs. Result: 💚 More satiated (actually full, not just eating) 💚 Zero cravings (stable blood sugar) 💚 Stable energy (no 2pm crash) 💚 Easier weight loss (no insulin spikes) 💚 Better digestion 💚 Clearer thinking The truth: You don't need bread, pasta, or rice to be healthy. You need whole foods that nourish your body. Vegetables and fruits provide all the carbohydrates your body actually needs. Everything else is just extra blood sugar spikes disguised as "fuel."
