Hello ,
As we round out the year, I am reminded again and again how grateful I am for this community. 2023 has been filled with "ALL THE THINGS" for me and so many of you. I am honored to walk a bit of your journey with you and to sit awhile on a bench as we work in collaboration to support your health elevation!
ISH Membership continues to grow, change and evolve to meet the needs of our community. I have lots of ideas in store for 2024 to continue to nourish this community and am excited to share, but for now I pause, reflect and sit in gratitude.
I invite you to enter into the last few days of the year and holiday season taking time to slow down, rest, laugh, connect, play and remember to celebrate YOU and all you have chosen into thus far.
With EASE,
~ Lynn 🌈

A new study compared intermittent fasting to caloric restriction in a group of 75 people with type 2 diabetes and obesity. |
|
|
|
After 6 months, those doing intermittent fasting had lost twice as much weight on average.
Caloric restriction is the norm in diet culture, but it’s not always the best option. Intermittent fasting is also not for everyone. I discuss these things on an individual basis with my patients to come up with the best plan for them.

💡Pro Health Tip |
|
You know that moment when your heart races, your muscles tense, your mind checks out, and everything in your body just wants to escape wherever you are?
It’s our acute stress response, and we call it “fight or flight.”
When I notice this happening (the first step is awareness!), here are some things I do:
-
Notice my thoughts or emotions.
-
Reframe negative thoughts to the positive.
-
Put my feet to the earth to feel grounded.
-
Take some deep breaths.
-
Change my location.
-
Move my body (dance, shake, jump, walk).
None of this is easy.
It takes practice.
But learning to stop stress in its tracks is one of the best things you can do for your current health and your future self. |

🔍 Did You Know? |
|
Have you ever thought about what’s actually creating stress in your body?
Because it might not be what you think.
YES, there are the usual suspects:
Running late for work….Toddlers throwing tantrums in public….Getting stuck in a traffic jam….The list of to-do’s that never seems to get done
But also:
❗ Restricting calories
❗ Excessively exercising
❗ Staying up too late
❗ Scrolling screens before bed
❗ Chugging coffee instead of food
Any of these things trigger the exact same cascade of stress hormones and changes in the body.
That means any of them (if repeated over time) can disrupt cortisol and contribute to chronic health issues.
I’m ready to flip the narrative on this.
Instead of normalizing habits and lifestyles that stress the body, don’t you think it’s time we start normalizing habits and lifestyles that put the body in a state of feeling safe and calm?
