If you want a change it requires you to explore different habits and lifestyle choices which can come with some sacrifices.

👉 Changing the body requires changes in food and fitness.

👉 Changing the mind requires changes in thought and mindfulness tools.

👉 Changing the spirit requires changes in outlook and lifestyle.

You can’t expect to SEE the changes you want without making SACRIFICES in how you live. Sacrifices can be foods you need vs foods you want, making time for workouts, or getting up earlier to fit in lifestyle changes!

What are you willing to sacrifice for what you want?

Everything is connected!

If you are working towards optimizing your health and wellness and feel like something is still missing, or you have issues that aren’t seemingly getting fixed with traditional means - have you explored nurturing all 3 elements of health?

There is a connection betwixt the 3 elements of mind, body and spirit and when you fall short in one, it tends to compromise one or two of the others.

Physical ailments that cannot be explained have gone away when a person focuses on mental health.

Soul wellness can enhance both physical and mental health.

Being physically fit strengthens the mind and has shown to reduce mental illness.

All 3 elements play a role within each other, so if you are falling short in one, maybe it is time to explore what might be missing in the other two!

Here is to better health come 2026 yall and nurturing all 3 elements in optimal health!

Which element do you need more work in?

If you have thrown money into supplements and they are seemingly not working, what is going on in your gut my friend?

You have an entire gastrointestinal tract with multiple roles in digestion and absorption.

👉 If you aren’t absorbing protein or B12, do you have enough stomach acid to break those down?

👉 Melatonin not working? Melatonin is the end of a 3 part process:
tryptophan ➡️serotonin ➡️melatonin
You need to break down proteins for tryprophan, 90% of your serotonin is built in the gut with the help of tryptophan and serotonin is needed for the synthesis of melatonin!

👉 Not seeing the effects of fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K, or Omega 3’s)? How’s your gallbladder - are you producing enough bile to absorb those fats?

👉 Having issues with all supplements? How’s your gut lining, do you have holes that need repairing, is your microbiome off?

Before you leave a nasty review that a supplement “did nothing” maybe you should first ask WHY?

Test your stomach pH, gut microbiome, gut lining, gallbladder bile production, enzyme activity and see if these areas are producing what is needed to support supplement absorption.

If you test and find things are low, you can take HCl to raise stomach acid, bile salts to help with fat absorption, and additional enzymes to help with digestion.

Test before you guess and make sure you are absorbing what you are consuming. Getting full absorption could reduce the need to supplement!

What if every time you hit an obstacle your first thought was “I GOT THIS!”

If you are unaware, 2025 is a 9-year (2+0+2+5=9) and 9-years bring a lot of things to an end!

Not all endings are bad though, there’s ending addiction, ending a job you hate, and some relationships that end open the door for better ones to step in.

A 9-year can feel chaotic - HOWEVER - next year is a 1-year in 2026 (2+0+2+6=10, drop the zero).

1-years equal NEW BEGINNINGS!!

So it makes sense that a 1-year comes right after a 9-year because the universe is forcing people to make space for what is to come. Sometimes you are being shoved out that door so that you can find the two windows waiting for you.

Having this said, if you are feeling an urge to drop something that is not serving you, DO IT.

If you are feeling an urge to start something new, DO IT.

Now is the time to do the dang thing yall. Leave that job, start that business, drop that relationship that is not in your best interest! There are things waiting to come to you that will serve your best interest and now is the time to make space to welcome that energy in.

In short, it’s time to get off the pot!

DO IT - DO IT - DO IT - give yourself permission!

If your thought process is that if you can’t get to a gym or fit in an hour workout that you simply cannot workout, you are doing yourself and your joints a giant disservice!

So how can you at least give your joints the support they need in a smaller amount of time from home?

🔥KINETIC CHAIN EXERCISES 🔥

A kinetic chain exercise is one that works multiple sets of muscles, joints and tendons. If you are limited on time, at least do a couple exercises that give you more bang for your buck!

Check it out, you can do 6 x 1-minute reps in 10 minutes! If you can spare a quick 10 minutes first thing when you wake up or at some point during the day, you can at least do 2 sets of exercises that involve multiple muscle groups.

💪 BODY SQUATS: work all the muscles in your legs with multiple joints moving.
3 x 1 minute (45 second rest)

💪 PUSH UPS: work your arms, shoulders and chest muscles with multiple joints moving (yes you can start on your knees or standing against a counter).
3 x 1 minute (45 second rest)

Don’t do nothing, do at least 10 minutes that will help multiple sets of connective tissues and muscles.

You got this!

Your lymphatic system is a small network of vessels, nodes and organs that work together to pump excess fluid from your tissue back into your blood stream while also filtering out any waste and abnormal cells in the process.

When you have fluid buildup, are getting sick a lot, or have issues losing weight, one of the culprits could be that you are lacking proper flow in your lymphatic system.

Rebounding is a short, quick approach to moving your fluid through one way valves and shaking the fluid out of areas it may be stuck.

👉 HOW LONG - HOW OFTEN?
5 - 10 minutes, 2 - 3 times a week or make it a daily routine!

NOTE: Rebounding can be intense to calves/heels/arches. If you are currently sedentary, you need to start walking first, once a 30 minute walk becomes easy, THEN entertain rebounding and start with 30 seconds.

The old saying that “time heals all wounds” could not be further from the truth!!

In reality, time just helps you tuck that trauma into a part of your body that later causes pain or disease to grow.

Don’t rely on time to heal. Actively heal your traumas, big or small!

Create a mindfulness toolbox and use your tools to help you through! If you need more help grab some counseling, do emotion code therapy, if it’s deeper, look into EMDR.

You are responsible for your healing, not time.
