Menopause and Bladder Leakage: Hormones, Pelvic Floor and Solutions

Guest blog by Jenny Porter. Jenny is a doctor of physical therapy with specialization in pelvic PT and orthopedic PT. At Porter Pelvic she and Kimberly address not just the pelvic floor muscles, but how they relate to the rest of your body’s movement. When she’s not PTing your pelvic floor, she is teaching and mentoring the next generation of pelvic PT rockstars.

Menopause brings a lot of changes – some predictable (hello, hot flashes) and some sneaking up on you like a 3 a.m. bathroom trip you didn’t see coming.

One shift that can leave you scratching your head is how menopause can mess with your bladder. Maybe you’ve noticed you’re running to the restroom more often or dealing with occasional leaks.

First off, you’re not alone. Second, there’s a lot you can do about it! Let’s chat about what’s happening and how you can take action (and even laugh about it along the way).

What’s up with my bladder, anyway?

During menopause, your body produces less estrogen, and here’s the thing – estrogen isn’t just for periods and pregnancy. This hormone helps keep your pelvic floor, bladder, and urethra in tip-top shape. When estrogen decides to pack its bags, these tissues can become weaker, thinner, and less stretchy, which might have your bladder acting… well, a little out of character.

What does this look like? Maybe you’re making urgent sprints to the bathroom, or struggling to empty your bladder completely when you get there. Some women notice leaks during a sneeze, laugh, or jump (trampoline time is basically cancelled).

And hey, age brings other challenges, too, like muscle changes, hydration shifts, and just life in general. But guess what? None of this has to be your new normal. There are easy, real ways to keep your bladder on its best behavior.

3 Simple ways to adapt and stay in control

1. Show Your Pelvic Floor Some Love

Your pelvic floor is like the unsung hero of your body. This group of muscles works hard behind the scenes, supporting your bladder (and other important organs, like your bowel and uterus) and helping keep leaks under control. But like any muscle, your pelvic floor needs a little TLC to stay healthy strong. (However, with your pelvic floor, it’s less about strength and more about getting your pelvic floor moving in its full range of motion.)

Pelvic floor exercises, like kegels, are a great starting point. They’re easy, effective, and can be done while binging your favorite Netflix show or waiting in line at the store. BUT—and this is a big but—you’ve got to do them right.

It’s not just about random squeezing. Many people don’t even target the right muscles. That’s where a pelvic PT comes in handy. (We help you get it right the first time so those exercises actually work.)

2. Re-Think Your Drinking Habits

Staying hydrated is a balancing act, especially during menopause. Sure, cutting back on drinks might seem smart to avoid extra bathroom trips – but dehydration can irritate your bladder too. The other extreme? For some, guzzling coffee, soda, or citrusy drinks, which can make your bladder loopy in a whole new way. (Since everyone’s bladder is different, they’re all irritated by different things.)

The trick? Stick to plain old water, and sip it consistently throughout the day. No need to chug a gallon at once – this isn’t a frat party. If you’ve got a sneaky habit of drinking things that might poke your bladder (caffeine, I’m looking at you), we help you figure out what’s worth keeping and what’s not. Small tweaks, big payoffs.

3. Teach Your Bladder Some Patience

Bladder training might sound intimidating, but it’s just a fancy term for teaching your bladder to hold out a little longer between trips. The idea is to gently stretch the time between bathroom breaks so your bladder doesn’t hit the panic button every 30 minutes.

At first, it might feel counterintuitive – especially if urgency is constant – but with some guidance (that’s what we’re here for!), it’s totally doable. The best part? You’re recovering some much-needed bladder confidence and ditching the fear of constant interruptions.

You don’t have to do this alone

Your bladder is its own boss, but that doesn’t mean you’re powerless. Every woman’s body is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for pelvic health (spoiler alert: trendy gadgets and “miracle” products aren’t it). That’s why we break it all down into simple, doable steps for all of our patients.

We walk you through tailored exercises and strategies to retrain your bladder – all in a way that’s easy to understand and implement. Plus, we sprinkle in humor because honestly, laughing through life’s quirks beats stressing over them, right?

Menopause may bring surprises, but it’s also the perfect time to reconnect with your body, take the reins, and show your bladder who’s boss (spoiler alert – it’s you).

