Rest Day 💗

TAKING ACTION:

✅New Clients: Skip straight to the bottom of this post and check out the ⭐️ NEW CLIENT INFO! The ⭐️ NEW CLIENT INFO at the bottom of each day’s post will be your go-to this month!

✅How are you liking the Cortisol + Strength info so far? Do you need to implement more cortisol-balancing practices into your daily life?

✅ Don’t forget, we have an August group call this evening at 7pm CST/ 8pm EST!

We’re one week into our Cortisol + Strength Challenge, and I’d love to know how you’re doing so far! We’ve talked about morning tips and evening tips to help naturally balance your cortisol rhythm. As mentioned earlier in the week, we’ve also adjusted our fasting protocol, and added breathwork sessions. When you combine all of these strategies, your body will feel less stressed overall and, in turn, your cortisol will show up and complete the jobs it’s assigned. 💯

Today is a rest-and-recovery day, another critical component of balancing stress and cortisol. Chronic stress from intense exercise, overtraining, or inadequate rest can lead to persistently elevated cortisol levels, which may contribute to fatigue, muscle breakdown, weakened immunity, and other health issues. At the most fundamental level, friends, this is why rest and recovery days are critical. Take advantage of it, friends, and get ready for another great week of learning (and doing)! 🔥

⬇️⭐️NEW CLIENT INFO and TO-DO’s⭐️⬇️

Congratulations, friends—you’re one week in, and I couldn’t be more proud of you! Today, I want to talk about two important topics that will help you successfully navigate this journey in the coming days and weeks—

⭐️ In your planning + prep time today, consider what you’ll need to successfully navigate your upcoming days. Think healthy fats—healthy oils (avocado, olive, coconut), nut butters, nuts/seeds, grass-fed butter or ghee, avocado, olives, fattier fish like salmon, fattier cuts of meat like grass-fed ground beef/ground pork/ground chicken (not breast), dark meat chicken with the skin. You’ll also want to stock up on some fiber-rich foods like dark leafy greens and berries, as fiber helps lower your overall carb intake.

NEW CLIENT ACTION ITEMS:

✅Today is a rest & recovery day! We’ll talk more about rest/recovery later, but the thing you need to know today is this—rest isn’t optional. It’s mandatory, so take full advantage of it today! 👏
