🌿✨ Sometimes walking away is the answer. 🌿

🌿✨ Sometimes walking away is the answer. 🌿✨ 
To all the incredible, hardworking professionals out there trying to juggle it all: don’t forget that your success is also measured by how well you take care of yourself. The times you give your mind a break. At the end of your life I promise you won’t wish you had worked harder at your job. In the whirlwind of trying to keep it all a float, it’s easy to get caught up in the chaos and forget about the most important thing —your mental and physical health.
Here is what a lot of us need to learn: investing in your well-being isn’t selfish it isn’t a chore; it is the most valuable time you can spend with the biggest returns. 🌟💖
Imagine having a toolkit filled with go-to self-care practices that soothe your nervous system and bring harmony to your mind and body.
Picture starting your day tapping into ease, basking in the gentle glow of morning sunlight, grounding yourself in nature, and embracing the symphony of sounds around you while stay present with your breath.
No matter where you are you can find the time to do this.🌅🍃
This can be your reality and I am here to help you make it happen.

Let this be the year you finally decide to choose

Let this be the year you finally decide to choose yourself.
What are you saying yes to? Does it align with your highest good? How much of your power are you giving away? If you reflect on your life how much are you giving to others and how much do you invest in yourself?
One day, you’ll wake up and decide: enough is enough. Or you won’t. And what does that version of your life look like?
Eventually, you just get sick and tired of being unhappy and tired. It’s time to take back control of your life - this starts by taking control of your health. And when I say health - I mean both physical and mental health.
Reclaim your power by saying yes to you. Yes to the things that increase your health and vitality. Yes to practices that take you out of fight or flight and help you tap into flow.
It’s the small consistent habits that bring the most impactful change over time:
❤️Daily breath practice calms the nervous system and reduces stress.
❤️Consistent self-care rituals nurture your mind, body, and soul.
❤️Prioritizing quality sleep restores energy and enhances mood.
❤️Nourishing your body with healthy, supportive foods fuels your vitality and resilience.
This is the path. Life is short. It takes practice to choose yourself.
Remember, self-care isn’t selfish. By investing in yourself, you reclaim your power and create a life filled with vitality and joy.
Let’s embark on this transformative journey together.
If you have been advocating for others your whole life and need support and encouragement advocating for yourself - I am here to help. Reach out for a free 30 minute Wellness Strategy call to discuss the changes you want to make and how health coaching can get you there.

Why I don’t promote myself as a weight loss coac

Why I don’t promote myself as a weight loss coach and what I think people should be focusing on instead.
Are you tired of the scale dictating your worth? It’s time to shift the focus away from numbers and onto what truly matters. Start by embracing these three pillars for lasting change:
1️⃣Balanced Blood Sugar: Say goodbye to energy crashes, hormonal imbalances, and mood swings! Balancing your blood sugar levels not only supports stable energy throughout the day but also helps regulate your mood, digestion, and keeps you feeling balanced, satiated, and focused.
2️⃣Build Muscle: It’s not just about looking toned; building muscle is key for revving up your metabolism and regulating hormones. More muscle means more calories burned, even at rest, and better hormone balance for overall well-being.
3️⃣Manage Stress: Stress isn’t just in your head; it affects your body on a cellular level. Chronic stress can wreak havoc on your hormones, leading to weight gain and stubborn fat storage, especially around the belly. Take back control of your health by learning to manage stress effectively and supporting a healthier hormonal balance.
Ditch the scale, restrictive eating, and calorie counting and dive into the roots of your weight struggles. Ready to reclaim your health? Reach out for a free 30-minute Wellness Strategy call or grab your free holistic health guide from my website: myalchemy.life/free-holistic-health-guide. Let’s embark on this journey to holistic wellness together!

