You've heard a hundred times over. Exercise, exercise, exercise!!!

But you should be asking "Why?". Not just blindly following what people say.

In this episode, I go over "why" exercise is important, how it affects you mentally and physically and what "just the right amount" of exercise is for you.

Also, I mentioned several episodes in this episode and that are linked below!

Enjoy!

Week 2 of How Your Lifestyle is messing with your Hormones!

This week's topic is SLEEP!

We all need it, we all want it, we all function better with quality sleep!

Hope you enjoy today's education and tactical episode!

Below are the episodes referenced in this episode!

1. Episode # 31 Sleep is affecting your lack of weight loss, the truth about sleeping better- quality vs quantity!
2. Episode # 71 Want better sleep, more energy, and less anxiety!? Try this!
3. Episode #74 This hormone can be causing your weight gain, sleep problems, lack of energy.

Stress triggers so many hormones in the body! Hormones that affect our waistline, our mind, and our energy. It's SO crazy how intricate the web of hormones is in our body.

This episode is a little more "science-y" if that's a word. LOL. But I think if you truly know "why" you're making changes and know "what" is changing you're more likely to see results faster when you start making better lifestyle choices.

There are several episodes mentioned in this episode and they are all linked below!

Hope you enjoy this episode!

SAD😢

The Standard American Diet is very sad. We have been taught the food pyramid in school which promoted breads, etc. because there were people in the government who were making money off of grain.

Not because bread was "good" for us.

Unfortunately, there is so much lacking in our American diets and we need to "relearn" what is healthy and learn how to listen to our bodies and know what is good for us as individuals and what makes us feels like crap!

Today's episode is about one item that we lack that is good for most people.

Also, I share how we incorporate three of these foods into our families diets so get a pen and paper and get ready to write down these "family recipes" LOL!
