Ep. 178 7 Questions to Ask When Your Confidence is Down

07/01/24 • 29 min

As humans, it's normal for our confidence to ebb and flow but are there things we can do or questions to ask ourselves when our confidence is low?

We recently had our Vital Spark team retreat and it was so amazing to see everyone in person, laugh, play, and share our vision for the future. We also ate a lot of great food and enjoyed some adult beverages as well.

I knew going into that weekend that I would be consuming foods I don't typically eat and drinking more than normal and that Sunday, I wasn't feeling my best and thus my confidence felt lower. The inner critic voice showed up and it still does to this day even though I've worked on it a lot over the years.

I went back and went through the questions we're going to share with you today and these questions will definitely help you get back on track with your confidence and also your habits.

From remembering our past success to what we are saying to ourselves to other's opinions, this is a phenomenal list to use consistently to be your best self.

Ep. 177 The Difference Between a DUTCH Test and Bloodwork

As I've shared on my stories about my own health journey, a common question has come up enough that we wanted to talk about it on the podcast!

That topic is the DUTCH test and you've probably heard me talk about it before as it's something we offer our clients but what really is it? How does it work? How is it different than bloodwork?

DUTCH is an at-home urine test that is easy to collect, and favorable for those who don’t like having blood drawn and is a complete look at sex hormones, adrenal hormones, cortisol patterning, neurotransmitter metabolites, oxidative stress markers, nutritional organic acids, and more!

The DUTCH checks hormones AND their metabolites and how they are being detoxed. In other words, it shows the full journey of hormones through the body, rather than just what is free and available in the blood at the time you get your blood drawn. This is why your hormones can come back as normal in your bloodwork, but then issues might show up on the DUTCH, because we’re seeing more behind the scenes of your hormonal systems.

Listen in as we'll get even more detailed in the episode!

Ep. 179 This Is What It Actually Means When You Overeat

Your relationship with food and eating patterns are not pass/fail...

When you overeat, this is just more information to help you see where you might not be free when it comes to your relationship with food.

We can use that information to learn and navigate our relationship with food better!

In this episode, we want to share 6 major reasons why you may be overeating and many of these are hard to be self-aware of especially in the moment.

From psychological full permission to emotionally dealign with a rough situation to your physiology needing more nourishment, at the end of the day, you're human. This still happens to everyone occasionally and we want you to have progress in this area but not to expect perfection.
