For most of my life I was exactly like you

I didn’t put a single thought into what I ate

I didn’t set aside time to get a workout in

I felt like s**t all the time, felt so uncomfortable with my body, hated the way everything looked on me, & was so unhealthy

For most breakfast & lunches I ate white bread with peanut butter

For every beverage of the day I had a glass of Pepsi

And I probably ate more ice cream than I should have almost every single evening

My upbringing was far from “organic, clean, minimally processed”

I didn’t have a lick of knowledge regarding how to put together a workout

I had no idea how to use 90% of the machines in the gym

&& 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙄 𝙃𝘼𝘿 𝙉𝙊 𝙄𝘿𝙀𝘼 𝙒𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀 𝙏𝙊 𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙍𝙏

And probably like many of you there was one day I woke up and decided this wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life

I wanted to feel energized and able bodied

I wanted to fuel my body with food that offered me a long, more fruitful life

I wanted to be able to put clothes on, look in the mirror and say “oooh girl look at you”

𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙣𝙤 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪

I had to make changes and at 15 years old, with an environment that didn’t fuel that goal, it wasn’t easy

I didn’t have tons of my own money to get a gym membership, buy groceries on my own or educate myself on how to move my body

But I started somewhere…

I traded 1 Pepsi at a time for a glass of water

I swapped added some healthy protein in one meal at a time

I found ways to add fruit and veggies to my diet

I started talking walks which lead to runs, which eventually lead to gym workouts with all the machines, dumbbells & equipment I had never used in my entire life

I invested in myself once I did have a job

I made healthy swaps & improved one habit at a time to get me to where I am today

I’m not someone that was brought up in a healthy environment, where making a change was easy…

Healthy eating to reduce endometriosis pain

When Amber came to me she was working out hard 5 days a week

Being SUPERRR strict with her diet

Always struggling with sugar cravings

And on birth control but still dealing with all of the same endometriosis pain

😵‍💫 Bloating
😵‍💫 Debilitating cramping
😵‍💫 Spotting
😵‍💫 Fatigue
😵‍💫 Migraines

The list goes on and on

To say that her endo pain was ruining her quality of life is an understatement

She has been dealing with endo symptoms for over 11 YEARS!!

Constantly feeling like nothing was going to help her feel normal again

Trying everything from 21 day fixes, cutting carbs out, working out 7 days a week

And feeling like she wasn’t allowed to go out and enjoy herself

That’s not a way to live and those habits weren’t going to help her heal that estrogen

So far in her program we:

🫶 focused on balanced meals
🫶 focused on fueling her closer to maintenance calories to allow for optimal healing
🫶 focused on rest days & making room for enjoyment
🫶 supplementation that was right for her hormones & body
🫶 prioritizing high quality foods

Today we are happy to say that Amber has seen significant improvement in her endo pain and able to live a normal life!

If you’re struggling with endo or period pain and don’t know where to start, DM me!

Just lose weight to heal your PCOS...

If only it were that easy

But you try

You work your ass off in the gym until you're drenched in sweat, rundown & exhausted...

You try keto, or intermittent fasting, or whatever bulls**t diet your friend has been doing

She's lost 20 lbs... but not you...

Thanks PCOS

You do this for a month, maybe two and somehow...

Your symptoms are... worse?

You haven't seen your period in months, your hairline is completely unrecognizable and you feel drained even THINKING about doing anything

The problem is that THINKING that weight loss is the answer to all your problems is likely to get you to partake in activities that lead to worsened hormones

So even if you are lucky enough to see that weight loss, it does not grant you the golden ticket to healed & thriving hormones

And those hormones will come right back to bite you in the ass

Likely twice as hard

Losing weight won't fix a s**t diet

Losing weight won't heal your relationship with exercise

Losing weight won't force feed you breakfast

Losing weight won't force you to listen to your body and chill the hell out when you've been running yourself into the ground

The only way that we can truly heal PCOS is to change the behaviors that lead to PCOS in the first place

If you're wanting to HEAL your hormones instead of overlooking the issue at hand, comment "healing" below

Your nutrition & exercise habits don’t mean s**t if you’re not happy deep down

This week Modern Roots clients worked through how we seek attention, appreciation, affection & acceptance from others

And then really explored how we could be giving that to ourselves

I know for so many of us we focus on our hormones, our weight, our nutrition, our workouts, our consistency…

That we miss the biggest piece of the puzzle on our weight loss journey

OUR HAPPINESS

I’m talking about the big s**t

The fact you can’t bear to see yourself naked because you haven’t worked on accepting yourself

The fact that you put everything into helping others but you haven’t taken the time to take care of you because you don’t know HOW to take care of you anymore

The fact that you seek so much approval from everyone else around you so that you aren’t allowing yourself be…. YOU

This one came up for me a lot

Not being “goofy” because I should be a professional business owner that always has her s**t together

Not being happy with my body until society says it’s okay to be happy with my body & “what will other people think of my body?”

