What’s one or more beliefs that protected you as a child… but now confines your health journey? That belief may have helped you survive then. But is it helping you thrive now? 1. "Finish everything on your plate." Taught you not to waste. Now? You override hunger cues and struggle with portion control. 2. "Good girls don’t ask for what they want." Kept you ‘polite’ and accepted. Now? You don’t advocate for your needs — in your health, relationships, or rest. 3. "Work comes before play." Taught discipline and responsibility. Now? You skip workouts, sleep, or stress relief because “there’s always more to do.” 4. "Don’t be selfish." Kept peace in the family. Now? You feel guilty prioritizing your meals, workouts, or self-care. 5. "Push through it." Built resilience. Now? You ignore pain, fatigue, or burnout — until your body forces you to stop. 6. "If you’re not productive, you’re lazy." Gave you drive. Now? You can’t rest without guilt — even when rest is exactly what your body needs to heal. 7. "Thin = good. Fat = bad." Came from diet culture in your environment. Now? You equate worth with weight and sabotage progress through shame or extremes. 8. "Children should be seen and not heard." You learned to stay quiet, stay small, and not make waves. It protected you from conflict or rejection. Now? You silence your needs. You struggle to speak up — at the doctor’s office, in relationships, in your coaching journey. You may even dismiss your own body’s signals… because you were taught your voice didn’t matter. Your voice is vital.Your story is valid.Your body is worth listening to — and so are you. Any others You experienced that don't serve you now? 💝

The body creates things like cysts, nodules, fibroids, polyps, lipomas, and even skin tags for a reason. These aren't random or “malfunctions” — they’re usually adaptive responses to internal stress or imbalance. Think of them as your body’s way of protecting you, containing damage, or signaling that something deeper needs attention. Here's why the body forms these kinds of growths - 1. Hormonal Imbalances When hormones — especially estrogen and progesterone — are out of balance, tissue can grow inappropriately. This is common in conditions like uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, breast lumps, and endometriosis. Often, estrogen is too high (or not balanced by enough progesterone), leading to excessive tissue growth. Thyroid nodules are another example, often linked to low thyroid function, iodine deficiency, or autoimmune thyroid disease like Hashimoto’s. 2. Chronic Inflammation Long-term inflammation tells your body, “Something is off — start repairing.” But that constant repair process can create scar tissue, nodules, or even calcifications. For example, lung nodules may form after past infections, and colon polyps may appear from years of gut irritation. 3. Toxic Overload When your body can’t safely eliminate toxins through normal detox routes (liver, kidneys, skin, lymph), it may store them in fat or fluid-filled sacs like cysts or lipomas. These are often seen as a protective mechanism — better to isolate the problem than let it circulate. 4. Insulin Resistance High insulin levels (common in pre-diabetes or metabolic syndrome) can trigger growth signals in the body. That’s why skin tags, ovarian cysts (as seen in PCOS), and fibroids are often more common in women with insulin resistance. Insulin acts like a “grow” hormone when too high, especially combined with excess estrogen. 5. Mineral Deficiencies Low levels of iodine, magnesium, selenium, or zinc can lead to dysfunction in the thyroid, breast tissue, and other organs. For instance, iodine deficiency is a known cause of both thyroid nodules and fibrocystic breast changes. This doesn't mean to randomly take extra minerals - Consult a Health professional well versed in these matters.

Here's a list of common growths the body creates - - Cysts – Fluid-filled sacs (common in ovaries, breasts, skin) - Nodules – Small solid lumps (seen in thyroid, lungs, liver) - Fibroids – Benign muscular tumors (usually found in the uterus) - Polyps – Tissue overgrowths on mucous membranes (colon, uterus, nasal passages) - Lipomas – Soft, fatty deposits under the skin - Skin tags – Small, soft flaps of skin (often in areas of friction like armpits or neck) - Ganglion cysts – Fluid-filled lumps near joints or tendons (commonly wrists or hands) - Calcifications – Hardened mineral deposits in soft tissues (like breasts, arteries) - Keloids – Overgrown, raised scar tissue beyond the original wound site - Swollen lymph nodes – Enlargement due to infection, inflammation, or immune activity - Granulomas – Small nodular areas of chronic inflammation (common in lungs, liver, skin) - Hemangiomas – Benign tumors made of blood vessels (appear as red or purple birthmarks) - Sebaceous cysts – Cysts filled with sebum (typically form under the skin near hair follicles) - Bone spurs – Bony projections that develop along joints due to wear and tear - Neuromas – Thickened nerve tissue (often painful, like Morton’s neuroma in the foot) - Goiters – Enlarged thyroid gland (can appear as a neck swelling) - Warts – Small, rough growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) - Moles – Pigmented skin spots that can be flat or raised, usually benign - Papillomas – Benign epithelial tumors (like HPV) - Abscesses – Pockets of pus caused by bacterial infection, inflammation, or injury - Buffalo Hump – A fatty pad or lump at the upper back/base of the neck You have one of these and wish you knew WHY? So you go to your Doctor and they share their thoughts with You as to why you have it or the cause. Often drugs, burning it off or out, radiation or surgery are the most common solution?

Why chemical filters like oxybenzone are more dangerous than you think. Common Chemical UV Filters to Avoid- - Oxybenzone - Avobenzone - Octinoxate - Homosalate - Octocrylene These chemicals are absorbed through the skin and have been detected in blood, urine, and even breast milk — sometimes days or weeks after a single use. How They Disrupt Hormones - Check to see if this correlates with a known Health Condition of yours or someone You love. Oxybenzone - Acts like a xenoestrogen (a synthetic compound that mimics estrogen) - Can bind to estrogen receptors, throwing off hormone balance - Linked to lower testosterone in adolescent boys - Associated with endometriosis, fertility issues, and earlier puberty in women Avobenzone - Degrades quickly in sunlight unless stabilized with other chemicals (like octocrylene) - Can form reactive oxygen species that damage cells and DNA - Disrupts the thyroid axis, affecting metabolism and energy regulation Octinoxate - Mimics estrogen and can interfere with progesterone and testosterone - Alters signaling in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis - Shown in animal studies to cause reproductive system disruption Others (like Homosalate & Octocrylene) - Linked to androgen suppression (lowering DHEA and testosterone) - Disrupt thyroid and adrenal hormone production - Increase oxidative stress and inflammation in the body These are not just “inactive ingredients.”They're bioactive, endocrine-disrupting, and often unregulated in terms of long-term human exposure. Even small, repeated exposures can add up — especially for children, teens, and women already dealing with hormone imbalances. Do you know of someone that uses lots of Sunscreen or regularly that suffers from any of these?
