Don’t Diet! Unleash the Power of an Anti-inflammatory Strategy

Transforming My Health: Unleashing the Power of Anti-Inflammatory Foods”

Are you ready to join me on a journey towards vibrant, pain-free living? It’s time for us to explore the incredible potential of anti-inflammatory foods together. Welcome to my blog, where I’m excited to inspire you to embrace a healthier, more energized version of yourself.

The Hidden Power of Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Let’s talk about inflammation—a term we often hear but may not fully understand in terms of its impact on our health. In simple terms, inflammation is our body’s natural response to injuries or infections. It’s our way of healing and defending ourselves. However, when inflammation becomes chronic, lurking beneath the surface, it can quietly erode our well-being.

Chronic inflammation is the silent culprit behind various health issues, from heart diseases and strokes to persistent pain and autoimmune conditions. It’s a sneaky enemy that can chip away at our vitality and longevity. But guess what? We have the power to fight back, to transform our health, and to thrive.

Anti-Inflammatory Foods: My Essential Friends on My Wellness Journey

Imagine a plate bursting with vibrant, colorful foods—leafy greens, berries, and fatty fish. These are not just ingredients but my essential friends in my battle against chronic inflammation. They hold the deeper secrets and promise of a healthier, more energetic me. Let’s be real, isn’t that what we all want!?? SAY YES to energy, a healthy pain free body and to be fully functional to do what we want to do every day…right?

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These are my heroes, supporting my heart, brain, and eye health while reducing inflammation. Salmon, sardines, trout, and herring are my secret weapons. When there is a day where I don’t get Omega-3 rich food, I use a supplement to ensure I get this EVERY day.

Leafy Greens: Spinach, kale, collards, arugula, and lettuce aren’t just salads; they’re my inflammation fighters, adding vibrancy to my meals and zing to my life. And I make them delicious by creating my own homemade balsamic vinegar dressings with natural spices and healthy oils shaken in…yumm 🙂

Berries: Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries burst with antioxidants and natural chemicals that reduce inflammation and boost my overall well-being. When we eat these foods – even in small amounts, it satisfies the sugar cravings and gives us so much more energy for our exercise and activities! For me, it’s energy for my running training (yikes! The 10 km race is coming up Oct 15!)

Spices and Herbs: Turmeric, ginger, cinnamon—(oh and onions…lol) these flavorful additions to my meals do more than tantalize my taste buds. They reduce inflammation and add taste and color to my health journey. I even use extra turmeric supplements as well as add extra cinnamon on my special green power porridge :).

Steering Clear of Inflammatory Culprits

While incorporating anti-inflammatory foods into our diet is crucial, it makes sense to also avoid inflammatory culprits. If we choose to reduce inflammation in our body then we need to do BOTH things. 1. Add in anti-inflammatory foods and 2. get RID of the pro-inflammatory culprits!! These culprits include:

  • Sugar and processed foods: The sweet stuff and packaged snacks increase inflammation and pave the way for chronic diseases.
  • Refined carbohydrates: White bread, pasta, and rice—these refined carbs cause blood sugar spikes and inflammation.
  • Saturated and trans fats: Think bacon, butter, and fried foods—these fats are linked to inflammation and heart disease. and processed meats linked to types of cancers.
  • Artificial additives: Preservatives and dyes in packaged foods can lead to inflammation and even impact our mental health.

Practical Steps on Your Wellness Journey

Incorporating an anti-inflammatory way of eating into my life was simpler than I thought. Here are some actionable steps I used:

  1. Plan Ahead: Preparing meals in advance helps me easily incorporate anti-inflammatory foods into my diet. I plan ahead on Sundays for each week.
  2. Cook at Home: By cooking simple, whole-ingredient based meals at home, I have control over what goes into my body. As a rule, I do not eat out. There are ways to keep eating out healthy though… if you want more tips on this, let me know!
  3. Keep it Colorful: Loading my plate with a rainbow of fruits, vegetables, and spices ensures I get various nutrients. I also make sure I have a clean protein source with every snack and meal. (eggs are awesome!!) …..this is essential to maintain the body, feed the brain, immune system, heal and strengthen muscles after exercise etc…

The Gut-Brain Connection in My Journey

Did you know that my gut health plays a significant role in our mental well-being? A healthy gut produces “happy chemicals” and essential nutrients for my brain. Did you know that!? Anti-inflammatory foods promote a balanced gut and contribute to mental clarity and overall vitality! Avoiding those pro-inflammatory foods also saves your gut from being ruined!

