Re-Release! Why Blood Sugar Matters

We are thrilled to re-release this solo episode from December 2023, focusing on the critical importance of blood sugar balance, especially for women. This re-release is coming at this time so that I can share about an upcoming Masterclass titled "Four Simple Strategies to Balance Your Blood Sugar." This is near and dear to my heart, as I truly believe that optimizing your blood sugar is the simplest and most effective way to enhance your overall health, mitigate weight loss resistance, reduce anxiety, eliminate brain fog, boost energy, and improve your life in all areas.
 
In this episode, I delve into the current state of metabolic health in the U.S., highlighting how less than 10% of the population is metabolically optimal and why this issue is particularly pressing for women in midlife, especially during perimenopause and menopause. Blood sugar balance is foundational, and the first step in preventing diseases down the line while also mitigating symptoms associated with these life stages in the here and now.
 
Even if you listened to this episode when it was first released, I highly recommend another go around with the new intro and outro sharing more details about the Masterclass.
 
Join me for this live Masterclass on Wednesday, July 10th, at 11 AM, where I will dive deeper into these topics, provide actionable strategies, embodiment practices and share my new Reset Foundations group coaching program launching mid-July. Don't miss this opportunity to be empowered and take charge of your health!

Manifesting Your Ideal Summer

Summer! So many memories and emotions come up around this season. Nostalgia for childhood, stress of changing schedules, it can run the spectrum. And we contemplate this summer ahead at such a special moment in time when the full moon and summer solstice are a day apart!
 
Join Ali and Caryn as we talk about our experiences of summer past and present and reflect on the importance of being intentional with how we want to feel both throughout the summer and at its end. We brainstorm together about how to reverse engineer summer by beginning with (and scheduling!) the end in mind to ensure it's filled with joy, adventure, and meaningful activities. Reflecting on our own memories and experiences, we realize the importance of creating personal and family traditions that foster connection and fulfillment.
 
Whether it's creating a summer bucket list, embracing moments of stillness, or setting personal goals, we come up with some ideas around how to make the most of the summer season. We encourage our listeners to take a moment, especially during this auspicious time, to journal about summer intentions and see what comes up!
