Not to brag but I’m getting really good at squeezing in naps and I think it’s because I’m getting better at breathing
i want to nail the perfect sleep routine for when i start training again in november
here is what im thinking so far
→ comfy bedding / pillows (any excuse to buy fresh bedding lol)
→ dark room/eye mask + ear plugs
→ magnesium before bed
→ no phone 1 hour before sleeping
→ electronics out of the room
is there any other suggestions/findings you recommend?

The cold bath was noticeably easier today doing the sauna first. I wonder if this means I should increase the cold time from 3 to 5 minutes even though Dr. Søberg says the minimum effective MED dose is ~2 min per day. (Link at MED).

I learned about the Wim Hof breathing "squeeze" for the first time yesterday during an in-person guided session. I found it made my session more intense both mentally and physically.
- I'll test out adding to the existing guided videos I use at <100% intensity to start
- At "the top" of the breath hold which is the 2nd shorter hold (~15 seconds inhale after the 1st longer hold) I will flex and squeeze my muscles
- Some instructors advise against doing this for fear of the body seizing and locking up
*Not medical advice. Do your own research.

People are drinking drinks that have plastic bits that light up and I can’t stop thinking about the neon pink microplastics traveling through their systems

Do you check your water when you travel? Tap water in Detroit tastes funny so I looked it up and there’s 12 total contaminants and 6 that exceed EWG guidelines
Decided to be safe and get bottled water at the restaurant after reading this and several articles 🥴

This is nuts. Obesity? Low education? Lack of healthcare access?
Per Gisle Djupesland is the inventor of the nasal pump mist, which won the European Inventor Award in 2021. Djupesland's invention has helped millions of people including me so i just wanna take a minute and shout bro out
that feeling of relief when you’re sick af and you neti pot first thing in the morning 😌
Fucked around: ate late, had a bunch of carbs, sugar, caffeine, and some alcohol
Found out: couldn't fall or stay asleep, restlessness, headache this morning
Good reminder to not do that 😵💫
[ironically my sleep score was 100%]

TIL from a Dr. that it is not true you *should* poop once a day. Everyone has a different metabolic rate that determines how many times per week you poop given you're eating nutrient filled foods. 💩
Bet you didn’t know there’s different types of flu shots and you can choose which one you want
It would be cool if I could throw an annual wellness party with friends where we have an optional blood draw station to get your labs done, vitamin booster injections, massage area, with different healthy foods catering + fresh squeezed juice station, group mindfulness session
I’d give out cotton robes that have people’s names embroidered on them and then maybe some small detailing at the hem or under the collar or belt with the year and that it’s made with love from me. Maybe another year a hat station with live embroidery so people can get their sun protection on.
Goody bags would be filled with all my favorite “wellness”aligned goodies for that year including skincare, sauna brushes, compression socks, sweet treats, maybe a coupon to my favorite local sauna, bug spray, etc.

Thank you for standing strong frens 💚🫂
I put blue light blocking glasses on for the first time in the middle of the afternoon and quickly began to feel sleepy.
Someone in my coworking space explained how to use these
- Orange lenses are meant to be used 2 hours before bed
- Yellow lenses can be used during the day to reduce eye strain

Becoming a mom is such a blessing and challenge. It's really impossible to understand unless you've gone through it or been really close to someone who has.
It's okay to take time to yourself mommas 🤍

The common response to digital burnout is 'touch grass', but what does that mean for you?
You don’t need therapy
All you need is sauna & cold plunge session followed by reading book in a coffee shop
