    In this episode of Talk to Vicky, RHN,’A Total Approach to Wellness’ Vicky covers insights and her personal experiences on achieving better sleep. She discusses common sleep issues, their impact on daily life, and practical ways to improve sleep hygiene. 

    I recount my own struggles with sleep during a stressful period caring for my mother, highlighting the significance of managing stress and maintaining liver health. I share tips such as establishing a bedtime routine, avoiding late-night eating, and utilizing supplements like B12 and glycine – among many others!

    🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways:

    • Sleep Struggles: I share insights on common sleep issues, including difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up in the middle of the night. We’ll discuss how a racing mind, poor habits, and even seasonal changes impact sleep. 🛏️💤
    • Consistent Bedtime Routines: Building a consistent routine can be game-changing for sleep. Tips include winding down electronics an hour before bed, turning down lights, and creating a calming environment that signals your body it’s time for rest. 📱🌙

    Can You Do a Little More, Can You Do a Little Less?

    What do I mean by that,

    With working on brain health and lifestyle, can we add more whole foods, good fats to our daily diet?
    Can we stretch our body for 5 minutes every morning and every night?
    Can we drink another glass of water in our day?
    Can we get up 10 minutes earlier to have a personal development time?
    Can we exercise one more extra day through the week?

    OR

    Can we drink one less coffee a day?
    Can we go with out the sugary snacks for a week?
    Can we stop at one glass of wine on the weekend?
    Can we go to bed at a decent hour each night?
    Can we stop making excuses in our heads as too ‘why not’?

    I think you get the idea. “Can you do a little more, to feel good about you and stay healthy?” and “Can you do a little less of the things that keep you unhealthy?”

    All it takes is 5 minutes a day, CONSISTENTLY to see the benefits in 3 to 6 months.

    Sometimes we are not aware of the gradual changes in ourselves, but when others are noticing and commenting. ” You look great!” “What’s different about you?”  You’ll know you are on the right track.  

    BEST of All, you feel better, your energy is back, you are thinking clearer.

    “What do you need to do a little bit more of?” and “What do you need to do a little less of?”

    I’ve opened up my online schedule if you need guidance, because I can honestly say that there really isn’t anything else available to support the many health challenges women face without completely feeling restrictive or having uncomfortable side effects such as headaches, more inflammation, more joint pain, insomnia, diarrhea, or dizziness.  

    You’ve likely tried a whole bunch of ‘things’ that have barely worked. And the truth is that it takes a toll on you — personally, emotionally and physically.  

    So if you’re ready to get your energy back, get rid of the aches and pains, the bloating and the gas, sleeping better, get rid of that brain fog, balance your hormones and live your life to the fullest, then I’d love to support you.

    Feel Free to Reply to this with Article with something that you need to “Do a little more of or Do a little less of.”

    Let’s FACE it.

    It’s one thing to be MOTIVATED to do something.  It’s another to have the ENERGY to complete it.

    For SOME, a Weight Loss program is hard.  Especially when you have to prepare one MEAL for one member of the family and then another MEAL for you…  It SUCKS.
    Or you are EXCITED because the scale shows a 5 lbs weight loss only to go through the HOLIDAY Month and gain it all back, (and some…..)  It is HARDER to TRY and LOSE the Weight Again.  It SUCKS.

    Maybe Weight Loss is not an issue for YOU.  
    Maybe it’s EXERCISING, maybe it‘s getting to SLEEP at a proper time, maybe it’s DRINKING less.  Whatever stops you from MOVING Forward and MAKING Positive Changes, it can be a struggle and at times It Can SUCK.
    Here’s a little Tip for you.  When I want to motivate myself for change.  What I have found helpful along the way is to make smaller daily incremental changes.  Having a shorter timeline and focusing on the end result.

    For example, you wake up TIRED, you feel TIRED all day….. unless you have a coffee or tea, you go to bed TIRED, but you can’t sleep.  Then the cycle continues day to day that you become numb to how you are feeling.  It becomes routine.  It just becomes a part of who you are.

