🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It is an honor to equip others with the knowledge to change their health and their lives!

The pillars of belief I operate within at WELL with Jules:

♦ The human body is fearfully and wonderfully made, 𝓅𝑒𝓇𝒻𝑒𝒸𝓉𝓁𝓎 designed and ordered in both form and function.⁣
⁣
♦ Each person has the responsibility of 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩, that they may be whole, well and fit to fulfill their life’s purpose.⁣
⁣
♦ Health is a mindset – a way of living that does not require perfection, but consistent and 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.⁣
⁣
♦ Health is 𝒻𝓁𝓊𝒾𝒹 – the needs of each body grow and change with the seasons of life. ⁣
⁣
♦ Living in health includes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴.⁣

I think more people would be willing to work with health practitioners if they knew exactly what’s expected of them. I get it - it’s overwhelming. You’re already dealing with physical pain and discomfort; how much more can you handle on your plate?⁣
⁣
♡ Let me 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 you:⁣
⁣
Your practitioner’s job is to get in the weeds so you don’t have to. They’ll provide a clear and concise plan for your healing journey and will walk with you 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱 of the way⁣
⁣
However, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐛𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫.⁣
•⁣
The truth is that for as long as it took for your body to end-up in a tangle of dysfunction, it can take that long to get out of it.⁣
⁣
🔑 But there are a few keys to make the journey easier:⁣
⁣
🧠𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 - the kind that says, “I’m willing to sacrifice what I want now for what’s important to me long-term.”⁣
⁣
🗓️ 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 - Fail to plan, plan to fail. You can’t rely on things to work themselves out or happen by happy accident. Take the time to do a little planning now and you’ll save a lot of time later (which means more time for the self-care you deserve, time with loved ones, etc.) ⁣
⁣
🚘 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 - “Zombie mode” deactivated. You are no longer a victim. You’re in the driver’s seat and every action will have a reaction/consequence. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐎𝗪𝐄𝐑 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞.⁣
⁣
Don’t let life happen TO you, friend.⁣
𝐁𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭.⁣
•⁣
If you need help getting there because the way seems unclear, reach out to a health practitioner who will champion you. ⁣

You are the authority on 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩.⁣
⁣
If your gut is telling you something’s not right, don’t settle. Continue to search for answers until you find them. ⁣
⁣
♦⁣
⁣
Not sure how to find a health professional that fits your needs? ⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐢𝐩: The best ones are the ones who will 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐍; who are interested in your story, not just your symptoms.
⁣
Team-up with professionals who will do some digging and get to the root cause of that something “not right”. ⁣
⁣
♦⁣
⁣
You know your body like no one else does.⁣

How many times does the statement “I am” precede dietary habits/preferences?⁣
⁣
I am: gluten free⁣
I am: dairy free⁣
I am: keto⁣
⁣
✧ Food is a 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥 - not our 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘺. ⁣
⁣
These statements give power to the tool instead of the person. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘦𝘢𝘵. Whatever your dietary choices are, remember that they are only part of how you choose to support your health. ⁣
⁣
When we give that power away, we are building borders that tell us, “I am bad/weak/wrong if I deviate from what I say I am.” There is no freedom in that place.⁣
⁣
It’s ok to have a preference (and 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘰𝘬 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴) but don’t let that steal your freedom by becoming your identity instead of 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞. ⁣
⁣
I encourage you to rethink the words you choose when speaking about food/dietary choices. Instead of “I am”, try “I choose”.⁣
⁣
You can choose to not eat _____ because of x,y,z, but don’t let that hinder you from making choices that nourish your spirit.⁣
⁣

What I am statement are you letting go of and what I am statement are you picking up?

I’m just going to say that again:⁣
⁣
🔈CHRONICALLY UNDER-EATING IS NOT THE ANSWER.⁣
⁣
If your body is resistant to weight loss, there’s a reason, and whatever the reason, your body’s response is, “It’s not safe to lose weight.”
⁣
If you’ve been around here long enough, you’ll know my favorite question is “𝐖𝐇𝐘?”⁣
⁣
Too often we assume our bodies aren’t doing x because of y, but most of the time those “y”s are the consequences of some deeper dysfunction.⁣
⁣
We get caught up on fixing 𝘴𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘴 when we must look to the 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. ⁣
⁣
What do I mean?⁣
“I’m overweight and can’t loose any fat. I keep eating less but the scale doesn’t budge. I exercise more (and eat less) and still no change. It must be because of my hormones.”⁣
⁣
🚨𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 “𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦”. ⁣

We must look (𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐫) to the foundational functions and processes that affect hormone health - digestion, hydration stress, sleep, movement, and (the biggest factor) DIET.⁣

✧⁣

Never underestimate the innate wisdom of the body - no part of it works in isolation. It’s so easy for us to get hung up on one aspect of our health, but there’s a much larger picture we need to be looking at - clients, patients, practitioners and healthcare providers alike. ⁣
⁣
This is called a 𝒽𝑜𝓁𝒾𝓈𝓉𝒾𝒸 𝓁𝑒𝓃𝓈 and it’s the one that 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝓀𝓈. ⁣ It’s the one that reflects the natural and perfect design of the body.⁣

✧⁣

The good news is that you don’t have to have it all figured out. If you have concerns that aren’t getting better no matter what you do, reach out to a practitioner who can help. Having someone to support you is the best way to succeed.⁣

I’ll be sharing “Why Nutrition Matters” at the PRCD Moms’ Group tomorrow. 🩷

FREE to anyone who is interested. Littles welcome 🫶🏻

Circumstances change.
Bodies change.
Needs shift.
People grow.

Measuring nutrition on a scale of “all or nothing” isn’t realistic and often leads to discouragement and sometimes abandoning our efforts altogether.

Life is unpredictable and ever-changing, and adaptability is our greatest strength.

By applying a mindset of adaptability to our nutrition, we’ll find sustainability, which is a much more realistic and satisfying goal than perfection.

Try using a scale of:

GOOD - 𝘉𝘌𝘛𝘛𝘌𝘙 - 𝓑𝓔𝓢𝓣

Because when it comes to food, it won’t be “best” every time and that’s ok. “Good” is still a step in the right direction. A lot of repeated “goods” add up.

🖤