Why Eating Less Isn’t Working Anymore (and What to Do Instead)

by Guest Blogger

Guest blog by Hailey Nolin, National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Nutritionist, Personal Trainer & CrossFit L1 Coach/Athlete. If you want to connect, you can find me at @haileynolin on Instagram or on my website at https://haileynolin.com/

Hi there! I’m so excited to be guest posting today, thank you for having me. I’m Hailey Nolin, and as you can see from my laundry list above, I wear a lot of hats in the health and wellness space. I work with so many women who are busy, overwhelmed, and trying to feel like themselves again, especially in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. One of the most common challenges I see in my practice is this:

“I’m eating less than ever… and I’m still gaining weight. What am I doing wrong?”

If you’d like to know why eating less isn’t working, this post is for you!

The Lie We’ve All Been Sold: Eat Less, Weigh Less

For decades, women have been told that weight loss is a simple math equation: eat less, move more. And yes, energy balance (calories in vs. out) matters. But your body is not a calculator. It’s a highly adaptive, brilliant system designed to keep you alive.

When you consistently under-eat, especially over weeks, months, or even years, your body doesn’t just give up fat. It starts protecting you.

What Happens When You Undereat for Too Long

Here’s what I see over and over in clients who have been chronically dieting or eating 1,200–1,500 calories per day:

Your metabolism slows down. Your body learns to burn fewer calories to match what you’re giving it.
Muscle loss begins. Without enough food (especially protein) your body breaks down muscle for energy, which further decreases your resting metabolism.
Hormones get disrupted. Leptin (your fullness hormone), ghrelin (your hunger hormone), cortisol (your stress hormone), and even thyroid hormones are all impacted by chronic under-fueling.
Energy crashes. You feel foggy, exhausted, and unmotivated. Exercise feels harder, not easier.
Cravings skyrocket. Especially for sugar, carbs, and salty snacks. Your body is literally trying to keep you alive.

“But I’m Scared to Eat More. Won’t I Gain Weight?”

This fear is real, and I want to acknowledge that. You’ve been told your whole life that eating more = gaining weight, so the idea of increasing your food can feel terrifying. But here’s what I tell my clients:

If your body has been in “survival mode,” giving it more food doesn’t make it worse, it actually helps it feel safe again.

Think of it this way: You’re not fueling weight gain, you’re fueling recovery. When your body feels safe and supported, it lets go of the stress. Your hormones balance out. Your cravings calm down. You sleep better. You can build muscle. And yes, you can lose fat sustainably.

What to Do Instead: A Sustainable Approach to Fat Loss

Let’s ditch the 1,200-calorie meal plans and talk about what works long-term.

1. Prioritize Protein at Every Meal

Most women I work with aren’t eating nearly enough protein. Start with a goal of 20–30g of protein per meal. This helps with satiety, supports lean muscle, and keeps cravings at bay.

Example protein sources:

Eggs and egg whites
Chicken, turkey, fish, beef
Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or skyr
Protein powders (whey, beef, pea, etc.)

2. Balance Your Plate

Each meal should ideally include:

A protein source (20–30g)
A fiber-rich carb (think fruits, sweet potatoes, beans, or whole grains)
A healthy fat (olive oil, avocado, nuts/seeds)
Veggies – as many as you can enjoy

This combo supports blood sugar balance, digestion, and hormone health which are all key for midlife fat loss.

3. Eat Enough

Yes, you read that right. Most women need at least 1,800–2,200 calories per day just to maintain basic body functions and daily activity. If you’re lifting weights, chasing kids, running a business, or dealing with stress? You need more.

If tracking feels overwhelming, focus on:

Eating 3 meals and 1–2 snacks per day
Not letting yourself go more than 4–5 hours without food
Honoring hunger cues, even if they’re inconvenient

4. Lift Weights

Cardio has its place, but if your goal is to reshape your body and improve your metabolism, strength training is non-negotiable. It helps you build lean muscle, which burns more calories at rest.

No gym? No problem. Bodyweight resistance, bands, and short circuits at home can absolutely work, especially when paired with adequate food.

5. Improve Before You Increase

If you’ve been undereating for a long time, you don’t need to jump straight into a “bulk.” Start by improving food quality and balancing your meals. Then, slowly increase overall intake — 100–150 calories every few weeks — and monitor how your body responds.

