As we head into the Canada Day long weekend, let’s take a moment to recognize the power of the season we’re in. Summer is nature’s metabolic reset button—and the perfect time to reconnect with habits that stabilize blood sugar, support insulin sensitivity, and boost energy.
Think about it:
☀️Longer daylight hours = better circadian rhythm and sleep
🏃♀️ More natural movement = improved glucose uptake
🥗Seasonal whole foods = fiber, antioxidants, and real nourishment
🌿Time in nature = reduced cortisol, better mood, deeper breath
This weekend, focus on:
☀️ Natural light exposure: Try getting sunlight in your eyes within 30 minutes of waking. This helps regulate cortisol and insulin sensitivity for the rest of the day.
💧 Hydration with minerals: Hot days and sweating can throw off electrolyte balance. Add a pinch of sea salt, lemon, or use trace mineral drops to support energy and cellular function.
🥒 Fiber-rich seasonal meals: Enjoy berries, greens, cucumbers, radishes, grilled veggies—so much goodness is in season. Fiber helps stabilize blood sugar and feed your good gut bugs.
🧘 Slow down to eat mindfully: Picnics, barbecues, and cottage weekends are chances to savor, connect, and chew well. This supports digestion and helps prevent overeating.
Your challenge:
Choose one intentional metabolic habit this weekend and see how it impacts your energy, cravings, or mood. What summer habit helps YOU feel your best? Let’s celebrate the long weekend by sharing what makes us feel vibrant, strong, and in sync with the season.
