Make Food the Foundation of Health April 22-29

Bloating. Gas. Constipation. That “why does my stomach hate me?” feeling.

Not exactly dinner-table conversation, but it’s more common than people think.

The good news: better gut health usually doesn’t start with expensive supplements or trendy “cleanses.”

It starts with simple habits that support digestion and help your gut bacteria thrive:

• slowing down and chewing your food
• eating more minimally processed plant foods
• adding fiber strategically
• supporting your gut during/after antibiotics
• moving your body regularly

Small habits, big downstream effects—for digestion, energy, fullness, and even overall health.

Save this for later, and if your gut’s been giving you attitude lately, the full article breaks down the science and practical strategies.

Spring in NE TN! I can’t love it enough. (Not thinking about February today!)
We have been outside nearly every daylight hour since Friday at noon.

Seeds and herbs started, bench finished staining, a few new spring outdoor items in place, and today the main garden going in.

Later this week, (maybe today)wild flower seeds in the front bed for the pollinators.

Most of all, NOT sweating our tails off while doing it❣️☺️

Do you read labels?
Do you know what the ingredients actually are?
Do you have a list of no Go’s when it comes to ingredients on those labels?
I keep my list of noes at the top of my shopping list to always remind myself. Sadly, that list keeps getting longer and longer, or maybe it’s actually gladly, the list gets longer and longer.

I absolutely love this!
Listen to it every day!!
Who’s your daddy?

To whoever needs to hear this.

A great reminder!

I have a secret for you… The key to building a life that you love is learning how to push yourself out of bed every morning. Did I want to get out of bed before 6am this morning? Nope. Did I feel like putting on my hiking boots? No. Did I do it anyway? YUP. I got up and enjoyed a beautiful Vermont sunrise with my husband. And I feel 100% better knowing I started my morning doing something that I love, that also grounds me and sets me up for a successful day. You have to start pushing through your resistance, your self-doubt and your bullsh*t excuses. It’s the only way to build simple discipline. And simple discipline is the secret to everything. The best place to start is by getting out of bed when your alarm goes off. So take this as your sign - Get up, get going, get moving and start creating the life that you want ❤️

Not sure who besides me needs to be reminded of this today!

“Everyone is out here looking for the next fancy trend or hack...⁠
⁠
Meanwhile 2 of the MOST effective things you can do to live a strong, healthy, robust, resilient life are the simplest:⁠
⁠
✅ Strength train 2x a week for 30 min⁠
✅ Walk as often as possible⁠
⁠
(You can lift more if you want to, but 2x a week is enough to see results for most folks!)⁠”⁠

Yes, we’re definitely with Molly on this!⁠
