Finding Balance and Wellness
Something beautiful happens to a woman when she turns 40. She experiences a liberation of sorts and comes into her own. She is less concerned with what others think of her and begins to value herself a bit more. Her priorities shift and she starts to tune into herself and pay attention to her own needs, and not a moment too soon, because her body is about to go through many unexpected, often unwelcome changes and the years of self-neglect are about to catch up to her (Best Life 2020).
Instead of enjoying her new found liberation, the average woman over 40 is weighed down by discomfort from poor digestion, confusion and brain fog, losing battles with weight loss, off-the-rails anxiety, low energy and fatigue, but still can’t sleep well. Her muscles and joints are aching, hormones are raging, bladder is failing and her appearance is changing. There is often a growing feeling of helplessness that comes with these physical experiences that really fight against the beauty that takes place in a woman over forty’s soul.
"A woman does not become interesting until after she is over 40."
-Coco Chanel
Getting the support needed for optimal wellness
You should be in the driver's seat of your wellness journey
It can be scary and frustrating because there are a thousand conflicting voices in front of her providing quick fix solutions, but they are often radical, unsustainable, undesirable, unaffordable, and even at times, unsafe. Thanks to the power of advertising, most women are not surprised to learn the importance of daily vitamin and mineral intake. However, many are frustrated when after spending a lot of money on the latest vitamin that they were told they "had to have," they still don't feel any better. They are often shocked to learn most of us can attain optimal wellness by eating quality whole foods that are full of nutrients and have been prepared properly.
While that is great news, it still doesn’t answer the question so many are asking, “What should I be eating?” With different experts recommending different diets—Paleo, Keto, Vegan, etc, how do you know which is right for you? As you probably already suspect, there is no one diet that is perfect for you. Your diet needs to be as dynamic and individual—bio-individual, as you.
