HAPPY EASTER!!!
I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend with your friends and family. It's a time of celebrating new beginnings, renewal and light.
Most of you know I'm a dog person (specifically a rescue dog mom and shelter dog walker :) But you may not know I studied journalism in college. So, I love the opportunity to be on the news to help rescue pups get the second chance they deserve. You can watch it on replay HERE.
On a much different note, after I posted "a few things I'm doing to feel lighter and healthier this spring" I have gotten a few emails and DMs for my thoughts on the new skinny trend using GLP1s. First, let me say I'm a health coach (not a doc) so stick with medical pros for personalized health advice. But, like I stated in the video, I'm personally sticking with what has been tried and true for thousands of years. And the continuing education I've done on longevity is about food and movement as medicine (so that's my focus for now).
Here are a few things I'm doing...
1) MOVE MORE... dancing, walking, hiking, strengthening & stretching). It's about fresh air and JOY (not just calories).
2) A Smoothie a day for gut health (here are some recipes to get you started :)... It's basically JERF (just eat real food, like I talked about in my "Find Your Flexible Warrior" book that was written over 10 years ago. Boring, I know.
3) YOGA has been practiced for thousands of years and is tried and true. Here is a 60 minute Spring Equinox Slow Flow Yoga
4) Toxin-free living! Have you ever cleaned your house with essential oils? OMG the best :) Reach out if you want the oils I use (I make a lot of my own cleaning products and careful to avoid "green washing" products. Read labels!
5) CLOSET & HOUSE DETOX!!! I've been in a house and closet purge phase for 5 years + upgrading to non-toxic skin-care, toiletries and cleaning products.
And definitely YES to a digital detox, and pushing away from social media influencers and celebrities who are trying desperately to convince us to buy into their magic solutions to health and longevity. It definitely requires both WILLPOWER and CHILLPOWER to navigate the overwhelming incoming information and make choices that are aligned with long-term health and wellness goals.
What are YOU doing to feel lighter and healthier this spring?
For now, I'm sticking with the tried and true things that helped support my healing after being diagnosed with Lyme disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (which BTW also helped me navigate through menopause ;) I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts, concerns and questions!
Locals, join me in person..
Stay healthy, strong and
flexible, warriors :) XO
