Real World Wellness

Type "YES" to affirm this to yourself.

"Am I going to have to do this forever?"

That is a question I have been asked by pretty much every client I have worked with.

And the unsexy but REAL answer is.............. YES!

If you want to be in great mental and physical shape forever, you are going to have to make your health a priority for the rest of your life.

It’s sort of a no-brainer, but it can still be discouraging to hear — especially if prioritizing your wellness is not easy or second nature for you right now.

But remember this: The longer you do something, the easier it gets!

For example, your job is easier now than when you first started it. Not because there's less effort involved, but because you've become more comfortable with how to properly & effectively do your job.

A healthy lifestyle is the same!

The more you exercise, the more you prioritize nutrition, the more you spend time meditating, the easier (and more comfortable) it becomes to continue doing those things — especially once you start to see and feel positive results.

The sooner you can accept that this healthy lifestyle is worth working for, the sooner you can escape the need for short-term motivation and start trusting the long-term process.

It is not the sexiest answer…

It is not something supplement companies can you sell in a magic bottle for $49.99. Supplement companies cannot sell you hope, education, or the real truth.

Real coaches can.

And most importantly, believing in yourself. Because without believing in yourself and trusting the process, this will have NO purpose.

For you, your friends, your families, your mindset, and your overall enjoyment in life can feed off of.

But it's the truth.

How sleep affects our hormones 🌛 A poor night's sleep can throw things out of whack...

After just one night of poor sleep:
⠀
⬆️ GHRELIN is the hormone that signals WE ARE HUNGRY - this increases.
⠀
⬇️ LEPTIN is the hormone that signals WE ARE FULL - this decreases.
⠀
⬆️ INSULIN is the "fat storage" hormone. Studies have shown that a poor night's sleep can make us temporarily insulin resistant, leading to insulin staying high.
⠀
⬇️ HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE is released during deep sleep and allows our tissues to grow and repair - less sleep = less HGH.
⠀
⬆️ CORTISOL is the "stress hormone" and causes us to store more fat and burn through muscle - this increases.

All of these changes can impact our ability to:⁠
⠀⁠
👉 lose fat⁠
👉 build muscle⁠
👉 manage inflammation⁠
👉 recover from injury⁠
👉 perform at our full potential⁠

Quality sleep could be the missing link in optimizing your health 😴