Anti-Inflammatory Foods for My Active Lifestyle

Whether I’m an athlete striving for peak performance or seeking more energy daily, our food matters. What we put into our body can significantly impact energy levels and endurance. Yes, the type of food and calories we eat DOES matter!!

I choose anti-inflammatory foods like raw, unsalted nuts, berries, seeds, and omega-3-rich options to fuel my active lifestyle and boost my daily zip. positivity and energy.

How to Find Time for Your Health

Prioritizing Your Health: Your Path to a Happier, Healthier You– get off that Hamster Wheel!!

I. Introduction

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, we often forget the one thing that should always come first—our health. It’s time to change that. Welcome to a journey of self-discovery and transformation, where we’ll explore the art of prioritizing your health and well-being.

We live in a world where time is precious, but the truth is, there’s no better investment than the one you make in yourself. By the end of this blog post, you’ll not only understand why making time for health is crucial but also have the tools to start prioritizing it right away.

II. Why We Need to Make Time for Health

Consequences of Neglecting Health: The consequences of neglecting our health can be far-reaching. It’s not just about feeling tired or gaining a few extra pounds. It’s about a diminished quality of life, missed opportunities, and the risk of chronic diseases. Your health isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity.

Benefits of a Healthy Lifestyle: On the flip side, embracing a healthy lifestyle is a game-changer. Picture this: boundless energy, improved mood, enhanced productivity, and a longer, more fulfilling life. It’s not a dream; it’s the reality of those who prioritize their health.

III. How to Make Time for Health

A. Prioritize Your Health: The first step is shifting your mindset. Stop seeing health as something on your to-do list and start viewing it as a non-negotiable part of your daily routine. Remember, you are worth the effort.

B. Create a Health Schedule: Planning is your best friend when it comes to health. From scheduling your workouts to planning your meals, having a structured daily routine ensures you make time for what matters most—your well-being.

C. Efficient Workouts: No time for long gym sessions? No problem. We’ll show you quick and effective workouts that you can squeeze into your busy day. From desk exercises to lunchtime walks, every little bit counts.

D. Meal Planning: Meal planning isn’t just about eating healthier; it’s about saving time and money. Discover how to prepare nutritious meals efficiently, so you can nourish your body without stress.

E. Mindfulness and Stress Reduction: Your mental health and physical well-being are closely intertwined. Learn how mindfulness practices can reduce stress, boost resilience, and help you stay on track with your health goals.

IV. Staying Consistent

Consistency is the secret sauce to success in prioritizing your health. Its important to explore why you have challenges you might face and provide and in my 8-week reset program I work with you to learn the basics, shift mindset with hypnosis and give you motivation and strategies to help you stay the course. Remember, every small step counts.

V. Conclusion

In conclusion, your health should never take a back seat in your life. It’s not about finding time; it’s about making time. Prioritizing your health is an investment in your present and future self. So, what are you waiting for? Start today, and let your journey to a happier, healthier you begin. Your body and mind will thank you for it.

Breaking the Masculine Armour (AKA the Tough Shell)

An 8-Week Journey to Your True Self through a health challenge?


Title:
Embracing Your Authentic Self: How I Shed My Masculine Armor

Unveiling the Layers

Hey there,

I wanted to take a moment to share a personal journey with you – a journey of transformation, healing, and discovering the power of discovering my true self buried underneath a shell. I’m no different from you – I’ve faced my own struggles, and it’s these experiences that led me to uncover a remarkable truth about myself.

Breaking Free from Childhood Shadows

From a young age, I learned to put on a tough exterior. It’s like I built this protective shell, my “masculine armour,” to shield myself from the pain of past experiences. The proverbial vow…. “NEVER again will I allow this” …But as I grew older, I realized that this armour, meant to protect me, was holding me back.

I carried these defense mechanisms into adulthood, affecting my relationships, self-image, and overall happiness. It wasn’t until I took a closer look at my past that I understood how childhood trauma had shaped my beliefs about strength and vulnerability.

The Turning Point: Peeling Away the Armor

One day, a thought struck me: What if true strength wasn’t about hiding behind a facade but embracing who I really am? That was the moment when I decided to peel away those layers of armour and reveal my authentic self. It wasn’t easy – it required self-awareness, courage, and a commitment to healing.

Mind and Body: A Powerful Connection

I found that focusing on both my mind and body was the key to unlocking this transformation. By nurturing my mental health and digging deep into my subconscious beliefs (think hypnosis!), I started to unravel the roots of my armour. But it wasn’t until I made a profound connection that I truly began to see change.

