YOU DID IT. Seven days. Seven days of showing up for yourself. Seven days of choosing your body over convenience. Seven days of proving to yourself that you can. I want you to sit with that for a moment before we talk about anything else. Because this matters. Not the perfect eating. Not the days you nailed every single habit. Not the Instagram worthy meals. The fact that you showed up. Every single day. Even the hard ones. Even the busy ones. Even the ones where you only did one thing on the list. You showed up. And that changes everything. Today's focus — Building Your Sustainable Plan. Because this is where most challenges end and most results disappear. The challenge is over but your journey isn't. And I want to make sure you leave today with something real to hold onto. Here's your Becoming Light anti-inflammatory foundation — the seven things we covered this week: 🌿 Day 1 — Remove the disruptors 🌿 Day 2 — Add the healers 🌿 Day 3 — Prioritise protein 🌿 Day 4 — Support your gut 🌿 Day 5 — Hydrate properly 🌿 Day 6 — Move with intention 🌿 Day 7 — Build what lasts You don't need to do all seven perfectly every single day. Pick your three non negotiables. The three that made the biggest difference this week.The three you can commit to showing up for consistently. Stack those three things every day. And watch what happens over 30 days. Over 60 days. Over 90 days. This is how transformation actually happens. Not in a dramatic overhaul. In three small things done consistently. Day after day after day. Drop below — what were your three biggest shifts this week? I want to read every single one.And I want to celebrate every single one. Because you just proved something to yourself this week. You are a woman who shows up. Even when it's hard. Even when life is busy.

Challenge Day 3! 🌿 You are halfway through the first half of the week and I am so proud of you for showing up. Today we talk about the one thing that makes everything else work better. Protein. I know we talk about this a lot — but today I want you to really feel why it matters. In perimenopause your body becomes less efficient at synthesising protein.Which means you need MORE — not less — just to maintain what you have. When protein is low everything suffers.Energy crashes.Cravings spike.Muscle depletes.Mood drops.Sleep suffers. Today's challenge: 🌿 Aim for 25-30 grams of protein at every meal 🌿 Add a protein source to your breakfast if you haven't already 🌿 Track what you eat today — not to judge, just to notice Simple protein additions: Two eggs — 12g Greek yoghurt — 15g Protein shake — 20g Chicken breast — 30g Lentils — 18g per cup Cottage cheese — 14g Drop below what protein wins you're having today. 💛 I'll be celebrating every single one. 🌿

You are more than halfway through and I want you to take a moment to notice something. How do you feel compared to Monday? Even small shifts count; A little less bloated? Slightly more energy? Sleeping a little deeper? Cravings feeling more manageable? This is your body responding to being nourished instead of punished. Today's focus — Gut Health. Because here's something most women in perimenopause don't know. Your gut and your hormones are in constant conversation. 70% of your serotonin is produced in your gut. Your gut bacteria directly influence how your body processes and eliminates estrogen.An inflamed gut means inflamed hormones. So healing your gut is healing your hormones. Today's challenge: 🌿 Add one fermented food — yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi 🌿 Increase your fibre — vegetables, legumes, flaxseed (I make a psyllium husk and inner calm drink every evening) 🌿 Drink an extra glass of water (especially a warm lemon water in the morning) 🌿 Consider a quality probiotic if you don't already take one (GREENS ELIXIR has you covered here!) Drop below — how are you feeling on Day 4 compared to Day 1? I want to celebrate every shift no matter how small. 💛🌿

Yesterday you removed the disruptors. Today we add the healers. This is my favourite day of the challenge because it's where we stop taking things away and start adding things in. And adding feels so much better than restricting. Today's focus — Add The Anti-Inflammatory Foods: 🌿 Dark leafy greens — spinach, kale, arugula, add in your Arbonne Greens Elixir (if you aren't already taking it) 🌿 Berries — blueberries, strawberries, raspberries 🌿 Fatty fish — salmon, sardines, mackerel 🌿 Healthy fats — avocado, olive oil, nuts and seeds 🌿 Turmeric — add it to everything with a sprinkle of pepper 🌿 Ginger — tea, smoothies, cooking 🌿 Colourful vegetables — the more colour the better Your challenge today:Add ONE anti-inflammatory food to each meal. Just one.That's it. Drop below what you're adding today — I want to celebrate every single choice. 💛 I will share mine in the comments. And remember — this is not a diet.This is you learning the language your body speaks.And responding with kindness. You are doing so well. 🌿
