TAKING ACTION: ✅Everyone comment MINDSET below if you’re ready to pour into your brain health and discipline this week! Also, share one main goal you have for this week! ⬇️ we’ve covered both strength and cortisol in depth this month, and this week, I want to talk to everyone here about the most important topic of all—your mindset. Most people can lose weight temporarily. Most people can diet temporarily. Most people can exercise temporarily. As you’ve learned, however, temporary doesn’t cut it. One reason our efforts end up as temporary is due to the fact that most popular diets approach fat loss completely wrong. Most diets aren’t sustainable. With that said, another reason our efforts end up as temporary is that most people don’t work on their mindsets along the way—and in case it isn’t obvious by now, mindset is everything if you want long-term, sustainable results. 💯 With September quickly approaching, the goal is to buckle down during this season before the holiday season arrives. What you do now will impact your efforts and mindset during the holidays. Now is the time, friends. Now is the time. Let’s go. 🔥

TAKING ACTION: ✅Tomorrow is our optional 24-hour fast. I’ll give you tips for success in tomorrow’s post. If you’re new here and unsure about our 24-hour fast, let’s chat below! It’s Feast Day, and you know what that means! We are going to consume about 25% more nutrients today. As mentioned yesterday, there are physiological/fat-loss benefits that occur when participating in Feast Day; however, we’re talking about mindset this week, so today, I want to give you some of the psychological benefits that come along with it: 1. Strategically eating more interrupts deprivation psychology and lowers the mental cost of dieting. 2. It weakens rigid “good food/bad food” or all-or-nothing thinking. 3. It gives you something concrete to look forward to, which protects motivation. 4. It reduces decision fatigue and food-related cognitive load for the day. Everything we do here benefits both your body and your brain. 🧠 ⬇️Helpful Feast Day Tips⬇️ 🍽 Break your fast a little earlier than usual today. This will give you more time to consume the extra food today, without leaving you uncomfortably full. 🍽 Eat nutrient-dense (and high-quality) meals. Consider ways to add to each meal (e.g., adding nuts or seeds). 🍽 Have an extra snack—maybe a clean protein shake! 🍽 Don’t stress over the 25% target, and don’t force yourself to eat more if you’re satisfied. Any amount more is beneficial for your metabolism.

TAKING ACTION: ✅Tell me how you plan to spend your rest & recovery day? Will you take advantage of the yoga/mobility workout today? Take a walk? Something else? **workout in comments*** It’s Rest & Recovery Day, and you know what I’m going to say, don’t you? Taking proper rest & recovery days from working out is critical when it comes to balancing your cortisol rhythm. Here’s why ⬇️ Exercise briefly raises cortisol to help your body handle the workout, which is normal—but skipping rest days can keep it high for too long, making it harder for your muscles to repair, leaving you more open to getting sick, and messing with your sleep. Taking recovery days lets cortisol drop back to normal so your body can heal, get stronger, and avoid burnout. ⬇️OPTIONAL READING⬇️ Why recovery days matter: Balancing cortisol levels — Summit Physical Therapy & Performance _________________________________________________ Don’t forget - you can earn monthly recurring commission by inviting friends with your unique code in the app! 💗 Share it with some friends and encourage them to join!!
