Are you intrigued by this week's title? That title is called a hook. A hook is something that gets your attention because it opens a loop in your brain, and gets you to keep reading/watching/listening until that loop is closed. Why do certain reels on Instagram get you to pause and watch them through? Because there is text or video or something that hooks you in by opening that loop in your brain. This little-known psychological phenomenon is called the Zeigarnik effect, coined by Dr. Bluma Zeigarnik.  This is why every episode of a good show ends in a cliffhanger. (It's why I'm really angry with the author of the Fourth Wing series… leaving every book with a cliffhanger.) It's also the same reason why many high-performing women find themselves overwhelmed quickly when making changes in their health and fitness. These women are giving their all in every area, but just like your computer only has so much RAM and you can only have so many tabs open before it slows down, you can only do so many things before your executive function (the “management system” of your brain) gets taxed. Add in stress, poor sleep, anxiety (all common symptoms of hormone imbalances) and your executive function is even more limited. The Zeigarnik effect states ''Our minds quickly forget finished tasks. However, they are programmed to continually interrupt us with reminders of unfinished tasks.” In other words, the Zeigarnik effect causes you to have lingering thoughts about the to-do's you haven't done, the deliverables you have yet to finish because your brain is looking for closure. We can hack this effect (the same way I've hacked netflix by pausing episodes in the lull instead of finishing the episode) by reducing cognitive overload. So how do we do that when we have a million priorities? In this episode, I'm going to share with you 4 key ways and strategies to mitigate the Zeigarnik effect that is causing you a lot of overwhelm and stress when it comes to your health and fitness goals. Let us know your biggest takeaway from this episode! Time Stamps: (1:15) Intrigued By This Week's Title? (2:27) The Concept of Hooks (7:32) Why This Effect Exists (15:14) #1: Top 3 Priorities (18:06) #2: Consistency (28:35) #3: Chucking 2 Minute Tasks (33:27) #4: Mind Management (37:34) You Once Prayed For These Tasks (42:55) The Power of Breath Work (45:25) Please Share with A Friend---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

At one point I cried to my doctor because I was just so frustrated…. I thought I needed to eat less, be stricter, exercise harder but none of it was working. In fact, I found myself gaining weight, looking puffier, and feeling more exhausted the harder I tried. Does this sound familiar? "You're just being lazy. It's all in your head" is what I kept telling myself and that only made things worse mentally. It wasn't until I dug deeper into my hormone health and found the root cause I was able to start truly healing and getting back to myself. In this episode, I'm going to explain the four key changes that I implemented that made all the difference for me. We will cover why I backed off of my training, learned to nourish my adrenals with proper nutrition, cut back on caffeine which was incredibly hard at the time, and learned to rebalance my circadian rhythm.  Time Stamps: (0:25) Team Coming Into Town (1:32) The Adrenals (3:05) My Hormone Healing Journey (5:15) What To Look For With Adrenal Fatigue (9:15) Pulling Back Intensity (11:25) Nourishing Your Adrenals (14:28) Magnesium Rich Foods (16:18) Hydration and Electrolytes (19:12) Proper Supplementation (19:54) Cutting Back on Caffeine (21:15) Prioritizing Sleep (25:05) We Can't Work With Everyone---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

The Social Object LINKThe aim of the author has been to silence the voice of the designer to allow the accounts of objects to emerge as periodic irruptions that reveal a hidden maelstrom of passion, ideas and ailed projects. The book opens with the biography of a project dealing with waste, leading the reader to a very particular kind of object, the bads. This object is illicit, handled by criminals and in the writing by the author serves to invert the dominant discourse of objects as commodities. This book makes the case that the program of design is better seen as a democratic community, where the householders, the zietgiest, technology and all manner of hidden agents collide to allow unforseen periodic objects to emerge.The Social Life of Things LINKThe meaning that people attribute to things necessarily derives from human transactions and motivations, particularly from how those things are used and circulated. The contributors to this volume examine how things are sold and traded in a variety of social and cultural settings, both present and past. Focusing on culturally defined aspects of exchange and socially regulated processes of circulation, the essays illuminate the ways in which people find value in things and things give value to social relations. By looking at things as if they lead social lives, the authors provide a new way to understand how value is externalized and sought after.

