Does this happen to you?
What do you do when a pet, partner, or kiddos disrupt your sleep? It's (usually) easier to keep a pet out of the bedroom than a partner, but if you face snoring, different sleep schedules, early-rising little ones, pets jumping, barking, or meowing.... how do you deal? I'd love to hear your ideas! Share in the Comments. (asking for a friend.... 😉)

We sleep in separate rooms because his oxygen machine is really loud. I make a point for us to visit and talk when I first wake up. My challenge is my night owl 12 year old son. He is really energized and social right when I want to go to bed.
Happy Independence Day (U.S. and Canada)
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! Our fireworks were cancelled tonight because of the thunderstorms, but we're heading out for dinner now with our neighbors. What are you up to this weekend?

@Amy Joy I'm glad you got to have fun with people you enjoy!
Let's do this! 🙌
I'm reading the room and seeing the struggles. You don't need an infographic or a PDF checklist. You need clear direction on what's going to help you and then how to get it done. The accountability, tools and resources to help you see real progress and make it stick. I'll be there every step of the way with you -- get my eyeballs and my brain on YOUR situation. Let's figure it out together. Seriously, sleep is where everything starts. Join me for the LIVE Rest & Recharge program. In just 4 weeks, start waking up more energized and staying steady all day. (special rate for Skool members only, ends Sunday July 5th 11:59pm) Check it out here ==> https://amyjoyhealth.com/rest-recharge-skool

If you struggle with rest, this is a great place to start. No getting enough rest increases your risk of cardiac issues, as well as many chronic diseases. Worth solving! Amy has such an easy-to-implement methodology that you will be on your way to healing in no time!
Gut balance
Happy Monday! For anyone who did The Gut Reset last week, how are you feeling? Please share one thing you noticed. I'd love to hear if anything shifted for you!

Yesterday I reached for walnuts instead of a starchy snack. Slowly imprinting the shifts.
Day 4, Your Microbiome Wants Variety
Your microbiome is not a problem to fix. You have trillions of bacteria living in your gut right now. They outnumber your human cells. They influence your mood, your immune system, your hormones, and your energy levels. Think of your microbiome less like a machine and more like a garden. Gardens don't need to be fixed. They need to be tended. The more variety you feed it, the more different strains can thrive and do their jobs. Most of us have been trying to "fix" our gut by eliminating things — but the research on microbiome diversity says the more powerful move is to add variety first. Today's one action: add one thing. One fermented food (yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi) or one new plant food you don't normally eat. Bonus if you want to go deeper: at one meal today, put your fork down between bites and chew each bite thoroughly before swallowing. Digestion starts in your mouth. Saliva contains enzymes that begin breaking down food before it ever reaches your stomach. When we eat fast, we skip that step entirely. Everything is in your Workbook, head there to record your actions and complete your tracker. Then drop a 🥣 below and tell us what you added today. Bonus points if it's something you'd never normally eat.

@Jessica Fish I am a registered nurse and have been studying food as medicine for over two decades. This information matches both Western and Eastern science and the diets of the longest living populations. It is frustrating how conflicting the information is out there, I agree. Here is a part that few are willing to say: Our bodies have diversity. We come from different parts of the world. Depending on genetics, culture, personal life stage, medical history, and goals, the food prescription may be different. That is why Dieticians are a licensed profession with at least a master's degree. It is also the source of the conflict. There is no true "one size fits all" eating plan. What Amy is teaching in this challenge is to try out foods that are generally agreed as helpful for gut health, and reducing processed food. Testing out a few at a time and tracking how it feels for YOUR body. Over time, using this strategy, you can develop a list that works for you. Gut health affects a lot, but not all, hormones. It also influences body wide inflammation (there are other sources as well). Hopefully this clears up some of the confusion.

@Jessica Fish that is a lot to tackle! The hormone systems all interact, and so it is no surprise that you are now noticing the next layer. All groups will have their own "prescription" and some may be total opposites. It is not hard to get lost or frustrated. My own professional opinion is that Amy has a good strategy for a simple step by step process to get your system back on track. She has tried it on herself first! We are both here for you if you need support or guidance. Just remember that your system didn't get off balance in a single year, and so it may take a bit to get things into balance.
