Body communication: Pay attention to body symptoms as they may indicate underlying issues, don't dismiss common symptoms as normal, and prioritize self-care to listen to your body's needs.
Our bodies communicate important messages to us through symptoms, and it's crucial to pay attention to them before they become severe. The speaker's personal experience of recognizing a decrease in passion and motivation, coupled with physical symptoms like sleep disruptions and acne, led her to prioritize self-care and listen to her body's needs. It's essential to remember that just because symptoms are common does not make them normal, and taking care of our well-being should be a priority. By understanding that our bodies are trying to communicate with us, we can make empowering choices that lead to growth and improved overall health.
Hormonal imbalances: Ignoring body symptoms and hormonal imbalances can lead to severe health issues, but identifying and addressing them through testing can restore energy, motivation, and overall wellbeing
Ignoring the signs and symptoms of our bodies can lead to extreme health issues, and it's essential to listen and address them to live a fulfilling life. Neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin are hormones, and imbalances in them can significantly impact our overall wellbeing. Reframing our mindset towards self-love and acknowledging that our body's functioning is meant to make us feel great is crucial. The journey towards hormonal balance often involves testing, such as blood panels and Dutch complete tests, to understand the root cause of symptoms and identify hormonal imbalances. These tests can provide valuable insights and empower individuals to take care of their bodies effectively. By addressing hormonal imbalances, individuals can regain their energy, motivation, and passion for life.
Adrenal fatigue: Chronic stress can lead to adrenal fatigue, causing symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and hormonal imbalances. Recovering requires addressing both physical and emotional stressors and making sustainable lifestyle changes.
Chronic stress can lead to adrenal fatigue, where the adrenals become exhausted from producing excessive cortisol for extended periods. This can result in various symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and hormonal imbalances. It's essential to address both the physical and emotional aspects of stress to achieve optimal health. A vacation may not be enough to recover from adrenal fatigue; instead, making sustainable lifestyle changes is necessary. Remember that you are one entity, and all aspects of your health are interconnected. By taking a holistic approach, accepting all parts of yourself, and practicing self-care, you can live in your optimal state and thrive.
Self-acceptance and inner work: Accepting and loving ourselves fully can reduce fear and anxiety, improve resilience, and build a strong connection with our bodies. A consistent daily practice can help us stay grounded and regulate our nervous system.
True health and wellbeing go beyond physical practices and require addressing the mindset and subconscious patterns that influence our autonomic nervous system. By accepting and loving ourselves fully, we can reduce fear and anxiety, improve our resilience, and build a strong connection with our bodies. A consistent daily practice, such as morning routines or somatic shaking, can help us stay grounded and regulate our nervous system, allowing us to navigate the ups and downs of life with greater ease. Remember, our bodies are designed to handle stress, but we must learn to hold and process it, rather than suppressing or ignoring it. Embrace your inner work and make friends with your subconscious mind for a healthier, more thriving life.
Ocean self-care: The ocean plays a significant role in emotional regulation and releasing suppressed emotions for the speaker, while a high-protein, fiber-rich breakfast is essential for stabilizing the nervous system and regulating blood sugar levels.
Nature, specifically the ocean, plays a crucial role in the speaker's self-care routine and overall well-being. The ocean provides emotional regulation, helps release suppressed emotions, and brings the speaker back to themselves. In terms of nutrition, the speaker emphasizes the importance of a high-protein, fiber-rich breakfast to stabilize the nervous system and regulate blood sugar levels. The macronutrient focus extends to fat, which is essential for hormonal health. The speaker also shares her love for coffee and how it brings her joy, despite cutting back on caffeine due to stress. Overall, the speaker's morning routine is centered around prioritizing self-care through nature and nutrition.
Breakfast Protein and Fiber Requirements: Aim for 12-14 grams of protein at breakfast, but individual needs may vary. Prioritize protein sources like tuna, Greek yogurt, or a protein shake, and include fiber from vegetables, especially cooked fibers and leafy greens, and healthy fats like avocado, coconut, nuts, and seeds.
While 2 eggs may not provide enough protein for a satisfying and nutritious breakfast, it's important to consider individual needs and progress. Aim for 12-14 grams of protein, but don't feel bound to a specific number or food source. Experiment with different options like tuna, Greek yogurt, or a protein shake, and prioritize sustainability and personalization. Fiber can be obtained through vegetables, and the choice of fiber depends on digestive function. Cooked fibers and leafy greens are easier to digest in a nervous system dysregulated state. Healthy fats, such as avocado, coconut, nuts, and seeds, are essential for reducing inflammation and absorbing fat-soluble nutrients. Be cautious with processed oils, and opt for raw, whole food sources of fat.
Small lifestyle changes: Making small, sustainable changes in daily habits can lead to significant improvements in overall well-being within a few weeks, such as cooking at home, cutting coffee, and practicing breathwork and morning shaking routine.
Small, sustainable changes in daily habits can lead to significant improvements in overall well-being within a matter of weeks. The speaker shares her personal experience of committing to a healthier diet and lifestyle, which led to cooking at home, cutting coffee, and practicing breathwork and morning shaking routine. She feels like a different person after just three weeks, and she believes that everyone has the potential to wake up feeling like a better version of themselves every day. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of reflection and finding people who support and inspire personal growth. She expresses her gratitude for the impact their conversations have had on her life and encourages listeners to seek out like-minded individuals and resources to help them live the lives they desire.
