Didn't Cancel!

I didn't have to cancel my classπŸ˜­πŸ™πŸ½πŸ˜­.....some of you may or may not know, but for the last 20 years, my fibroids have been a CONSTANT Pain & I'm finally starting to feel better from just a few changes I've made.

πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½

Inflammation can be thought of as the body saying, β€œSomething's not right here, let's focus on fixing it.”

So I decided to stop saying...this is how it will ALWAYS be for me and I started researching more.

I found ou that Chronic pain and inflammation can also be signs of imbalances in hormones too....

So here's what's been helping me.......

Here are 🌱TEN🌱 ways to help decrease inflammation and balance your hormones....

1. Get enough protein. Proteins provide amino acids that your body cannot make on its own and are needed to produce peptide hormones. These hormones play a crucial role in regulating several physiological processes, including growth, energy metabolism, appetite, stress, and more.

(I have increased my protein to around 100 grams a day now).

2. Exercise regularly. Getting enough physical activity strongly influences your hormonal health. It enhances hormone receptor sensitivity, helping the delivery of nutrients and hormone signals.

3. Maintain a moderate weight. Weight gain is directly associated with hormonal imbalances. Obesity relates to a lack of ovulation in women. Eating within your calorie range can help maintain hormonal balance.

4. Watch your gut health. Your gut produces numerous metabolites that can affect hormone health.

(Supplements with a 95% absorption rate have been a game changer for me).

5.Lower sugar intake. Minimizing added sugar intake can help balance hormones. Eating added sugar promotes insulin resistance, and fructose intake is linked to disruptions in the gut microbiome, ultimately leading to hormonal imbalances.

6. Reduce stress. Stress can significantly harm the body’s hormones in many ways. Work to decrease and manage your daily stress.

7. Get enough sleep. Sleep is one of the most important factors in hormonal imbalance. The levels of hormones can rise and fall throughout the day due to the quality of sleep. (I also take an incredible magnesium supplement that has also helped my "crawling" legs and I sleep SO SOUNDLY NOW.)

8. Eat healthy fats. Healthy fat intake can work to maintain balanced hormones that are involved with appetite, metabolism, and feeling full.

9 Eat plenty of fiber. Fiber plays a role in gut health, helping regulate hormones like insulin.

(( I also added in more fiber in my coffee(like a healthy creamer without the toxins) and every morning I now have a breakfast bar. Who knew you should actually be πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’© 2-3x a day?!?!?!. I thought one time a day was enough. its NOT.))

Sweet 16!

Our marriage can drive a car. Happy sweet 16 Eddie!!!!

And yes, we did jump in the ocean after we said our I DO'S. It was the best day and it was just us 2 on the beach with our friend that married us and he brought a friend to take pics with our camera.

We had dated long distance not even 4 months before we got married and some people said we were crazy. Nah, just crazy in love. πŸ’Ÿ

Love you Ed Placencia thanks for marrying me. And thanks for letting me talk you into jumping into the ocean....along with all my other ideas. Some were great ideas, while others not so much, but you have always had my back. You are the most supportive friend I have. So so grateful for you babes. CheersπŸ₯‚

The Work

The work I was avoidingπŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½

Going after what my heart was telling me to do a year and a half ago.....

Deciding to start a couple new jobs in July really made me question my worth.

Was I a fraud for going after these new endeavors and did I just not try "HARD ENOUGH" to want to keep grinding in my other job?

No, the reason was actually pretty simple.

Being the REBEL that I am, the work I was doing started to feel like corporate America.

Cut backs, under appreciation, not having the same opportunity as someone else bc of where I was "placed" ....and it became work that I didn't feel like I could lead people to the same success that I had had because of these changes, and that didn't sit right with me.

I am STILL doing what I love and I am helping people become healthier has NOT changed. I just NOW feel better about the work that I do.

I won't tell people.....

"you just have to GRIND HARDER."

"You have to sacrifice time to get time."

"Just keep doing what worked 10 years ago."

That's Insanity people. Doing the SAME THING, expecting different results.

Maybe it's not that work that you did that wasn't enough, maybe it's the work that's not working FOR YOU.

I had heard that, maybe thinking that "you didn't work hard enough to get the results you want" ...that INSTEAD you start to think..."the work didn't work hard enough to KEEP YOU."

If you feel me on this, then maybe it's also time for you to make a stand for what you feel is right.

People pleasing and wanting to do a GOOD JOB can only take you so far because if you start to feel tore down instead of built up, then it's not you babe.

I'm WORTHY for more...not for less. And if someone doesnt recognize that for you too, then maybe it's time to move forward too.
