A shitty day often starts with a shitty morning, leading to a domino effect of poor choices that can result in: • Bloating • Inflammation • Emotional eating • Brain fog • Anxiety The good news? You’re in control and can start making changes today. The first step is bringing awareness to your mornings: 💫 What habits or choices create a stressful morning for you? 💫 What habits or routines set you up for a fantastic morning? Once you have clarity, pick one lifestyle factor in the fantastic morning column and start implementing it. Small shifts in your morning routine can lead to amazing days and, eventually, a life full of better choices and better health. You’ve got this! 💪

Nourish yourself in the small steps 💫

Your body is always talking to you in ways like… • Weight gain • Bloating • Sinuses • Inflammation • Constipation • Anxiety • Mental Fog The thing is, when your body is speaking, are you listening? Are you taking the time to notice the subtle (or not-so-subtle) signals it’s sending? These signs are often clues that something deeper is going on—whether it’s related to stress, diet, sleep, or emotional well-being. Ignoring them may seem easier in the moment, but over time, it can lead to more serious imbalances. Instead of masking the symptoms with quick fixes or just “pushing through,” it’s important to pause, check in with yourself, and listen. Your body is a powerful messenger, and by paying attention, you can make adjustments that help restore balance, boost your energy, and improve your overall health. If you’re ready to listen to your body and start making meaningful changes, I’m here to help guide you on your journey. Let’s work together to uncover the root causes of your symptoms and create a personalized plan for lasting health. - Kirsti

We’ve all been there: summer ends, the days get shorter, and suddenly, our healthy habits take a back seat. Winter feels like the “off-season” for wellness. But here’s the truth: your health isn’t about a “summer bod.” It’s about honoring your body all year long. 🌱💪 Winter is actually a beautiful time to shift your focus—not to “falling off” but to slowing down and honoring the Yin energy of the season. 🍂❄️ The Yin principles teach us to embrace rest, nourish deeply, and reflect inward. It’s a season to: 🌟 Support your gut health and restore balance in your life through mindful nourishment. 😴 Prioritize restful sleep and moments of stillness to recharge your energy. 🧘‍♀️ Reignite habits that sustain your body, mind, and soul. Instead of seeing winter as a time to lose motivation, think of it as an opportunity to rebuild your foundation for the seasons ahead. ✨ If you’ve struggled with staying consistent or feel like you need a fresh start, this is your sign. 🙌 Let’s work together to embrace the beauty of living well year-round—no crash diets, no extremes, just a journey toward balance, health, and a nourished gut. DM me to start your journey, and let’s make this winter the season you thrive. 🌿 - Kirsti

Compassion and consistency is key ✨💫 - Kirsti

Market day is tomorrow here In Peterborough Ontario, and I wanted to share my experience with you from an on farm perspective. I have been gifted the opportunity to work with @lunar.rhythm.gardens on 100 acres of certified organic produce, the cattle are grass fed, and finished on a small amount of wheat, rye, & barley, hay & veggies. As well as offering a limited amount of grass fed beef pre-ordered. They work with intensity, grit, passion, and love on their animals. They do their best to provide the best life possible for their animals, and even keep track of their soil quality and address its nutritional needs as needed. They really care for the community they serve and it’s a big reason why they do what they do. Farming organically works with mother nature not against it, and it provides nutrient rich foods that help nurture your gut microbiome. This is why it is imperative that you get to know your farmers, and actually understand where your food comes from. We are extremely disconnected from this aspect in society because the convenience of grocery stores. It’s time we get back to human nature, connect with our community farmers, and have more appreciation of our food. After all both plants and animals give up their life so that we can sustain ours! Much love everyone 💚. P.S. if you’re in the area you should come see the bull they have here! his name is Oreo and he’s freaking awesome! #organicfarming #supportlocalfarmers #farmersmarket #holisticnutrition #knowyourfoodsource

I wanted to make a video describing a little of what you will experience when you go through our Self Mastery Method! You will get diet and lifestyle questions to help us understand where your health and stress load are and how we can improve it. You will learn to connect with your body. This is imperative for you to be able to understand how your body talks with you. When you are more connected to yourself you begin to have higher awareness levels around what feels good to you and what doesn’t when it comes to your diet, lifestyle habits, people, and places you choose to consume. You will get diet log templates that help you identify how the food you are eating affects your energy, motivation, and cognitive function. You can then make alternative food choices to bring you closer to your goals without pain, inflammation, and mental fog. You will also get an exclusive cabinet clean out checklist. This is important because once you start identifying what food works well for you and what food doesn’t, you will clean your entire cabinet, fridge, and pantry of all the food that brings you down and replace it with foods that give you authentic energy. Those are just a few of the things we packed into this life changing course! Sign up for our Self Mastery Method waitlist! When you do this step you are investing in yourself.

