Do you ever feel like you don’t have anything worth celebrating? If so, I see you—and you aren’t alone. We recently touched on the fact that humans are wired with a strong negativity bias. This is because our ancestors paid more attention to threats and dangers rather than pleasure. Additionally, the negative events are where we learn our deepest lessons. There are good reasons why we focus on the negative. With that said, it’s not healthy or productive to always focus on the negative. That sounds depressing, huh? Oftentimes, we must retrain our brains to focus on the positive. This takes commitment, awareness, and intentionality—and that is exactly the reason we set aside Fridays to focus on the positive! Oftentimes, we don’t take the time to celebrate ourselves when we’re navigating this journey alone, and that’s why we program in celebrating at least once per week. The goal is to help you focus on the positive on a consistent basis. 💯 Even if you initially feel like you don’t have anything worth celebrating, I’m certain that when you take some time to think about it, you’ll discover that simply isn’t true. Remember, positive thinking requires awareness and intentionality. So, without further ado, let’s focus on the positive and find your win because it’s worthy of celebration! 🎉 TAKING ACTION: ✅ Take a moment to find something worthy of sharing today, friends, and let’s celebrate your weekly wins! 🎉

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?

Happy Friday, friends! Today’s the day we get to celebrate our weekly wins! 🎉 If we had drastically decreased your overall intake this month while adding in our extra walking challenge (on top of your regular workout programming), you would’ve burned out within a week. Less food + extra movement don’t get along. You already know that food is energy (literal energy, packed in different colors, shapes, and textures)---and when you deprive yourself of energy, your workouts suffer. Not only that, but you can forget about adding in extra movement (like we have this month) when you don’t have enough energy to support it. 💯 I think it goes without saying, but we don’t want that. We want enough energy to push through our workouts, get a few extra steps in, thrive through our day—and of course, celebrate our weekly wins! That isn’t too much to ask, is it? 😉 So, without further ado, let’s celebrate ourselves and one another today! 🎉 TAKING ACTION: ✅ Share your weekly win below and celebrate the person who comments above you today! Be proud of yourselves, friends!

Did you know the average person eats, drinks, and even breathes in tiny pieces of plastic every single day? These are called microplastics (smaller than 5 mm) and nanoplastics (so tiny they can cross into our bloodstream). 💡 Scientists have found them in: - Human blood 🩸 - Placenta and breast milk 🤰 - Lungs, liver, and even the heart 💔 The problem? These plastics don’t just sit quietly — they can: - Disrupt hormones (leading to fatigue, weight gain, and fertility struggles) - Cause inflammation in the gut and other organs - Carry toxic chemicals and heavy metals into your body 👉 Imagine your body working hard every day to process food, detox waste, and balance hormones — and then constantly being bombarded with plastic particles. ⚡ Did you already know we’re walking around with plastic inside us? What’s the craziest place you’ve heard microplastics have been found? I will post part 2 next Friday!

“Here is your weight loss checklist, whether you are twenty, fifty, or eighty years of age: adequate protein intake, strength training, daily movement, consistency, and patience.” ~Susan Niebergall (Fit at Any Age: It's Never Too Late) As you probably noticed, our overall program and platform aligns with the advice given in the quote above; however, today I want to focus on one specific point— Friends, there is a good reason why we don’t do extreme cuts or deficits in our program/platform. Instead, we focus on whole foods, eating intuitively and moving our bodies. That’s why so many of you began my program, especially the Elite and Concierge, and couldn’t believe how much you could eat and still see results in the beginning! The reasons why drastic dieting doesn’t work are too numerous to count, and we’ll talk more about them this week. But the overall point you need to lock in today is that eating whole foods and eating intuitively are sustainable AND they help you reach your goals while protecting your metabolism and overall health. More to come on this in the days ahead! 💯 TAKING ACTION: ✅ How does this program differ (in terms of drastic dieting) from other plans you’ve tried in the past? Do you have more freedom?