Final Thoughts: Your Body Isn’t Broken

If you’ve been stuck in the low-calorie cycle, please know that you’re not lazy, unmotivated, or broken. Your body is doing exactly what it was designed to do when it feels underfed and overstressed.

Healing your metabolism and reaching your goals might require a new approach, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you want support with rebuilding your relationship with food and creating a sustainable nutrition plan that actually works, I’d love to help you.

Thank you again for having me as a guest!

Personalized IV Therapy for Optimal Wellness

by Sumerlyn Kendrick

At Hyer Health, our IV therapy is more than just hydration — it’s a personalized strategy to support your energy, immunity, detoxification, metabolism, and cellular health.

Why Consistency Matters

Just like exercise or a healthy diet, IV therapy offers the most benefits when used consistently. Regular treatments help restore nutrient levels, support mitochondrial health, enhance detoxification, and promote resilience against daily stressors. Over time, this can improve energy, mental clarity, immune strength, and overall vitality.

Key Ingredients We Use

Methyl B12 (Methylcobalamin)

A bioavailable form of vitamin B12 essential for nerve health, energy production, red blood cell formation, and detoxification. It supports methylation — a vital process for gene expression, brain function, and hormone balance.

Amino Acid Blend

This powerful mix supports muscle recovery, neurotransmitter balance, tissue repair, and metabolic function. Amino acids like L-arginine and L-carnitine also aid in circulation and fat metabolism.

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)

A potent antioxidant that boosts the immune system, supports collagen synthesis, enhances iron absorption, and protects cells from oxidative stress. It also helps regenerate other antioxidants like glutathione and Vitamin E.

Mineral Blend

This includes magnesium, zinc, selenium, and other essential trace minerals that support energy, thyroid function, immune health, and detoxification. Minerals are cofactors in hundreds of enzyme reactions in the body.

Glutathione

Your body’s “master antioxidant,” glutathione helps eliminate toxins, support liver health, and protect against cellular damage. It also enhances skin clarity and supports immune function.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)

A powerful antioxidant that works in both water- and fat-soluble environments, ALA supports mitochondrial energy production, improves insulin sensitivity, and helps regenerate other antioxidants like glutathione and vitamin C.

Vita Complex (B-Complex Vitamins)

This includes B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6 — crucial for nervous system function, energy metabolism, adrenal support, and brain health. B vitamins are often depleted by stress and poor diet.

Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6)

Supports neurotransmitter production (like serotonin and dopamine), hormone balance, and red blood cell production. It’s particularly important in mood regulation and cardiovascular health.

Taurine

An amino acid that supports heart health, bile production, nervous system function, and mitochondrial performance. It also enhances the calming effects of magnesium.

Biotin (Vitamin B7)

Essential for healthy skin, hair, nails, and metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Biotin is also involved in gene regulation and supports adrenal and thyroid function.

Methylene Blue

An emerging mitochondrial enhancer, methylene blue improves cellular energy production, enhances cognitive function, and has antioxidant and neuroprotective effects. It’s being studied for its role in aging and brain health.

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)

A critical coenzyme for cellular energy and mitochondrial function. NAD+ supports DNA repair, cognitive function, metabolism, and overall cellular longevity. Levels decline with age, and IV replenishment can significantly enhance energy, mental clarity, and resilience.

Pico CBD

This ultra-micronized form of cannabidiol supports the endocannabinoid system, which regulates inflammation, pain perception, mood, and immune response. Pico CBD may enhance the calming and anti-inflammatory effects of your IV therapy without psychoactive effects.

Precision Wellness Through Genetic Testing

No two bodies are the same — and your IV therapy shouldn’t be either. With genetic testing, we uncover your unique biochemical blueprint. We can identify nutrient deficiencies, detoxification challenges, or specific metabolic needs. Based on this, we formulate IV blends that truly support your health long-term, targeting the systems where you need the most support.

Intentional, Personalized, Proactive IV Therapy

At Hyer Health, we believe that wellness should be intentional, personalized, and proactive. Our IV therapy goes beyond quick fixes — it’s a targeted, science-backed approach to fueling your body at the cellular level. With the right ingredients, consistent care, and insights from genetic testing, we help you build a foundation for lasting vitality, resilience, and performance. Whether you’re looking to optimize energy, enhance immunity, or simply feel your best, we’re here to support your health journey — every step of the way.

You don’t have to be an active patient to book an IV with us. We welcome both Hyer Health members and guests looking for high-quality, personalized care.

