Let’s be honest, it’s easy to overeat.
Food tastes great and its everywhere! During the holidays we are surrounded by food and most people even put on extra weight. But could you be overeating most days? ​

Most people think of overeating as something that only happens during the holidays. But overeating is not as dramatic as eating until we can’t button our pants, (think Thanksgiving dinner), or some other holiday. Overeating is indulging in more than we need, or eating until we are full, rather than eating until we have gotten the nutrients we need. 

Eating habits have changed since grandmother's time.
We do not have the natural constraints our ancestors did to prevent us from overeating. In evolutionary terms, most humans could not over eat, as large-scale agriculture and food processing generally were not available until fairly recently. Food and how we consume it changed dramatically 40 years ago. Currently, most humans and certainly Americans, have access to more food than ever before.​

What are the consequences of eating too much? 
Short term we might have a mild stomach ache. But in the long term there are many health risks associated with chronic obesity. Left untreated, compulsive overeating can lead to serious medical conditions, including: high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension (high blood-pressure), major depression, kidney disease, arthritis, bone deterioration and stroke.

How to tell if you are overeating?
Listen to your body.  Excessive constipation, blockage, bloating, vomiting, diarrhea or stomach aches are your body giving you feedback and warning signals that it has had enough. More often than not, if you feel a constant need for laxatives or antacids it is most likely your body telling you that you have taken in far more food than you need. ​

Additionally, your bodies energy level and mental alertness are also important clues. If you feel fatigued or sleepy after meals this could be another reason to edit your diet. 

While we all enjoy a finely cooked meal or delicious snacks, in reality food is simply fuel for our bodies. Put simply, we consume food and turn it into energy. It’s important to remember when we bog our system down with excess fuel or fuel of poor quality, (junk food), our energy will decrease, we will feel sluggish and less alert. Overeating can actually decrease our energy levels and we end up feeling worse. This often happens due to an overloaded digestion system and poor food choices.

Learn to listen to your body and know the signals that you have had enough to eat. Beware of emotional eating and practice mindfulness to combat stress. The signs are there, we just need to listen to what our bodies are telling us.

If you are ready to feel better, get off the rollercoaster of “diets” and get back in balance again, why not schedule a fact finding call? We can build a healthy eating plan based on your lifestyle and offer support along the way, with a time tested nutritional/wellness plan.

Productivity is More Than Getting Things Done 

Business coaches are strong assets for business owners because they hold the owner accountable for their own progress. They offer different perspectives to problems,  offer guidance, and they observe objectively how a business operates. After a brief review, a business coach can guide you to a more efficient and profitable solution for your business needs.

Productivity is more than just performing your daily tasks. A business coach will improve your productivity in all aspects of your business life. Here are some examples:

• You will step out of your comfort zone. Performing tasks that make you uncomfortable are often tasks that will push your business into forward momentum, such as real life networking or presenting to your local Chamber of Commerce. Performing these tasks will get easier with practice and will allow you to develop real life relationships with other businesses. 
  
• ​Your coach will help you course correct as needed. Your business coach doesn’t want to take over your business; she wants YOU to become stronger in your ability to drive the business forward and she won’t be afraid to correct you if she sees a misstep. If you listen to your coach’s advice, you will become more effective in your leadership skills as well as your business skills. 
  
• Your company’s operations will run more smoothly. Your business coach will see through her objective third party lens where your operations can use improvement. That may mean automating certain aspects or hiring a virtual assistant to handle certain tasks. When your business runs effectively, customers are happy and you’ll keep your overhead costs down. Effective operations also allow your assistants or employees to be more productive because they have the proper tools to complete their jobs.
  
•  You’ll learn how to transform your ideas into reality. Instead of keeping all your product ideas locked away in your head, unable to decide which one to develop, a business coach will help analyze your ideas and ask questions about the viability and effectiveness of each product. She will also guide you through the production process to complete your product quickly and cost-effectively.

Smart business owners know they can’t know everything about every subject, especially if they have limited experience in running a business. This is where a smart, a business coach can become your business’ top asset, guiding you to financial success.

If your ready to hire a smart business coach, schedule a discovery call with me today.

So what can you do to re-balance your energy and also make sure this doesn't happen again? You begin by setting boundaries. (REAL boundaries you can stick with, that work with your life.) One of the fastest ways to accomplish this, is working one-to-one with a coach.

Because this is such a HUGE topic for so many people, I have designed a private VIP Day just to concentrate on this issue and get your energy flowing smoothly again. These one-to-one online days are custom designed to meet your needs and be completely life-changing in every way possible: mentally, physically, and spiritually. They are created with the focused intent on addressing issue you need support with. 

If you want to take a massive leap in your perspective + happiness, cutting away months (or even years!) of frustration, false starts, and confusion – you’re in the right place.

Learn more here or book a free introductory session and we can discuss it further.

If you are feeling overwhelmed and need help setting realistic boundaries, I'm here for you.

What the Heck is Kombucha?

Have you heard people talking about Kombucha and wondered what the heck it was? 

Kombucha is a type of probiotic drink, more closely resembling a tea. While you can add a lot of flavorings to make it taste different, it essentially consists of a starter with bacteria, yeast, tea, and sugar. You can make it completely at home from scratch, or you can start with the kombucha tea starters, then flavor it on your own. You don’t have to be concerned about the sugar or caffeine, since most of it is going to be used up during the fermentation process. #WIN

Yes, I said a probiotic drink you can make at home!

Kombucha is actually really easy to make at home! 
Now, let’s me honest I’m sure you have seen bottles of Kombucha in health food stores and some supermarkets, but it does tend to be a little pricey. If your into saving money and also being healthy, you can make this drink at home in larger quantities.  

How do you make it?
While it may seem complicated, kombucha is actually not that difficult to make on your own. As mentioned previously, you need to start with the ‘starter’ — sometimes called an active starter culture. This is what uses yeast and bacteria; and is necessary for proper fermentation. It is combined with black or green tea and sits for about 10 days. You then will remove the culture that forms on top, and can then save that for future kombucha blends. The rest of the liquid is flavored and used for consumption. How easy is that? 

Flavor Your Kombucha
Keep in mind that kombucha without anything added to it can be a bit of a pungent flavor. Many people prefer adding something to it to flavor it. This can be anything you would add to your tea or a strong beverage, from fruit juice, think lemons or oranges. Many people add actual pieces of fruit to the batch and mixed in, giving it a sweeter, mellow flavor. Also you can add honey, cinnamon sticks, herbs, seasonings, and other flavors of tea for a unique and tasty blend.

The Health Benefits of Kombucha
People drink kombucha tea is because of how healthy it is for you. Probiotics are an excellent way to get the nutrients you need to help form a healthy gut, help with digestive problems and irritable bowel syndrome. People also believe it fights off colds and flu, and even can lower your blood pressure and cholesterol. If you suffer from food allergies, having more natural probiotics can help with that as well. 

While there are supplement probiotics, many people prefer drinking something as natural as possible, which is where kombucha comes in.  To learn more about Kombucha I have a new report that includes how to make your own healthy, Kombucha at home HERE.
