This is probably really obvious to most of you, but I wanted to make it super clear, thanks to prompting by @Charles Fielder that nothing in this group is replacement for medical advice. If you have any questions or concerns about your personal health conditions, make sure to reach out to a trusted medical, psychological, or natural health provider. In this group, we share our experiences and talk about various best practices for releasing excess weight, supporting mental and emotional health, living a life of health and vitality, etc. You are welcome to try things and do whatever you want with the information here. This also applies to Group Coaching and Individual Coaching. None of this is a replacement for medical advice, and anything you try or experiment with, you do this on your own volition, and you take full responsibility for your experiments and your results. Sound good? When you’ve read this, please comment below with, “Got it,”or “I understand,” or something along those lines.

What about for this week? Do you have one thing, or is it 2-3? Either way is fine. Would love to hear what your focus is for today and for this week! Asking yourself this question regularly can help you get clarity around your next steps, and keep you on track. Asking myself this question often helps keep me focused and prevents overwhelm. My most important thing this week is getting ready for our trip to Bulgaria. I’m excited to connect with family I haven’t seen in over 8 years! All meetings are off the calendar. Other priorities can wait. My focus is on packing, cleaning the house so we don’t come back to a pig sty, getting animals ready for caretaker, etc.

EDIT: I had a powerful experience while on a walk after I posted this and it lead me to identifying 2 new types of hunger that have played a powerful impact on my life and I had been confusing it with Emotional Hunger. The reason I wanted to identify each of these is because they 1) each present differently and 2) have different needs that they meet. Some of the solutions may be the same as others but there are distinct differences that I feel are important. DM me if you are interested and I can email you the newest version as I keep making updates as I am learning. Original Post: Wow. This community sure has grown!!! I believe I was the first or second member and I haven't checked in for a while. I spoke with Vasi about a program that I have been working on and she encouraged me to share some information here. I created this brief introduction page to my program. I call it Metabolic Rehab; The Feasting/Fasting Method. I believe that a lot of the problems that people have with food and weight stem back to not recognizing hunger. I started developing a theory years ago that seems to have proven true through my experience and work. I am an addiction counselor and I see similarities with my clients to what I experienced trying to heal my metabolism. Then Dr. Jason Fung published his book The Hunger Code which I read as soon as it came out in March 2026 to see if it validated my experience. He shared his idea that there are 3 types of hunger. My experience identified 6; his first three types seem insufficient to what else I see going on so I started to create my program. This is the briefest introduction to what I plan to cover in my program. I plan to introduce each type, provide strategies to help people identify each type and eliminate some so that they don't have to fight hunger and cravings. After all, if we aren't hungry... it's easy to say no.

So I never stop raving on about this incredibly delicious and amazing matcha that has replaced my morning coffee and massively improved my days energy wise, concentration wise and it helps to stop feeling so snackish. Its ceremonial matcha with 10g protein, a superfood blend with 21 vitamins and minerals, lions mane, marine collagen and not to mention is absolutely delicious!!! I’ve recently just ordered the blueberry one and that’s is so nice over ice!! Any other matcha lovers here? 💚💚
