Do you rely on exercise to keep your metabolism going?

Exercise is a fantastic tool for strength and for connecting with our body, for getting outside and clearing our minds.

But if we're reliant on exercise in order for our metabolism to work, we're setting ourselves up for failure.

I talk to women all the time who say, if I could just run again, I would lose these 15 pounds. If I could just get back to my high-intensity workouts, everything would be fine. But because of injury or illness or no time in their life, they've lost connection to those workouts, as a result, their body starts to show them signs.

Now they took these signs to mean their metabolism tanked after they stopped exercising, but what if there's another reality?

Our beliefs establish huge patterns in our body and our body has an innate template for perfection in action, but over time and through life, we develop beliefs that external forces are the reason we will like or not like what we like in the...

If 15 years ago me could be given what I know now, the things that I could have avoided experiencing would be so profound.

I had signs of Lupus, and Hashimoto's, incredible fatigue, which limited my cognitive ability and my ability to grow. So, even if I could function remarkably well day to day, I wasn't growing!  I had low libido, had been to the ER numerous times with terrible migraines, PMS, cramping, extremely heavy cycles, was cranky, angry, and snappish at my kids, lacked empathy for my husband, couldn't set boundaries and really ask for what I needed and was basing my success as a woman on how many things I could muscle my way through in a day while feeling victimized by the process.

These were all things that I was “living” with in my 30's. The list is awful when actually written out, but externally, I was calm, put together, I worked, cooked, and contributed to the world.

It was all cloaked under a veneer of doing because it didn't feel like it was...

One of the things that has to happen in sustainable healing, is the healing has to do more than change symptoms.

We have to get into a state of absolute relationship with our body to the point where we can honestly truly say, “I 100% trust my body, I no longer feel like I need to control it.”

To get here, we must arrive at a place where we no longer control food, we no longer force our body to behave with exercise, we no longer swallow supplements out of panic, fear or propaganda.

We have to be to look at us in the mirror, and say: “I can honestly say, I love you so much and I trust you empirically.”

The thing is, we have this beautiful divine template, we were all born with a set of instructions encoded deep within our cells which speaks forward the absolute perfect presentation of who we are.

It is only us that gets in the way of that.

Along the way in response to insults, injuries, emotional traumas, and physical traumas, we develop a...

People always want to know...how fast can I get this weight off?

But the real question is….

Are you healthy enough to lose fat?  Have you strengthened your awareness and body systems to the point where the release of all that stored energy and emotion is something your body knows it is safe to do?

Is the body consistently warm, including hands, feet and nose?  Waking temps around 97.8 F. degrees and midday around 98.6 F. (37 C) plus?  Is food making you warmer NOT cooler?

Are you sleeping through the night?

Good energy all day?

Consistent bowel movements?  1-3 a day.

Do you have a desire for sex?

Can you think clearly throughout the day?

Lack of PMS symptoms and a regular menstrual cycle?

Lack of severe menopausal symptoms?

Ability to regulate blood sugar throughout the day?

Can you handle stress well?  Are you happy? A low-stress threshold and unhappiness are unsupportive to healthy fat loss.

Are you able to workout without a drop in temp and pulse?

Case Study: Shaun

Shaun came to us with fatigue and anxiety, she had to talk herself into her day most days, and while she was amazing at presenting to the world as having it all together, much of that was because she learned to hide her internal conversations quite well.

Shaun worked with us in our 20-week program and experienced: 

     *Release of anxiety: no more convincing herself to get out of bed!
Great improvements in energy AND she learned how to advocate even more for the things which feed her!
     *Sleep: amazing
     *Digestion: great
     *Food: Shaun had always just ate what she grabbed, with us, she learned to love being present with her food and really expanding into fueling herself.
     *Weight: she released extra pounds without even thinking about it.
     *Joy: She finds she is loving life, joyful, playing at what she wants to and has structured her life around what she is...

There's a quote by Candace Pert, author of Molecules of emotion that says:
“Body and mind are one, the body is the actual outward manifestation in a physical space of the mind”

Really powerful words, especially when we start to contemplate how that relates to us.

If I am exhausted, if I'm tired, if I'm carrying extra weight, if I have headaches, digestive problems, low libido, thyroid issues, adrenal issues, autoimmune issues, heart disease, arterial plaque, diabetes, we've been taught to contemplate those as isolated events associated with one organ, one system.

Which is why we rabidly dive into dietary plans, be they autoimmune or super restrictive for weight loss. We dive into supplements...this one has been said to lower Leptin levels, this one adjusts blood sugar, this one is a master life-altering antioxidant.

Or we dive into visualization….visualizing ourselves healed….but we never change the patterns to allow it to be so.
Rarely do we take...

One way we could personify stress is separation. Which is of course why it can't just be regarded as a hormonal or biological mechanism because it is so much more than that.

As with most events inside of our bodies, stress is not just physical. Now you may be thinking, oh, it's mental and it's emotional and the answer is yes, but.

It is the accumulation of event after event after event where we get separated from our powerful self, our true self, our magnanimous our vibrant, our beautiful, amazing, truthful self.

Now, that separation comes in such sneaky ways. It is emotional and mental separation and physical all at one time.

This is the dynamic key to healing, because in the world of healing it is being compartmentalized by the mind of the healer as to which one of those they're most akin to trying to solve.

So to one, it is an adrenal problem, to another, a vitamin issue, yet another, a gut issue, and then to another, it is the wounds of your childhood, the traumas.

Someone pointed out to me how seriously we take our cell phones, how we will rabidly search for a charger the minute we get a 15% battery life warning.

It becomes our first priority.

So the curiosity is, we've all been there, yet we don't apply the same principles to our body. We don't pay attention to the 15% warning lights.

Those warning lights of:

Feeling tired consistently, remarking to yourself, God, I'm exhausted

Headaches

Joint pain

Gut issues

Not tolerating foods anymore

Being bitchy

Having difficult cycles

Having terrible PMS

Having a horrible time in menopause

Lack of libido

Poor sleep quality

Feeling depressed

Feeling anxious

Having a foggy mind

Hormonal problems

These are all the 15% warning messages from your body. And yet we treat them like they're just a nuisance from a stupid system that can't possibly know what it's doing.

We take painkillers, we take antidepressants, we try fad diets thinking that's gotta be it, it's just...