Why Testosterone Is Essential for Women: What You Need to Know

by Sumerlyn Kendrick

When most people think of testosterone, they think of men—but here’s the truth: testosterone is incredibly important for women, too. In fact, testosterone is our primary sex hormone before our ovaries even start making eggs, and it continues to play a key role in our health and well-being long after menopause.

Let’s break down why this hormone matters so much, what happens when it’s low, and how we can support healthy levels—naturally and with hormone therapy.

Why Women Need Testosterone

Testosterone isn’t just about libido. While it does help fuel sexual desire, it also:

Supports lean muscle mass
Maintains bone density
Boosts motivation and drive
Supports mood and mental clarity
Helps with energy, stamina, and recovery from exercise
Improves skin elasticity
May help regulate blood sugar and metabolism
Plays a role in attention and focus (especially for women with ADHD)

During our reproductive years, our ovaries produce testosterone, which contributes to overall hormonal balance. As we age, particularly after our 30s, testosterone levels begin to decline. If your ovaries are surgically removed, your testosterone levels can plummet quickly—sometimes resulting in fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, decreased libido, and difficulty building muscle.

Often Overlooked Benefits of Testosterone for Women

Besides sexual health and energy, many women are surprised to learn testosterone can:

Improve ADHD symptoms by enhancing focus and attention
Support cardiovascular health
Enhance overall confidence and assertiveness
Improve sleep quality

How to Replace Testosterone

If your levels are low, there are several effective ways to replace testosterone:

Creams or Gels – Often applied daily to the inner thigh or upper arm. A good option for gentle, consistent dosing.
Injections – Usually done weekly or bi-weekly. Provides a reliable and more rapid boost, though levels can fluctuate more.
Pellets – Implanted under the skin every 3–4 months. A convenient option for long-term, steady hormone support.
The right method depends on your lifestyle, preferences, and health history. Always work with a trained provider who understands female hormone optimization.

Natural Ways to Support Testosterone

In addition to hormone therapy, some lifestyle strategies can help support testosterone levels:

Strength training – Resistance exercise is one of the best natural ways to stimulate testosterone production.
Adequate protein intake – Especially from high-quality sources like grass-fed meats, eggs, and collagen peptides.
Good sleep hygiene – Poor sleep is associated with lower testosterone.
Stress reduction – Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which can suppress testosterone.

Supplement Support

Certain supplements can also support natural testosterone levels:

Zinc – Helps with hormone production and balance
Magnesium – Supports enzymatic activity involved in testosterone creation
Ashwagandha – Adaptogen that may reduce stress and help maintain testosterone
DHEA – A hormone precursor that can sometimes support testosterone production
Vitamin D – Low levels are linked to low testosterone

These should always be used under the guidance of your provider—especially if you’re also on hormone therapy.

In Summary

Testosterone is a powerhouse hormone for women—vital for energy, focus, libido, mood, metabolism, and more. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, postmenopause, or have had your ovaries removed, optimizing your testosterone levels can be life-changing. At Hyer Health, we’re here to help you explore the right approach for your body and your goals.

Why We Love NAD+ IV Therapy — Brain, Energy, Longevity and More

by Sumerlyn Kendrick

If you’ve ever wished for more energy, sharper focus, or a better way to support aging, NAD+ therapy might be exactly what you’re looking for. At Hyer Health, we offer IV and injection options for NAD+, tailored to your needs — whether you’re recovering from burnout, optimizing brain performance, or supporting long-term cellular health.

What Is NAD+?

NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide — a molecule found in every living cell.
It helps your body:

Turn food into energy
Repair damaged DNA
Regulate sleep and circadian rhythm
Support brain function and mood
Activate longevity genes (sirtuins)
Detox harmful substances

As we age or deal with stress, inflammation, or illness, our NAD+ levels naturally decline — which can lead to fatigue, poor focus, slower healing, and signs of aging.

NAD+ IV Therapy vs. Injection: What’s the Difference?

IV NAD+ is ideal for deep cellular support, especially for neurological issues, fatigue, or detox. Infusions are longer (1–2+ hours) and allow for higher doses.

Injections (IM or subcutaneous) are quick and effective for maintenance or milder symptoms, and can be used several times a week.

Many patients start with IV infusions weekly for 4–6 weeks, then switch to monthly infusions or weekly injections for maintenance.