Always acting like a put together adult for acceptance from others when all I want to do is act like a silly child and be full of life

Pretending to do “parkour” in public just because the thought of it makes me giggle

Dancing like a fu***ng fool with my best friend without a single thought of “wow I look so fu***ng dumb right now” & SOBER because I get to remember that moment

Singing at the top of my lungs bc this song I’ve played 71938 times is still a fu***ng vibe

Learning new things that make me giddy and not giving a single s**t about how s**tty I am at it - bc it makes my heart happy

That s**t is what creates a well rounded healthy life

And so often we get consumed with the thought that we have to be put together 24/7 or now that we’re 25, 35, 45, 55 that we have to act a certain way or be a certain way

You can either focus all on the external s**t until you’re blue in the face and feel so disconnected from yourself

OR

You can make it a priority on your journey to find your true happiness through accepting yourself

You’re a burden

Your kids need your attention

Your family needs your support

Your husband needs love

Wake up

Skip breakfast while you get the kids ready for school

Chug a coffee on the way to drop them off

Rush home to get ready for work

“I’ll just grab lunch out”

Another coffee down so you can focus to meet this deadline

11 am and you’ve lost all energy

2 pm and “s**t I still haven’t eaten”

Grab a donut in the break room because you don’t have time to get lunch

Finish up your projects at work before rushing out the door to head home

Rush through the door and make a b line straight for the pantry

You’re STARVING

You eat a cookie because it’s most convenient and then a handful of chips

Scrambling to get dinner made and you graze your way to the dinner table

And then you stuff your face some more

You’re smiling on the outside but you’re drowning on the inside

You have lost yourself

Look in the mirror

Really look

Because if you don’t…

you’re going to be 20 more lbs
overweight & struggling to be healthy enough to support your family

Enough is enough

This is your reminder that even with hormone struggles you can get healthier & more confident

Your Walmart mindset is why you’re struggling with the same 20 lbs

You say you’re willing to invest in something that’ll help you reach your goals but you’re lying

You want “high quality results” but without the price tag

You bitch and moan that your $25 thrive shakes didn’t help you lose 20 lbs

You complain that the $20 a month beachbody membership didn’t help you get a flat stomach

& that your $50 supplements didn’t heal your PCOS

You want “high quality results” but you’re not willing to invest in high quality programs

And even though every single one of those trendy “diets” makes you gain more weight after than what you lost, you keep going back to them expecting different results

Would you expect an amazing balayage from a hair dresser that charged $100??

Or a gorgeous set of nails from a back alley salon that charged you $20 for a set?

The answer is no, you wouldn’t

It’s not a money problem

It’s a priority problem

You’re putting $8 lattes and $20 cocktails before your health because it “makes you happy”

Meanwhile you cry every time you look in the mirror, you’re ashamed of your belly fat, and your feel like s**t everyday

What’s worse? Hating yourself or redirecting your spending so you can finally feel confident in your skin again?

If you’re ready to love your body and feel your best comment “love myself” and I’ll reach out to see where I can help

I just want a fat cheesy bowl of pasta right now

Eliminating all of my favorite foods is my worst nightmare

The cheesy pasta, the milkshakes, the baguettes, the fu***ng spicy chicken deluxe sandwich…

F**k me… moscow mules…?

I’m attached to them as if they are my identity

My whole life revolves around these foods

Girls nights = wine & charcuterie

Summer nights = moscow mules & milkshakes

Mountain adventures = an ice cold beer & a fat burrito

Any outing used as an opportunity to shove my face full of all of the glorious, greasy & delicious foods that have ever been invented

I’m living my worst nightmare…

Dairy free

Gluten free

Sugar free

“Sober”

Words I don’t identify with

Words that make me CRINGE

Words that once made me cry, stomp my feet & throw tantrums

Words that COULD have kept me from gaining 15 lbs…

But eliminating those foods is my worst nightmare…

The looks I may get when I order a “mocktail” or say “I’m not drinking tonight”

The eyerolls I’ll see when I say “I can’t eat that, I’m gluten free” … ICK.

What if I miss out..

What if I lose my sense of self..

What if I lose friends…

What if I’m no longer fun..

Or WORSE… what if I … FEEL better….??

What if I lose the weight that I have been holding onto that make me HATE what I see in the mirror

What if I decrease my risk of my precancerous cervical cells progressing to ACTUAL cancer

What if for the first time in my life I become CONFIDENT in myself & my body

What if this discomfort leads to me taking on new challenges & evolving as a person more than I ever thought was possible

What if I have SOOO much energy & confidence that I show up more for the people I care about

& do all of the things that I have DREAMED of doing

What if my worst nightmare ends up being the best thing I’ve ever done for myself & my body?

It’s OKAY for me to mourn the loss of what feels like my identity

Will this be my reality FOREVER, unlikely

Do we sometimes have to do hard s**t to fully heal? For sure

Do YOU need to fully cut out these foods? Totally depends on your situation!

If you’re struggling with your nutrition on your healing journey comment “healing” and I’ll message you

I so badly want to resent my body

To be pi**ed at it for always making me tired

To be annoyed at it for always making me bloated

To be ashamed that it made me gain 10 lbs

To yell at it for not responding to my “clean” diet, exercise routine & healthy habits

To kick and scream because everything I’ve done to help my body, it fights right back

To be mad that after YEARS of physical therapy, chiropractic & massage that it still leaves me in pain… feeling like I’m 80 years old

I want to resent my body…

But I can’t

Because I did this to my body

I created this poor environment for my body

So why wouldn’t it fight back after all these years?

The 5 days a week of HIIT

Trying to burn as many calories as possible

The skipping meals and under-eating

Trying to eat healthy, but also being sooo underprepared at all times

The years of disregarding childhood traumas, emotional & physical stress

The YEARRRRSSS of binge drinking through college and for so long after

Completely disregarding the fact that every single time I even had a few drinks I’d get a headache, my stomach would ache & half the time I’d throw up

I want to resent my body…

But my body is kicking and screaming telling me it needs a change

Constantly sending me signals to slow down and create space to heal

Trying to gently remind me that it deserves better

I want to resent my body, but this time I’ll listen & give her space to heal

2023 is healing szn
