Hashimoto's thyroid disease and Raynaud's (also diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome/IBS).
Number three, this has been the biggest game changer because. I was very deficient in vitamins and minerals, not only from my poor diet, but from being on birth control pills for so long that I wasn't making enough stomach acid. I wasn't absorbing the vitamins and minerals I was taking in with my food. And so the biggest game changer for me has been repleting those vitamins and minerals and supporting my mitochondria. All the little powerhouses inside your millions of cells that make your ATP, they make your energy. And we just, we need support when it comes to that. So every woman I've ever encountered as a one on one private patient, or in my group programs, or just messaging me online, like literally, we all need this basic vitamin and mineral repletion and mitochondrial support. So that's why I created Energy Lift. It has everything you need in it for at least your daily minimal requirements to produce enough ATP or energy and to get through the day. So that's been the third big game changer for me, is taking, taking my Energy Lift supplements every day. So those three things give me boundless energy so that I can see patients all day, so that I can record podcasts, I can do research, I can run group programs, I can coach lacrosse, I can take care of my kids, I can, you know, watch my grandson. I can do all of those things. Exercise, hang out with my girlfriends, enjoy life, ride roller coasters like I could go on all day. But it's because of these daily practices that I've incorporated. And I want to remind you, like, I have autoimmune conditions, I have Hashimoto's thyroid disease, I have Raynaud's, I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome and all these other things. And if you at least are replacing your vitamins and minerals, supporting your mitochondria, getting your water in, focusing on, you know, supporting that circadian rhythm, you're going to get so much of your energy back and so that you can feel like you have enough energy to make better choices and choose healthier foods and prep your food and actually go out and move your body, because if you don't have the energy, then you're not going to make the right food choices. You're not going to be able to go out and exercise. And I'm just living proof that if you make these shifts, you'll have the energy to change those bigger things.
