This might surprise you about self-care

I love health. I love peptides, supplements, movement, even tools like my vibration plate and rebounder. But here's the thing I've learned — even the best “healthy things” can start to work against us if we're just piling them on top of an already stressed-out life.

Because here's the reality:
Most women I talk to (myself included at times) are already running on overdrive. We're juggling family, work, endless to-do lists, and then trying to “fix” ourselves by adding more hacks, more labs, more protocols, more noise.

And in the middle of it all, when we're doom-scrolling on our phones at night trying to decompress… or calling “self-care” our nail appointment, hair appointment, or brow wax… deep down, we know that's not really nourishing us.

The truth? What most of us need isn't more to do. It's less.

The most healing thing we can offer our bodies right now is to slow down.

📵 To take a walk without our phones.

😮‍💨 To sit and breathe for 3 minutes before rushing to the next task.

🥗 To choose one nourishing meal instead of trying to “perfect” every bite.

🥳 To make space for joy — not just obligations.

Because slowing down isn't about being lazy. It's about creating the margin our bodies and nervous systems desperately need to regulate, heal, and thrive.

I've felt the difference myself. The days I try to do everything perfectly are the days I feel most drained. But the days I simplify — eat a basic protein + veggie plate, walk outside, go to bed earlier — those are the days I feel clear, calm, and strong.

And I want that for you, too.

So today, instead of adding another “hack” to your plate, ask yourself:
👉 Where can I slow down?
👉 What can I say no to?
👉 How can I give myself permission to rest, nourish, and just be?

Sometimes, the healthiest thing we can do is less.