So excited to have Coach Jodi Stonehocker on the podcast today!  Jodi joined our team at the end of 2024, but she came to us with tremendous experience having been a nutrition coach since 2015, collecting multiple certifications across the years to grow her specialties, from CrossFit Level 1 & 2, Precision Nutrition, MMU Level 1, and even FDN-P- Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner.  Her passion for helping women started with her own journey, growing up watching her parents experience multiple health challenges and seeing her mom in and out of doctors offices with a brain tumor... Ultimately Jodi knew she wanted to put herself on a different path of better health.  She was always athletic, from competitive cheerleading to CrossFit, but eventually her body could no longer handle overtraining and undereating, and she developed Hashimotos, which is an autoimmune disease of the thyroid. This is what led her down the path of functional health and really diving into both how the body works on a scientific biological level as well as doing the deep work in mindset, realizing that so many women like herself need more than basic nutrition and fitness coaching.  Now she has her Hashimotos in remission and loves to teach other women how to live a balanced life with holistic health habits and a good mind/body balance. Jodi lives in Utah with her husband and 5 & 7 year old boys. They are an active family who love skiing, surfing, hiking, and anything outdoors! In this episode, we dive into Jodi's background and why she went the functional route after her second child, finding balance with Crossfit, why she finds so much joy in 1-1 coaching, and more! Time Stamps: (0:10) Introducing Assistant Coach Jodi (8:10) Choosing The Functional Route After 2nd Child (11:30) Finding Balance with Crossfit (16:12) The Joy of 1-1 Coaching (18:30) Integrating A Holistic Approach (22:36) How To Do It All As A Mom (25:20) You Are Not Broken (26:46) Where To Find Jodi---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

I woke up today feeling like today is going to be a bad day and if you've done this too you aren't alone... Even with all the biohacking tricks in the world and dialed in morning routines, you are still human and you won't feel 100% every single day.  This is the 50/50 of life I like to refer to. We can't have good days without the bad and in this episode, I want to share what I do on my off or "bad" days so it doesn't spiral into several days or even weeks. One of my favorite things to do is look at my feelings wheel and gain some awareness on exactly what I'm feeling at that moment. Awareness is absolutely key here. Then I download those thoughts onto paper, get them out, and visit some new thoughts and/or mantras that I have collected and integrated into my life over the past few years. Then I ask myself how I can get out of my own head and into my body by changing my physical state. This works like a charm. Then I remind myself that the work just needs doing and to take action anyway. Listen in as I dive deeper into these thoughts and let us know if this perspective shift helps you on your off days!  Time Stamps: (1:37) Feeling Off The Past Two Weeks (3:49) How I Got To This Point (6:03) The Feelings Wheel (10:32) The Reality of Owning a Business (18:47) You Aren't Alone (22:52) Remembering Your Priorities (27:12) Important Affirmations (31:57) Going Forward After This---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

I've felt restricted around all different types of eating so I get it... I've had clients who I give the same protocol to and one person says “this is too restrictive” and another person says “this is great”One thing I've really learned over the years is that restriction is a feeling, not a fact. And it comes down to our own thought patterns, which can be influenced by our beliefs and past experiences. There are things I used to find restrictive- like not drinking alcohol, limiting caffeine- that are just part of what I do now and don't feel restrictive at all. This is where individualization comes in, and is a big reason why we don't just give cookie cutter plans to people. We often make RECOMMENDATIONS based on people's health history, symptoms, goals, etc. and then further tailor those recommendations based on labs, but the recommendations are a starting point… some people will come back and say “is there more we can do, I want to tackle this as fast as possible and as effectively as possible, so if there's anything else you think would help, I'm ready to do anything” in which case we might make the plan even more detailed or “intense” For others, they might say “this feels really restrictive, I don't know how I can do this, I'm freaking out”, in which case we simplify the plan. Plans are never black and white, they are a spectrum of grey, and we need to find each person's ideal spot of grey where they are able to move the needle and follow the plan. At the end of the day, restriction is a feeling, and it is one that we can approach like any other feeling that comes up. In this episode, we'll tackle the concept of restriction and hopefully give you a different lens to view it in route to your health and nutrition goals. Time Stamps: (1:26) Feeling Restrictive(5:27) Changing The Plan or How We Think About It(11:02) The Personalized Process(13:47) Asking Yourself Questions Around Restriction(17:32) Verbal Abuse Example(21:17) How To Challenge Your Thoughts---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

