I wanted to share a podcast for those who struggle with emotional or binge eating. As a recovering binger, I thought this was really quite good. "Food issues" are WAY more common that we like to admit, and I hate that there's so much shame around these topics. (I've been there! It sucks!) On that note, I am looking to evolve my Better Beyond 40 Formula program to address these kinds of things head on (on top of offering all the hormone and metabolic supportive tactics), as they can really get in the way on our paths to success... So right now, I'm working hard to bring on a new member of the team who is deeply trained in coaching & mindset in general, and not just relating to food - someone who can provide you with even more support towards reaching your goals, whether you're struggling with food, motivation, family, priorities, etc. Stay tuned! More info coming soon...If you've been thinking about joining but afraid you'll get in your own way, this is for you.

Anyone know if this is a helpful tool to understand our hormones? https://www.instagram.com/p/DKIjMkmA5aC/?igsh=MWtlZTg3dXl0aGQ0MQ==

Does anyone have an in body or body composition scale they'd recommend? Pros and cons, please, vs. Dexascan, if you have tried that?

If you have kids and they eat cereal, check this out: Moms Across America and others supported independent testing of major cereals for levels of the carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting herbicide, glyphosate: https://www.momsacrossamerica.com/cereal_test_results "The findings raise serious concerns about contamination in the food supply and highlight the urgent need for stronger regulations, accountability, increased testing, and a global ban on the carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting herbicide, glyphosate." Key findings: - Organic isn't necessarily better, sadly, for a variety of reasons (discussed in article). - Over 90% of popular American cereal brands tested positive for glyphosate residue - 6 out of 7 certified organic US cereal samples tested positive for glyphosate - Organic cereals Kashi and Cascadian Farms, had the highest levels of glyphosate, up to 235x the level that caused harm in lab studies - Breakfast cereals with the highest levels are owned by Kellogg’s and General Mills - Glyphosate use and lack of nutrients result in over-fortification of cereals with iron *Cereal ratings - worst to best:* Glyphosate Levels in U.S. Cereals: From Most to Least Contaminated 1. Kashi Cocoa Clusters Organic – 23.53 ppb 2. Cascadian Farm Honey Nut Cereal Organic – 22.05 ppb 3. Kellogg’s Fruit Loops – 13.77 ppb 4. Quaker Instant Oatmeal Cinnamon & Spice – 13.29 ppb 5. Kellogg’s Corn Flakes – 12.83 ppb 6. General Mills Honey Nut Cheerios – 11.26 ppb 7. Kashi Cinnamon Harvest Organic – 11.19 ppb 8. General Mills Cookie Crisp – 8.64 ppb 9. Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies – 7.38 ppb 10. Kellogg’s Rice Krispies – 5.32 ppb 11. GreenWise Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Organic – 3.34 ppb 12. Cascadian Farm Cinnamon Crunch Organic – 1.91 ppb 13. Nature’s Sunrise Crunchy Vanilla Organic – 1.81 ppb 14. GreenWise Corn Flakes Organic – Not Detected (ND) NOTE: This is not just an American problem. A follow-up study done in Europe showed high levels there too: https://www.momsacrossamerica.com/glyphosate_in_kids_cereals
