How chronic stress impacts the WHOLE you from the inside out!

Even if you follow a Low Carb Keto food plan – chronic stress will impact the WHOLE you. Which is why I created The WHOLESTIC Method Program. In order to burn fat (not lose weight but lose fat!), optimize your health- starting with our mitochondria and improve your performance in daily life- we need to reduce our chronic sources of external stress, identify our HIDDEN stressors and improve our tolerance to stress (Hormesis)

Sometimes we just need to press “pause and reset” and to recalibrate. For some people, as the amazing lovable and passionate Jimmy Moore, this involves walking away from your major triggers – social media, podcasting and blogging. You can’t heal yourself if you are battling “fires” each day and “running from a lion” constantly during the day.

Those of us living life as a race with “type AAA personalities”, struggle with doing less and slowing down until you realize you need to stop how you are living if you want to be alive and thriving everyday.

I spoke this past week on our the 12th Annual Low Carb Keto cruise on how “chronic stress impacts the WHOLE you from the inside out!”- Hosted by Jimmy and Christine Moore. As I shared my personal story in my book “Life is Not a Race” to help other people avoid going through what I had happen to me starting in 2013. We can catch those red flags and signals our body sends us if we stop, pause and listen but we are so busy that we often miss those signals.

I am proud to hear that my friend Jimmy Moore is taking care of his body, mind and spirit by taking a six month break to reset and reboot the WHOLE Jimmy from the inside out. We can’t easily heal ourselves -unless we walk away from the sources of chronic stress and triggers.

Even if you follow Low-Carb or Ketogenic food plan…

Chronic stress will impact the WHOLE you!

Which is why I created The WHOLESTIC Method Program and so passionate about spreading this message to our society. To become fat adapted- we can’t just change WHAT we eat but also HOW we eat it and WHERE we eat it.

Sometimes we just need to press “pause and reset” and unplug to recalibrate. For some people, as the amazing lovable and passionate Jimmy Moore, this involves walking away from your major triggers – social media, podcasting and blogging. You can’t heal yourself if you are battling “fires” each day and “running from a lion” constantly during the day.

Life is a Journey. We all need to learn how to slow down, reset and reconnect By disconnecting. Enjoy the moment and be present. Focus. Unplug. Heal from the inside out.

We all support Jimmy and Christine on their major life changing decision. We are all going to send him love and support as well as appreciation for what he has given thousands of people in the last 15 plus years of his non stop commitment to the Low Carb Keto world. don’t worry- he has thousands of podcast episodes to replay so you can continue hearing his voice and his message.

We all need to put the oxygen mask on first before we can help others.

Please do the same while you are kind, loving and sensitive to other people.

Life is not a Race. It is a Journey.

Enjoy the ride…by removing or improving external and internal stressors… and making any habits-

AVOID ANYTHING CHRONIC

Life is a Journey. We all need to learn how to slow down, reset and reconnect By disconnecting. Enjoy the moment and be present. Focus. Unplug. Heal from the inside out.

Chronic business, chronic cardio, chronic eating…

CHRONIC is not a positive word!

Sometimes nutrition, labs, supplements and lifestyle biohacks are not enough. We need to identify the triggers, red flags, toxic people and energy robbers in our life.

The Chronic Stress Response

Distress of any kind leads to loss of homeostasis, dysfunction, dis-ease, Metabolic Chaos®. A weakened state of health and left unchecked leads to symptoms downstream. Treating symptoms only leads to worsening of the underlying dis-ease state. The job of an FDN-Practitioner is to look upstream, use labs to identify opportunities to restore function and balance. We help clients to adopt behaviors and therapies that “coach up“ their vital reserve, strategic reserve, metabolic reserve…while we “coach down” contributors to metabolic chaos® leading to return of health and vitality, symptoms disappear. Client’s symptoms may be far removed from the causal factors or stressors found upstream” ~ Reed Davis, founder of FDN Inc

What can you do today to take care of the WHOLE you?

My friends Jimmy and Christine more finally figured out they could only heal and recalibrate their souls by leaving the social media, podcasting and blogging world for six months. They identified their sources of external stress and addiction to busyness as social media, emails and being connected leads to a source of CHRONIC STRESS. For Jimny, the 2% of negative hurt full emails out weighed the 98% of loving, grateful and supportive emailed from his fans who appreciate everything he does and gives to the Low-Carb Keto world.

For someone that has dedicated 15 years of his life sharing his personal life, successes, wins and losses- people forget about that people have feelings and words hurt. I am sure most everyone could never say hurtful words to someone in person but it is amazing how people can damage a persons spirit and self-esteem on social media or in an email. Words hurt. Especially for someone who gives so much just to follow their passion, purpose and mission in life. Jimmy Moore has made a major impact in our world and he will continue to do so as that is his personality and who he is – BUT he needs to take time off to heal mind, body and spirit. I know first hand that chronic stress and chronic business only leads to “METABOLIC CHAOS” and the boat will keep sinking if you don’t find where the leak is in the boat.
