Self can sometimes be a bad word or associated with being shellfish but I feel it is quite the opposite.
On this beautiful Sunday take in some of these self help tips and make your day that much better no matter where you are and what you may be dealing with.

This is an important thing to remember!
So often when we are making changes in our life, especially in our health, we feel like we need to be perfect.
The problem with this is that we are Human. Yes that’s right… you’re human! Because of this you are allowed to make mistakes and be im-perfect!
Life is about progress NOT perfection especially in your health journey.
Anyone who says that you have to perfect all the time is setting you up for failure.
Of course the closer you are able to follow instructions the better results but it every time you slip up or out of line you quite… nothing is going to work.
Allow yourself to be happy and healthy even amongst the mistakes!

One of the biggest frustrations in chronic disease is… what is the best diet?
If only it were that simple. You need to know how YOU, as an individual, is functioning and not just the diagnosis you have been labeled with and given.
We are all different and when you know what is going on, you can get to the root cause, and determine (based on your information) what is the best lifestyle change and diet is right for you at that time.
Don’t guess, test!
We offer a second option review of labs you may have and, depending where you live, may even have the option to direct you on where to get those labs.
Start understanding your health and get to the cause, finally meeting your health goals!

Health Revived updated their information in their About section.

This is a crazy stat when you really take in what it is saying! We consume so much additional sugar than we used and are confused why we have more chronic disease related to sugar?!
This doesn’t even include the artificial sweeteners that are in so many foods, drinks, etc.
Start reading the labels and understand what you are putting in your body.

How many of us have found ourselves standing at the fridge looking for something to snack on?
I know that I have, countless of times. We are not alone in this practice, so much so there is a word for it in Japanese!!
When reversing and getting rid of insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes it is important to pay attention how often you are spiking insulin. Insulin spikes when we eat... and unconsciously putting things in our mouth to cure it's "loneliness" only makes this worse.
If you find yourself at the fridge wondering how you are going to spike your insulin next, ask yourself... am I actually hungry?
If so... eat
If not... don't
I bet that more often than not you are just eating to fill the time, distract you from work, or another way to procrastinate what you actually need to do... like following Health Revived to learn how to reverse insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. 😁
Anyway, this was a cool word that I came across and thought it could be a good learning point.
Be Healthy, Be Happy

This is good stuff!

Just too good not to share! The conversation on vs is a big one but I’m going to leave this right here and I’m sure you can figure out my opinion. 😎

Knowing your “why” is so important in making health improvements and meeting your goals in life. There are bound to be tough times but knowing your why will get you through.

The liver is so important and essential for blood sugar management.

Such great information!

The view out my side door 😍

Why am I posting a picture about the sunset and what does it have to do with detox?

Watching the sunrise and sunset helps set our circadian rhythm.

The blue hues of the sunrise helps wake us up and provide energy for the day. It reduces melatonin

Whereas the oranges and yellows of sun set helps the body produce melatonin (sleepy time hormone.)

Sleep is so important. That’s when our brain detoxes.

At night the space between our brain cells increase allowing the toxins within the brain cells to be flushed out.

If we are not getting adequate sleep our brain doesn’t detox.
This means we can suffer with:
- brain fog
- fatigue
- memory loss
- problems falling asleep or staying asleep
- Hormone dysregulation
- anxious
- restless
- irritable
- depressed
- moody

So if your struggling with sleep try watching the sunrise and sun set daily and see if that helps.

Important concept when you start thinking about fasting and getting the most benefits.

What on earth is fast flexing?

This is a term I have come up with to explain the importance of changing up your fasting techniques.

Think about it. We change up our workouts so that our bodies don’t become used to doing the same thing day in and day out, resulting in plateaus.

So why would we do the exact same thing day in and day out with our timed eating?

Our body gets used to repetition.

So much so that it begins to anticipate what you are going to do

When our body gets used to how we are fast our health benefits plateau and in some cases even regresses.

This is why it’s important to change up what we do:
- daily
- weekly
- monthly
- seasonally
- even yearly

I feel that being there for people is even more important this year than many in the past. It can be easy to be overwhelmed by everything we “need” or want to do during the holiday season and can get very self focused.
This photo represents what I feel the holiday season, no matter what you celebrate, should be!

Happy Halloween... if you’re going to splurge, do it smartly.

With Halloween right around the corner, let’s talk candy 🍭

Do I eat candy or sweets?
YES, absolutely. 🤪
But I have some rules more like guidelines when I indulge.

I avoid the following, because....

❌Artificial Colors: Have been linked to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), chromosomal damage, and thyroid cancer, among other conditions.

❌Artificial Sweeteners: are made with chemicals known to be neurotoxic and carcinogenic, affecting: brain function, weight gain and lowered levels of serotonin (which regulates your mood, sleep cycle, and digestion)

❌Artificial Flavor: have been known to cause High blood pressure & DNA mutations.

❌Preservatives: are known to disrupt your endocrine system and contain cancer-causing compounds.

❌Partially hydrogenated Oils: increase the body’s LDL (“bad”) cholesterol while decreasing HDL (“good”) cholesterol; they also increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes

❌Caramel Color: is made from ammonia and contains the chemical 4-MEI, which is classified as a possible carcinogen

❌Soy: Drives estrogen dominance, can be cancer causing, drive endocrine disorders and majority of it is GMO

❌Wheat: Is GMO, it disrupts the gut lining which can cause a plethora of problems ranging from digestion, skin, hormones.

It’s no wonder our kids are bouncing off the walls, having a hard time sitting in class concentrating and why our immune systems plummet after Oct 31.

Better choices:
- dark chocolate (the darker the better) 😋
- organic and non GMO
- sweetened with natural sweetness like maple, honey or fruit juice

For all of the parent out there have you heard of the switch witch? Let me know 👇🏼

Truth!

Happy Tuesday everyone!! Today is a good day... you know how I know? Because we are the only ones that can determine this. Things may be hard and there may be some pain in your life, but ultimately it is up to you to BE HAPPY! It can be that simple... start paying attention to the thoughts in your head and decide that no matter what is going on in your life, choose happiness. =) Be Happy, Be Healthy.
