I can’t believe we have to say this, but, it’s okay to want to lose weight!

Under the guise of body positivity, it’s become taboo to talk about weight loss on social media. We’re going to dive into some of the messaging around wanting to lose weight — especially for summer — to separate the truths, mistruths, and hypocrisy present there.

Let’s talk, for lack of a better term, about self-care. Even if we have issues with the term, the purpose is completely legit. The skeptic in you might say: Why do I need self-care anyway? The trend or commercialization of the term has mostly come about as a result of the imbalance that’s come up in many of our lives. Self-care encourages self-compassion, lets you press pause on multitasking, and cuts the toxic effects of stress. It prevents burnout, improves focus, encourages the relaxation response, and raises your immunity. So let’s discuss some of the things you can do to introduce self-care into your life.

In today’s episode, we're serving up a healthy dose of knowledge about the top five supplements we believe everyone should be taking for optimal health. Now, remember, while we're passionate about these supplements, we want to stress the importance of consulting with your healthcare provider before introducing anything new into your regimen.

Today's featured supplements are all available from our private label store. Head over to foodtrainers.com/shop for convenient access to all these health-boosting options.

1. Vitamin D (D3): We cannot stress enough the power of this sunshine vitamin! Kickstart your day by taking it in the morning with food. Not only is it a champion for bone health, mood regulation, and immune system function, but it also plays a vital role in fertility and even reducing cancer risk.
2. B Vitamins: Say goodbye to hormonal imbalance and energy dips with your morning dose of B vitamins (preferably with food). Do you use birth control pills or enjoy a drink or two? Be aware, they can deplete these vital nutrients. Don’t forget that B vitamins, especially folate and B12, also play a role in reducing cancer risk associated with drinking.
3. Probiotics: Meet 'Gutsy', our champion for gut health! Remember that your gut health is crucial for serotonin production and overall mood. Also, if you've recently used antibiotics, it's time to replenish your gut flora. We're big on prebiotic-rich foods - hello, asparagus, jicama, green bananas, and garlic! There's so much to learn about the various strains of probiotics and how they cater to individual needs.
4. Omega-3s: You might have heard of the amazing benefits of Omega-3s from Robert Lustig's book "Metabolical". We’re backing it for its role in reducing depression, inflammation, Alzheimer's risk, promoting heart health, and aiding weight loss.
5. Magnesium: Here's your key to absorbing Vitamin D. We're partial to three types: Magnesium Glycinate (most relaxing), Magnesium Citrate (our "Chill Pills"), and Magnesium Oxide (aka "Number Two Pills"). Each serves different functions, so you can tailor them to your specific needs. Remember, despite its presence in foods like leafy greens and beans, we believe that magnesium supplements act as a necessary "insurance policy" due to soil depletion affecting the nutrient levels in these foods.

As always, we've included tidbits from our personal experiences and insights from research to help you make informed choices. Remember to tune into your body's needs and adjust your intake accordingly.

We love covering topics that we believe will be of interest or benefit to people, but at some point the best thing you can do is seek out personalized advice. Our nutrition sessions are a way for clients to dig deeper into topics that are of interest to them or that they may have heard about on the podcast or elsewhere.

If you’ve ever been curious about what happens behind closed doors, we’re going to lift the veil on a nutrition session, showing you what it’s like in one of our sessions from an inside perspective.

We’re getting ready to reenter the public as the pandemic winds down. One negative aspect of that is the urge to compare ourselves to others we haven’t seen in some time.

Even if you don’t think this is something you struggle with, you may be doing it subconsciously. On average, 12% of our thoughts are comparison-based – and it’s not something you ever grow out of. We’re going to explore this phenomenon and offer some tips to avoid it.
