Is this common health trend setting YOU Back?

“Good health is not something we can buy. However, it can be an extremely valuable savings account."?– Anne Wilson Schaef

We have NOTHING, if we do not have our health.?

We want to stay on track but find it increasing difficulty as “average Janes” to distill all of the advice and guidance and science out there.? Not to mention, the conflicting information.....

Eat meat ?? don’t eat meat

Low calorie ?? more calories

Coffee is good ?? coffee is bad

Whats really trending over the last few years???Intermittent fasting/ time restricted eating has gotten lots of press, often touted as the solution we all need to improve our metabolic function and lose a few unhealthy or unwanted pounds.??

But.....could it be doing more harm than good for some of us?

So lets dive in to today's bullets:

Is Intermittent fasting doing more harm than good?

Dr. Stacy Sims is a PhD in sports and nutrition science.? She has worked with athletes for years and wants to change how we look at our behaviors towards working out, eating and eating before workouts as we age.??She was on Huberman Lab recently (listen here ) discussing health and wellness, specific to WOMEN.? I talk about this episode nonstop because I think it’s really eyeopening and Dr. SIms' guidance is so pragmatic.??When I tried Intermitten Fasting, I was so lethargic and hangry.??It was not fun.? I wondered "why is this not the miracle magic other people claim it to be?!"

We have to realize the differences in our bodies from 25 to 35 to 45 and realize that much of what worked in our 20’s is probably backfiring now., and what works for men, won't always work for women.? Read more here.

The Tradwife "trend"

Have you heard of the Tradwife trend? I have written several articles on the trend and also talked about it on two podcast episode HERE and HERE .??It’s fascinating.??One of the most well known tradwives has been Nara Smith who now says she ISN’T a tradwife.???

I don’t personally love this interview. ??She doesn’t like the label, fine.??But what she is doing is not normal.??Normal “working moms” don’t have time to make a meal that would be 3+ hours to make.? She goes out of her way to make certain foods from scratch (even Coca Cola, yes, I watched the video, its pretty incredible).? I’m not mad at her for it. Truly, I LOVE that she is so devoted, but trying to make it seem something different than it is, to buck a label that, well, is probably fitting, is just silly.?‘It’s really not that deep’: Nara Smith defends her role as a mother after being labeled a ‘tradwife’. What say you?

The continual frustration with schools logins!

School logins and apps for Elementary school kids is RIDICULOUS.??Get rid of them asap.??Thanks - from a working mom.?

Literally, when my oldest son (now in 5th) entered Kinder, I was shocked at all of the tech and apps and emails.??Like, hello, I have a friggin job and plenty of emails coming my way already.??Then my second and third started school and I was never more thankful for my oldests almost-photographic memory…..I let him keep up the his brothers sign ins because I just couldn’t.??

It’s overwhelming and I really don’t understand how or why we can’t simplify this.??Apparently I am not the only one.??Read more HERE .?

Do you have a solution that has worked for keeping up with all the tech related kid items??? We are desperate, so share!

Frustrated with your job but too busy to look for a new one?

I hear it a lot: “I don’t like my job but with work and kids and activities, I don’t have time to look for something new”.??

I get it, I really, really do.? Looking for a new job can be time consuming.??But I would argue that staying in a dead end job or a job you dislike has far bigger consequences.??
