Hi Everyone! As we set our clocks back and return to Standard Time, there’s more at play than just an extra hour of sleep. Here’s what Daylight Saving Time (DST) means for your body—and how to make the most of the transition! 🌞 Better Alignment with Natural Rhythms: Returning to Standard Time brings our schedules closer to the sun’s natural rise and fall, helping our body’s internal clock (circadian rhythm) sync up with nature. Many people, particularly in this fall transition, notice improved sleep quality and daytime energy. 😴 Easing “Social Jetlag”: DST can create a mismatch between our biological clocks and social schedules. Though it’s less intense in the fall, this misalignment (often called social jetlag) still affects mood and energy. Use this time to reset your schedule naturally. ❤️ Heart & Mental Health: Studies show some health risks linked to DST changes, like increased heart strain and shifts in mood. Getting outside during daylight hours and following a gentle evening routine can support a smooth transition. 🔄 Standard Time Year-Round? Many sleep and health experts suggest that sticking to Standard Time all year would promote better alignment with our natural rhythms, especially in northern regions like Canada. What do you think? Make this time change work for you by prioritizing sleep and enjoying sunlight when you can. Let’s help our bodies ease into harmony with the season! 🍂

Hi everyone! I just finished watching a movie called “a man called otto” staring Tom hanks on Netflix. Such an incredible movie! I thought I would share because the message behind the movie is learning to live after grief, I think a lot of people who have been through any type of loss in life could definitely learn something from this film. I would associate this with mindset because i felt it was empowering.

🎃 If you’re wondering how Halloween treats can impact your blood sugar, I did a little experiment! 🍬 I tried a “healthier” candy option (KIND bar mini’s) and kept my blood sugar fairly stable—while there are peaks, they don’t rise very much over 6 mmol/L 🙌. How? Here’s my strategy: 1️⃣ Prepped with Protein prior to Trick or Treating. 2️⃣ Kefir & Inositol: These powerhouses help keep glucose and insulin sensitivity in check, making it easier for my body to manage the sugar load 💪. As soon as I ate four mini Kind Bars, I enjoyed a glass of kefir (my new favourite!) and a scoop of inositol in water 3️⃣ Walked for 2 hours while Trick or Treating: Movement can work wonders for glucose control, helping muscles use up that sugar more effectively 🚶‍♀️. Want to see how your body reacts to foods? Testing your response to food and exercise patterns using a CGM (Continue Glucose Monitor) can give you invaluable insights into making the best choices for your health—without missing out on the treats! It’s all about STRATEGY!