We lost a sweet family dog very unexpectedly this past week and it got me thinking a lot about life and how perceive our expectations... A lot of tears, frustrations, and other emotions throughout that morning and a lot of my thoughts came back to the expectations or misexpectations we put on life circumstances. Although Stella was older, we always forgot just how old she was because of how young and spry she always SEEMED. And in comparison, the other family dog, Levi—who is 2 years older than her— APPEARED old in every way. We have been expecting his “time” to come for about 2 years now… preparing mentally for it to happen at a moments' notice. For Stella, none of us were expecting she would go first, and none of us were expecting her to go like this. Playful and energetic right until the very end. If anyone had any concerns about it, some of my siblings and I would've made more of an effort to be with her in the last week.  One sibling beating herself up over the fact that this dog was originally hers as a puppy, and she ALMOST came home to my parent's house last night, but had a change of plans, and for that reason didn't get to see her one more time or be there when it happened. How often do we have strong emotions come up in day to day life that wouldn't be as strong if our expectations had just been aligned with the reality? If we had expected to lose a dog in her older age today, after living a beautiful life, we probably would feel peaceful instead of distraught. A tangible example for day to day life… how often do you go into the week thinking “I'm going to eat healthy, hit my macros, and go to the gym X times” but then work gets busy, you forget to track, you miss a workout, and then you think “this sucks” and feel upset? What if you spent some time going into the week planning as best you can for what you KNOW is on your plate— or even just being real with yourself if you have a career that can ramp up or down in busyness in a moment's notice— and set really realistic expectations for the week, even if it's not what you WANT the week to look like?  Would you feel a lot better if you missed the gym? Probably. And just feeling slightly better can be the difference between you adjusting the plan and continuing to move forward vs. giving up on the plan and “starting over next week.” I even felt this with a vacation recently… where I had labeled it as a “vacation” because we were going to Cancun, Mexico, and I had expectations of coming home feeling refreshed and relaxed because that's what usually happens on beach vacations. But the reality is that this was not a vacation, but a time spent working remotely while also being with friends in Mexico outside of working.  This led to resentment and frustration when working, feeling more physically run down because I wasn't resting, and coming home with thoughts like “maybe I just shouldn't have even gone”… yet if I had gone in with the right expectations, I still might've felt tired coming home, but I would've had thoughts like “it's worth it because that was so fun, and how cool that I have a job where I can work remotely in beautiful places?!” At the end of the day, if you're not happy with the reality… it didn't/isn't matching your expectations… then you can either change your expectations or change your reality. But don't sit between the middle indulging in really negative emotions when you are in control of the way you think about your situation. I'm not saying to just NOT feel negative emotions (trust me, I'm feeling them today), but I do think we can also choose to look at the “bright side.” Listen in as we talk through this thought process together and RIP Stella. While I wish I could've hugged you one more time, I'm happy to know that it was quick, that a family member was home, and that you did live such a great life right up to the end. Time Stamps: (3:32) Losing A Family Pet (6:52) Expectations and Our Feelings (8:29) Your Expectations and Your Fitness Goals (12:02) Managing Expectations and Reality (19:42) The Power of Awareness (23:22) Our Team at Vital Spark (26:29) Working On Your Expectations---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Social graces and a social life—we want our children to have both. At Wilberforce, we regularly state that education is formation—the importance of teaching the whole child. Our school's culture is deliberately faculty-led, meaning faculty come alongside students in life—not only inviting them into the great conversation but also modeling how to live, think, and relate to others as mature Christians. This requires social graces to be successful. Listen in as Dr. Ahern and Dr. James discuss why manners matter, why we have dances, and how manners impact our social lives.

You are bombarded by fitness and health information every single day but there are only a few truths you need to focus on... It can be extremely overwhelming in today's society with ads and content everywhere talking about what you should be worried about when it comes to your health and fitness and we know that pain too. As a health and nutrition company ourselves, we understand it can be a lot so in today's episode, I want to focus on three fitness truths that I believe every woman needs to hear. These truths contradict a lot of what you'll conventionally hear and we think that's a good thing. We'll cover why you don't need to spend as much time in the gym as you think you do, why building bigger muscles is the goal and not getting "toned",  and why effective isn't the same as intense. Let us know which one surprised you the most and if this was helpful! Time Stamps: (1:22) Coming Back From Travel (1:52) Recent Viral Post (8:02) #1: You Don't Need To Spend A Ton of Time In The Gym (14:02) #2: Building Bigger Muscles (19:20) #3: Effective Is Not The Same As Intense (27:57) Please Rate and Review---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

