How to Become Stronger Than Your Excuses

Are you stuck in a health/energy rut and you're not sure where to start when it comes to improving your energy and health?

You don't become stronger than your excuses by continuing to make them. Sure, change is hard, but so is staying stuck in the low-energy, unhealthy feeling rut. It doesn't matter what your health goal is; start by taking the first step and making one small healthier change every day. Practice that change every day for 30 days until it becomes a habit and you no longer have to think about it.

Vibrant energy and health start by fueling your body with the specific nutrients it requires. And no, you can't protect your health simply by eating clean unless, of course, you graze on green grass all day, which also means you're not sitting (though it may make you laugh).

In today's stress-filled world, diet and exercise are not enough. If you're ready to feel better and start by building your strength physically, choose one of these healthy habits you can sustain for 30 days (hint: challenge yourself) and build on each one until you have some momentum. Once you start feeling full of energy and your overall health improves, your hair and nails grow faster, your muscles and skin become tighter and more toned, your body aches less, and you're able to shed those extra pounds, you will have all of the motivation you need to succeed at optimizing your health. Every aspect of your life will also start to change for the better!

Choose one of the following healthy habit swaps. If you're like me and you operate more efficiently under pressure, bundle three of these health habits into one simple-to-follow game plan. Studies prove we do best when we roll 3 goals together.

I've listed them as solutions to some of the most common health issues. 

PROTEIN SWAP OUT: Swap out inferior protein sources like yogurt, protein bars, or other protein sources for LynFit Natural Whey Protein Peptides instead. Better blood sugar, cortisol, cholesterol, and blood pressure; boosts metabolism; maximizes weight loss and fat burning. 

CAFFEINE SWAP OUT: Swap out that second cup of coffee.

SWAP COFFEE FOR LYNFIT DAILY POWER SHOT INSTEAD: Sure, having one cup of coffee is okay, but living on coffee doesn't just add excess calories; it spikes blood sugar, cortisol levels, and depletes nutrients from your body. Power Shot boosts natural energy and nourishes your body, strengthening immunity and improving overall skin, hair, and nail health too.

SWAP OUT OVER-THE-COUNTER SLEEP MEDICATIONS FOR LYNFIT LEAN SLEEP INSTEAD: It works better, improves sleep quality, leading to better energy and overall health, and doesn't slow your metabolism or harm liver health the way drugs can.

SWAP OUT/WEAN OFF PRESCRIPTION SEMAGLUTIDE/GLP-1 MEDICATIONS: For a more effective natural approach that maximizes hunger control, boosts metabolism and fat burning, making it easier to lose weight naturally, building and strengthening digestion, nutrient absorption, and preserving lean muscle. Protects against muscle loss that leads to weight gain.

SWAP OUT SALT OVERLOAD HYDRATION HELPERS: Flavor your water with LynFit Essential Amino Acids w/low-sodium electrolytes instead. It's better balanced so you don't spike blood pressure or become bloated. Better hydration supports proper water intake, which is better than consuming excessive water or liquids that deplete nutrients and can leave you dehydrated. 

SWAP OUT EXCESS SATURATED FATS that are clogging your arteries, making it harder to lose weight, and can trigger inflammation/pain for LynFit Pure Omega 3 instead. It has the perfect ratio of DHA and EPA for optimal brain and metabolic health. Your body will thank you.  

SWAP OUT COUCH TIME for one of these simple core-strengthening moves instead. You can do them at home while you're waiting for your morning coffee, shake to blend, or vegetables to cook. They're knee-friendly, safe, and a must-do for everybody.

• For counter push-ups (door jamb), keep your back flat and align your head and neck to help prevent what I call the phone back bump/hump. 
• Leg Swings — loosening up hamstrings and your psoas that become tight from driving, sitting (news flash: tight psoas muscles pull you forward and age your body , cause 90% of all back and hip pain!) Do 10-15 leg swings on each side throughout the day. 
• Squat holds against the wall to strengthen your quads and glutes: squeeze them and drive your heels into the floor — this is a safe knee, more than firm, and tightens your core. Don't forget to pull your stomach in.
