Good morning, beautiful people. Let´s welcome 2 fitness gurus that joined this community: 🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃 @Kat Oakley from PhatKat Fitness and @Stephen Mooney from The Hard Way Fitness 🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃 We are in the middle of our May Challenge to tacke with the Insulin Resistance. In today´s live call we will talk about the steps we have to take in order to lower our insulin levels. (Check the calendar) And, surprise, surprise!!! One of these steps is to move our ass! Training our muscles is as important as what we eat! So, let´s internalize this and move and train and be healthy! See you later on the live call! And @Kat Oakley and @Stephen Mooney , say HI don´t be shy! So happy to have you here!

Today we celebrate Mother´s Day here in Spain (we celebrate it the first Sunday in the month of May). So I´ve got my presents - these lovely flowers that I will plant today - so today I will be working in my garden a lot (tomatoes to be raised, we have to prune some trees and plant some more herbs). I hope you all have a beautiful Sunday and share some photos to see what you are up to :))

Good morning, beautiful people and I hope you have a gorgeous Monday! May will be a month where we will talk a lot about insulin and about insulin resistance. And we will talk about all the key things we could implement to fix the insulin resistance. We will take it step by step. Don´t worry, everything will remain posted in the Classroom and you can get back to it whenever you feel like it. This is what we will do, step by step: 📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝 1️⃣Assessment: you will take a quiz to see if you have insulin sensitivity (or resistance) - as soon as you can. 2️⃣Note down your score. You can publish it here as a comment if you want or make a post of your own under Challenges. - until the end of this week 3️⃣Implement lifestyle changes (at least one a week) to start tackling your insulin issues throughout the month of May. 📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝 Let´s go! We can do this!

So cool that May 1st in on a Friday, right? I hope you all have a great weekend 🌟🌟🌟 🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢 Key things that will happen this weekend: - we will wrap up the April Gut GlowUp Challenge and those of you who took the quiz at the beginning will take the quiz again to compare results - we will start to prepare for May Challenge (Insulin Sensitivy) - on Sunday we will have our Sunday Story (I know I´m writing too long for these but bear with me, they are Beautiful Science and you could go back to them whenever you want) - 🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢 In the morning I lift some weights or I do squats with a 12kg kettle bell. And I have to have music on :)) This is my motivational music for today´s session. Have you moved a little bit today? What have you done?

. We’ve talked about Ozempic (Semaglutide) and how it’s considered the "miracle" weight loss drug (works by mimicking a hormone in your gut called GLP-1). This hormone tells your brain you’re full, slows down digestion, and stabilizes blood sugar. But it comes with a high price tag and a long list of potential side effects (nausea, muscle loss, "Ozempic face"). 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 But DID YOU KNOW that Yerba Mate is doing the same thing but better? 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 Recent studies show that Yerba Mate is one of the few natural substances that significantly increases your body's own GLP-1 production. IT IS SIMILAR BECAUSE: - Yerba Mate stimulates GLP-1 release, which naturally blunts hunger and helps you feel satisfied longer. - It promotes "thermogenesis" (fat burning) and increases fat oxidation during exercise. - It improves insulin sensitivity, helping you avoid those energy crashes that lead to sugar cravings. IT IS DIFFERENT (AND HEALTHIER) BECAUSE: - While Ozempic is a single synthetic molecule, Yerba Mate contains 24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids, and more antioxidants than green tea. - It contains a "holy trinity" of stimulants: caffeine, theobromine (the "feel-good" molecule in chocolate), and theophylline. This gives you laser focus without the coffee jitters or the "medicated" fatigue. - Unlike rapid weight loss drugs that can lead to muscle wasting, Yerba Mate supports physical performance and recovery, making it a favorite for athletes. - Interestingly, studies have shown Yerba Mate can actually increase bone mineral density - something most weight loss tools can't claim. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 Yerba Mate isn't a "magic pill" that will work as overnight as a prescription drug, but it is a metabolic tool that works with your biology instead of overriding it. Let´s say it more of a "nudge" that a "shove". 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 How to use it: Drink it traditional style (hot) or as an iced tea in the morning or before a workout to maximize the fat-burning and appetite-curbing effects. (Obviously, no sugar or sweetners added)
