Focus on The Basics

FOCUS On The Basics

Why you're still falling for detox supplements and considering doing keto again...

The basics don't seem like they'll be "enough" for you.

You need more. You're an outlier. Maybe your metabolism IS broken (it’s not).

Hey, if you suspect hormone imbalance, thyroid issues or gut dysfunction...HIRE A PROFESSIONAL.

But if you're just feeling stuck and slacking on the essentials then punting the blame to your hormones or insulin is a cop out. It sounds sexy. It gets likes on IG. But it ain’t the whole game.

Identify which area you need to step up (energy balance, NEAT, etc). Lean into that thing like it's your whole damn job. Rinse and repeat for all of the fundamentals.

PRIORITIZE...

Energy Balance

What you're eating
Hunger/satiety
How well your body absorbs nutrients

Proper Movement

NEAT (moving throughout the day)
Resistance training
NOT doing random HIIT workouts

Consistency

DON'T FORGET ABOUT...

Sleep

Affects hunger, insulin sensitivity, and hormones
Go tf to bed
Review past posts for sleep tips

Stress Management

Also affects hunger, insulin sensitivity, and hormones
Chill out every day via walks, breathwork, being outside, playing

And if you're STILL not seeing results, you can, say it with me now...
