Regulate before you restrict. Write that down on a Post-it note so you don't forget. Put it on your phone somewhere. Regulate before you restrict. That is it. That is the shift. Before you change what you eat, before you're like, I gotta add 30 more grams of protein to my day, before you add in another workout, let me do a flow session on Sundays, before you overhaul anything, I want you to ask yourself, is my body in a state where it feels safe enough to release wait, because if your sleep is disrupted, you have a high sleep debt, you're not sleeping through the night, you're waking up tired, if your stress levels are elevated most of the day, if your nervous system is running hot with no plan, no plan is going to work the way that it's supposed to. Okay? You are not going to outdiscipline a dysregulated body. It is not possible.