Did you know that stress and gut health are closel

Did you know that stress and gut health are closely intertwined?
Chronic stress can disrupt the balance of bacteria in your gut, leading to inflammation and digestive issues. This, in turn, can impact hormone regulation, affecting everything from mood to metabolism. 
Boosting your gut health is not hard! Focusing on increasing your fiber and managing your stress are great places to start. 
Help fight stress and bring your body into balance with these easy tactics: 
1️⃣ Mindful Breathing: Take a few moments each day to practice deep breathing exercises. This can help activate your body’s relaxation response, reducing stress hormones like cortisol.
2️⃣ Mindful Movement: Engage in activities like yoga or tai chi that focus on gentle movements and breath awareness. These practices reduce stress and promote healthy digestion.
3️⃣ Meditation: Dedicate just a few minutes each day to quiet your mind and focus on the present moment. Studies show that meditation can lower stress levels and improve gut health over time.
Fiber feeds the healthy bacteria in your gut helping you break down and assimilate the food you eat. It also helps your body metabolize and remove any unused hormones your body produces. Eating high-fiber foods are essential for maintaining gut health and promoting hormone balance.
Consider eating more of these foods:
🍓 Berries: Bursting with fiber and antioxidants, berries support healthy digestion and contribute to hormonal balance.
🥦Cruciferous Vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts) : Packed with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, broccoli supports healthy digestion and hormone metabolism.
🥑 Avocado: Not only are avocados rich in fiber, but they also contain healthy fats that support gut health and hormone production.
Remember, a balanced gut and reducing your stress equals balanced hormones! If you want to learn more about holistic hormone health reach out for a free Health Strategy Session or join my upcoming hormone health workshop at Pleasure Point Yoga this weekend, April 6th, and let’s thrive from the inside out together! 🌟

Discover the secrets to balancing your hormones an

Discover the secrets to balancing your hormones and unlocking vitality from within by nourishing your body with the right foods! Did you know that what you eat plays a pivotal role in hormone metabolism and balance?
Foster balance from the inside out with these hormone-balancing superfoods:
🥦 Cruciferous Vegetables: Incorporate top choices like broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower to aid in estrogen metabolism and keep hormonal levels in check.
💙 Berries: Indulge in antioxidant-rich blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries to combat oxidative stress and ensure smooth hormonal function.
🐟 Fatty Cold-Water Fish: Boost hormone synthesis and reduce inflammation with top picks like salmon, mackerel, sardines, and trout, rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
🥑 Healthy Fats: Nourish your body with avocado, nuts (such as almonds and walnuts), seeds (like flaxseeds and chia seeds), and olive oil, essential for hormone production and absorption.
Pair these hormone-loving foods with stress management techniques like meditation or deep breathing and movement practices such as yoga or tai chi to maximize their benefits.

If looking like a snack isn’t a big enough motiv

If looking like a snack isn’t a big enough motivator to add weights to your routine, I invite you to dive a bit deeper into the holistic benefits of having strong muscles. 💪
While the aesthetic appeal is certainly a plus, the holistic advantages of weightlifting extend far beyond appearances. From enhanced bone density to improved mental clarity, there’s a wealth of reasons to embrace resistance training.
5 ways lifting weights is good for you besides looking like a snack:
1. Boosted Bone Density: Weightlifting isn’t just about building muscles; it’s about strengthening your bones too! As we age, maintaining bone density becomes crucial for overall health and mobility.
2. Enhanced Cognitive Function: Ever heard of a mind-muscle connection? Turns out, lifting weights doesn’t just pump up your biceps—it boosts brainpower too! Say hello to sharper focus and improved memory.
3. Stress Hormone Regulation: Feeling overwhelmed? Hit the weights! Resistance training helps regulate stress hormones like cortisol, leaving you feeling calmer and more balanced.
4. Revved-up Metabolism: Say goodbye to sluggishness and hello to a fired-up metabolism! Lifting weights not only torches calories during your workout but also revs up your metabolic rate long after you’ve left the gym.
5. Mind-Body Connection: Weightlifting goes beyond building muscle—it strengthens the bond between your mind and body. By tuning into your body’s movements and sensations, you cultivate mindfulness and presence, leading to a deeper understanding of yourself and your capabilities.
Ready to bring more mind-body balance into your life? Reach out for a clarity call and discover how holistic health coaching can support your wellness journey. Let’s lift each other up! 💫
