I get asked all the time:
👉 “What do you actually do?”
Not the theory.
Not the long explanations.
Not the long explanations.
Just real life.
So this is it.
This is what I come back to over and over… because it helps my body.
First—How I Eat
I follow a ketovore way of eating.
Not because it’s trendy.
Because it works for me.
Because it works for me.
👉 When I stay here, my inflammation is minimal.
For me, that looks like:
- mostly animal-based foods
- simple meals
- lower carb without overthinking it
When I drift away?
👉 I feel it.
When I come back?
👉 my body settles down again.
Morning: Water, Sunshine, Then Coffee
Before anything else…
👉 I go outside with my water.
- 15–30 minutes of morning sunshine
- mineral-rich water in hand
This helps:
- wake up my system
- support hormones
- hydrate the right way
Then I have my coffee.
But not just plain coffee.
I add:
- butter
- collagen
- creatine
So instead of a spike and crash…
👉 I get steady energy and support for my body.
Opening My Lymphatic System
Still in the morning, I do this daily:
👉 open my lymphatic points with a little of my essential oil infused massage oil.
Then:
👉 10 minutes on a low-speed vibration plate
This helps:
- move fluid
- reduce that “stuck” feeling
- support circulation
Hydration + Minerals (All Day)
I don’t just drink water.
👉 I drink mineral-rich water 3–4 times a day
And I:
- salt my food to taste
Because this supports:
- lymph movement
- proper hydration
- overall balance
Protein (Very Intentional)
I aim for:
👉 about 0.8 grams per pound of ideal body weight in protein
Because:
- muscle supports metabolism
- protein supports repair
- helps keep me steady
Movement: Daily Flow
Every day I keep it simple:
👉 100–200 rebounding “health bounces”
Just enough to:
- move lymph
- keep things flowing
I also do self lymphatic massage regularly.
Nothing complicated.
Just helping my body move what it already needs to move.
Afternoon: More Active Movement
Later in the day, I’ll get back on my vibration plate…
But this time it’s more active:
👉 squats
👉 arm movements
👉 using my upper body as much as I can
👉 arm movements
👉 using my upper body as much as I can
This helps:
- circulation
- muscle engagement
- moving lymph from the arms and upper body
Strength + Resistance (At Least 2x a Week)
This has become really important for me.
👉 at least 2 times a week, I focus on strength and resistance training
Nothing extreme.
But intentional.
Because:
- muscle supports metabolism
- helps with structure and stability
- supports long-term health with lipedema
Hormone + Nervous System Support
This is part of my daily rhythm.
Morning:
- SclarEssence
Night:
- Progesterone
This supports:
- hormone balance
- nervous system
- overall stability
Magnesium + Calm Support
I also use:
- magnesium
- GABA
Because:
👉 calming the nervous system helps calm inflammation
Liver Support
Before bed:
👉 Longevity oil over my liver
Supporting:
- detox pathways
- hormone processing
Evening: Gentle Movement + Worship
At night, I slow things down.
Sometimes:
👉 gentle vibration plate
Nothing intense.
Just light movement…
And honestly, this is also my time to:
👉 praise Jesus
Arms up.
Gratitude.
Letting my body settle.
Gratitude.
Letting my body settle.
Weekly Support
Sauna (At Least Once a Week)
👉 helps circulation
👉 supports detox pathways
👉 helps me relax
👉 supports detox pathways
👉 helps me relax
And I feel the difference when I stay consistent.
My Hydration Guideline
I aim for:
👉 about half my body weight in ounces of mineral-rich water daily
What I’ve Learned
This isn’t about doing everything perfectly.
It’s about:
👉 doing the right things consistently
👉 doing the right things consistently
When I stay in this rhythm:
- inflammation stays lower
- my body feels less tender
- energy is more steady
- things flow better
If You’re Overwhelmed
Start simple:
👉 clean up food
👉 add minerals
👉 move your body
👉 add minerals
👉 move your body
Then build from there.
Final Thought
This is what works for me.
Not perfect.
Not complicated.
Not complicated.
Just consistent.
And that consistency?
👉 that’s where the change happens
