I stopped drinking and here's why...
Before we dive into the fitness talk, I wanted to share a personal journey with you. Life has its twists and turns, and one decision I've recently made is to stop drinking. I've always been a bit of a straight-edger, and as I grew older, I realized that alcohol wasn't serving me in a positive way. So, I took the leap, and it turns out, my friends and my boyfriend were not just supportive BUT impressed by my decision. 🙌❤️
Now, let's get into the science of it all. If you're aiming to lose body fat and get stronger, alcohol might be holding you back. Your body sees alcohol as a "poison" and it prioritizes getting it out of your system, putting everything else ON HOLD. This process could take up to 72 hours. ⏳ My friend Molly Galbraith breaks it down even further in a reel about how alcohol affects women, especially as we age. Check it out here. 🎥
Molly highlights that women face higher health risks than men when it comes to alcohol consumption. With less blood to dilute alcohol, lower levels of key enzymes to metabolize alcohol, and smaller body size, even moderate drinking can increase the risk of neurodegeneration. AND it's even more critical for women in perimenopause and beyond. Watch the reel here for the full details. 🧠🚺
Now, let's talk about how we can stay on track with our fitness goals this holiday season while still savoring the festive delights you love. If you're looking to strike a balance between enjoying the season and maintaining your fitness journey, join me in the ongoing FREE Holiday Consistency Challenge! Although it officially started yesterday, fear not—it's never too late to jump in and catch the replay of the Kick-off call. Let's stay motivated and on track during this holiday season together. 🎉🎁
And I get it, the holidays are synonymous with festivities, and for many, that involves a bit of DRINKING. 👀 If you choose to indulge, here are three things you can do:
Stay Hydrated: For every cocktail, make sure to drink one glass of water. It's a simple way to stay hydrated and mindful. 💧🍸
Opt for Mocktails: Explore delicious non-alcoholic alternatives. You'll be surprised at the variety of flavors out there. 🍹🌈
Focus on the Experience: The holidays are about the people, not just the drinks. Engage in conversations, play games, and create lasting memories. 🥰👯♀️
Remember, your health journey is unique, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. Stay strong, stay motivated, and let's conquer this holiday season together! 💪🌟

BIOptimizers
Discovering the significance of Magnesium was a game-changer, especially realizing that many supplements I used weren't effective. With involvement in 600+ biochemical reactions, Magnesium is crucial, yet soil deficiencies mean 80% lack it in their diets. Even common supplements often fall short. That's where BIOptimizers' Magnesium Breakthrough steps in – offering all seven magnesium types, benefiting diverse tissues for comprehensive health advantages. After six months of personal use, I've witnessed its impact on sleep and recovery. I've referred my 1:1 clients to use it and now I am pumped to be working with them!
