I can't stress enough how crucial it is to tune into the hormonal fluctuations that happen within us and understand the impact they have on our mood, energy levels, and overall well-being. I'm going to get personal here and share some of my own battles with PMDD. It's been a tough journey, but it's made me realize just how significant hormones are when it comes to our mental health. I've picked up some handy strategies along the way, like habit stacking, which is all about syncing our daily activities with the different phases of our cycle. It's been a game-changer for me, and I really think tailoring our health approach to our individual needs is the way to go. I'd love for you guys to join in on this conversation.

I believe it's important to have internal motivations when it comes to our health and wellness goals. That's why I plan to seek expert guidance for any specific health concerns I may have. Let's start with my fitness plan. I've decided to incorporate a combination of strength training, cardio, and new activities into my routine. By diversifying my workouts, I can challenge my body in different ways and keep things interesting. Now, let's talk about my nutrition strategy. I will be following the "2B Mindset" program, which focuses on developing a healthy relationship with food and making mindful choices. Additionally, I will be using the 30-30-30 method, which involves balancing my meals with 30% protein, 30% healthy fats, and 30% carbohydrates. I've also had some positive experiences with supplements that I'd like to share. GI Assist and Anx-Defy have been particularly helpful for me, and I believe they can benefit others as well. However, it's important to remember that supplements should be used in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Lastly, I want to give you a sneak peek of an upcoming episode. I will be discussing the internal work that leads to external change. It's not just about physical fitness, but also about mental and emotional well-being. I'm excited to dive deeper into this topic and share valuable insights with all of you.

In this episode of the Living in Sync podcast, I'll be sharing my process of reflecting on the past year and preparing for the new one. As a certified nutritionist and fitness coach, I believe setting goals, refining them, and savoring the present are all crucial steps in personal growth.  To help with this process, I use a planner and journal for reflection and goal setting. It's a great way to track progress and stay organized. But I also have a new tool to introduce to you - a bingo card! This fun and interactive tool can be used to track your business, life, and personal goals. It adds a bit of excitement and motivation to the process. In addition to these practical tools, I want to emphasize the importance of solitude, silence, and prayer. Taking time for yourself, finding moments of silence, and connecting with a higher power can help align your actions and priorities with what truly matters to you. I invite you to join me in this process of reflection and goal setting. I'd love to hear your feedback and how these strategies work for you.

And what I teach is instead of wondering "why do I have these crazy cravings or why am I not feeling motivated, why am I not sleeping good this week?" Instead of having that, "why am I feeling this way?" You are understanding what's going on in your biology, that your hormones are different based on where you are at in your cycle, and you can bring that better understanding to either give yourself grace or to optimize and work with it. This is also really, really great for having variety in your fitness and nutrition plans.

Understanding your menstrual cycle and cycle syncing can empower you to take control of your health and wellbeing, and to live in harmony with your body's natural rhythms. Understanding cycle syncing (a term from Alisa Vitti) can have numerous benefits for women, both in terms of their physical and mental health. Cycle syncing involves aligning your daily routines, diet, exercise, and other habits with your menstrual cycle, which is a reflection of your body's hormonal fluctuations. By doing so, you can optimize your energy levels, mood, sleep, and productivity, as well as reduce symptoms of PMS and menstrual cramps. But for many women they do not feel they can realistically make life changes because their cycle - and I totally understand that - but understanding your biology will help you better understand yourself.  Alisa Vitti books In the Flo and Woman Code can be found on Amazon Feminine Edge Co.

I have lived through both "hustle culture" and "slow living." Both had their positive and negative impacts on my mental, physcial, and emotional health.  One brought on a lot of "success" while the other left me feeling like I was "missing" something and not living to my maximum potential.  Now I have a beautiful blend of both in what I like to call... Intentionally Busy! Living a full well-rounded life in the midst of a very busy season.  What is Intentionally Busy? Being busy is often perceived as a negative thing in our society, as if it means we're overworked, stressed, and have no time to enjoy life. However, being busy isn't necessarily a bad thing in and of itself. It can be a sign that we're actively pursuing our goals, taking on new challenges, and growing in our personal and professional lives. Being busy can also help us stay engaged and motivated, and can lead to a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. It's important, however, to find a balance between being productive and overworking ourselves, and to make sure we're taking care of our physical and mental health. Ultimately, being busy isn't inherently good or bad—it's all about how we approach it and what we make of our time. Joelle on Instagram

Welcome to another episode of the Living in Sync podcast, where we talk a lot about hormones, health, and wellness . In this episode, we'll be exploring the Mediterranean diet - a way of eating that has gained popularity in recent years, thanks to its numerous health benefits.

It may also improve cognitive function, help with weight management, and promote longevity.

I LOVE HAVING HEART TO HEART CONVERSATIONS!  And this one feels extra special!  For so long I resisted change, trying new things, and felt afraid to step out of "what I said I was going to do."  One of my great friends reminded me "you always have the right to change your mind."  If you feel like you want to make changes in your life, but are afraid of what might happen I am here to share with you the ups, downs, lessons, and excitement that change can bring.  Change does not have to be a huge life pivot but you can start doing things one step at a time and you may "fail" and you WILL learn, which is a beautiful part of life when those lessons bring you more peace.  Feminine Edge Collective  Regulate Podcast Program Joelle on Instagram  Dime Beauty - code JoelleS20 for a discount!

Today we have a great episode on decluttering your home, how to spend less time cleaning, and create a reset routine that makes your home feel tidy and peaceful each and every night.  Our homes are the space and place for us to gather, live, and rest!  While I personally am not a minimalist - I do keep things very simple, clean, and tidy in our home because I want to take care of it. I don't enjoy cleaning, but I do enjoy a peaceful, put together space and while I am in the midst of motherhood with toys all around and some clutter I can still enjoy my home and keep it decluttered.  Lisa's Website Home & Habits Podcast  Kitchen Course

As someone in the health and fitness industry for over a decade I know that I wanted to create a sustainable, but semi-structured plan in 2023.  I first started out with knowing what purpose I wanted my workouts to do for me and that was boiled down to giving me more energy, supporting my mental health, and feeling strong! Once I knew the purpose and the feeling for me I resonated with a plan and strategy that will realistically work with my life. I am also focusing on progressive overload and being intentional in my strength training workouts to make progress. I've done strength training workouts always but just wasn't intentional with tracking weights and reps.  Join us in FEC

Today on the podcast, we're talking about hustle and hard work. Hustle and hard work are not the same thing! Did you know there is a difference between them, and the difference is clear because one is busy, unintentional, and self serving. While working hard is purposeful, impactful, and aligned. No matter what you do for work when you see it through the lens of working for God and bigger purpose beyond our own understanding that serves others. Confessions of A Crappy Christian is the book mentioned.