What Are the Benefits of NAD+ Therapy?

Increased energy
Improved focus and memory
Anti-aging and DNA repair
Cellular detox and repair
Mitochondrial health support
Better workout recovery and endurance
Mood regulation and reduced anxiety

Off-Label and Research-Based Uses

NAD+ therapy is being explored for a range of conditions:

Chronic fatigue syndrome
Migraines
Neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
Autoimmune diseases and inflammation
Addiction recovery
Egg and sperm quality for fertility support
Anti-aging and longevity medicine

Why We Love It (and Why Athletes Do Too)

NAD+ is one of our favorite regenerative therapies because it doesn’t just mask symptoms — it restores function at the cellular level. Whether you’re a busy parent, a high-performing executive, or a competitive athlete, NAD+ helps your body and brain perform better under pressure and recover faster.

Athletes use NAD+ to:

Enhance stamina and strength
Reduce post-exercise inflammation
Speed up recovery between training sessions

How Often Should You Use It?

Goal Suggested Frequency:

Brain fog or fatigue Weekly IV x 4–6, then monthly
Longevity / anti-aging Monthly IV or 2–3x/week injections
Athletic performance Weekly injection or pre/post event
Migraine support Weekly to biweekly depending on severity
Fertility/egg quality support Weekly during preconception phase

Precautions

Some people may feel a “tight” chest or body sensation during IV NAD+ due to its impact on cellular metabolism. This is normal and we can adjust the infusion rate.
Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Always discuss other medications and medical conditions with your provider before starting NAD+.

Methylene Blue IV Therapy — A Mitochondrial Powerhouse with Surprising Benefits

by Sumerlyn Kendrick

Methylene blue might sound like a science lab chemical — and in fact, it originally was — but this bright blue compound is now making waves in functional and integrative medicine for its unique ability to support energy, brain health, and longevity. When delivered intravenously, methylene blue offers a range of benefits, especially for those looking to boost mitochondrial function, cognitive performance, and cellular resilience.

A Brief History of Methylene Blue

Methylene blue was first synthesized in the 1800s as a textile dye, but by the late 1800s it was being used in medicine to treat malaria — making it one of the earliest synthetic drugs. Over the years, it became an FDA-approved treatment for methemoglobinemia (a condition where red blood cells can’t carry oxygen effectively), and has been studied for its potential in neurodegenerative diseases, infections, and mood disorders.

What Is Methylene Blue Used For Today?

FDA-Approved Uses:
- Methemoglobinemia
- Diagnostic dye in surgeries
Off-Label Uses (Often IV or Oral):
- Cognitive enhancement
- Fatigue and brain fog
- Neurodegenerative conditions (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s)
- Post-viral fatigue or long COVID
- Mitochondrial dysfunction
- Lyme disease and co-infections
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Depression and anxiety
- Antiviral and antimicrobial support

Oral vs. IV Methylene Blue

Oral:
- Convenient, lower doses
- May be helpful for daily mitochondrial support
- Slower absorption, less predictable bioavailability
IV:
- Higher bioavailability and precision
- Faster onset and more pronounced effects
- Better suited for acute brain fog, fatigue, or neurological support

How Methylene Blue Helps Your Cells Make Energy

Inside almost every cell in your body are tiny engines called mitochondria. These engines turn the food you eat and the air you breathe into energy — kind of like a battery charger for your body. When your mitochondria aren’t working well, you can feel tired, foggy, or just not yourself.

Methylene blue helps these little engines run better. It:

Gives your cells a shortcut to make energy faster
Helps clean up waste and damage inside your cells
Keeps your brain and body sharp and strong

This is why it’s often used to help people with low energy, brain fog, or trouble focusing. Some doctors are even exploring it for conditions like memory loss, long COVID, or mood changes.

Research shows that methylene blue can increase cellular oxygen consumption, enhance brain metabolism, and protect neurons from damage, which is why it’s gaining popularity for patients with fatigue, brain fog, and cognitive decline.

Precautions & Contraindications

Drug interactions: Methylene blue is a mild MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitor), so it may interact with SSRIs, SNRIs, and other antidepressants, potentially leading to serotonin syndrome.
Dosing matters: It follows a biphasic dose-response (i.e., more isn’t better). Higher doses can actually reduce its effectiveness.
Not suitable for: Pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with G6PD deficiency, or those taking serotonergic psychiatric medications unless cleared.

