The Foundations of Optimal Health
Sleep
Sleep is foundational
and an essential bodily function. Without proper sleep, our brain can’t heal or eliminate toxins, affecting our memory, cognition, energy levels, mood, hormone production, and metabolism. Resetting your Circadian Rhythm helps reclaim the balance needed in your life to live optimally.
2500 years ago, Hippocrates stated, “All disease starts in the gut!” With 60-70%
of your immune system residing in the gut, it makes sense that a healthy gut contributes to a stronger immune system. Systemic inflammation weakens the immune system, decreasing its ability to handle the toxicity we are exposed to
in this day and age. Proper nourishment is one way we can heal our bodies, reduce inflammation and live optimal and fulfilling lives.
Nutrition
Movement
Health is an investment.
By incorporating movement into our lives, we can prevent stress, injury, chronic disease,
and many other issues
by keeping our bodies strong and able. We are gifted one body in this life, and we ultimately decide how healthy, strong, and youthful we want to remain as we age.
Stress
Stress affects how you think, feel and behave and is one of the top indicators of homeostasis within the body and health. You can have the healthiest diet around, never miss a day at the gym, and still suffer physical symptoms that manifest through unmanaged chronic stress. Finding ways
to navigate the stress in life is key to healing
and finding balance.
Community
The mind-body and spirit are all interconnected.
If we are unfulfilled socially, it can impact
our ability to thrive emotionally, mentally,
and physically. Humans
are social animals.
Strong, healthy connections are crucial
to our emotional health. Surrounding yourself with those who care for you, support, encourage, and act with love and acceptance toward you, plays a significant role in your overall well-being.
Going back to the basics, your roots, and strengthening your foundation, WILL lead you on the path to optimal health.
