Hey, doc. @courtneyhuntmd How’s our reverse aging going? Better, faster, stronger, smarter than we were 25 years ago. Thanks for showing us how to use the force to build a cairn. Mantra, mantra, mantra in our minds. Retrocausality is real. I am the ultimate optogenetic light cone Ra dawg. Methylation matters. Epigenetics trumps genetics. Get up. Face east. See yourself well. Ketosis is a metabolic state of enlightenment. Vitamin D is a marker of Allah the light. The sun is the son. Get your water, salt and electrolytes right. Check your sleep. Beta hydroxybutyrate is great! 3-6-9, damn I’m fine. Fasting insulin less than 6 saves the dix sporting woods. Leptin 4-10 say it again. Make it don’t take it. Be in your Goldilocks zone so you can have the cognition to watch Mickey Mouse with his white socks on under October skies going to KFC. Hop, hop, hop. The faster you move through space the slower you move through time. If you’re not getting ready to puke, what are you even doing? Follow the yellow brick road to the emerald city where you’re free to roam about the cabin and create your reality to save the ones you love. Rey, these are the first steps. #sunrisesunshinesunsetrepeat #lightmitochondriadna taken in Seven Miles Beach. Negril, Jamaica. by @melanienicsinger

I eat like someone who trusts her metabolism. That’s what I say when someone asks me what I eat.

I eat everything. Especially eggs and seafood for their important nutrients.

Food prep has to be easy because I don’t enjoy cooking. 😝

That’s it. No complicated tracking or food avoidance. (Except liver. I avoid liver at all costs🤮). taken in Overland Park, Kansas by @melanienicsinger

Better balance starts from the ground up. 🦶

Join me for Healthy Feet, Better Balance, an interactive workshop exploring foot strength, toe mobility and how your feet work with your ankles, knees, hips and pelvis.

We’ll use gentle yoga-based movement and props like chairs, blocks and blankets, and you’ll leave with simple techniques to practice at home.

I don’t like to lift weights. And when I have to do something hard that I don’t want to do, I usually use helping others as my motivation.

I was raised to believe that if you’re given a strong and able body, you should use that strength in service to others. I stay strong in case someone else needs strength they don’t currently have.

I don’t find lifting weights interesting. And I’m resistant (🤣) to doing things I’m not interested in.

But leading up to Jamaica, I wanted to train for myself.

I wanted to feel strong in my body. And I wanted pictures of that strength in my favorite place, in front of the beautiful water of Negril.

So it was kind of a double whammy. I was doing something I don’t enjoy, without my usual mental motivator for doing it.

And at first, I actually felt weaker. Those final reps of every set were a struggle.

But I kept thinking about the women in this community. The ones getting up at sunrise and pushing through their own mental and physical roadblocks. And somehow, watching you keep going gave me that little push to persevere too.

I would have never made it without this online community of women who show up every damn day.

You are my New Power Generation!

Tagging you in the first comment because this post belongs to you, too.

We’re gonna change the world. Let’s go. 🙌🏽

A lot of you asked how I got Henry on board with all of this. The short answer is…I didn’t.

For almost a year, he watched me get up for sunrise in the middle of winter, block blue light at night and follow Dr. Hunt’s protocols while I worked on my own health.

I wasn’t trying to convince him. I was trying to see what would happen to me. And he was paying attention.

By the time I asked for him to join me, he’d already watched enough of my own transformation that most of the resistance was gone.

And for Henry, this wasn’t just about getting healthier or losing a few pounds. As a cancer survivor with a complicated health history, there were some very real reasons for him to see what improving his physiology might do for him.

So maybe the first lesson from the male perspective is one I wasn’t expecting: You don’t always have to convince them. Sometimes you just have to jump in and go first.

And judging by our first recording session, I’m also going to need a blooper reel. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣🧊🔥

Happy Anniversary @henrynicsinger 25 years between these pictures, but somehow they feel like yesterday. Negril then, Negril now, and the song that has always been ours. Truly. Madly. Deeply.

Setting up to answer all your questions for Henry. We haven’t made it past the microphone check. Fair warning: Henry has never met an opportunity for a dad joke he was willing to pass up. This should go well. 🧊🔥 taken in Overland Park, Kansas by @melanienicsinger

I keep the lights low and red when I have to workout before sunrise…which will be more and more often as the seasons switch. 😝#summergirl taken in Overland Park, Kansas by @melanienicsinger

One of my favorite things I packed for Jamaica. We planned a romantic sunset dinner on our balcony overlooking the Caribbean Sea. We never left the room all night. Exactly the kind of evening the @jjwinks Poppy Crush set was made for.

If you’ve been wanting to try JJwinks, my link gets you $15 off your order. I’ll put it in stories. #brafree #lounge taken in 7 Mile Beach - Negril, Jamaica by @melanienicsinger