The Epiphany: Health as the Foundation

Our bodies are remarkable vessels, intricately and delicately linked to our emotional well-being. I realized that by working on my health, I was not only peeling away layers of armour but also revealing a brighter, more vibrant version of myself. This journey wasn’t just about shedding the past – it was about creating a healthier and powerful future by design.

Its important to remember that, more often than not, this hard ‘masculine shell’ keeps you from fully experiencing the beauty of life. It can be absolutely exhausting, and let me tell you – It doesn’t have to be that way! There is power in vulnerability, strength in softness. It’s okay to let down that masculine guard. It’s okay to be human.

Imagine navigating your life without constantly having to put on a brave face or mask of toughness. Imagine not having to work SO HARD to be that “high achiever” you perceive yourself as. Picture yourself feeling peaceful, joyful, and loved without condition. Not having to always be the tough one could feel so liberating, wouldn’t it? Here’s the amazing news: you don’t just have to imagine it, you can live it. This transformation is possible.

The Transformation: Reclaiming My Feminine Power

As I embraced my authentic self, I discovered the power of my feminine energy. This wasn’t about conforming to societal expectations, but about embodying qualities that resonate with my true essence. Through self-acceptance, I found a newfound sense of freedom and joy that came from inside me! This self-acceptance was NOT easy as I had deeply ingrained negative and limiting beliefs about the feminine – – that it was weak, pathetic, and useless – – which had to be overcome! I didn’t want to be any of those things, so changing my beliefs about what feminine energy and its essence is was critical to my transformation. By the way, the Icelandic goddess Frejya has been my alter ego to work towards living into….a very powerful divine feminine!

Empowerment through Connection

My story is a testament to the fact that transformation doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s about reaching out, seeking guidance, and allowing others to support your journey. If you’re ready to peel away your own layers of armour (that tough and independent chick shell) and discover the beauty within, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Take the First Step: Your Health Journey

Are you yearning for a life filled with health, energy, peace, and joy? Are you eager to break free from the chains of your past and step into who you truly are? I invite you to join me on a transformative journey where we prioritize health as the foundation for change.

Let’s work together to peel away those layers, find your true potential, balance your hormones, achieve your ideal body, and find happiness and peace like you’ve never experienced before.

Reach Out Today

Don’t wait any longer to peel away limiting layers to find your authentic self.

If you’re ready to start your journey, feel free to email me at support@dianegudmundson.com for a personalized conversation about your goals and dreams. Ask me how I can guide you towards holistic transformation.

Remember, you have the power within you to shed your armour, reveal your true self, and live a life filled with passion, purpose, and joy. Let’s go on this inspiring journey together.

With love and encouragement, your ally and advocate in health and transformation

LIFESTYLE RESET

Lifestyle RESET time!  HIIT kicks it off!
Feeling HAPPY to have made a real decision to kick off a new lifestyle RESET plan….

GOING DOWN MEMORY LANE FOR ME TODAY…..THIS IS A BLOG POST I DID FROM A FEW YEARS AGO THAT NEVER GOT POSTED….JUST WOW! REMINDS ME OF ALL THE TIMES I DID LIFE RESETS AND REMINDS ME WHY I DEVELOPED THE 8-WEEK RESET FOR OTHERS!!

MY OLD POST: SOUND FAMILIAR?

With all of the major changes in my life the last several months, it has thrown my lifestyle patterns for a bit of a loop. However, I woke up mad today and determined to hit the RESET button both mentally and physically and implement a new and solid plan. I have also been working with coach to allow me to “BE” the kind of person that is successful innately which will take far less effort on my part! (I have realized this is the secret sauce!)

My career and life in many MAJOR areas has taken new paths all in a very short time and I am starting to feel the pressure of it all and getting cranky! Yes this tells me it is time for a complete reset!

My hormones were out of whack, my digestion was not working well, was feeling moody, sleeping and eating patterns are way off, I am feeling more tired and unfocused in the daytime, some nights I don’t sleep at all, and my weight has crept up by far too many pounds. Hmmmm ??

The great thing is that my internal drive and determination is powerful and I am a coachable person. When I put my mind to something, I know it’s going to happen.

To start with, My reset plan includes a commitment to a new workout plan, intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting cycles, more fruits and vegetables and clean proteins. This is just one of many reset plans I am putting into place immediately and I instantly feel less cranky knowing that this WILL happen.

I am also going to wok at helping others to design their reset plans, which gives me even more motivation. I absolutely LOVE helping others be successful in health and life. Being a coach is something I have always done, both formally and informally.

