Daily Inspiration for Metabolic, Hormonal, and Digestive Health

Lean for Life Membership offers more than just the Lean for Life Membership offers more than just the knowledge you need to repair your metabolism!

Did you know, as a part of our membership, we offer discounts on all kinds of helpful tools to help you feel the best you can feel?

This month we want to highlight BODYGEM metabolic testing.

Many factors impact how many calories you need each day: your thyroid function, medications, caffeine use, age, exercise, and your body composition. Where many nutrition plans use a "one size fits all" calculation, the BodyGem Metabolic test actually measures your exact calorie needs by testing your resting metabolic rate (RMR). With this knowledge we can create a plan tailored to you, specifically, so you can be sure it will be effective.

With this knowledge you can:
-Know exactly how much energy (calories) you need for weight loss, maintenance, or weight gain
-Optimize your nutrition for sports performance
-Achieve weight loss or ideal body fat percentage maintenance

You can learn more about BodyGem metabolic testing from the 'Assessments' tab of https://bit.ly/3Jvi7ck !

As a member of Lean for Life, you will get a 10% discount on this test! Book a BodyGem session and learn more about the Lean for Life Membership from the link in our bio.

News 🗞 flash! Did you know that you can make f News 🗞 flash!  Did you know that you can make fermented foods at home without a fancy starter culture? 💥 

We made these pickles from our @sandhillsfarm2table cucumbers, onion, garlic, and pickling spices - all fermenting in salt water 💦

What’s a simple trick that you use to support your gut health?
