I recently read Good Energy by Casey Means and if you get the chance to read or listen to it, I highly recommend it! The inspiration behind this month’s challenge came straight from its pages.

Strength is my specialty, but I know there’s so much more that goes into truly feeling your best, especially in midlife. When we feel better, we move better. We have more energy to lift, walk, live, and thrive.

That’s why I started creating these monthly challenges: to help you focus on different aspects of your health in a simple, manageable way. I didn’t get where I am today by changing my entire lifestyle overnight. I started with one habit, stuck with it, and built from there. Real change isn’t a one-week fix, it’s a lifelong process.

For June, we’re focusing on gut health and I’m especially excited because I’ve been wearing a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) for the past three weeks (one more to go!). What I’ve learned? While movement and strength training can help lower blood sugar levels and improve glucose uptake by muscles, your gut health is also deeply connected to your metabolic health. A healthy gut microbiome helps regulate glucose, impacting how your body processes sugar and maintains stable energy levels.

This month, I’m focusing on increasing my fiber intake to support gut health and help stabilize my insulin levels.

What will you focus on?

Your Challenge:

Pick Just One & Stick With It!

Small, mindful changes can lead to big improvements in how you feel. Adjust as needed and make it work for YOU! Let me know which one you’re focusing on this month. 🧡