Final Thoughts

Methylene blue is one of the most fascinating therapies available for mitochondrial health and brain support. When used appropriately — especially in IV form under clinical guidance — it can be a game-changer for patients dealing with neurological issues, chronic fatigue, and cognitive decline.

Is Semaglutide for Weight Loss Right for You?

by Sumerlyn Kendrick

Tis the season for Fun, Food, Friends and Family. It’s also the season when we tend to get a little Fluffier.

The good news is, on average, people only gain about a pound during the holiday season. The bad news is more than half of Americans are already overweight, and being overweight sets the stage for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. But let’s push that gloom and doom aside for just a minute.

First, has anyone told you lately that you are special, and you are loved?

Take a deep breath and let that sink in. Go ahead, fill your lungs and heart with a huge helping of self love.

You are a blessing to your family and friends. You deserve good things in your life. You deserve to enjoy life and feel good about yourself. The people who love you want you to take extra special care of yourself because they need you and they want you around for a long time.

For many of us, we spend time thinking of others during the holiday season. And that’s on top of our regular work, decorating, cleaning, and everything that is our life.

Who do we need to call? Who do we invite to our get-togethers? Who do we need to buy gifts for and what should we buy?

Well, please add yourself to the gift list. Doctor’s orders!

The holidays can make us anxious and even a little depressed because we know another year is ending. Maybe you didn’t accomplish everything you hoped – like losing 5 or 10 pounds. Maybe you’ve got an even bigger weight loss goal for the new year and now you’re not sure you will be able to do it. These feelings are normal, but they don’t have to be your normal.

This time of year – the beginning of December – is the absolute best time to prep yourself for the holidays and build momentum for the new year. You’ve got me in your corner, and I’ve got a great resource to have your back.

One of my favorite options is the FDA approved Semagultide – a safe, beneficial new treatment option to add to your weight management program. Patients lose between 20 and 40 pounds in 12 to 16 weeks, on average. But there are even more benefits. Semaglutide will make you feel satiated, so you are less likely to overeat or snack because it tapers hunger. It targets the areas of the brain that regulate appetite and hunger. When you combine this with intentional healthier eating and exercise, even light exercise, the benefits are compounded, and the results are fast and can be long lasting – as in the rest of your life!

As we age, eating right and exercising may simply not be enough. I love Semaglutide because it gives my patients hope and a fighting chance. It’s working hard in the background and focusing on regulating your eating even when you aren’t.

To see if semaglutide is a good option for you, I recommend starting with a blood test. We need to see where you are today and identify any health issues and get to the root cause of those issues. Once we see the results of your test, we can build a program tailored just for you and your needs.

Do you live in Florida? Schedule your free initial consultation.

I’ve got a holiday gift for you too. Here’s my Day Starter recipe for good health and happiness this holiday season. How you begin your day can set the tone for the entire day. The steps below will take no more than 10 minutes, but they will affect every other minute of your day – in a very positive way.

Day Starter Recipe

Stretch! Have you ever noticed that animals stretch as soon as they wake up? They know something you don’t. A good morning stretch gets your blood flowing, warms your muscles, and gives you a purposeful, healthy start to the day.
Lemon Water! Once you finish your stretch, pour a glass of room-temperature water and add a squeeze of lemon. Lemon water wakes up your immune system, helps detoxify your body, regulates your digestive system, and helps maintain your PH balance, just to name a few of the benefits.
Daily Gratitude and Intention! Take five minutes to give thanks and with meditation or prayer, set an intention for the day. Being grateful puts you in a mood of love and that alone can lower your blood pressure and help you feel relaxed. We have so much to be grateful for, especially the simple things in life. Give thanks for a night of sleep, for waking up, for being given another day, for having a home… for all the things good in your life big and small. Then, think about what you want to get out of this day and set your daily intention(s).
Move! For a great energy boost, do 10 squats, 10 push-ups, and 10 stomach crunches. If this seems too difficult, start with fewer reps, or modify the routine with 10 knee lifts, 10 lunges using a chair for balance, and 10 standing pushups using a wall. The goal here is to move and get your body warmed up.
Self Love! Make your last step a quick look in the mirror, take a deep breath in and release. Then, smile and give yourself a positive affirmation, such as, “You are loved and you can do this.”
