Foundational Work #3: Detox Your Daily Life
Have you ever thought about how much stuff touches your body every day? The soap you lather on, the candle you light, the lipstick you swipe, the food you grab on the go—these small, daily choices either help or harm your body. And let’s be real: most of us don’t realize just how much our modern lifestyles are bombarding us with toxins.
Foundational Work #2: The Power of Sleep
In a world that glorifies hustle and productivity, sleep is often the first sacrifice we make. We stay up late to finish work, wake up early to tackle responsibilities, and rely on caffeine to push through the exhaustion. But what if I told you that sleep is one of the most powerful tools for healing, restoring your body, and even transforming your health?
Foundational Work #1: Inner Peace
We have been wired to believe “INSTANT RESULTS” in all areas of our WELLNESS (SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY) is also an ACHIEVABLE reality. IT IS NOT. Well, NOT if your desire is for LONG TERM TRANSFORMATION. Why INNER PEACE is the Missing Key to Your Wellness Journey: The Truth FEW Talk About.
Pro-Aging Tip #10: Movement
Our intentions for working out may be to stay fit, lose weight, set the lymphatic system in motion, oxygenate our blood, get those happy hormones flowing, and/or attend to our overall health. All excellent reasons for moving our body. What we don’t plan on is having our workouts BACKFIRE on us, creating weight gain, stress, and discouragement. The truth is that women in their 40’s and beyond should NOT be spending an excessive amount of time on a machine or taking part in overtly strenuous workout regimens.
Pro-Aging Tip #9: Trust Your Maker
If you follow after God and believe with all your heart He is your CREATOR, then we must dig deep and ask some crucial questions. And YES, this has EVERYTHING to do with your physical health. When our spirit and soul are wandering and lost it most certainly impacts our physical bodies. Our SPIRIT and SOUL were meant to be FILLED with HIM. False substitutions lead to unfulfillment and the hamster wheel cycle continues.
Pro-Aging Tip #8: Renew Your Mind
They tell us that a pill or medication is the magic solution. Yet we witness souls in every walk of life still struggling beyond measure despite these drastic measures. I was one of them, and I share from a deeply personal perspective. This topic is multi-layered and no doubt complex, but I have witnessed restoration in both myself and other precious souls. Mental distress, depression and anxiety is unique in different people so in no way am I dismissing the array of these very real and personal experiences. First and foremost, our mind can be a great battleground.
Pro-Aging Tip #7: Detoxing Your Body, Soul, and Spirit
There’s something refreshing about a deep cleanse. Whether it’s detoxing, resetting your body with nourishing foods or clearing your mind of negativity, the process of detoxification allows space for new life to flourish. Just as we remove toxins from our bodies to feel lighter and more energized, we must also clear the weight of what is burdening our spirit and soul.
Pro-Aging Tip #6: Glow From the Inside Out
Does your skin look and feel DULL, DRY, ROUGH and TIRED despite your greatest efforts to improve your SKINCARE PRODUCTS and PRACTICES? A few weeks ago I shared some of my FAVORITE holistic skin care products and practices. While WHAT goes on our skin is VITAL and a TRANSFORMATIVE part of the process, we also need to be reminded that HEALTHY SKIN that is GLOWING and RADIANT begins WITHIN. 🌟 What we put INTO our bodies matters just as much, if not MORE in my opinion, as what we put ON our skin.
Pro-Aging Tip #5: Hormone Harmony
Hormones play a vital role in every woman’s health and well-being. But what if the key to balancing them lies not just in the hormones themselves—or the well-known thyroid gland—but in the health of two often-overlooked organs: your gut and your liver? Let’s dive in and get you to a place of feeling balanced, happy, and healthy.
Pro-Aging Tip #4: Discover the Power of Non-Toxic Beauty
Here’s the short of it… WHAT goes ON your skin and IN YOUR BODY, day in and day out, is impacting your overall HEALTH. A cream, a pill, an injection seems like a quick and easy solution to what we view as problems. These seemingly harmless choices all too often carry with them long term health implications disguised as ANTI AGING BEAUTY PREVENTATIVES and ENHANCERS.
