I have to share this!! Last week I broke my toe in 2 places and was looking for ways to heal it quickly and was told to soak it in hydrogen water. I had been wanting to try this for a different reason- it helps negate the harmful effects of EMFs (electromagnetic radiation) because hydrogen regulates oxidative stress and inflammation. So needless to say I have been going down the rabbit hole because its really interesting how it works and helps with so many different things.

Scientists have been studying the benefits of molecular hydrogen for the last 10 years and the studies are extremely promising. Due to its small size and bioavailability it easily crosses cell membranes, the blood-brain barrier and accesses parts the cell that other antioxidants are too large to reach. It has also shown significant reduces symptoms in Parkensons, Alzheimers, Psoriasis and so many other autoimmune diseases!

Here are some of the benefits:
•Improve cognitive function
•Reduce inflammation
•Promote cellular health
•Increase energy
•Have better skin health and tone
•Improve sleeping patterns
•Enhance athletic performance + decrease recovery time
•Support healthy weight management
•Hydrate at the cellular level
•Prevent hangovers

I can really feel a difference since taking it, I have more sustained energy and focus. Everyones experience with this will be different depending on what is going on with them.

Let’s talk about stress!

First off lets talk about cortisol and what it does. Cortisol has gotten a bad rap. It is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands and its known as the stress hormone- the flight or fight response. We are hard wired to have high cortisol in the morning and low cortisol in the evening. This rhythm often gets disrupted by lifestyle and perceived stressors- our brains can not differentiate between perceived stressors and real stressors. As cortisol levels are disrupted, norepinephrine (neurotransmitter) levels increase. High norepinephrine causes increased heart rate, increased blood pressure and it feels like anxiety. When cortisol is depleted it depletes other hormones causing a host of problems.

Here are some of the things I have been doing to combat stress and balance out my adrenals.
🔅meditation
🔅yoga
🔅anything that activates the parasympathetic system- (massage, breath work)
🔅cordyceps (I add this to my morning coffee)
🔅licorice root (best taken in morning)
🔅Holy basil
🔅Vit A, C & B5
🔅Intravenous NAD+
🔅Ashwagandha (use at bedtime)
🔅Glycine (good for liver at bedtime)
​
If you are still feeling tired, have slow recovery or feelings of stress and anxiety check your cortisol levels. Its an easy test to do at home. Want more info on this?

Do you have back pain? Most of us will experience it at one time or another. What you do when you experience it will make all the difference in how it heals.
Is your first instinct to stretch, get a massage or use the foam roller? That used to be my go to and while these are great tools they are not the best thing to do when you are in pain. The key is to wait until the pain subsides before you start in on stretching and foam rolling or massage. Otherwise you risk over-stretching the area and causing more pain.
The idea is to get the stability back in the back and by doing massage and stretching its loosening the muscles but not providing any stability so the back is not supported and will end up hurting again.
Some of the things to do when you are in pain are:
👉ice, ice and more ice. Lay on an ice pack for about 20 min a few times a day.
👉 If needed ibuprofen a few times a day for about 2-3 days to break the pain cycle and then switch to a natural anti inflammatory like Zyflamend or a Turmeric supplement.
👉Recently I discovered Cobiaba and Frankincense essential oils are great for pain and so easy to use. Put one or two drops under the tongue daily or use topically on area of pain. **These oils must be therapeutic grade to take internally.
👉Find a good chiropractor and get adjusted.

Once you are feeling better, deep core stability exercises are really beneficial as well as strengthening the posterior chain muscles (basically all the muscles of the back/glutes/hamstrings)🙂

If you rely on waiting until you feel motivated to make a change nothing will change even if you want something different.

We think we have to “feel” a certain way before we make changes or do the thing and when we do, that feeling will lead to the new actions and results. NOPE that is not how it works. I am guilty of this myself. Change is not always easy but necessary in order to grow. Sometimes the Universe will do it for you and push you along whether you are ready of not.