    What’s something you can change?

    A small incremental change that doesn’t require a ton of MOTIVATION.  Going back to the example.  First thing in the morning, reach for a glass of WATER.  Start the day with 3 or 4 glasses of WATER before you eat, before you grab your coffee or tea.  No lemon, no ginger in the water.  Just plain room temperature WATER.
    If you are not a big WATER drinker start with one or two glasses in the AM, then each morning start to build on that.  
    Creating this daily habit, you will start to FEEL more Energy, Clearer Thinking, Less Cravings throughout the day.

    What daily small incremental Changes need to be made so you don’t have to go through your day Feeling Tired?

    This might sound really simple for you.  TRY IT!  See how you feel.

    I have implemented many step by step helpful tips in my MEMORY METHOD Program to help YOU not feel TIRED all the time.  To get your motivation back that will help eliminate the Brain Fog….
    It’s always nice to have someone supporting you along the way.  

    Let’s get you on Track and get Motivated to Start Your Day.

    Do you remember this slogan?

    Does She or Doesn’t She

    In 1956, Clairol launched an at-home colour wash advertising campaign. Clairol became a household name and women wanted to try this hair dye and keep people guessing.
    Oh man, how far we’ve come. Now it feels so great to have our hair cut and coloured, whether by a salon or at home.  We still want to keep people guessing our age.  Sadly, our hair and skin are not the only thing that give our age away.
    A lot of our AGING is hidden inside and no one notices.  Aging is how we are feeling, (…cloudy thinking, tired, unfocused, bloated and gassy…), or how we are moving (..painful joints, sore muscles…). How we are thinking, listening and learning.
    My philosophy is, it doesn’t matter what AGE YOU ARE, you do not have to experience any of these symptoms.
    Keep reading I may have a solution for you……  
    It was the day after New Year’s.  I was walking my two dogs when I tripped and fell on my right hand.  My hand swelled up like a balloon.  I did not want to go to emergency…(Yes stubborn.) No broken bones.  I could move my fingers, so I figured I was okay.  It took a long time before I could use my hand, open bottles, put any weight on it, even driving was a bit of a challenge…..
    WELL what do you know, two years later I did the same thing, fell on the same hand.  This time I did get x-rays, everything was fine.  AND YES, all the same side effects as last time…….
    Fast forward to today, and on that dominant hand two of my fingers are showing signs of arthritis.  Not a pretty sight.  
    I used to wake up in the morning and my fingers were aching.  I soon learned the cause of why my fingers were aching the next day.  I began trying different foods and supplements.  I figured out a way to slow the progression of the inflammation in my fingers and not wake up with an aching hand.
    Listen, I know that having a few sore fingers does not compare with what aches and pains you may be experiencing. I use the example only to say, depending on what is going on with you there are ways to get some relief, to bring the inflammation down, to minimize the pain.  It’s important to address the inflammation, before it gets worse.
    My goal is to make the next DECADE MATTER without aches and pain.
    What about you?  What’s something you would like to CHANGE to make your next 10 Years MATTER?  
    So…It takes a shift in our thinking. It takes a desire to want to change and sometimes we need help along the way.  
    My last 17 years as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist listening to my clients along with my own personal experiences have led me to putting together a program that helps with brain health, inflammation, hormone balancing, improving sleep patterns and well….just feeling good everyday.
    I only take a certain number of individuals into the program at a time in order to have a more personal experience and to focus on getting results.  Results like eliminating the Brain Fog, Improving Sleep, Improving Digestion, Balance Hormones, and an excitement to start Your day.  
    The program is not for Everyone. I have a few times slots, if you would like to find out if this program is for you.  Check availability HERE with me for a call.
    What daily changes need to be made so you can experience your Best Life at Any Age?
    Sometimes you need the steps or the accountability partner to help you get there and that’s okay.

    Let’s take those those necessary steps and say Life Begins A What Ever Age You Want it to!