Enjoy your Sunday and have a wonderful week!

Today, I kicked off my new reset plan with 30 min HIIT training with Chalene and wow it feels good! ? Now time to plan out the kickstart health reset program I am creating for others!

Granny has Good Reasons (So it keeps her going!)

Persistence pays off…..its easier to stay persistent through the tough times with a strong reason

Pushing through those tired and challenging days is worth it when you start to notice the increase strength and progress in muscle development.  In only 6 weeks, I progressed from 20 lb ea hand dumbbells doing a lat row to 30 lb in ea hand!   ..and it felt difficult but amazing afterwards!   My back was feeling so pumped up, it was time to capture that in a pic ???. Gotta love progress!!?

 

Persistence certainly pays off and when it comes to health…it’s worth the work!  My goal is to be an active and healthy Granny for my grandkids and not get prematurely old and out of shape…my reasons to be healthy are what pull me along even on the most challenging and tired days!  Let’s GO!

Its time to work on your health, lose excess weight and get stronger!!  The time is NOW!

To get started, CONTACT ME now!

Challenge yourself physically and mentally (Run!)

Got up early to do some more training today. Holy crap it was super tough to get through it today, but I got it done and am now proud of myself for pushing through those tough moments and finishing!

Running is so tough …especially in the training phases where you have to really push past the comfort zone to get better, build endurance and get faster! It’s in those tough moments that I wish I had kept running all year.  Out of all exercise, I find that running takes the most mental toughness.   When you stop training, it doesn’t take long to lose all you have gained… gotta keep running all year from now on ?

Running is a great way to lose weight too…you burn a LOT of calories in a short time!

Have yourself an awesome day!  …if you are looking for a challenge, give running a try! ?

Life is like that (but loving my workout partner)

This mornings yoga cardio was topped off by a little participant during the final stretch. Feels great to have him close and he boosts my motivation!

This boy was the big reason why I shifted and realized my health had to be #1 in the first place! I had decided 3 years ago that if I was going to be a Granny, that I better pick up the pace and get into shape! I wanted to be a fun and energetic granny that can run, play soccer, travel and enjoy life with the grandkids and not be old and sick in a chair.

Being on a structured program that taught me better nutrition habits and gave me hundreds of fun and effective workout options was great! I dropped 40 pounds at that time and WOW what a difference in how I felt. I had a little falling off this year with work stress and an illness, but I am back at it and feeling much better!

Life is like that, isn’t it? Get thrown curve balls, challenges …like life has to test you… to see how you react. ?

Regardless, I am so happy I am back on track and feeling happy and positive and energy is climbing! I have my little sidekick here to smile and cheer me in which helps too!
???

Have a wonderful Monday!!

 

Loss of self-belief is destructive (I did it to myself)

Little did I know, everything I needed was always inside me!
Little did I know, everything I needed was always inside me!

I really did it this time.   Putting myself on the back-burner and focusing on developing a new business to help others with their medical care.   For months, I was not focused on my health or fitness whatsoever, had huge stress at work (the JOB) and ended up sick with pneumonia and 20 lb heavier.   YUP, not smart.

I started a new business back in March 2017 with a focus on providing medical services to clients in their homes or offices and even through telemedicine.   It was super fun and I was VERY focused on getting people the care they needed with top notch quality.   I found out that when I took my focus off my health at the same time, I ended up on a downward spiral with my health that just kept getting worse.    I was snacking more to keep awake, I was sleeping less, drinking more caffeine, too tired to get up in the morning to work out, just a vicious cycle I was in and could not snap out of it even though I was feeling crappy and knew what I needed to do.

I had a lot of stress at my “JOB”, since, when I started a private medical service in March, there was bullying that took place and, even though I knew I could not work in that environment, I hung onto it because of seniority and the fact that I could retire with my magic 80 after only 5 years!    It kept me going, but only hanging on by a thread.   I was working hard to stay positive, but the bullying got worse and even continued once i resigned from the position.   I felt strong through it all, but once it was over, I felt a heavy weight on me that held me down and made me believe less in myself overall.   I realized after it was all over that I really should have resigned MUCH sooner!

My Pneumonia knocked me flat for 6 weeks in July and August 2017 (which was likely from significant stress from work that had knocked out my immune system)…after that, my energy would just not come back at all.  My digestive system was shot, I had no energy at all, my whole body was sore and I started to feel demotivated and depressed.   Now that I am looking back, I can see what a horrible state I was in, yet I just kept going and helping others since that was the only thing I felt good about.

