The real reasons many people are stuck in a perpetual cycle of trying to lose weight, feel better in their body, or heal hormonal imbalances, especially chronic stress, even if they feel like they're "doing all the right things" are: 

1. The intention behind everything they do is fixing, so they continue searching for a root cause and are never satisfied. They are addicted to feeling broken and continue chasing for a solution, which often manifests as a trauma response to a deeper issue.

2. They're skipping over the absolute lifestyle basics that are essential to creating health and homeostasis in the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual bodies... and instead, they're chasing one quick fix after another while they completely gloss over the glaring habits that are the exact cause of their problem.

For example: you're getting lab test after lab test done, taking the latest fad supplements, complaining that your body never changes and you've been stuck for years, even though you're "doing all the right things" with eating balanced and strength training, walking etc... 

But you're going to bed between 12-2am every night and you've failed to recognize how important it is for hormonal balance that only occurs when you're asleep between 10pm - 12am.

Or you're completely ignoring the level of stress flooding your system even though it's beyond palpable by those around you in basic conversations and exchanges, and you've been running on adrenaline and cortisol for so long that you aren't even aware of how negative it feels to operate from stress hormones...

And then you continue complaining that your body is broken and you'll never see results. 

You search for evidence in your reality to affirm your faulty belief that keeps you in a perpetual cycle of being stuck.

This is where a quality coach comes into play:

Because an effective coach is there to point out your blind spots and call it like it is. 

You shouldn't be paying a coach to simply agree with you or assist you in arguing for your self-induced limiting beliefs. 

An effective coach is going to call you out on where you have a faulty belief that is truly the root cause of what's holding you back. 

You shouldn't be paying a coach who will just say yes to you or join you in playing the victim.

An effective coach will hold the highest vision of you and show you the path to getting there, step by step. 

So, instead of getting annoyed by the inconvenience of your body showing you something that isn't working and trying to fix it as fast as possible in a chaotic, haphazard way...

A quality coach will show you that the body is so much more complex than that.

It's not made up of separate parts that can be fixed; everything is inter-connected and related, which is why a holistic approach to health is necessary.

And the body often responds with resistance when we put in so much effort to try "fixing" something.

HINT: this is why we incorporate mind, body and spirit holistic support... we optimize not only your nutrition (what, when, how much you eat) but also your movement, exercise, stress management, hormone health, circadian rhythms, emotional health and more. 

Do you ever notice that the more effort and control you throw at something, the less it comes to fruition?

This is because your intention and perspective are everything.

Attempting to lose weight, increase energy, build muscle, or balance hormones coming from a place of, "I am so excited to learn something new! I trust the process to unfold in perfect timing and understand that expediting things can make it harder" is very different than "I am doing this thing for now but I expect all my results to happen in one week but I doubt the process and I'm going to search for the next quick fix."

First and foremost, the body needs permission to do what it is doing. 

Shockingly, this radical acceptance of what is - the current state of your body - can lead to the first step of resolving a serious struggle.

It's not trying to fight you.

It's not broken.

Your body is responding appropriately to the environment + your compounding lifestyle choices over time.

And that's exactly what we're here for...

Awaken Your Nutrition is about creating a life you love because your mind is free from the prison of constantly trying to solve for how to fuel and nourish your body. 

What would your life be like if you weren't constantly trying to "fix" yourself?

You were meant for more during your time on this Earth than feeling perpetually broken!
