3 Things You Can Do To Improve Your Health Today
Can I tell you something, and let's be honest...
There’s something that I didn’t realize when I first started working with people who want to make their health and wellness a priority. People are sick of feeling less than amazing, and people are confused about who to listen to for advice...

BUT
Most of us already know a thing or two we need to be doing to improve our health and are not doing them!!
There is a lot of information (and mis-information) when it comes to the foods we eat. Just look at the variety of books in the ‘diet’ or ‘health’ section of your local bookstore. But when it comes down to it, we still know the basic things we should be doing to improve our health.
If I were to ask you, “What are three things you think you could be doing, to improve your health?” I'm almost positive I would get responses similar to these below:
1. Be more active.
2. Stop eating junk, stop drinking soda or stop smoking!
3. Eat more vegetables.
We intuitively know how to make ourselves well, but when it comes to following through, that’s where we fall apart. I know!! I have done it, too. I still do it, we are all human! I eat chips, I drink wine, and sometimes I don’t eat as well as I know I can. The most important thing to remember is that it is ok to let yourself induldge some, just know how to get yourself back on track! Follow the 80% : 20% rule!
For the next week, I’d like you to think about the obstacles that are stopping you from living your healthiest life. Think about it, journal about it, reflect on it.
What obstacles are standing in your way? Maybe you work long hours and cooking a healthy meal seems too time-consuming, or maybe you feel that the price of healthy food is too high. Perhaps you're too tired to get in a workout when you get home in the evening.
Your job for the next week is to simply think, reflect, and journal on these obstacles and come up with some ideas to knock these walls down. Knowing your obstacles, habits, and patterns will help you figure out how to work around them!!
I would love to hear your comments below. Tell me what is stopping you! Let’s work it out together! You've got this!!
Why Cleanse In The Fall?
It is a common practice to detox at least four times per year, once with every change of season. Doing this cleanses our bodies and helps to remove any toxins that exist from stress, lifestyle choices, and even environmental factors.
It is a common practice to cleanse, or detox, at least four times per year, once with every change of season. Doing a seasonal cleanse will help our bodies to remove any toxins that exist from stress, lifestyle choices, and even environmental factors.
It is no secret that our taste changes and the foods we eat change with the turn of the seasons. We go from cold, fresh fruits and vegetables to more warm and hearty meals. Completing a Fall Cleanse can help prepare your body for these changes and withdraw any toxins or build ups created from the hot summer months.
Some signals your body gives off letting you know it is time for a detox may include allergies, digestive problems, fatigue, acne or other skin issues, bad breath, bad circulation, headaches, bloating, and weight gain. By doing a simple cleanse or detox you should see immediate improvements and benefits including better sleep, more energy, improved digestion, clearer skin, weight loss, and even a reduce in cravings.
A fall cleanse will also help prepare your immune system for the exposures to come, especially with kids going back to school. Typically, a fall cleanse focuses more on the lungs and large intestine, which are important for circulation, heart health, and proper digestion.
Join us for our Fall Cleanse and fall in love with clean eating and the benefits you will see in just 14 days!!
Here are some general tips to help with your Fall Cleanse
- Try to eat primarily whole foods. We need to remove processed and refined foods from our diet and focus on clean eating.
- Check out some cleanse teas and broths to amp your progress.
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Focus on increasing water intake to flush out your systems.
- Go toxin-free with your soaps and cosmetics. Toxins are absorbed into the skin just as easily as they are consumed through your mouth.
- Lower or reduce your stress levels through meditation, yoga, or some other form of exercise.
- Reduce or eliminate alcohol from your diet.
