We have a metabolism crisis — not a “diet” problem
What percentage of the North American population is metabolically damaged? 93%? 97%? The Truth is both 93% and 97% are numbers that have been reported, but they come from different studies and different definitions of “metabolically healthy. 93% is the most accepted current figure in mainstream "Medical Model" research. This is where the body is looked at as separate "parts" and treating the "symptom" If the part is not working, take it out, burn it off, cover it up with medications. The 97% number is used by functional health experts, Integrative Health Specialists, Clinical Nutritionists, (the Wholistic Model where the body is seen as a whole working together, treating the Cause, not just a series of symptoms) who include more extensive liver health, insulin resistance, and inflammatory markers. When we check deeper markers like- - Insulin (not routine for many doctors) - A1C - High-sensitivity CRP - ALT (fatty liver) - RT3 - Visceral fat - Chronic stress/cortisol load …the population quickly falls into the 95%+ metabolically struggling category. You don't want to hear from your Doctor that you're "Normal" or even worse "Normal for your Age" Would You prefer to be Normal or Optimal?

I want to be the best version of me. It's frustrating when you're "doing the right things " for your health which has been working....and suddenly it doesn't. More research and changes needed. Thank goodness I'm semi retired!!

@Rheece Hartte Reality is, our bodies are ever changing. Guess the needs are different.
Who are you becoming ?
We coach women who want more out of their bodies… not just smaller numbers, but bigger lives. This work isn’t just about muscles or macros. It’s about resilience. Confidence. Choosing your health like it matters… because it does. In fitness, some days are heavy lifts. Some days are deep stretches. And both are necessary. If you’re learning to hold your boundaries, breathe through stress, fuel your body differently, or show up consistently … you’re building strength. Not just physically… but in every area of your life. Your transformation is not only what we see. It’s who you’re becoming. Let’s keep building. 🖤💪

I love this reminder!
The Spider Web of Profits
A lot of "learning" seems to be unlearning the B.S. (Bad Science) we've been fed by big companies with dollars and shareholder focus as their primary driving initiatives rather than healthy potential outcomes for all of Life and our Lives in general. Big Ag, Big Pharma, Big Food, Big Energy, Big Finance, Big Insurance/Managed care, Big Media (movies, ads, news) , Big Tech. BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street have the largest share of ALL of these Sectors. They’re like the giant spider in the middle of the web - they don’t usually run the companies directly, but they own big chunks of almost all of them and quietly shape the whole system. It's a closed System and guess who is the "Consumer". So while each industry looks separate, the same three shareholders are often sitting near the top of the shareholder list across them all. This means- - Profit from ultra-processed foods leading to - Profit from diabetes or ("pick your disease") drugs leading to - Profit from medical devices/surgery/hospitalization leading to - Profit from ad-driven tech platforms that help market all of it leading to - Insurance profits leading to.......the list goes on. Different “Bigs,” same ultimate financial beneficiaries. Until we take back control of our Health personally, We are the Product being sold. We take control of our Health & Lives by voting with our purchasing dollars. What's one Action or purchase that you could drop this week that you know is not supporting your Health? What's one Action or purchase that you could take this week that totally supports your Health?

@LeahAnn Pedersen This is what I taught my kids when they were younger. This Mama's proud when she see's her adult children still doing this.

Osteoarthritis.....Inflammation?
Osteoarthritis. Not really digging it at all!!! I keep hearing " there's inflammation". I always thought it was from general body abuse from playing too hard in my younger years. Any tips on how to tame this beast a bit?
