MIND, BODY & SOUL

Do you feel tired even when you get enough sleep?  Do you need coffee to get going in the morning?  Crave carbs especially sweets?  Do you feel tired and wired?  Are you stressed out?  These are just a few of the symptoms of metabolic chaos (adrenal dysfunction) not to mention all the hidden stressors no one thinks about such as gut issues, food sensitivities,  endocrine disruptors (lotions, plastics etc), skin issues, hormone imbalances, weight gain to name a few.    Considering that the stress hormone (cortisol) is needed to survive, it’s no surprise that the body will push hormones down that pathway and not to the sex hormones (estrogen, testosterone, progesterone), as reproduction is not necessary for survival.  This will keep you alive; it just won’t have you feeling your best.   Well…there is help!!    I see this far too often and it has become the new “normal” so to speak.  For most people, they just think thi...

In the beginning of September I decided to be in a 30 day online challenge group for  Body Beast  and  Shakeology .  I had never been in a challenge group before so I wanted to have that experience, plus it looked like fun!  At first I was a little nervous and overwhelmed because as part of this challenge group we were to post a daily picture of our shakeology, one of our meals,  which workout we did and a sweaty post workout selfie.  Eek…I never take selfies much less pictures!  Then there was the fear of everyone seeing it that wasn’t in the group.

When life hands you lemons you have a choice to either get sucked up in the bitterness of it or to make lemonade....well that is how this year has been for me and it is not easy to "make lemonade" when things are not going so well!    The one thing that has kept me balanced and feeling great is  drinking my Shakeology every day.  No matter how bad my diet was that day I at least know I had the “healthiest meal of the day” with Shakeology.  It also has adaptagons in it to help stress and adrenal fatigue which is so important these days.  Not to mention the pre and probiotics and all the superfoods.  There is no other shake like it!   And….it tastes great with just water!  Can’t beat that.   Here is the scoop on it:   There are a lot of shakes and juices out there, but so far the reviews on this one push it to the top of the list! In one shake is $41 worth of food/vegetables/vitamins/superfoods rolled into a shake cos...
