What you Eat, Think and Do... Matters!

My mission is to inspire, educate and empower you to feel and look your best at any age. When you feel good, there is a ripple effect to your loved ones and community. It's contagious.  I also believe that it takes a village. This is why I love collaboration and partnerships; from collaborating with you on your personal health, to supporting people that bring positive change to the world. So over the next several days, I'm going to be sharing with you just a few of my favorite people, products and services that may help you thrive through the holidays.

People. I'm partnering with Susan Brady, Physical Therapist, Doctor of Integrative Medicine and Certified Nutritionist to bring you an exclusive online membership program. (You will get a separate invitation soon.) You've already heard about the Healthy Aging Summit that she's spent the last year creating for you. You still have two days left to listen to it for free. My interview was the first day but I also interviewed Dr. Lindsey Berkson which you can hear tomorrow on Sunday if you register today. She's the author of 22 books of which I have three of them and they've been transformational for me and my husband. Please don't miss out on getting inspired and educated this weekend!

Susan and I also put together a video on our favorite holiday recipes. Email me if you don't have them or want them.

Products. If you've worked with me for any health issues from gut issues to autoimmune disease or cancer you know about the healing power of bone broth soup. I often say, "Good, Better, Best" as a goal.

Drinking bone broth soup is good to heal the gut and nourish your mind and body. Better is to buy organic bone broth from grass fed and finished beef. Best is to make (or have it made for you) with love infused. Kettle and Fire has the best organic grass fed bone broth that can be shipped to your home and a good price and it is on sale for the next several days. Stock up for your holiday soups and see all the wonderful flavors they have for you! Sip it like a tea 2-4 times a day to heal the gut and nourish your emotions through the season. I may do a whole post for you on the benefits of bone broth. If you or a loved one are going through chemotherapy then for sure drink bone broth to protect and rebuild the gut lining. Bone broth is great for joint pain or autoimmune issues too.

What good is it to drink bone broth soup, take supplements, and heal from within, if you are still putting crap on your skin? If you've taken my KickStart to Wellness Program, you know my mantra to Maximize, Minimize and Prioritize for optimal health.

If you listened to my interview on the Healthy Aging Summit, I said to think of the skin as a large mouth. What you put on your skin matters!

This summer while I was working on videos for our upcoming members and our daughters wedding, I realized that I needed some makeup and I found a line of hair care, skin care and makeup that I've fallen in love with. The company is a B corp. That means it puts people and the planet first, before profit in every decision it makes. The founder is passionate about changing the beauty industry to only including non toxic ingredients. Imagine that! Do you know that the word fragrance alone can have up to 3,000 chemicals included?

Many ingredients in the most expensive beauty products are carcinogenic or include heavy metals.

Lead is a common ingredient in lipstick. Who needs to be eating this? As I said in my talk for the Healthy Aging Summit, your skin care should be clean enough to eat.  So I'm super excited to tell you that starting this weekend, you can get BIG discounts to looking and feeling your best! These make amazing thoughtful gifts too! I am absolutely in love with their lipstick. It feels and looks good too. I bought the entire line so I can share with you at my Open House on December 2nd from 7-9 pm. But don't wait for then to order because this is a Clean Friday special only good until December 1st. They may offer a Cyber Monday deal but I'm not privy to that.  The company has committed to omitting  over 1500 toxic chemicals that are commonly found in beauty products. This is a company I want to support. Here's a link for more information and to shop. If you are local and want to stop by and see products, let me know that too. Or if you want me to come speak to a group about healthy living and the importance of what you eat, think and do I would love that too.

Services: Dianne Rhodes, Certified Hypnotist of Inner Horizons is offering  a Holiday Stress Buster Program which includes a hypnotherapy session (can be done online via Zoom) plus a digital recording. Email her dreamyourinnerhorizons@gmail.com

Rise Well-Being Center offers meditation, yoga, movement to music classes and workshops. This is a fantastic place to explore the inner world within you. They also have hosted some amazing workshops. Good to get on their mailing list. I will be teaching only 2 more Wednesday 7:30 am yoga for improvement classes in December and two more 10 am movement to music classes. First class is free to check it out.

Beloved Yoga Studio is where I received my 300 hour training and certification and where I continue to practice. There are classes for everyone here and a wide variety of offerings. It's called a sanctuary for all for a reason. View their video for more information.

Mom's Organic Market and Great Falls Farmers Market are two of my favorite places to shop for local organic food for my table.

I'm off to yoga now and then to do shopping for Thanksgiving dinner. Please know how grateful I am to have you on my email list and I hope to get to know you better in the New Year through our online membership program where you will have access to support from Susan and I as well as discounts on healthy products and services. More to follow...

Carpe Diem,

Lisa

How long does change take?

A mentor of mine once said, "Everyone thinks that change is hard and takes a long time and a lot of effort. In reality, change only takes as long as you decide."

Think about this. Change only takes as long as you decide. How long does it take to make a commitment? Will you make a commitment to yourself? To your health? In an instant you can make the powerful commitment to change whatever it is you wish. How you do it is variable with infinite possibilities. Only you can decide to choose change when it comes to personal health and wellness.

You can make all kinds of excuses. You can listen to your internal ANTs, automatic negative thoughts. You can be paralyzed by your same old self limiting beliefs.

OR... You can make the bold courageous decision to change. You don't have to know or worry about how. That will come when you've made the commitment. That will come when you open your mind and heart to new possibilities.

Making a commitment changes the way you look at things. When you change the way you look at things,  the things you look at change.

I've said it before. It is worth repeating. 

The body is self healing and self repairing. If you will decide to get out of your own way. 

When will you decide to change that which no longer serves you? When will you make a New Years Resolution that will stick? You know what doesn't work already. Will you open up your mind to new possibilities on what will work? Will you believe that change is possible? Are you willing to take personal responsibility? Or are you more comfortable in the victim role?

I saw one of my colleagues today at a conference on micronutrient testing. She and her husband participated in our Intermittent Fasting KickStart program before the holidays and have been practicing IF for the past month.  Her husband at first complained at the cost. Now he loves it. One has a paleo diet. One has a vegan diet. One is a healthcare practitioner, the other a corporate vice president. Both use the supplemental juices and soups for nutrient dense, convenient prepared organic fuel. Both have more energy and improved moods. This is a good example of how one small step can yield big lasting results.

If your goal is to improve your physical and mental health, then commit to a 14 day program with us. 7 days of preparation and 7 days of supplemental support.

We may just be the one to show you the how.

Want to know why everyone is talking about Intermittent Fasting?  It's not a short term crash diet. It's a sustainable and a simple solution for optimal health.

Commit to joining us this week with a live webinar on January 17th for delivery on January 24th. You may  Register HERE.

Carpe Diem,

Lisa

I'm so excited to announce my first online summit!

The daily grind. Being a woman can be challenging. Not only because of the daily demands on our time and energy, but also because of the unique health issues we encounter.

Many women...maybe even you... or a loved one, are looking beyond conventional medicine to optimize health, prevent illness, and treat both acute and chronic conditions holistically. 

Sound familiar? 

If it does, you are in the right place. 

My colleagues and I, in the Wellness Inspired Network, have put together a complimentary educational series, The Women’s Health Summit, where a panel of experts have come together to share advice on prevention, treatment, and integrative wellness.