Pro-Aging Tip #3: Thrive Naturally with Holistic Seasonal Remedies for Prevention and Restoration
Illness seems to be everywhere and it can often seem altogether frightening. Fear often arises from a lack of control. A lack of control can arise when unprepared. Being unprepared causes us to be desperate and capable of skewed and/or quick decision making often leading to greater health woes. Trust me I’ve been there. I repeatedly put my health and the health of my family in the hands of others. So this week’s PRO AGING TIP is all about empowerment. Empowering YOU with TOOLS that both prevent illness and restore the physical body.
Pro-Aging Tip #2: Quality Sleep Matters
The Wellness Game-Changer You’re Overlooking: Sleep. I know! I know! This may SOUND blatantly OBVIOUS or beyond FRUSTRATING to YOU. Possibly BOTH. We were created to REST , REPAIR, HEAL and RESTORE in this sacred place of SLUMBER. It’s an essential piece in functioning as designed. In fact, it is just as crucial as the need for food and water. Most adults NEED between 7-9 hours of RESTFUL SLEEP to function properly.
Pro-Aging Tip #1: Shift Your Perspective
Hint: it doesn’t BEGIN with a new workout, serum or nutrition plan. I went from being overweight, inflamed, fatigued and anxious to feeling energetic, healthy, comfortable, and confident in my own skin. Have you been there? Feeling far from great, discouraged, hopeless and frightened about aging? I can relate.
The Best is Yet to Come: A Faithful Perspective on Aging Well
In less than a month I will be 50. I feel 26 in my mind but the reality is with every passing moment we ARE aging. That used to frighten me on countless levels. In part because I allowed the negative worldview of aging to find its way into my own heart and mind. I felt powerless against its forces. Personally living through the devastating heartache that CAN run parallel to aging ignited my will to rebel against these “norms.” ALL of THIS drove me deeper and deeper into discovering a DIFFERENT PATH. A more FRUITFUL, THRIVING path.
Could your symtoms be sacred messengers?
Perhaps you are experiencing INFLAMMATION, PAIN, HORMONAL ISSUES, WEIGHT GAIN, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, DIGESTIVE DISCOMFORT , FATIGUE, HEADACHES, IMMUNE DISFUNCTION, and/or something else entirely. THESE are SACRED MESSENGERS sharing the GIFT of ATTENTION, URGENCY and RESOLVE. For decades my body was SHOUTING at me in various ways BUT I wasn’t TRULY LISTENING.
Could mushroom coffee revolutionize your life?
Did you know that caffeine can raise cortisol levels? Here’s how replacing my morning coffee with mushroom coffee decreased my stress levels and up leveled other aspects of my health.
Could your mental and physical health be connected?
NOURISHING YOUR SOUL, MOVING YOUR BODY, HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES, SLEEP, and WATER INTAKE all have significant impact on your MENTAL HEALTH and ALL areas of your WELLNESS. At the time I was completely unaware that my problematic daily choices and previous medical directives were negatively impacting my hormones leading to further and far greater HEALTH issues. I was caught up in a CYCLE. A cycle that left me feeling depleted in too many areas of my life.
Are invited voices harming your health?
re the VOICES pouring into you each day SUPPORTING you as you GROW or are they DEPLETING YOU? Though some voices will be uninvited, what about those INVITED VOICES? THE VOICES you CHOOSE or PERMIT to take up residence in your heart and mind? THESE VOICES subconsciously permeate your SPIRIT and SOUL.
Your Gut Matters
What if I told YOU that the HEALTH of your GUT can impact BOTH your BODY and MIND? Perhaps you’ve never considered the role your GUT plays in your overall HEALTH. To begin, there is a vital link between the GUT and the BRAIN.
What are You speaking over your life ?
Words matter in regard to your health and overall life. You can even go so far as to say, what are thinking about yourself and your life is just as crucial. Speak life over yourself to see the improvements you so deeply desire.