We're so excited to share another incredible coach here at Vital Spark with you Coach Whitney! Coach Whitney joined our team last summer and she came to us with a ton of experience as a coach with 2 years of online coaching and 4 years of in-person training experience.  She's helped hundreds of women transform their bodies. As a pre and postnatal specialist and women's coaching specialist, along with experience working with a lot of perimenopausal clients, she has an impressive resume.⁣ ⁣But she isn't just a powerhouse coach, she has been in the shoes of so many of you!⁣ After sadly losing her mom to breast cancer at a young age, Whit turned her pain into purpose and fell in love with understanding women's health holistically.⁣ Then once she found herself postpartum and with a hypothyroidism diagnosis, she found herself diving even deeper into her own health to prove first-hand that no diagnosis or circumstance has to hold you back from reaching your goals! ⁣ She lost 20lbs and regained her energy, and is now thriving as a mom to 2-year-old Emma and baby Brooklyn, living with her husband and dogs outside of Asheville, NC.⁣ I'm so excited to finally have Whit joining us on the podcast so you all can hear a bit about her story, learn from her experiences, and see why she is such an impressive and loved coach here at Vital Spark.  I personally think that Whit is simultaneously one of the sweetest and mentally toughest people I know. In the time that I've known her I've watched her overcome hardships personally, and always doing so with a smile on her face, ready to share what she is grateful for and still show up and give her clients her all.  Time Stamps:  (1:13) Welcome Coach Whitney! (3:58) Body Image Issues in High School (7:20) Testing TSH Levels and Coming Back “Normal” (14:07) Imposter Syndrome (16:36) The Postpartum Journey (20:12) Full Blown Panic Mode With Second Pregnancy (27:37) Facing Adversity (32:31) Ideal Takeaway For You (33:52) Where To Find Coach Whit---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

It's normal to say that you have weird cravings when you're pregnant and experiencing all those hormonal changes…  Why is it not more normal to talk about how our day to day cravings could relate back to hormonal changes? You know those times where you are craving those salty pretzels or something savory and you're not really sure why? In this episode we're going to cover some of the most common cravings we experience, and how they could actually be your body communicating with you about your hormones or nutrient status. Many of these explanations are not reasons for us to justify having the thing, but for us to be kinder to ourselves when we struggle with wanting these things or overconsuming these things. Rather than treating the craving by giving the body what it's craving, let's understand WHY we're craving it, and address the root issue. We will cover 5 of the most prominent cravings including salt, sugar and carb, fat, caffeine, and chocolate cravings and why they might be coming up for you.  Time Stamps: (2:05) Increased Cravings This Cycle (4:52) Specific Cravings (7:37) #1: Salt Cravings (15:24) #2: Sugar and Carb Cravings (22:12) #3: Fat Cravings (24:52) #4: Caffeine Cravings (27:54) Insulin Resistance (28:37) #5: Chocolate Cravings---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

We live happier, healthier, and longer lives when we feel deeply connected to other people. And while we might experience and express this need in different ways, the need for social connection is really universal. It's so fundamental that we have built-in biological mechanisms to encourage it. When we're socially isolated, our brain triggers cravings for human contact, in much the same way that it triggers cravings for food after a few hours of not eating. So, we literally crave connection. And that's why so many of us felt starved for connection during the pandemic. The problem is that in everyday life, many of us simply ignore the craving or we deny it. We treat socializing like an indulgence rather than an essential health behavior, and we fail to prioritize it. We recognize the importance of sleep, exercise, and healthy eating, and we take steps to maintain them. But going out with friends, going to Happy Hour, Trivia Night, these things often take a backseat. Somehow, they feel less important when in reality,

keeping up with and forming friendships these days feels incredibly difficult to manage. our lives have become more and more isolated as going out becomes more expensive and we become more familiar with a lifestyle and routine of staying in our homes and our little bubbles.

