Your Health and Wellness Journey Starts Here
Do you feel like you could use a little help?
Do you feel like you’re doing the right things? You’re working out, eating well, drinking your water, taking your vitamins, but still ending up tired, unfocused, and just not feeling your best?
I know the feeling, as I’ve been there myself. In fact, I’ve been through the wringer with my health and wellness journey, and I feel like I’ve tried just about everything out there at one point or another. But let’s start from the beginning.
Once upon a time…
You could probably find me on a treadmill at any given time of day, making sure I wasn’t gaining an ounce, with a protein shake on deck to follow-up. I was consumed by fitness, obsessed with my body, and completely lost on the inside.
This was about 10 years ago, and a lot has changed since then, thankfully. Back then, I was involved in fitness competitions, on the verge of disordered eating (if not already there), and about one M&M shy of a mental breakdown. I didn’t know what it was like to be healthy and live a normal life at the same time. To me, the two couldn’t exist together, and I was ok with the fact that my life would “never be normal.”
Eventually, my metabolism crashed. I spent the next several years gaining and losing the same weight over and over again, and overall just really hating my body.
Something had to change.
It took a divorce and me hitting rock bottom for me to finally let go of the rigid reigns I had on myself. In those moments, I could no longer obsess over my fitness plan or what I was eating. I had bigger things to worry about, like how I was going to pay my bills and take care of myself and my daughter.
After a very hard year of discomfort and massive internal growth, I came out on the other side healthier – not thinner or fitter – but healthier on a deeper level.
I was finally able to let go of the reigns and give my body what it needed to make it through some tough times. This sometimes meant rest when I had originally planned a workout. It meant fueling my body with nutritious foods that kept my energy levels steady. And it meant supplements that helped keep my mood elevated and my mind clear.
Did I magically morph into the same body that I had when I was competing? Absolutely not. In fact, I went on to be diagnosed with hypothyroidism and will forever have to take T3 and T4 hormones for the rest of my life.
But I did finally learn to appreciate my body in all its phases – a little fluffy, a little leaner, and everything in between.
Today, I am happy to report that I have a very happy relationship with my body. I absolutely still strive to maintain a healthy physique, but it comes from a place of loving my body rather than hating it. I also focus more on how I feel now, and make sure I’m implementing things that help keep me happy and vibrant.
My health and fitness goals today are set around:
eating foods that make me FEEL good
working out because I ENJOY it
progressing in the gym because I LOVE feeling strong
setting goals because I LIVE for the challenge
and supplementing with high quality products that help boost immunity, manage stress, and maximize energy.
Focus on the feeling.
A key part of my transformation came from my diagnosis of hypothyroidism. I was going through a phase where I was beginning to think I was depressed. I was noticing things like:
I was tired all the time
My skin was extremely dry and tired looking
I didn’t want to get out of bed many days
I was skipping out on work, or working below my potential
I was not excited or motivated about anything (which is out of the norm for me)
I was put on an antidepressant first, which I hated and quickly quit. It wasn’t for several more months until I found out I had hypothyroidism. And in that time between thinking I was depressed, and finding out my correct diagnosis – I experimented with a lot of supplements in hopes of finding my good mood again.
I later found out I had hypothyroidism, and was put on medication to rectify that. But in the meantime, I had found several things that had worked to really boost my mood, elevate my energy, and help me manage stress.
Today, I get most of my supplements from the brand I am partnered with. After years of research and trying different brands and products, these are the ones I can’t go without!
Full spectrum hemp oil with the best absorption and instant onset that helps enhance my mood, helps me focus, and keeps me calm.
Hormone and support, helps to balance estrogen, and aids in energy and muscle tone. This is my happiness in a bottle!
High-quality, daily nutrition in the form of chelated vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and probiotic. These provide the best absorption (a difference I can feel), with an added focus on inflammation and gut health.
All-natural vitamin sprays that make travel a breeze and the whole family can enjoy. The sleep spray is a favorite for all of us!
My little side-kick that helps curb appetite and provides clean energy! A lifesaver with my slower thyroid.
Something for everyone – whether you’re needing a boost in your mood, suffer from inflammation and chronic pain, need to manage stress, want to feel more energized, or want to reach some fitness goals. Click any of the photos to check out the links.
Aside from these, I also take a high-quality fish oil supplement and vitamin D.
These days, I’m feeling great! I’m healthy, I’m happy, I’m energized, and less stressed. If you’re looking to feel whole in your own life, or feel like you’re doing all the right things but coming up short, then give one or all of these a try! A good supplement can go a long way. And a healthy body and mind will take you far!