Habits and actions are what leads to massive changes and results. By just starting with one thing today can lead to massive change in the future! Its a choice, a decision and then its doing those habits that will get you there even when you don’t feel like it.
​
What new habit are you ready to start?  I want to hear! Mine is continuing this journey i started when I said yes to the Tony Robbins seminar Unleash the Power Within 🙏
Make your move!

Did you know that stretching is just as important as exercise? I admit on occasion, I have skipped this important part after my workout when I was in a time crunch The importance of stretching is huge, not only for the body but also the mind as it reduces stress.

Some benefits of stretching:
improves range of motion
decrease back pain
improves posture
prevents injuries
increases flexibility
increases blood and nutrient supply to muscles thereby possibly reducing muscle soreness
...
Did you know that muscles and joints weaken and range of movement deteriorates as we age but with regular stretching that doesn’t have to happen
I am all about anti aging and I’m doing anything I can to stop the process!

What is Chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is the most important constituent of plants. It allows plants to absorb light from the sun and convert it into energy. It possesses an amazing range of benefits and is readily available to everyone..

It is a great detoxifier because it prompts the production of liver enzymes that aid the body’s natural elimination process. These enzymes bind to unwanted materials in the liver and transport them safely out of the body.

The easiest way to take it is to add it to water. Mine is mint flavored and tastes good. Don’t let the color scare you! 


Here are some benefits of taking chlorophyll:

Helps control hunger
Aids in weight loss
Controls body oder
Promotes cleansing
Super potent antioxident
Effective against candida albicans
Relieves systemic redness and swelling
Promotes healthy iron levels
Promotes the production of red blood cells
​The components are anti inflammatory

My happy place😀 love to chill by the pool listening to inspirational podcasts and getting some vitamin D! I can really feel the difference in my energy and mood I get outside 😎☀️I always feel better after being outside for a bit and now I know why!

Did you know that when light enters the eyes it stimulates the photoreceptors of the retina.👀 Part of this light goes through a special pathway which stimulates the hypothalamus (the master gland of the body) this sends signals to the pineal and pituitary glands which helps us balance our circadian rhythms. (our wake and sleep cycles) This is why people develop SAD in the winter! ...
Light stimulation is needed to help improve retinal health, increase tear production, reduce ocular inflammation, and improve neurological health. 🌞

Who knew?? I love learning new things about the body! Happy Sunday😀

These cups are so cute!! I am all about good vibes
It’s so important to be around positive energy- good vibes! We may not have control over what others say or do but we do have control over how we react to it. It is in our reactions that will either make a situation worse or better. I have been dealing with this lately and its been super challenging and very draining But at the end of the day I can honestly say I feel good about how I reacted and dealt with the situation the best I could. Sometimes that means letting go of something that is no longer serving your highest purpose and letting yourself be open to something better and having the faith that it will come!

If you are not happy with how your life is you have the power to change it. Take responsibility for where you are at and be kind to yourself. It all starts with the decision to change. Once you put that into motion, things will automatically flow to you.

In the meantime, find people who lift you up and who support you and believe in you. Listen to motivational podcasts, personal development, do some yoga, meditate, just be around positive energy! it really does make a difference!

Putting on regular clothes for the first time in a long time and it felt good! ...
After being sick with food poisoning 😝 for the last week I am now doing some gut healing. Especially since 80-90% of our immunity is found in the gut.

I will admit it was kinda scary being sick during this time but so grateful for all the healing tools I had at home to help.

Here are some of the things that I am doing to help heal and seal my gut that might help you too.
•L Glutamine- this is an amazing supplement and it helps heal the gut lining as well as a great recovery drink after workouts.
•bone broth
•Essential oils oregano, peppermint and a digestion blend- (do your research on the oils because not all oils are made to be ingested)
•eliminating coffee (this is hard now because I am feeling better and want my coffee
•probiotics (not all probiotics are made the same….do your research on these. I am taking Just Thrive probiotics
•CBD ( I like soul CBD)
•tons of water •and a little energy work
Hope this helps!
