What is a life audit? A life audit is a fairly straightforward concept, and yet many of us get hung up on it simply because the thought alone can seem quite daunting.

Simply put, a life audit is when you take a long, detailed, and honest look at various areas in your life to assess which are and aren’t helping you live to your highest potential.

A life audit involves becoming aware of how you want your life to align with your MISSION, and assessing your current situation to see how it alters from this.

This can involve some honest soul-searching, digging deep, and often making some difficult decisions, so I will warn you that it’s not for the faint-hearted!

Sunshine provides numerous benefits to both physical and mental well-being. Here are some of the key advantages:

Vitamin D Synthesis:

Sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, which is essential for the body to absorb calcium and promote bone health. Exposure to sunlight helps convert cholesterol in the skin into vitamin D.

Mood Enhancement:

Sunlight stimulates the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that contributes to feelings of well-being and happiness. Exposure to natural light can help alleviate symptoms of depression and improve mood.

Regulation of Circadian Rhythms:

Exposure to natural light helps regulate the body's internal clock (circadian rhythm), which in turn regulates sleep-wake cycles, hormonal balance, and other physiological processes. This can contribute to better sleep and overall health.

Improved Sleep Quality:

Exposure to natural light during the day, especially in the morning, can help regulate melatonin production, promoting better sleep at night.

Enhanced Immune Function:

Sunlight exposure has been linked to improvements in immune function. Vitamin D, produced in response to sunlight, plays a crucial role in supporting the immune system.

Skin Health:

Moderate exposure to sunlight can promote the production of vitamin D and improve certain skin conditions. However, it's important to balance this with proper sun protection to prevent skin damage.

Bone Health:

Vitamin D, synthesized through sunlight exposure, is crucial for the absorption of calcium, contributing to strong and healthy bones.

Improved Cognitive Function:

Some studies suggest that exposure to natural light may have positive effects on cognitive function, including better concentration and productivity.

Reduced Risk of Certain Diseases:

Adequate sunlight exposure has been associated with a lower risk of certain diseases, including multiple sclerosis, certain types of cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.

Positive Impact on Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):

Sunlight exposure is often used as a treatment for Seasonal Affective Disorder, a type of depression that occurs at specific times of the year, typically during the fall and winter when there is less natural sunlight.

While sunlight has numerous benefits, it's important to balance exposure with proper sun safety practices to avoid the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage.

My best advice to you is to go out early in the morning while the sun is beginning to rise or later in the evening when its soon to set to still reap the benefits of the sun while it is at it's least strongest. This is the safest times of not wearing sunscreen to get the vitamin D while limiting your risk to the high intensity rays

Whether you're looking to enhance your own mental well-being or seeking a deeper understanding of mental health issues, this episode aims to create a safe space for open dialogue, self-reflection, and a renewed commitment to mental health awareness.

Tune in for a compassionate and informative discussion that seeks to inspire positive change in the way we perceive and approach mental health.

This episode is the first of a series of episodes for the month of December. Why did I chose December for this topic?

Because not everyone is happy and excited about the Holidays. There are people out there who are lonely and sad who feel worse during the Holidays.

I want to honor those people by saying I see you, I hear you, and I appreciate your openness to this topic.

Earthing refers to the practice of connecting with the Earth's natural energy by physically touching the ground with our bare skin, such as walking barefoot on grass, soil, or sand. This simple act allows us to absorb the Earth's electrons, which can have profound effects on our health.

Sugar comes in many forms beyond the white powder we often associate it as. Some are claimed to be better than others, and some have names you wouldn’t even recognize on an ingredient label. The whole subject of sugar in the health industry is confusing!

“It’s okay in moderation.”

“Your body isn’t designed to digest sugars.”

“Sugar-free products are always healthy.”

“Artificial sweeteners are worse.”

“You need sugar for energy.”

“Sugar is addictive.”

All of these are common claims to do with sugar, opposing one another. One thing is for certain: We are consuming more sugar in our diets than we EVER have before.

Studies have shown that consuming a large amount of fructose can cause a rise in bad cholesterol (LDL), blood glucose, insulin levels, and abdominal obesity. These findings were apparent in as little as 10 weeks.

Please note that all of these factors are major risk factors in developing heart disease.

Here are some more studies linking sugar consumption with heart disease:

While we’re all somewhat familiar with the nagging voice of guilt in our heads that accompanies an excessive or indulgent meal, it’s another thing entirely to HEED that voice and stop while our body is at a comfortably satiated level.

Stress-eating can be defined in other words as ‘emotional eating,’ or eating to compensate for, or as an alternative to, dealing with emotions.

Let's start at the very beginning. What are chakras, and how do they function within our bodies?

Chakras, in Sanskrit, translates to "wheels" or "circles." They are energy centers located along the central channel of our bodies, aligned with the spine.
