Are you ready to move your “health needle?”

/0 Comments/in /by

Hi there!
Today I have a special announcement to share with you. 📣

Since 2001, I have been helping folks to feel healthier and more at home in their bodies.
Ever since I was a kid, I watched my Dad and other relatives struggling with their weight and other symptoms ranging from anxiety to heart conditions…and I saw a whole lot of unhealthy habits too. As a kid, I didn’t know how to help. I didn’t understand that almost all of those awful symptoms were linked to habits…choices that got made over and over again every day that were keeping the people I cared about sick or unhealthy and definitely not showing up in the world as their best selves. Sound familiar?

Clearly this struggling fueled me to want to be able to help make a difference in people’s lives and to help them discover how they could feel better in their own skin.
As many of you already know, this is the mission that I’ve been on most of my life. 😍

I’ve helped a lot of people over these decades through customized programs, testing, and one-on-one coaching. But there are people (maybe you’re one of them) who just aren’t ready to take that next step to do that level of work either by yourselves or with someone to support you. And that’s okay. I really appreciate that you are part of this community and reading these newsletters and thinking about how you can move your health needle. 🙏🏻

Because of you, during the pandemic, I decided to create a program called Unstoppable Health Basics. 🎉

If you think about health building as climbing a ladder, this is the rung on which we all need to start.
The purpose of UH Basics is for you to start to lay the most essential health foundations so that you can have the physical, mental, and emotional vitality to show up as your best self. In this program we will explore the essential strategies, tools and habits you need to start steering your health in the direction that will lead to long-term, sustainable results. This is a group based and self-paced program which allows me to offer it very affordably and for you to participate flexibly on your own schedule.
Enrollment is officially open!!! 🥳

If you’d like to learn more about it and see if it’s a good fit for you, I invite you to apply for a complimentary Unstoppable Health Discovery Session with me. 👉🏻 bit.ly/schedulinghealth (subject to availability).

Again, I’m so grateful that you are part of this health building community and I’m thrilled by the possibility of you moving your health needle to the next level! 💗

Until next time, I’m wishing you unstoppable health!

Health Benefits of Ceylon Cinnamon

/0 Comments/in /by

Cinnamon comes from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum tree, widely distributed in Southeast Asia, China, and Australia. The inner bark is made into strips, dried or roasted, and ground into powder.
 
The aroma, flavor, and health benefits of cinnamon come from cinnamaldehyde, an organic compound.
 
While all cinnamon is delicious, they are not the same. There are two main types of cinnamon. Cassia, a more aromatic and darker one which is common and inexpensive and ceylon which is higher in quality, antioxidants and thus more expensive. Ceylon is also known as the “true cinnamon”.
 


Although both of these types of cinnamon are good for diabetes and overall health, cassia contains coumarin, which can be toxic to your body and harmful to your liver if taken in large amounts. Ceylon cinnamon contains only trace amounts of coumarin and offers some major health benefits. 

Stimulating insulin-like activity

According to research, ceylon is useful for diabetes because it reduces insulin resistance in the body so that glucose is metabolized in the liver. This makes ceylon an alternative treatment for diabetes.
 

Supporting immune health

The essential oils and compounds in ceylon cinnamon have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. You can use it to help you prevent and fight infections, especially seasonal ones.
 
Also, ceylon was part of a cancer study and may prevent or treat certain types of cancer. Of course, before you take anything, make sure that you have discussed it with your oncologist.
 

Managing blood pressure

The anti-inflammatory properties of ceylon makes it ideal to keep your blood pressure within normal levels. It helps distribute blood properly all over your body so that your heart is not strained. This may reduce your risk for heart disease.
 

Preventing Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s is one of the neurodegenerative diseases, which are characterized by the gradual loss of the brain cells’ structure and function. In this kind of disease, a protein known as tau tends to build up in the brain. Thankfully, studies have shown that there are two compounds in ceylon that prevent the buildup of tau.
 
With the health-boosting properties of ceylon cinnamon, it is certainly an impressive spice.
 
It is my passion to work with people like you whose health symptoms are getting in the way of you living life fully and with a sense of freedom in your body. I can help you to regain your health so you can feel great and free to enjoy life fully.
 
If you’re ready to discover where your best health has been hiding, I’d love to connect with you!
