Life is about living life to the fullest and always striving to be a better version of your previous self. It won't be easy and I may stumble but I'll keep pushing forward.
This is something I did recently and I am blown away by the results of this 60 hour reboot. I not only see the results I feel amazing and looking forward to the next one.
I will be doing another reboot again October 1st, looking forward to seeing the results. Anyone want to join me??

Always strive to be the best version of yourself, no matter how many times you stumble

Research has found that some types of fasting may have positive effects on aspects of health like blood sugar control, blood pressure, and inflammation.

The primary physical benefit of intermittent fasting is improvement of metabolic health by lowering insulin resistance. While its effect on insulin levels can promote weight loss – what many people strive for – it can have many other powerful benefits for the body.

Needed some time to take a step back and breathe. Life sometimes kicks you even harder when you are trying to pull yourself back up. The struggle is real and you need to push through even when you think you can’t. Self care and recognizing when you need to step back from people, situations and life in general to be able to pursue better for yourself.

Since getting started on a big task usually seems to be the most difficult part, starting small will help you in the long run. Small goals are more attainable: While small goals may seem insignificant, they are also easier to achieve. Once you've started achieving small goals, you will be more motivated to continue. Start small at first

A resistance to the hormone insulin, resulting in increasing blood sugar.
The hormone insulin helps control the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood. With insulin resistance, the body's cells don't respond normally to insulin. Glucose can't enter the cells as easily, so it builds up in the blood. This can eventually lead to type 2 diabetes.

What are the symptoms of insulin resistance?
Increased thirst.
Frequent urination (peeing).
Increased hunger.
Blurred vision.
Headaches.
Vaginal and skin infections.
Slow-healing cuts and sores.

What causes insulin resistance?
Obesity (being significantly overweight and belly fat), an inactive lifestyle, and a diet high in carbohydrates are the primary causes of insulin resistance. Some women develop insulin resistance while they are pregnant. This is called gestational diabetes. Certain diseases are associated with insulin resistance. That includes heart disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and polycystic o***y syndrome.

Certain risk factors are associated with insulin resistance, including:

A family history of diabetes
A sedentary (not active) lifestyle
Race (especially if you are Black, Hispanic, or Native American)
Age (the older you get, the more your risk increases)
Hormones
Steroid use
Some medicines
Poor sleep habits
Smoking

Insulin resistance treatment
Diet, weight loss, and exercise can improve insulin resistance. However, most people need medicine as well.

You can reduce insulin resistance and this can be achieved by reducing carbohydrate (and protein if you have a high protein diet). Reducing carb intake reduces the amount of insulin circulating in the body and this works to reduce insulin resistance.
