Paul C. Tijerina

Living an intention-based life is crucial.

💡 Have a vision.
🧘🏻‍♀️ Meditate and practice mindfulness.
🤔 Focus on what you want.
❗️ Notice when you're not, so you can come present and focus on what you want again.

The way you talk to yourself is SO important! 👇🏽
•
The verbiage you use to push yourself forward makes a HUGE difference 💥

Allowing yourself to learn, grow, and develop at your own pace it what makes you, YOU. Just because you are not there "yet" does not mean you won't be there ever!

BUT the verbiage you use along the way makes a HUGE difference.

Conventional wisdom says that exercise contributes to weight loss because it burns fat. But the reality is, the amount of energy exercise “burns” isn’t significant AND the body compensates by increasing appetite and making you more tired and lethargic.

We compensate by eating more.

At an unconscious level, we respond to exercise by eating more because the body makes us more hungry.

At a conscious level, we respond to exercise by rewarding ourselves for our hard work by resting and relaxing, and sometimes indulging in foods we might not normally eat or eating more of the foods we might not normally eat so much of.

We’ve all been there. You suffer through a brutal workout, and because you think you burned so many calories, you reward yourself with a treat. OR you overeat something that you wouldn’t normally eat so much of.

We aren't telling you to cut out hard workouts, but we are telling you to be aware of how your body reacts and changes its normal habits when you're doing lots of intense exercise. More isn't always better!

💡 Did you know? 🤔 Fitness does NOT burn calories the way we think it does! Our overall metabolic rate for any given day is typically going to be about the same above a moderate level of activity.

Fitness DOES strengthen your body. Fitness strengthens muscles, bones, and organ systems.

🤸🏼‍♀️ Don't get us wrong, we LOVE fitness but its so important to know that the greatest benefits of exercise are the building of capacities, functions, and capabilities, the building of lean muscle mass, and the optimization of adaptive hormones, not just the burning of calories.

Your weekend reminder to prioritize YOUR self and your health! You can't help others if you aren't feeling YOUR best! 💪🏼 ✨

Thinking about going vegan?? Listen in to this conversation first!!

We recently had an EPIC conversation with Lierre Keith, author of The Vegetarian Myth (an AMAZING read, btw). We are so very thankful for her sharing her story and know you’ll find a ton of value in it!

👉 In this conversation, Lierre walks us through her journey starting with her decision to go vegan, what her 20 year experience was like, the symptoms she experienced, her transition back to eating meat, and so much more!

👂🏼 As you watch this conversation, here are the main symptoms Lierre experienced, and relatively early on, for you to listen for:

• blood sugar handling
• loss of menstrual cycle and fertility at a very young age
• degeneration of muscle, bone, and connective tissue

From over medicated to living liberated with Angela Peacock is all about Angie's story and how we can relate this back to ourselves and our own mental health. Just like the health medical system, the psychiatric medical system is geared towards diagnosis and treatment of illness, which in many situations involves the prescription of psychiatric drugs, anti-depressants, sleep aids, and drugs to counter the side effects of all those other drugs. The reality is, just like our health medial system, this system has to make money. Diagnosing, treating, and prescribing are a big part of it.

Therefore, YOU MUST BE AN EDUCATED CONSUMER. If you have loved ones that are suffering and considering treatment OR ARE ALREADY IN TREATMENT, WATCH THIS VIDEO! Listen in for some awesome insight, knowledge, and strategies for coping in your own mental health journey!

Have you listened to our awesome chat we had with Dr. Bryan “Step"?? It is a super informative, super awesome talk on all things functional medicine! Listen in at the link in our bio, on our blog website at superhumantransformation.com, or by searching "WE ARE THE S*T" wherever you regularly listen to podcasts :)

Take a look below for some more info on this chat!

🤔 What is functional medicine?

👉 “Functional medicine is a systems biology–based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. Each symptom or differential diagnosis may be one of many contributing to an individual’s illness.” - The Institute for Functional Medicine

🤝 VS traditional conventional medicine. Conventional medicine is GREAT at working with injuries, surgeries, etc. But has a horrible track record with chronic degenerative diseases that are caused by nutrition and lifestyle factors.

💡 Dr. Step came up with a great acronym to help us self-assess our health, and therefore, figure out where to optimize:

• S – sleep and stress.
• E – Elimination habits and hydration.
• X – Exercise, how much, what’s ideal. Mindfulness based physical activity