My mental and physical health seemed to be on a continual downer over September and October as I was not consistently exercising, was still sore all over and was just not sleeping well.  I was really feeling rotton and had no belief in myself at all!    I felt that the only thing that made me worth anything was to provide excellent care to my patients…   It  was fine when I was out on the road seeing patients, I laughed and smiled and enjoyed my work, but when I would get home, its like reality would hit again and I would feel down, and eat crappy food again.

I had booked an event to see Tony Robbins in November (UPW) earlier in the year and was not even excited about going to that.   Before I left, I was trying to pump myself up and feel good about it, but I was feeling guilty about not being available for housecalls while I was away, and just didn’t feel happy.   While at the event, I felt hope creeping back and the intense work we did at the seminar to rediscover the belief in ourself was helping me to re-discover that everything we need to have a happy and fulfilling life is right in side us already.  It is just a matter of finding it and expressing it.   Well, I felt my positive energy climbing and totally participated and did the work.   It felt awesome!

Then, we came home and I felt bloated and icky from all the eating out and snacks…so I weighed myself and realized I had packed on 8 pounds in just one week while i was away.   This really sent the belief in myself down the tubes again.  I felt tired, gross and my whole body hurt.   I made a decision to do a 10-day complete nutrition reset 3 days ago.   I got rid of all snack foods and unhealthy bits from the house and was eating only veggies, healthy proteins and fruits.    The first 2 days of this were very difficult!  I was so tempted to quit because of the severe headaches and body pains i was having.

However, I woke up this morning and could NOT believe how much clearer my mind was!  I was able to get up, do a HIIT workout and then did 30 min of YOGA which was super tough, but I felt a strength inside me that I really could do it!!   I was feeling belief in myself coming back which was very powerful!      It was this morning that I truly realized the power of self-belief and with my renewed energy, am feeling that I will be truly unstoppable from now on.   I decided I will never let myself get sucked into that stress vortex again without exiting PROMPTLY from the situation for my own health.   Sometimes we make excuses for not leaving such as we “need the money” or “don’t want to lose our seniority”….bah to that.   I left 27000 seniority hours and Magic 80 retirement plan behind.   To heck with it.  Being stuck in a stressful scenario is VERY destructive to our health and I was on that downward spiral myself, so I know how it feels!  I could hardly stand myself being like that, but could not snap out of it.

If you are feeling stuck and stressed and not believing in yourself…. seriously, consider doing a nutrition reset for yourself, get OUT of the stressful situation(s) you are in (get out quickly, do not wait!) and just feel the positive energy start to flow.   The belief in yourself will naturally start to happen!  Ask me if you need help with this!

I am feeling very encouraged today and ready to start sharing my health journey again with a new start and I hope that you will continue to follow me and learn from my mistakes.   We are human and do make far too many mistakes, but as long as we learn from them, we are still growing as a person.   Just KNOW that everything you need to have a happy and fulfilled life is inside you RIGHT NOW.

I am going to start today by re-educating myself on the key tips to achieve SELF DISCIPLINE.  I have put a copy HERE for you as well!

 

 

September, A Great Time for Change

img_4410

I got a great sweat on this morning with a yoga and Pilates continuous movement combination work out… It was really tough but I felt great and was dripping sweat afterwards… I never really thought that I would enjoy this type of exercise, but I’m finding out that it is really improving my health and I’m totally loving it!!

September is approaching and I don’t know about you, but I find September is a great time of year to start new things, develop my knowledge, and get creative by implementing new things into my life. I have always felt this way I guess because September is the start of a new school year and it’s just a great time to start implementing change. Some people get nervous about making changes but it truly is exciting if you make yourself do things outside your comfort zone!

Starting in September, I plan to implement a completely new diet regimen, a new exercise plan, and as well implement a new and exciting career in providing healthcare services with my own business. I am adding this to my already existing health business where I help people with fitness, optimizing their nutrition and lifestyle change as a coach … It is all just very exciting …even though it can be scary at times, I am pushing through the fear!

Make September the decision time to make a change in your life! Take a course! Start a new health plan! Revamp your financial plan! Dig into that relationship you have been afraid to take to the next level! Make a career change! Start a new business!

Do something to make fall time exciting! It makes the transition to winter much easier when you are feeling fulfilled, energized, healthy, happy and passionate about something you love!

FYI… My job as a FREE coach is to help you select the health program that will best help you achieve your goals… Be sure to contact me to discuss!
