It's the last Sunday of November, and it’s the perfect moment for a Pre-Holiday Reset
We’re officially in that window of calm before the festive storm, and if you’ve met with me this week, you already know what I’m about to say… I’m challenging you to step it up a little. This is the week to tighten things up, get a touch more disciplined so you can enter December feeling in control and have room to enjoy all the good this holiday season has to offer! A few small habits, solid choices, and planning in advance is all you need! Let’s make this week count!
How are you locking in?
🎧 Fave podcast I listened to this week: The Truth About Insulin Resistance (Why You Need to Hear This)
Proof that Insulin resistance is reversible!!
In the latest episode of The Diary of a CEO, Steven sits down with an insulin-resistance expert who breaks down what most people don't realize: you can have “normal” blood work and still be living with chronically high insulin, and it can silently impact your weight, cravings, energy, hormones, inflammation, and long-term health. Take out the trash! I love this!
How are your Vitamin D Levels this winter?
Vitamin D is one of those supplements I almost always put clients on right away - the research is huge! Low Vitamin D is now strongly linked to stubborn weight loss, inflammation, low mood, and even early insulin resistance. It actually behaves more like a hormone, which is why it has such a huge impact on metabolism and insulin sensitivity.
I go through a lot of bloodwork, and honestly, about 8 out of 10 people are deficient, and so many are taking Vitamin D incorrectly or wasting money on forms their body doesn’t absorb. Correcting this alone can make a huge difference in how you feel. If you’re not sure about your levels or you want help choosing the right dose/brand, just ask me at your next progress visit.
Quality Matters with Vitamin D - It's Fat-Soluble!
Look for:
Oil-based formulas (healthier oils like olive or coconut oil) or take it with a meal.
D3 + K2 (MK-7) - the gold-standard combo for absorption + proper utilization
Dose should be personalized - this is why I always check bloodwork!
