Let go of that right grip you have on whatever you're holding on to (friendships that no longer feed your soul, doctors that keep guessing about what could be going on inside your body, jobs that pull the wind out of your sail and anything else that feels like it's no longer working). . All that holding on junk in your mind is keeping you stuck in your old life. Now, it's time to grow. . It will be painful. It will be scary. You'll feel lost. And alone. And you'll think your life is going to collapse. But it won't. . Letting go actually opens you up to a life beyond all that holding on. Sure, it's comfy to hold on and it feels safe but it's not helping you grow into the woman you're meant to be, is it? . I didn't think so. . Life is a lot more delicious on the other side of all that fear and holding on. You'll see. . Let your new life start now by taking baby steps every day to keep letting go of what's no longer serving you. (at West Village)

Go ahead. See what happens. . Everything will start to change. I guarantee it. . Your perception of yourself will change. You'll have more compassion and empathy for YOU as a human who isn't perfect. No one is. You'll allow yourself to be unapologetically you and live for you, not for anyone else who wants you to be something you're not. This WILL have a positive impact on your stress hormones, digestion, blood pressure and much more because your body is no longer in a fight/flight comparison- jealousy- I'm not good enough- stressed out state. Your body and your mind are connected in more ways than you think. Be mindful of what you're telling yourself every day. Understanding all of this helped me heal my body in ways I can't even begin to describe. . Your perception of others will change. You'll start to have compassion and empathy for them because you'll soon see that they're just doing the best they can from what they know, what they've been taught, and their past experiences. They're not perfect either. No one is. You'll allow them to be themselves for who they are, flaws and all. No need to raise your cortisol and blood pressure by getting frustrated with them. Work on yourself instead. You are in charge of your body and how you react. No one else determines if and how you react or not. . Let go from beating yourself up and beating other people up in your mind. It doesn't do a darn thing for your health. . It's a beautiful shift that takes place when you let go. . You'll see.

#ad NEW || For the Love of Probiotics & The Best 10 Minute Kale Salad. . This is one of the best kale salads I’ve ever made and that says a lot because I’ve made hundreds of kale salads. This salad's gotta special probiotic-rich ingredient to nourish your gut. Speaking of your gut, you know by now that I'm all about gut health. . I take my gut health and my overall health pretty seriously because I've been through C-diff colitis, SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), Candida, heavy metals, and mold, all of which tanked my gut and left me looking pregnant for over a decade. All of these lovely health issues were lurking in my gut without me realizing it. Isn't that just delicious? . It's taken me over a decade to heal all of these health issues while trying out numerous protocols and feeling like I was going in circles while testing them all out. But the one thing I've kept consistent throughout all of this was PROBIOTICS. And not just any ol' probiotic. A probiotic called Align Extra Strength that actually works and helps support your microbiome, our ecosystem of bacteria. . We are made up of more bacteria than we are cells and we shape our microbiome (and they adapt to changes in our environment) by the foods we eat, our stress level and the amount of bacteria we put into our bodies. . Tap @TheHealthyApple for a clickable link to listen to me chat about gut health and this new probiotic, to get this yummy recipe and to listen to my step-by-step directions for making this fabulous kale salad. #AlignProbiotic (at New York, New York)

NEW || How to Make & Use Castor Oil Packs for Liver Detox & PMS. .