🚨Did you know 60% of working Americans report feeling like they don’t have much energy left by noon, & 49% of working Canadians report feeling low energy and exhausted after their day is done? That is a big problem… Half of the working people in each country’s population have low energy! I used to treat my low energy with soda, energy drinks, candy, ice cream, sweet cakes, you name it. I kept feeling worse and had mood swings, I was quick to anger the more I medicated in that way. I chose to take responsibility for my health and fine a healthy alternative for overcoming low energy.

If you’re struggling with low energy, stress, anxiety, and body aches, here’s what you need to do: 1: start properly hydrating yourself! Drink about 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water a day, this ensures you properly hydrated. Dehydration affects your metabolism, energy, mood, and cognitive function. Drink more water. 2: Start a diet log for 10 days. This will give you insight on how the food you are eating directly impacts your mood, emotions, energy levels, pain, cognitive function, decision making, etc. locate foods that you see bringing you down and not building you up, and find alternatives. 3: sign up for our Self Mastery Method waitlist!

Photo dump of what had been happening in my world over the last few weeks.

🏆 It’s time for Client wins! I am so proud of my clients progress through their program with me. This is what we have accomplished in just 11 sessions! ✅The before and after assessment photos you see above are results based on what my clients overall health, stress load, happiness, digestion, and many other key lifestyle factors were in playing a roll in his life, and how he was experiencing it. He had muscle and joint pain in his low back, shoulder, and elbow. He also was experiencing inflammation, mental fatigue and a slight negative mindset, among other symptoms. ✅My client came into my coaching with goals looking to- “ become a better husband”, “minimize sugar consumption”, “make a career shift”, and reduce pain and stress in his body, and life. All of which he has achieved. By session 5 his low back pain was gone, and his elbow pain was improving, and he was breaking through limiting beliefs that had held him back when achieving his goals. Fast forward to today, he is feeling energized, motivated, confident, and is experiencing less body pain, mental sabotage, and fatigue. ✅Through his implementation of shifting his mindset, becoming more aware of what foods work and don’t work with his body, learning to communicate in regards to sharing and listening with his partner, and people he works with, dialing in his sleep and movement routine, he has seen great improvement. Clearly seen between these two photos, is just one of many examples of how investing in yourself is loving yourself. Self love is Putting yourself first, and being clear on your core values, boundaries, and goals. When you show up to the work that will bring you closer to your dreams and goals, it’s not a matter of if you will achieve them, it’s when. ✅ So if you are ready to see these results in your life turn on my post notification as @kirsti & I have something big coming soon! Much love, Mickel 💚. #busypeople #energy #confidence #consistency #sefmastery #lowenergy #consistency #motivation #stress #burnout #fatigue #positivepeople #sefmastery

Unpopular opinion time! Success in anything never happens overnight, especially when setting and achieving your goals. No matter how badly you want it, it takes consistency, and discipline, and you are not always going to be motivated to show up. If you are overweight and want to lose some of it, you have to understand that it won’t melt off just by you thinking about losing weight. It took a slow build up of time for that weight to add up, it will take time for it to come off as well. You have to take action steps and set goals that are realistic for you to achieve. You then have to stay disciplined in those action steps you take. If you have low energy or motivation in general, again that didn’t just magically appear, it took time where you made choices in life that led you down this road. Achieving your goals can be challenging, and with the support, and guidance from the right coach, mentors, or close friends, it is possible. Much love, Mickel 💚. #busypeople #energy #confidence #consistency #sefmastery #lowenergy #consistency #motivation #stress #burnout #fatigue #positivepeople #sefmastery
