My advice on how to make New Year's resolutions is unconventional. Simply put -- don't make any.

I'm not advocating for you to do nothing. Instead, I think there's something much more powerful that will actually get the job done.

Allow me a moment to explain...

Ditch The New Year's Resolutions & Do This Instead

"Jennifer, how long does it take for ______ to get better?"

And I intentionally approach this question with caution for one specific reason -- the person asking usually wants to assume that my underlying root causes and healing timeline will be the same for them.

That’s not the right way to go about looking at your health and subsequent healing. And frankly, it’s potentially detrimental to your long-term success.

People can have the same symptoms, but have very different underlying root causes.

You can also have the same underlying root causes, but heal at very different rates.

I say this to point out that this is where someone who is chronically ill can get into trouble. It sets an unhealthy expectation based on an unfair comparison.

How To Beat Your Inner Critic, Get Answers & Take Action

Everyone’s stressed out. And I’m willing to bet good money that until now, you’ve probably managed to muscle your way through it. You put on a strong, brave face, right?

I get it… I’ve got plenty of clients who do that daily.

Heck, I’ve used that method myself for many years in the past.

But it really doesn’t help long-term… all it really does is run up a metaphorical loan made of anger, resentment and frustration that eventually comes due.

And we’re often never prepared for when that happens.

It’s usually at the most inconvenient time when you feel like your body and health are betraying you.

How to Make Protein Shakes (You Won't Get Bored Of)

Do food sensitivities make you sick? It’s certainly possible.

There’s a lot of controversy around food sensitivities and if they’re even real!

The reason I bring this topic up today is that in my clinical experience, food sensitivities have been overemphasized. And that ultimately causes some pretty alarming issues, which I hope you can avoid.

Do Food Sensitivities Make You Sick? (Unconventional Advice)

Apparently everyone who’s chronically tired has adrenal fatigue. It’s pretty easy to self-diagnose it thanks to the nearly three million search results for the term on Google.

While I certainly believe in adrenal fatigue (and even had it myself back in 2009), most of my clients who swear they have this issue end up with something else.

It typically comes as a big surprise because everything they’ve read has convinced them that their exhaustion is due to pooped adrenals...

When it's not.

Here's why there's a good chance your fatigue is NOT adrenal fatigue: https://www.glutenfreeschool.com/2018/07/24/adrenal-fatigue/

What if it isn't Adrenal Fatigue? (The Hidden Reason Why Your So Tired)

In my opinion, the term “detoxing” is thrown around way too much.

It seems like every other product released into the marketplace is detoxing something.

But one thing has become quite clear to me → the general public has no idea what it really means to detoxify anything. Nor are most people aware of their body’s innate capability to detoxify on its own.

What's Better - Liver Detox OR Liver Support?

One common thread for clients with hormone issues is post birth control syndrome that can rear it's ugly head years later.

Wait... did you just say post birth control syndrome?

What the heck is that?!?!

It's a very real issue that results from being currently on or having taken birth control pills (BCPs) -- even if it was 10, 15 or 20 years ago!

What most people don't know is that hormones (like estrogen) are detoxified by your liver to be removed from active circulation.

They also don't realize that BCPs essentially shut down communication between your brain and your ovaries.

Because your body is ONE system, that single statement alone should grab your attention.

I know you have good intentions, but we need to talk...

You’re trying so hard to be healthy this holiday season… doing your best to make better choices and eat less junk even though you're addicted to sugar.

With the hopes that after the holidays, you’ll simply start fresh.

But I know you have your doubts about whether you can actually follow through with that in January.

Last year probably didn’t go as planned (especially if you were one of the many who got sick). You didn’t get as far as you had hoped.

But this year’s gotta be better, right?

Well, that all depends on a number of factors that you may be blind to right now.
