  • Here’s to You! 

With a new year comes new opportunities and a fresh approach to goals, especially around health and fitness. However, this year, instead of cutting out food groups, going on some crazy crash diet, and feeling restricted, why not try adding more into your diet?

⁠You read that right, MORE. 🤩⁠

⁠As in paying MORE attention to our physical and mental well-being. MORE movement. MORE sleep. MORE laughter. MORE nourishment. And MORE REAL FOODS that heal from the inside out.⁠

Not sure where to start? Well, you’re in luck! 

This month, we’re launching our Restorative Health Series to help you do just that! By restorative, we mean beneficial to the health of body or mind. OR, restorative as in having the ability to restore health, strength, or a feeling of well-being. 

Instead of focusing on what we need to cut out from our lives, we’re focusing on what we can add to our everyday habits to help optimize our routines, heal any lingering health conditions, and feel our best! 

To us, restorative health means embracing all elements of a healthy lifestyle including good nutrition, a positive mindset, and sustainable routines and doing what we can to control and optimize them.

However, we know saying is easier than doing, and it can become overwhelming to tackle managing health conditions or even navigating healthy eating all on your own. So, we decided to make things easy for you by breaking it all down step-by-step!

How to Start the Healing/Restorative Process

Through trial and error, we’ve found tips, tricks, and tools that help us live a thriving lifestyle while addressing our own personal health needs as our team works to balance hormones, manage gut symptoms, fight inflammation, and more, and we’re sharing them alllll with you! 

To begin, evaluate the areas of your life (mind, body, and soul) that might have gone off-track or been pushed aside. Health, meal prep, sleep….consider it ALL!

Write a list. (No, really). 

Pro Tip

Then, choose 3 things from that list to focus on. Write them on a sticky note at your desk, a whiteboard on your fridge, or even set them as the lock screen on your phone. Just make sure they are somewhere you will see them every day.

Now, determine how you will restore or heal those 3 areas of your health. 

For example, I chose to focus on better sleeping habits, meal prepping breakfast for myself and my family, and healing my gut so I can get off medication…eventually. So, how do I restore these areas? With accountability. With intention. And with the end result in mind while thriving, feeling well-rested, and nourishing my body, knowing that it will be a marathon, not a race.
