Gearing up for something new.... | Judith C. Labert
Ok friends. 

I am trying something new. A challenge and this one could be very significant for me. 

See, although I have done quite well with reversing my chronic fatigue and now my symptoms are mostly in remission (the fatigue is still a struggle some days), my biggest battle is to combat my weight and insulin resistance. Pretty much everything else is balanced in my body and there is no reason that we can pinpoint as to why my body is resisting shedding weight. Sleep has been a HUGE priority for the past 3 years so, while it is not perfect, it is much better. I really enjoy sleeping now! ;) 

So, I am going to jump into doing a WHOLE30 for at least 30 days to see if this will create a bigger shift in my body. Perhaps I can finally bust through this plateau! *Crossing fingers* 

Who has done the WHOLE30 diet? Did you have any success? I want to hear your experience! 


Why Whole30? 

I mean, if you know me, I am pretty solid on my eating. I do have some sugar here and there and the occasional dairy. but generally I stay away from most grains (pastas and breads) and I am minimal already on all the "bad" things. BUT... those small things may be enough to create a big enough impact. 

What Exactly is Whole30? 

Whole30 is a nutritional program that is designed to help you eat healthier by eliminating "trigger" foods. These are foods that may be causing an inflammatory or autoimmune response in the body. The goal is to go for 30 days, long enough for the body to respond, by cutting out all grains, legumes, soy, dairy, alcohol, added sugars, artificial sweeteners and processed foods.It is focusing on vegetables, fruits, eggs, quality meats and fish, nuts, seeds and healthy fats. When you rid your body of all the things that create cravings and inflammation in the body,  our bodies respond as the junk is cleared out, helping us feel more energetic, less bloated, and more! (so we hope!) 

Here is a great article to learn more: 

My biggest challenge anytime I implement a change in eating, I sometimes have issues when I fail to plan. Seems obvious but I am not much of a planner. Especially with meal planning. This is one area that I have never done well and I envy the people who put together a weekly dinner plan! That is a skill I am not sure I will ever aquire! 

Anywho... I am gearing up to get rolling! What tips do you have for me?

Below are two books that I am excited to check out to help me on my success... Maybe you could use them too! Any others you want to add to my list?
Give me your tips and tricks and feedback if you have done Whole30! Hit reply and let me know your successes.... and challenges. :) AND if you want to join me on this journey, message me! I would love to build an accountability group. <3

Meet Judith C. Labert

 
Hello! Welcome
Thanks so much for coming by! 

I used to be a body builder and gym-nut- But the "perfect storm" of events ended up disrupting my physical, mental and emotional health, creating imbalanced hormones, weight gain and a loss of self. I have struggled with Chronic Fatigue and negative emotions, such as self-loathing. Through my own journey, coupled with my professional training, I have learned many tools like the power of using Conscious Language and have expanded my knowledge about how emotions and language impact the body, how our environment contributes to our health and the body's well being, and how mindset matters! As I have improved my health and regained my sense of self, I am now on a mission! In this world, with all the emotional (and physical!) pains, I commit myself to helping other's learn and grow to be better, healthier versions of themselves. I am always learning about how to live a plant based, non toxic, chemical free life so that we can live out best lives!!

 As a professional, I am a licensed Mental Health/Art Therapist and Certified Life Coach. I work with a lot of folks who experience various degrees of trauma and anxiety. I value the amazing tools that I have learned-and continue to learn- that are effective in helping the clients I serve! I am an art therapist and I use aroma and apply a variety of integrative approaches in a holistic model with all my clients. I am a Christian practitioner and believe in the power of faith and in the capabilities of the amazing bodies we live in!

 
In my therapy practice, I specialize in trauma and addiction, as well as being a Registered Art Therapist. I work with kids of all ages, including adults! I Love using various products and techniques to support my system within my own health and wellness journey and am passionate about incorporating a holistic approach with my clients to better support them in their journey.


As a holistic practitioner, a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider and Certified Mental Wellness Coach, I often suggest a variety of product recommendations for my friends, family and clients.  This education provides another tool to help in my supporting you to Live Your Best Life... 
I offer an intro health assessment to those looking for answers to help decide what is the best direction and fit for your needs. I am a Certified Aroma Freedom PractitionerCertified Emotion and Body Code Practitioner and a Certified Oola Life Coach and Mental Wellness Coach- so no matter what your struggle is, I have tools that can help you set goals, support wellness, build your faith and help you find purpose in your life! 

Personally....
I am still healing (it is an on-going journey of health) but am thriving more each day that passes. I am now an International Best Selling Author, as some of my story was published in a book collaboration that was published October 2021! I am a mom of two girls and a wife, a fitness lover and beach explorer. I enjoy a variety of music and love road trips. I wear Chacos and tank tops every day possible! I grew up in Wyoming but love living in the milder climate of Southern Oregon. I lam happy in warm weather and at the beach. I support my husband in his Art and Automotive Restoration business and in his hobby of restoring a '57 Oldsmobile. We are looking forward to taking it on a cross country trip in it when it is complete! We both cherish family and enjoy sharing new experiences together.

 I am excited for you to join me on this journey!
xoxo ~Judith
