One of the most important rules when it comes to snacks is simple: Try not to snack. What I mean by that is make sure you are eating enough at your meals. When you eat enough protein, vegetables, healthy fats, and quality carbohydrates, your blood sugar has a chance to stabilize and your body stays in a much better rhythm. If you snack all day long, your blood sugar is constantly being stimulated, which can make it harder for your body to maintain the progress you created during FAST40. That said, life happens. Travel happens. Busy days happen. So this post is for those times when you have already eaten full meals and need a healthy snack option. My Favorite FAST40-Approved Snacks - Apples - Oranges - Frozen berries - Unsweetened apple chips - Sugar-free turkey jerky - Greens Plus Bars - IQ Bars - RXBARs Companies Doing a Great Job A few companies are paying closer attention to ingredients and creating cleaner options without added sugar or artificial sweeteners. One of my favorites is Siete. Their tortillas and chips are great options when you want something cleaner. Thankfully, more companies are starting to create snack options made with real ingredients. What to Look for on the Label Just because something says “sugar-free” does not mean it is healthy. Always check the ingredients. Look for snacks with: - No added sugar - No artificial sweeteners - Real food ingredients If you had to choose, sometimes a small amount of real sugar is a better option than a product loaded with artificial sweeteners.

Hey everyone Dr Cody wanted me to share how far I've come in 179 days on the program I'm down a total of 43 lbs and 36 inches and I'm going to share my photos which is a big step for me.

Here’s something your doctor probably never told you, Every 10 years, you have a brand new skeleton. Your bones are not the static, fixed structures most people think they are. Right now, tiny specialized cells called osteoclasts are breaking down old bone tissue, while osteoblasts are building brand new bone to replace it. By the end of each year alone, about 10% of your entire skeleton has already been rebuilt. This process, called bone remodeling, is happening right now. Without a single conscious thought from you. But here’s what nobody tells you, your daily habits are either SPEEDING UP or SLOWING DOWN that rebuild. 🌙 Sleep This is when your body does its deepest repair work. Growth hormone, which drives bone building, is released primarily during deep sleep. Poor sleep = less growth hormone = slower bone renewal. Your skeleton is literally being built while you rest. 🍽️ Eating on Time Skipping meals or eating erratically spikes cortisol, your stress hormone. High cortisol tells your body to break down bone FASTER than it can rebuild it. Consistent, nourishing meals keep your hormones balanced and your osteoblasts (bone builders) working efficiently. 😮‍💨 Managing Stress Chronic stress floods your body with cortisol. Over time, this tips the scale, more bone is being torn down than built back up. That’s not aging. That’s an environmental problem. Reduce the stress, and you restore the balance. The bottom line? When you sleep well, eat consistently, and manage your stress, you are literally giving your body the conditions it needs to rebuild your skeleton on schedule. When you don’t? That 10-year rebuild gets delayed, weakened, and incomplete. That’s not your age working against you. That’s your lifestyle. Your body has everything it needs. 💪 We just have to stop getting in the way. Pass this on to someone who needs to hear it today.

It’s encouraging to see leadership stepping into the conversation around real health, especially in places like hospitals where people are meant to heal. Food is foundational. When we shift what we’re putting into the body, we shift chemistry, energy, and outcomes. Grateful to be part of a community that’s bringing awareness to this. This is how change begins—one truth at a time.