It's time for a pep talk... My motto this year is lean into discomfort. Nothing worth doing comes easy. The price of feeling good is also feeling bad. That's the 50/50 of life. Trying to never feel bad is like trying to outrun your own shadow. Thoughts are like fire: it can cook you dinner or it can burn your house down. It can save you or it can destroy you. You can do hard things. Your brain just wants to make you believe you can't. Think of it like working out. The weights don't become lighter over time, you get stronger. Just because you feel bad doesn't mean you need to change anything (except maybe your own mindset). We hope this episode is a reminder that the things worth pursing are hard, you'll be better for going through it, and trust yourself to push through the tough times.  Time Stamps: (2:47) A Needed Pep Talk Around Hard Things (5:25) Lean Into Discomfort (8:17) What Omar Is Most Proud Of Himself For (10:06) Alcohol Example (18:55) Unpacking With Someone Else (21:20) Tangible Step By Step Process (24:47) What Would My Mentor Think?---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Amanda is an alcohol-free lifestyle expert, holistic life coach, speaker, and author.   Amanda's journey shows that you don't need a drinking problem for alcohol to hold you back. Without hitting rock bottom, she discovered during Dry January that sobriety was the key to a more fulfilling life. Since going alcohol-free in 2017, she's been helping others embrace intentional living and unlock their full potential.   Her debut book, Unbottled Potential, is a transformative guide to living alcohol-free, designed to help people manifest success and lead extraordinary lives. Amanda's approach isn't about a temporary challenge—it's about redefining what it means to live fully and authentically through the sober-curious movement. Here are some of the things we talked about in today's podcast:  ·      Social pressures can make sobriety feel isolating. ·      Cutting back on alcohol can be a mental struggle. ·      Going cold turkey can be more effective than moderation. ·      Unexpected benefits of sobriety include increased clarity and creativity. ·      Friendships may evolve as drinking habits change. ·      Embracing discomfort can lead to personal growth and new connections. The realization of true friendship often comes after sobriety. ·      Facing emotions without alcohol is a challenging but necessary process. ·      Alcohol can cap your ability to experience joy. ·      It's important to sit with your emotions rather than escape them. ·      Life can become unimaginably better after quitting alcohol. ·      Finding your 'why' is crucial for maintaining sobriety. ·      Embracing discomfort can lead to personal growth and fulfilment.   (Website) Amanda Kuda | Life Coach For Sober Curious & Alcohol-Free Women (Instagram) Amanda Kuda | Alcohol-Free Life Coach (@amandakuda) • Instagram photos and videos (Podcast) The Unbottled Potential Podcast — Amanda Kuda | Life Coach For Sober Curious & Alcohol-Free Women (Blog) Life Coach & Mentor helping women live more authentically — Amanda Kuda | Life Coach For Sober Curious & Alcohol-Free Women (Youtube) Authentically Amanda - Amanda Kuda - YouTube (Twitter) AmandaKuda (@AmandaKuda) / X (Book) Unbottled Potential Unbottled Potential: Break Up with Alcohol and Break Through to Your Best Life - Kindle edition by Kuda, Amanda.

There are so many ways our gut affects our overall health including the areas of digestive wellness, our immune system and health, our gut brain axis that affects our mood and mental well-being, and so much more. Our gut also plays a massive role in our metabolism and energy regulation for weight management and weight loss.  Some gut issues can look like: - Mood disorders- Stool changes- constipation, diarrhea- Abdominal bloating and gas- Feeling full quickly- Heartburn, GERD, reflux- Stomach pain, burning, or cramping, nausea- Hormonal imbalance (gut issues common in perimenopause)- Food sensitivity- IBS, IBD, Crohn's, colitis, etc- Autoimmune disease- Skin issues- eczema, acne, psoriasis- Nutrient deficiencies (poor absorption)- Getting sick often/easily To alleviate these issues, most go with taking medication, an antibiotic, go the FODMAP diet route, cut out gluten and dairy, or take random supplements. What if another route existed? In today's episode and Part 2 of these series, we're going to cover the specifics around the 5R gut protocol, what you need to know to utilize it, the 5 stages, and more! Time Stamps: (1:12) Part 1 Last Week(2:34) The Lawn Analogy(6:20) Planting The New Seeds(7:57) Prebiotics(10:52) The Repair Phase(11:56) Rebalance---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

