🍂Who would like to join us for a 7 Day Fall Reset?🍂

Summer in Northern Michigan is amazing, but it can also mean vacations, cookouts, eating on the go, more libations, later nights, more treats around the campfire and routines getting out of whack. Fall is the perfect time to get back to the basics and give our bodies a little extra support.

For 7 days, we will focus on nourishing our bodies, hydration, whole foods, sleep, movement and supporting healthy habits. A simple reset designed to support the body’s detoxification process while providing nutritional support.

Everyone who joins will be added to our EH45 Fall Reset group where we will check in, encourage, share tips, recipes, grocery ideas, accountability and a place to ask questions along the way.

After the detox, many notice things like feeling less bloated, having more energy, clearer thinking, and less cravings for sweets. The goal is to take a week to be intentional about what we are putting into our bodies and how we are taking care of ourselves.

You do NOT need to live locally to participate. We can ship the kits directly to your home.

Interested? Comment RESET below or message us and we will get you the information. (We will start as a group on October 9th.)

Let's head into fall feeling supported, nourished and a little more intentional.

A little behind the scenes of what life coaching can look like...

Soemtimes everything feels tangled when it is in your head. The things you need to do or change but are not quite sure where to start.

And sometimes... we put it on the whiteboard. We talk. We unpack. We connect the dots. We look at the patterns, obsticles, possibilities, and what might be keeping you stuck.

The goal is not to have someone tell you what to do. It is to create space to see it differently, gain clarity, and recognize the next step that is right for you.

You don't have to have it all figured out.

Did you know your nervous system can react to stress before you consciously realize you’re stressed? Your autonomic nervous system is constantly responding to what is happening around you.

When your body senses a threat, you may notice:

• Tight shoulders or jaw
• Faster heartbeat
• Shallow breathing
• Digestive changes
• Feeling restless or on edge
• Difficulty concentrating
• Trouble falling or staying asleep
• Feeling shaky inside

Stress does not always look like panic. Sometimes it looks like irritability, exhaustion, procrastination, shutting down, feeling overwhelmed, or not being able to wind down and relax.

The good news? Your nervous system is adaptable. Practices such as slow breathing, movement, time outdoors, adequate sleep, supportive social connection, and relaxation techniques can help support your body’s ability to shift out of a heightened stress response.

Pay attention to the signals your body is giving you. Get curious about WHY your body is giving you signals.

You may have heard these words, but do you know what they look like in everyday life?

Your nervous system is constantly taking in information and deciding: Am I safe, or do I need to protect myself? And sometimes that protection does not look the way we think it would.

🥊 FIGHT can look like:
Irritability • frustration • feeling defensive • snapping easily • needing control • jaw or muscle tension

🏃‍♀️ FLIGHT can look like:
Overthinking • staying constantly busy • restlessness • anxiety • racing thoughts • difficulty sitting still or slowing down

🧊 FREEZE can look like:
Feeling stuck • shutting down • procrastinating • brain fog • feeling disconnected • exhaustion • difficulty making decisions

These responses are not necessarily a sign that something is wrong with you. Fight, flight and freeze are normal protective responses designed to help us respond to stress or perceived danger.

The problem can come when your body does not recognize that the stress has passed. This is where nervous system regulation comes in. Learning to recognize your patterns is a great first step. From there, we can begin giving the nervous system more opportunities for calm, connection, movement, rest and safety.

At Encompass Health 45, we believe wellness is about looking at the whole person. Nutrition, lifestyle, stress, emotions and the nervous system all matter.

Which one do you recognize most in yourself ~ FIGHT, FLIGHT or FREEZE?

🔥 DAY 17 - Strong Today. Strong Tomorrow.
Every choice you make today builds the version of you that shows up tomorrow.

Strong:
It’s the workout you show up for.
It’s the meals you choose with intention. (whole food = whole mood!)
It’s the mindset you reset when life gets hard.
It’s the tiny decisions that stack into big change.

Because strong today becomes strong tomorrow. (it really does)

Drop a 💪 if you’re choosing strength.

Think all Vitamin D supplements are the same?

Two bottles can both say Vitamin D on the front, but that does not mean they are the same product or that they even have the same ingredients.

When choosing a Vitamin D supplement, there is more to consider than the number of IUs on the bottle:
→ The form and source of Vitamin D
→ The dose ~ more doesn’t mean better
→ The quality of the supplement ingredients
→ Whether it includes complementary nutrients, such as Vitamin K2
→ And most importantly… does this supplement make sense for YOU?

Vitamin D is not a supplement that everyone should take the same amount. Your current Vitamin D level, diet, sun exposure, health history, medications, and individual need all matter.

We believe supplements should be intentional ~ not just something you grab because the front of the bottle sounds good. Through muscle testing we help individualize nutritional support and what your body may need.

Go grab your Vitamin D bottle. What does YOUR label say?

If you are not sure what you are looking at, bring it with you to EH45. We love teaching you how to read beyond the front of the bottle.\
