Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! Our fireworks were cancelled tonight because of the thunderstorms, but we're heading out for dinner now with our neighbors. What are you up to this weekend?

I'm reading the room and seeing the struggles. You don't need an infographic or a PDF checklist. You need clear direction on what's going to help you and then how to get it done. The accountability, tools and resources to help you see real progress and make it stick. I'll be there every step of the way with you -- get my eyeballs and my brain on YOUR situation. Let's figure it out together. Seriously, sleep is where everything starts. Join me for the LIVE Rest & Recharge program. In just 4 weeks, start waking up more energized and staying steady all day. (special rate for Skool members only, ends Sunday July 5th 11:59pm) Check it out here ==> https://amyjoyhealth.com/rest-recharge-skool

Happy Monday! For anyone who did The Gut Reset last week, how are you feeling? Please share one thing you noticed. I'd love to hear if anything shifted for you!

Your microbiome is not a problem to fix. You have trillions of bacteria living in your gut right now. They outnumber your human cells. They influence your mood, your immune system, your hormones, and your energy levels. Think of your microbiome less like a machine and more like a garden. Gardens don't need to be fixed. They need to be tended. The more variety you feed it, the more different strains can thrive and do their jobs. Most of us have been trying to "fix" our gut by eliminating things — but the research on microbiome diversity says the more powerful move is to add variety first. Today's one action: add one thing. One fermented food (yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi) or one new plant food you don't normally eat. Bonus if you want to go deeper: at one meal today, put your fork down between bites and chew each bite thoroughly before swallowing. Digestion starts in your mouth. Saliva contains enzymes that begin breaking down food before it ever reaches your stomach. When we eat fast, we skip that step entirely. Everything is in your Workbook, head there to record your actions and complete your tracker. Then drop a 🥣 below and tell us what you added today. Bonus points if it's something you'd never normally eat.

We're halfway through the week already, and this is the video I've been most looking forward to. Today we're getting into the gut-brain connection. Why stress hits your digestion the way it does. Why you can eat the same meal on a calm Sunday and a chaotic Monday and feel completely different. And why this matters more for women in perimenopause and menopause than most people realise. The video is less than 8 minutes and it tends to be the one that makes everything connect to real life, beyond just what you eat. Watch it first, then do the Day 3 exercise in your Workbook. Your one action is quick and simple, but so effective. Drop a 💨 here in the comments when you've tried it. And tell us: what's been your biggest surprise so far? What's your "oh, THAT'S why" moment? ▶︎ Watch the Day 3 video