I tried a lot of things for hormone health in 2024… Some I've shared on social media and on this podcast and some have been complete flops that I will never share. I enjoy the trial and error and being a guinea pig for these modalities. To save you a bunch of time and effort, I want to share with you what I'm taking into 2025 when it comes to health hacks and self care practices. I'll list them below in case you want a detailed explanation of each and let me know which ones you take into 2025! Flush Protocol:Liver = 10-20% of metabolismFunctional foods, juices, supplements, and medical food powders to nourish thyroid and adrenalsI aim for 1-2x/year for ongoing maintenance, everyone can benefit from at least 1 flush in their lifetime! Follicular Phase Progressive Overload:Days 1-17ish I aim to increase my training volume (increased weights and/or reps) compared to prior month follicular phaseI reduce volume (or don't train at all) in luteal phase (Days 17+) Silent Walks:Helps with blood sugarSilent = nervous system supportingOverall movement = muy bueno!I aim to do 1-2 per day, the more the merrier! Scheduled Play Time:It's so important to broaden your life!Put play on your schedule and treat it as an appointment that can't be missed Lymphatic Drainage:Dry brushing, gua sha, lympathic massageHelps move lymph fluid for better detoxification (and aesthetics!) Weekly Yoga Class:I used to do a lot of yoga at home, but love going to a class 1x/weekVinyasa or Yin onlyI keep my practice restful- goal is nervous system management! Caffeine Limits:I've gone from drinking 600mg caffeine per day in 2021, to 0mg per day in 2023, to having 50-125mg per day in 2024 and feel great!This is MY limit that keeps my adrenals happy, yours might be different! Warmer Cold Plunges:I used to do plunges as often as possible and as cold as possible, but newer research suggests warmer and less often is more optimal for womenAim for 45+ degreesLess frequent during luteal phase Feast/Fast Cycles:Most women should NOT be fastingFasting only works if you have fed up and restored your hormones!I usually do light intermittent fasting around my follicular phase, and will throw in longer fasts around ovulation or menstruation every once in a while Sober periods:Started doing this by accidentGoing months without alcoholKeeps liver from getting sluggish IV Drips:Maybe 1x/quarter I'll do an IV dripIV therapy = almost 100% absorption compared to ~50% for pillsAnytime I feel like I'm getting sick or just feel run down I'll schedule an IV  Time Stamps: (2:39) Treating Myself As The Guinea Pig (3:32) The FLUSH Protocol (5:10) Favorite and Not Favorite Parts (7:49) Follicular Phase Overload Training (10:37) Silent Walks (13:12) Scheduled Play Time (17:22) Lymphatic Drainage (21:04) Limiting Caffeine Intake (23:13) Warmer Cold Plunges (24:49) Feast and Fast Cycles (27:22) Sober Cycles (29:30) IV Drips---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In 1819, John Keats quit his job as an assistant surgeon, abandoned an epic poem he was writing, and focused his poetic energies on shorter works. What followed was one of the most fertile periods in the history of poetry, as in a few months' time Keats completed six masterpieces, including such celebrated classics as "To Autumn," "Ode to a Nightingale," and "Ode on a Grecian Urn." Now, two hundred years later, an American scholar has written an exciting new book called Keats's Odes: A Lover's Discourse, in which she gathers and revisits the Great Odes, viewing them through a personal prism. Anahid Nersessian was born and grew up in New York City. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, and has taught at Columbia University and UCLA. Her first book, Utopia, Limited: Romanticism and Adjustment was published by Harvard University Press in 2015, and her second book, The Calamity Form: On Poetry and Social Life, by the University of Chicago in 2020. She lives in Los Angeles, CA.

Everyone wants to know how to eat to balance your hormones and I wish it was an easy answer... “Just tell me what to eat” people will ask.  I'm actually really happy that we as a culture have shifted away from the low fat of the 90's, low carb of the early 2000's, and the overall fearing calories of recent years, and are starting to bring awareness to eating FOR hormone health!  But we're also very much still a culture of processed foods and fast food. Everyone's living off caffeine and stress, and our blood sugar is all over the place. Eating to balance your hormones is a matter of going back to basics and eating in a well rounded & nourishing way. In this episode, we're going to share the 3 steps to follow to eat in a way that promotes balanced hormones including how to eat a mostly whole food diet, how to avoid eating naked carbs, and how to get 20-40 grams of protein at each meal. These steps have helped the thousands of women we've coached at Vital Spark and we hope they work for you too! Time Stamps: (1:32) It's The Mold! (2:08) Eating For Your Hormones (5:22) Diet Aka Did I Eat Today? (6:04) #1: Mostly Whole Food Diet (9:27) #2: Avoid Eating Only Naked Carbs (13:26) #3: Eating 20-40 Grams of Protein At Each Meal---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?
