Itās been a long time since Iāve properly shared my own health journey.
Lately, Hashimotoās and perimenopause have humbled me a little.
If for me looking after my health has never been about chasing perfection. Itās always been about feeling strong, having energy, and creating habits that support the life I want to live.
Whatās been interesting is that probably 90% of my choices stayed the same⦠but a few habits quietly crept back in.
I found myself feeling constantly hungry. While I was still choosing nourishing foods, I was eating those little extras my body didnāt really need. An extra yoghurt at night⦠a handful of something while making dinner⦠nothing dramatic, but enough that it slowly added up.
At the end of June I decided it was time for a reset.
Not because I wanted a quick fix⦠but because I wanted to feel like me again.
Over the following weeks Iāve been following our detox and reset, being intentional with my meals, getting back into my after dinner treadmill walks, and showing up with purpose in my strength sessions instead of just going through the motions.
This morning I was reminded why I keep coming back to these foundations.
Iāve said goodbye to 3kg, my bloating has settled, my skin looks brighter, my face feels fresher again, and Iām starting to feel stronger and more toned.
But more than any number on the scales⦠I feel like myself again.
If thereās one thing this season has reminded me of, itās that the biggest changes rarely come from doing something extraordinary.
They come from consistently doing the simple things.
For me, thatās nourishing my body with foods that support my hormones, moving in ways that help my body feel strong instead of stressed, getting back into my after dinner walks, staying on top of my supplements, drinking as close to four litres of water as I can each day, and choosing progress over perfection.
None of it is flashy.
Most of it is actually pretty boring.
But these simple habits have made the biggest difference to how I look, how I feel, and how I show up in my life.
Sometimes the answer isnāt doing more. Itās coming back to the basics. š¤
