Why I drink celery juice every morning!


A few weeks ago, I started drinking celery juice.  You guys, it sounded weird to me too!  But stick with me! 

About 7 years ago when I was pregnant with my first son, I started having thyroid issues.  I was later diagnosed with Hashimotos, a auto immune disease where your body attacks your thyroid. My doctor put me on synthetic hormones and I thought that would be the end of it. False!! My thyroid function fluctuates daily, which means so do my symptoms. Some days I feel super achy, fatigued, have major brain fog, have problems remembering things, I’m sensitive to hot/cold, and get major anxiety. And other days I feel fine! Over the years my symptoms have gotten worse and more frequent. It’s so frustrating! 

My friend sent me an article by the Medical Medium. He talks a lot about improving thyroid function naturally...I’m all about natural solutions. And one of his biggest recommendations he has is to drink 16oz of pure celery juice daily on an empty stomach. It honestly is pretty gross...and I’ve had to add some apple to mine while I get used to the flavor. But the benefits are mind blowing. It helps prevent cancer, lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, reduce inflammation in your body, improves digestion, treats insomnia, and hydrates skin. And the biggest benefit for me is that it can help heal my thyroid. 

I will keep you posted on how I feel, but I have noticed two things within the first couple weeks.  First, I've been sleeping SO much better!  I have been sleeping throughout the night with out a problem (well as long as one of my three kids doesn't wake up...ha!).  It's crazy!  I didn't realize that I wasn't sleeping that good until I started drinking this and I have been waking up feeling so rested!!  And second, mental clarity!  My biggest complaint with Hashimoto's has been brain fog!  But the past couple weeks I feel like I can think more clearly!  

It's still really early in my journey with celery juice, so I will keep you posted!  And I also plan to start a "heavy metals detox" smoothie!  So I will give you more info on that in the next couple weeks!

LIIFT4 Results! My honest review!

I just finished the full LIIFT4 workout program!  And I wanted to get on here and let you know my honest review of this workout!  We all hear about these amazing workouts, but we wonder "could I do that?"  So I'm gonna lay it all out for you!!



I was a little skeptical going into this workout because I wondered if a 4 day a week workout could get me results.  Yes, you heard that right....4 days a week!!  3 off days!  But I got amazing results!!  And I loved every minute!! This workout is 8 weeks long, 4 days a week 30-40 minutes a day.  That amount of time is SO doable for any busy schedule!  I'm a mom of 3 little ones with a husband who travels a ton!  So I need a workout that is quick but effective!  It is a mix of cardio and weight lifting with an extra emphasis on your core!  Most of the workouts seem like they are more upper body focused, but surprisingly I gained muscle in my legs too! 

Here's how the workouts work!  The program features classic lifting techniques that let your customers isolate, stabilize, and focus each rep on the muscle group they’re working. Plus, your customers get to control the amount of weight they use, which helps determine how much strength they’ll add. Then, the High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) cardio burns through the excess fat. And all along the way, the nutrition plan promotes lean muscle development and healthy weight management. This is how you end up both strong and shredded.  Click on the link below to see a video of what the workouts look like...

It also comes with a complete meal plan that is customizable based on your goals!  It uses a portion control container system and integrates a superfood shake.  The meal plan was totally doable!  And it allowed me to eat to fuel my body without starving!  It felt like a lot of food, but it's all about eating the in the right portions of the rights foods!

So what were my results?  Check out the picture below!  I feel so much more toned and SO much stronger!  I have gained so much definition in my arms and abs!!  My goal was to gain weight and muscle!  And I did!!  I gained about 4 pounds, 1/2 inch on each arm, 1.5 inches around my butt, and 1 inch on each leg!!  And like I said, it's all about your goals because I had ladies in my groups lose 10 pounds and 15 inches....so it's completely customizable!!



I feel more confident, stronger and excited!!  I loved that I was able to fit this workout into my busy schedule.  I enjoyed all the workouts and looked forward to them every day (I can't say that about all the workouts that I've done!)  And I can't wait to do another round!!  So is this workout for you??
