Warm Wellness

This Friday. Spots still available. Would love to see some friendly faces.

WORKSHOP

Are you constantly reaching for sugary foods, carbs, or caffeinated drinks, especially in the afternoon — just to give yourself a temporary energy boost?

Do you often wake up exhausted, after a "decent" night's sleep barely able to get through your long to-do list before you run out of steam?

Would you like to learn simple adjustments to your diet or lifestyle that can increase your energy for good?

If you’re struggling with feeling tired all the time -- even when you might be getting enough sleep – KNOW that it can absolutely change.

In this workshop I am going to share:
- The fastest way to increase your energy for good (and it doesn’t involve supplements or caffeine)!
-Teach you the little-known culprits you might be unintentionally doing every day that robs your body of vital nutrients and leaves you feeling tired.
-A simple strategy you can implement immediately to avoid the afternoon blahs.

Healthy Relationships - My Swiss Story A healthy relationship is one of life’s greatest forms of medicine. 

I see it way too often...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I myself fell into the mindset trap as I started transitioning from my late 40's to early 50's.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I let my anxiety and self doubt get the better of me the last few years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I started to feel invisible as my hair turned gray, my skin became less shiny and my thighs got thicker. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For so many years, I measured my worth by all the checkmarks associated with my younger self.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I even tended to surround myself with friends that were younger. (Two of which I lost to my insecurities in the past two years). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But at some point last year I realized that I was falling prey to all the marketing bulls$ #! that society puts on women as they age. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That we are worthless without our reproductive abilities⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That we are crazy as we age⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That we can't be beautiful and wise⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That our worth is less than those of our younger companions⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am calling BS on all of that!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year I vow to reclaim my voice and be an advocate for all women as we age. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't want to age gracefully⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want to age with fierceness, passion and purpose⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I encourage you as we enter this first month of the new year, to question all the limiting beliefs you've been told about aging. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can do hard things, aging doesn't have to be one of them!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are you waiting for? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is no better time than right now to pursue your dreams. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Getting an appropriate amount of sleep is essential to good health. The hustle and bustle of the holidays often make that harder to accomplish. Here are some basic tips to get a better night sleep around the holidays:

1. Keep to your regular sleep schedule: Try as best you can to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. This will help regulate your sleep and restore your energy, so you'll feel much more vigorous and up to the festivities.
2. Take naps: Daytime naps can be very beneficial as they reduce stress, improve memory function and concentration, and balance our nervous system. However, a few things to consider: don't nap longer than 30 minutes and don't nap after 3 p.m., as that can make it harder to fall asleep at night.
3. Get moving: Exercise releases endorphins, naturally produced by the body. It also synchronizes the body clock, facilitates sleep, and leads to deeper sleep.
4. Don't overdo it: While it may seem that having a drink or two will help you fall asleep, alcohol (especially in large quantities), will actually disturb your sleep cycle, causing you to wake up often during the night or wake up in the very early hours and not get back to sleep.

There is a never-ending list of health benefits from increasing your water intake, especially around the holidays when you may be moving less and eating more. Here are just a few reasons why you should start drinking more water:

1. Improved joint lubrication
2. Forms saliva and mucus, which aids in digestions
3. Delivering oxygen throughout the body
4. Boosts skin health and appearance
5. Regulation of body temperature
6. Flushes body waste
7. Curbs cravings
And so much more!

It's easy to get thrown out of your routine during the holiday season, which can throw off your hunger cues and potentially your metabolism.
Try to stick to your regular eating schedule as much as possible. If that’s really difficult, at the very least, prioritize a healthy, balanced breakfast. Observational studies have shown that eating breakfast can help regulate appetite and increase satiety, as well as even improve sleep quality! Plus, this recent study showed that eating a large breakfast (as opposed to a large dinner) burns more calories during the day!

The holidays are a time of overindulgence. A great way to ensure you are enjoying the festivities while holding yourself accountable is portion control. Here are a few tips to help you remain within healthy limits for eating holidays meals:

1. Use a smaller plate
2. Aim for half your plate to be veggies, with a portion of protein and fat to help you feel fuller longer.
3. Put leftovers away instead of picking at them
4. Wait for about 20 minutes before reaching for a second helping
5. Ask for less

Take the guilt out of your holiday meals by making small food swaps at your table this year. Choosing green beans instead of green bean casserole, or using whole-grain bread over buttered rolls are a great start!

Here are some healthy holiday recipes that don’t hold back on flavor: https://bit.ly/3BGbezz

Let's face it, we love to indulge around the holidays. A great way to find balance around the holidays is to incorporate physical activity into your entertainment. Go for a walk after a big meal. Plan a family hike. Throw/kick a football in the backyard. Go for a group bike ride or walk around the neighborhood. All of these are great ways to get moving while staying true to your holiday theme!

Have another idea for a healthy activity? I'd love to hear about it in the comments!
