Healing is programmed into every cell of your body. Every cell is striving for life. Your body is so intelligent that it never makes a mistake, it simply creates the outcomes that match the information you feed it.... You may not like the outcome but dont be fooled... it is not a mistake! To promote healing you need to gain an understanding of what information you are presenting to your body, mind , spirit. Make the right changes and your health can rapidly change for the better. What is holding back the expression of health in your body? #lifestylemedicine #functionalmedicine #healthyliving #inspiredliving #functionalhealthinstitute #kwawesome #health #healing #life #purpose #love #weightloss #weightlossjourney #transformation #metabolicandlifestylereset #sleep #fitnessmotivation #fitfam #fitnessgoals #fitnesslifestyle #wellness #wellnessjourney

The worst advice I've ever heard is "there is nothing that can be done for that". If you ever hear these words you should translate that into this... "There isn't anything I know of, but I dont know everything"... If you make this translation in your mind you will continue to search to find a solution that works for you. However, if you believe the bad advice it usually is a self fulfilling prophecy. Your mindset and beliefs are more important than you think. Empower yourself by accepting that possibilites are limitless. Believe I or not at one time it was believed to be impossible for someone to run a mile in under 4 minutes..... until someone did it! That shattered the paradigm of conventional thinking which led to many runners achieving the same feat! #mindset #growth #mindfulness #functionalmedicine #lifestylemedicine #rootcausemedicine #stress #inspiredliving #functionalhealthinstitute #kwawesome #wellness #wellnessjourney #weightlosstransformation #healing #transformation #sleep

When people are struggling with health issues there can be a pattern of constantly ringing the 'danger' alarms from one minute to the next. All it takes is a new symptom or a not so good day after a few days of feeling good. The problem with this is that this constant state of alarm keeps us locked in a state of 'fight or flight'. When this happens our bodies also down regulate the very processes we want to increase... the ability to heal.... Taking control of your mind and staying calm is the first skill we need to develop to build health! #functionalhealthinstitute #functionalmedicine #lifestylemedicine #rootcausemedicine #stress #inspiredliving #health #healing #life #purpose #love #weightloss #weightlossjourney #transformation #sleep #mindset #growth #mindfulness #fitnessmotivation #fitnessgoals #wellnessjourney

Food portions are out of control, especially in the United States! It’s easy to get accustomed to sitting down in front of a giant plate of pasta or a foot-long sandwich, but it’s WAY too much food for the average person! Next time you go out to eat, ask for a to-go box immediately and put half of your plate away. If you’re eating at home and trying to cut down, portion out what you would normally eat, then put back half of it. If you’re still hungry after pausing to digest... for 20 minutes, reach for some fruits, veggies, or nuts! www.functionalhealthinstitute.com #functionalmedicine #lifestylemedicine #inspiredliving #functionalhealthinstitute #health
