Making an ESSENTIAL energy deposit.

We live in a time where there are constant energy expenses. If we keep spending energy eventually, our account will be drained leading to fatigue, brain fog and burnout. There will always be pressure to spend more energy but actions can be taken to add deposits to our energy account. It may not sound important but over time, with consistent deposits, the eventual return on energy investment is huge!

Setting A Wellness Routine

"I've been reflecting on what makes someone successful. After all there's a lot of work that needs to be done at home. Diet and nutrition, taking supplements, getting active, going to the gym and getting outside, meditation… our plans that we recommend are very complex.

As I sat to think about this, one thing that came to mind was the wellness routine. People who are successful with our programs all have a strong and consistent wellness routine."

So what does a good wellness routine look like?

Thyroid hormone ballance is complex. The single screening test TSH may actually be normal while the thyroid hormones are sub optimal. This lead to so many of us with fatigue, bran fog, gut issues being missed that respond so well to nutrition! Let's not wait until thyroid is way out before taking charge.

Anxiety is also a symptom of thyroid problems.

So what is anxiety? It's actually a protective mechanism. Like pain, it keeps you safe when danger is near. Anxiety motivates you to accomplish goals. Some people have a hard time turning off the feeling of anxiety. Others the severity shoots up so high and fast that they experience panic attacks.

So what can you do?

There's still space in our Bioluminescence Tour!
Aug 6 at 8:45 – 10:45pm $55
Bioluminescence is the production of light by a living organism and the most commonly seen bioluminescence in Maple Bay is from single cell marine plankton. This Bioluminescent plankton occurs in all the world's oceans and is best seen in late spring and during the summer months when there is more sunlight which enables the plankton to store this energy which it then release as the telltale Bioluminescent magical glow.
