Light Not Might

HEY!  You are in the middle of a pandemic and what is supposed to be the tail end of an entire year in quarantine. Of course you are struggling on so many levels! I have some info for you to consider. Mother Nature, your life coach, has a preference for ketones, and not glucose, for fueling the various important functions of your brain and body.     Are you pretty sure that meditation and yoga are not working? They can't unless you get off sugar. Are you telling yourself a story that hormones are the reason you cannot get to your goal weight?  You're right. Sugar is why. Insulin is the very hormone that is to blame. When you eat carbs, your  pancreas secretes this fat-storage command to every cell in your body. Fat loss, weight loss and mental health cannot remotely happen if you  are a sugar-burner. When you eat carbs, your body converts them to glucose to fuel your brain. What happens next is a hormonal roller coaster that, unless you are exercising 7 hours a day, leads to fat storage.   STARVE YOUR BODY OF SUGAR AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT............. Join in the fun with Danielle Day, Seattle-based author, lifestyle coach, Yoga teacher trainer and mystical LIGHTWORKER. In this 20 part series, you will learn Nature-Based practices and concepts for making sense of the magical world around you. Health, wealth and happiness are tangible blessings you can create right now. This series is for anyone at a point in life where satisfaction and contentment are elusive. Danielle is 53 years old this year, and speaks with passion about cultivating magic and manifestation in the back half of life. Tai Chi'll, Magical Daoism, Ayurveda, crystals, forest bathing, meditation, and gratitude challenges are all a part of the fun. There is a reason you feel better beside a fireplace, working with crystals, hiking in the forest and mountains, and sitting beside the ocean, or any river or lake. Learn how to lean into Mother Nature's Coaching with your guide Danielle Day. Are you ready to unlock the secrets to living with greater peace and ease? This high-vibration content is sure to make you smile, long after the episode ends. Feel free to jump in for any session, as they are presented in no special order.    Let's get into it!
